Fate of the Clans: Bad Ends (Fanfic)

Ongoing 11 chapters

Tropes that apply

Above the Gods: Beasts are those gods would kneel to and Grand Servants are to kill the Beasts.
All Myths Are True: Even figures from myth actually existed and are able to be summoned as Servants. They are even able to be in possession of what was described in their legends.
An Arm and a Leg:
- Severing a Master's right arm is how you steal Command Seals or a way to prevent a stroke from being used.
- Okada cuts Chiron's left arm and Reisi's right arm off.
- Mordred cuts Mikoto's right arm off.
- Kiyohime rips Adolf's right arm off.
Anyone Can Die: As this is a collection of bad ending then anyone can be offed any number of times.
Armor Is Useless: When up against Okada's Noble Phantasm, Settlement Sword. Unless the defense is conceptual, anything that tries to impede the sword will be sliced through like a hot knife cutting butter.
Attack the Mouth: Okada stabs Reisi's older brother through the mouth and out the back of his skull.
Battle Aura: Kings and Clansmen are able to output their aura when they fight, the energy taking the color of whatever Clan they're in.
Berserk Button: For those looking to be barbequed, lie to Kiyohime.
Blood Knight: Cú Chulainn loves to fight.
Blood-Splattered Warrior:
- Cú Chulainn was absolutely covered in blood after killing all those JUNGLE players and laughing.
- Cú Chulainn rips Daikaku apart with his bare hands so much that the Gold King can barely be identified.
Bloodier and Gorier: This is K with not only elements from the Nasuverse but also the gory and detailed descriptions of the high level of violence able to be found in those works.
Body Horror: Cú Chulainn can make spikes sprout from Gáe Bolg after stabbing someone with it, skewering them from the inside.
Burning with Anger: When Kiyohime got lied to she was wreathed in flames.
Chunky Salsa Rule: Okada kills Reisi's nephew and niece by crushing their skulls like a pair of grapes to make them stop screaming.
Cruel and Unusual Death: Most of the time when these people get killed they don't go out in a great way.
Curb-Stomp Battle: Servants are more powerful than even Kings, them and the five sorcerers considered the strongest living beings (Servants are technically dead), so a human, including the Clansmen of each Clan, would receive a severe ass-kicking if they fought a Servant, especially against a Knight Class.
- Great example: A pissed Cú Chulainn vs Daikaku. Take a guess as to who got their ass handed to them in a bloody manner.
Curse:
- Cú Chulainn is able to link his body to someone else by directly placing runes on them then activating the magecraft and making it so anything he does to himself happens to them.
- Gáe Bolg starts destroying the person it stabbed the heart of from the inside.
Cute and Psycho: Kiyohime will brutally kill you while wearing a cheerful smile the whole time.
Deadly Hug: Cú Chulainn hugs Mikoto after the King loses control...then stabs him through the heart.
Deflector Shields: The Kings can use their aura as a shield to ward off attacks.
Demonic Possession: After Jeanne uses Pax Exeutibus to exorcise Beast of Revelation out of the Greater Grail it unintentionally takes Cú Chulainn Alter as its new host since he's a demon it made, turning him into a false Beast VI.
The End of the World as We Know It: All Beasts have a Nega skill that affects those on humanity's layer. Nega-Messiah from Beast VI creates an expanding conceptual bounded field that eliminates all life except that Beast within. Using it to a global scale forces that layer to begin life anew.
Everyone Calls Him "Barkeep": All the Servants are referred to by their Class Name ^example
Fate Worse than Death: With what Kiyohime did to Adolf in chapter 4 he wishes he wasn't immortal.
Feather Motif:
- All the Command Seals have red feathers, miniature wings, or both.
- The Command Seal binding Cú Chulainn is cherubim, an angel with six wings. In his false Beast form he has six "wings" that glow like the sun.
Flower Motif: Rose for Cú Chulainn, Specifically it's thorns. When Gáe Bolg pierces someone, it can sprout countless thorns to destroy the person's body from the inside, why it's called the barbed spear for it's first Noble Phantasm version. Chapter 7's title, Thorns of Death, is due to this.
Friend or Foe?: Mikoto going at full power produces heat equivalent to an erupting volcano. Only sun demigods like Cú Chulainn won't be harmed by it.
God of Light: Lugh's the Celtic sun god and a War God.
Good Is Not Soft: Even if a Servant is nice, they're basically living weapons. As such, they can commit unspeakable acts without a shred of hesitation or remorse.
Hat of Power: One of Mordred's Noble Phantasms is her helmet, Secret of Pedigree. As long as it's on a Master can't see her stats.
Horned Humanoid: As a false Beast VI, Cú Chulainn's Beast Crown is ten maroon horns.
Hunter of Monsters: Cú Chulainn is an expert at hunting animals, and this shows itself in his skill Beast-Slayer. It makes his attacks on Magical Beasts or wild animals more effective.
Hyperspace Arsenal: The Servants can make their own weapons appear out of thin air.
In-Series Nickname: King of Warriors for Cú Chulainn.
It Gets Easier: Cú Chulainn was responsible for the deaths of millions during the course of a mere 20 years or so, most of these occurring during the seven years he fought in The Cattle Raid of Cooley. It's safe to say he's used to killing.
Jawbreaker:
- An order via Command Seal has to be issued verbally for it to work so severing the Master's jaw before they say the order prevents it. Mordred rips off Mikoto's to stop him from teleporting Cú Chulainn over.
- While fearfully retreating from Cú Chulainn, who went on a massacre against the JUNGLE players who attacked them, Anna almost trips on a jaw he ripped off.
Kung-Fu Wizard: Cú Chulainn's a master of hand-to-hand combat.
Layered World: Earth is split into three layers: humanity's at the top, Reverse Side of the World below that, and at the bottom is the planet itself.
Lightning Bruiser: Servants are able to move inhumanly fast, have enough power to easily qualify as a Person of Mass Destruction, and have heightened senses.
Living Lie Detector: Berserkers have the Class skill Mad Enhancement. Kiyohime's allows her to see if someone's lying to her. If the liar's her Master, she'll remove the Command Seal.
Made of Plasticine: Human bodies are much easier to break than a Servant's body and Servants are able to inflict massive wounds on other Servants...
Magic Enhancement: Mana can be used the reinforce the body.
Master Archer: Chiron almost shot someone's head off with an arrow traveling at Mach 24. At 8 km away. With the person he fired at being obscured in fog.
Mercy Kill: Mikoto loses control of his powers and is about to unintentionally cause a Damocles Down. To prevent this, Cú Chulainn kills Mikoto.
Multiple Endings: This work is a series of different outcomes, like those in Fate/stay night.
Muscles Are Meaningless: For Servants. Though many are pretty buff, their power is actually from mana.
Mystical White Hair: Cú Chulainn Alter's hair changes color from blue to a dirty white when Beast VI possesses him.
The Needless: A Servant's body operates differently than a human's. This includes not having as many bodily needs as humans.
No Body Left Behind: When a Servant dies, they break apart into mana.
No Ontological Inertia: A Servant with the skill Independent Manifestation can exist perpetually without something to anchor them to the world. This skill is a better version of Independent Action.
No Range Like Point-Blank Range: Tenkei decided the best way to put a bullet in Reisi's brain is to press the muzzle of his revolver against the Blue King's skull before pulling the trigger.
Normally, I Would Be Dead Now: The Battle Continuation skill allows a Servant to remain alive for a time even after having a fatal wound dealt, such as the loss of their spirit core. The rank determines how long they stay alive.
The Nose Knows: Cú Chulainn's has such a sharp sense of smell that he smelled that Anna's scared.
Not So Stoic: Harming Reisi's family causes him to want to murder you.
Off with His Head!:
- Mordred finishes Mikoto off by slicing off his head.
- Kiyohime rips Adolf's head off.
Only a Flesh Wound: Servants are able to take a ton of damage, enough to kill a human, and still be standing as long as their heart (spirit core) or brain aren't severely damaged.
Our Angels Are Different: The hierarchy for the Command Seals, aside from Jeanne's, is based off the Christian hierarchy angels follow. The more wings, the higher the rank.
Our Demons Are Different: There are daemons and demons. Daemons are the imaginary sixth element, are brought forth by humans and are thus sympathetic to their struggles, and True Daemons give rise to demons, a broad category that daemons fall into. Beast VI is classified as a True Daemon, making Cú Chulainn Alter a demon. Unlike with kitsune, daemonic possession is unintentional.
Our Dragons Are Different: Kiyohime's Samadhi Through Transforming Flames has her turn into a giant, fire-composed, fire-breathing eastern dragon.
Overdrawn at the Blood Bank: After stabbing himself, Cú Chulainn ends up losing more blood than a human can and still be alive.
Playing with Fire:
- Kiyohime uses fire magecraft with her fan.
- La Pucelle uses this element.
Power Limiter: Chiron's is the form he takes. If he's in a more human-like form it makes him weaker. He takes this form in order to conceal his True Name since he's basically the only centaur Heroic Spirit.
Power Tattoo: Command Seals look like red tattoos on the back of the right hand of the Masters. But they can be used to give their Servant an absolute order. As each is only made up of three strokes, a Command Seal can only be used three times.
Power of the Void: Using all 18 runes and being able to use magic instead of just magecraft allows Cú Chulainn (Beast) to imitate Lugh's star Authority and create a black hole.
Powers via Possession: Cú Chulainn being possessed by Beast VI gives him the skills it has including Nega-Messiah.
Precision F-Strike:
Reisi to Okada: Shut your fucking mouth!
Psychic Link: Masters and Servants are able to communicate telepathically with their partner, dream about the other's past, sense where the other is located, and sense if the other's dead or alive. This is due to them being linked mentally.
Reality Warper: Conceptual weapons or skills manipulate one of the world's natural laws.
Runic Magic: Cú Chulainn is capable of using magecraft through runes.
Semi-Divine: Cú Chulainn is a demigod, son of Lugh.
Sickening "Crunch!": When Okada crushes Reisi's neck it's audible.
Sociopathic Hero: While Cú Chulainn can be a Nice Guy he's killed millions of people, got the Celtic goddess of war and death's love, and is the incarnation of a war god. In battle, it can look like his personality did a complete 180.
Soul Eating: A Servant is capable of killing someone this way if they can't physically.
Stealth Expert: While Assassins can be poor when it comes to straight-up fights, they're the best at sneak attacks and information gathering due to their Presence Concealment Class skill making it impossible for even Servants to sense them nearby. And depending on how much information about an opponent they gather, it could give them a winning edge against that person in a fight.
Stronger Than They Look: A Servant should never be judged by its appearance. Even fan-wielding, cute, 14-year-old Kiyohime can be a better fighter than a King.
Suicide Attack: Jeanne's La Pucelle actually burns her own life for the attack, taken from the fact she was burned at the stake.
Super-Hearing: Cú Chulainn can hear someone's faint heartbeat. It has to be silent around him, though.
Super-Reflexes: Iskandar reacted fast enough to knock away an arrow fired at Mach 24.
Super-Speed: Cú Chulainn's able to breach the sound barrier in an instant.
Taking You with Me: Cú Chulainn links his body to Mordred's then stabs himself in the spirit core.
Tear Off Your Face: While pissed, Cú Chulainn tears off an Usagi's mask and their face.
Technicolor Fire: In her normal form, Kiyohime's fire is crimson. But they're azure while she's using her Noble Phantasm.
Throwing Your Sword Always Works: Okada throws his wakizashi (smaller katana) at Reisi's sister-in-law when she tries to hit him, impaling her through the neck and pinning her to the wall.
Undying Loyalty: Cú Chulainn really cares about his Master. If Mikoto's killed, Cú Chulainn will go on a warpath against the killer.
Well-Intentioned Extremist: Beast VI loves humans so much that it'll wipe them out in order to save them.
World's Best Warrior: There are actually three. Saber, Lancer, and Archer, collectively called the Three Knight Classes, are supposedly the strongest Servants in a straight fight during a Grail War.
Would Hurt a Child: Yukari has no issue with killing Anna.
