Nightmare Fuel / Ultimate One Type Taylor

Go To

It's a crossover between Worm and the Nasuverse, centering around ORT arriving on Earth. You bet there's going to be Nightmare Fuel in spades.

As a Moments subpage, all spoilers are unmarked as per policy. You Have Been Warned.


  • For starters, it bears repeating, ORT has arrived on Earth, only this time, there are none of the mitigating factors surrounding it in Fate/stay night and Fate/Grand Order. It is fully awake and aware like it was in Nahui Micatlan, and it still has it's heart, meaning it's operating at full power. Considering that Chaldea was only just barely able to defeat it with the aid of multiple gods, Beast VII, and Kukulkan, along with having access to Excalibur, while it was operating without it's actual heart, suffice it to say, there's pretty much nothing on Earth Bet that remotely poses a threat to it, with the exception of Scion.
  • The Prologue scene featuring ORT's arrival on Earth. It starts off innocently enough, with Taylor being out at a summer camp with Emma, who's currently still her best friend, simply stargazing and waiting to see a meteor shower. Then as the meteor shower starts, another meteor appears, larger than the others. It grows, leading both girls to look at it before it hits, cue Smash to Black. The aftermath is no less terrifying, with the camp up in flames, and ORT already going to work spreading it's Crystal Valley.
  • Which leads into the central premise,Taylor being infected. While Emma's able to pull Taylor away, by the time she does, it's already consumed both her feet through her shoes, with a lovely description of Taylor's blood being sucked in and absorbed by ORT.
  • The entire event from Danny's point of view. Your still currently beset with grief from your wife's death, leading to a strained relationship with your daughter. She goes out on a nice little trip with her best friend to go stargazing, only for an Eldritch Abomination to fall from space directly where she's at, nearly killing her then and there, and when she does finally escape, she's been infected with what's effectively a terminal illness.
  • Which brings us to what happens to those infected by ORT. From any point where they've been infected, their flesh is consumed and replaced with the crystal, while the rate at which it does so varies from person to person, the end result is still the same. As the infection progresses through the central nervous system, their body become increasingly stiff, until it reaches the brain, at which point they become completely paralyzed, before being consumed entirely and left a hunk of crystal. As horrifying as that is, that's not the worst part. No, the worst part is, as Gallant finds out during a PR event, is that those who are completely crystalized are still fully conscious and aware, meaning they're left as prisoners in their own body forever unless destroyed. It gets even worse when you consider that if Gallant hadn't arrived and realized this, instead of being granted a Mercy Kill, many of them would be buried and those who were already buried would've been left that way, leaving them trapped underground forever. Also counts as In-Universe Nightmare Fuel as even months later, Gallant still has frequent nightmares imagining himself trapped in a cold, crystal body, constantly screaming but making no sound.
  • ORT vs Abaddon is a combination of Crowning Moment Of Awesome and this, as while it's every bit as spectacular as you'd expect a fight between two Reality Warping, Planet Eater, Eldritch Abominations to be, it also serves as a terrifying reminder as just how utterly outclassed humanity is by these beings, as they repeatedly hammer each other with attacks that would completely obliterate any other opponent a thousand times over. What's even scarier is that ORT is shown to very much outclass Abaddon, as once it decides to exercise the full breadth of it's power, it's able to quickly overpower Abaddon and would have completely devoured it if the Entity hadn't broken free at the last minute and promptly ran away as fast as possible. Considering how unstoppable the Entities were in canon, it very much confirms that there's nothing the humans of Earth Bet can do to stop ORT in the event it decides to lay it's sights on them.
