"Oh my god... it actually worked!"
Cipher stared at the monitor, his jaw hanging open.
In front of him, the city of Fuyuki was disappearing. Not into thin air, but under a wall of churning, foaming seawater.
The Supreme Magic Furnace hummed with the power of a contained star. The Trident of Poseidon, jammed into its core, pulsed with divine authority.
Millions of gallons of water erupted from the harbor every second. It was an artificial deluge, a biblical flood summoned by a man sitting in an internet café.
"As expected of my Master!" Francis Drake laughed, slapping Cipher on the back so hard he nearly fell into the water. "You crazy bastard! I love it!"
She leaped onto the prow of her ship, the Golden Hind, which was now floating above what used to be the warehouse district.
"Anchor's aweigh!" Drake roared, pointing her flintlock pistols at the drowning city. "Set sail! The world is our ocean now!"
The massive galleon lurched forward, riding the crest of the flood. Cannons roared, not firing balls, but sheer exuberance.
[Chat]:[Art]: THIS IS ART!
[Kneel]: I am kneeling. Cipher is a genius.
[Gambler]: I won! I bet on the tech guy!
[Salty]: What did you win? Virtual points?
[Pirate_Dream]: "Set Sail!" That line was so cool! I want to be a pirate now!
[Da_Lei]: If I could sail with Drake, I wouldn't mind drowning in her... assets.
[Bonk]: Go to horny jail.
As the water rose, swallowing cars and streetlights, Cipher's follower count exploded.
[Followers: 120,000 -> 400,000]
The executives at StreamZone were sweating. This wasn't bot traffic. This was organic, viral growth. A no-name streamer was pulling numbers that rivaled the top dogs.
"Get him on the phone!" the CEO shouted. "Sign him to an exclusive contract! Before Twitch gets him!"
But Cipher was busy. He was steering a pirate ship through a flooded metropolis.
Meanwhile, at the ruins of the bathhouse...
The sudden tsunami had an unintended side effect: It interrupted the Concert from Hell.
Just as Nero and Elizabeth were preparing for the second verse of their sonic assault, a wall of water smashed into the building.
"GLUB!" Maverick choked, tumbling through the washing machine of debris and foam.
"Help!" Daisy Daisy shrieked, losing her grip on her submachine gun. "I can't swim!"
They were washed away, tumbling through the flooded streets. Maverick felt like he had been hit by a truck. He swallowed a mouthful of salty water that tasted like soap and despair.
I'm going to die, Maverick thought. I'm going to drown in a bathhouse simulator.
But then, a shadow fell over them.
A massive, gothic castle erupted from the ground, parting the waters like the Red Sea. It wasn't just a building; it was a fortress of iron and blood.
[NOBLE PHANTASM: BÁTHORY ERZSÉBET (Fresh Blood Demoness)]
"Hmph!" Elizabeth huffed, standing on the ramparts of her newly summoned castle. "Although I don't know who dared to splash me... interrupting my concert is unforgivable!"
She pointed her microphone-spear at the flood.
"Descend, my castle! My lifelong stage! Protect my piggies!"
The castle walls rose higher, blocking the water. The courtyard remained dry, a safe haven in the middle of the ocean.
Daisy and Maverick were washed onto the cobblestones, coughing and sputtering.
"Alive..." Daisy gasped. "I'm alive."
"My dear friend!" Nero called out, leaping onto the castle wall with impossible grace. She was still wrapped in her bath towel, looking like a drowned rat but retaining her imperial dignity. "I shall protect your Master too! Even if my Master drowns, yours shall be safe!"
"Hey!" Maverick yelled, coughing up water. "I'm right here! Don't let me drown!"
"Oh," Nero looked down. "Master! You survived! Excellent! You have the vitality of a cockroach!"
"Thanks," Maverick muttered.
Nero turned back to Elizabeth. The two "idols" looked at each other. Instead of fighting, they seemed to have bonded over their shared hatred of the water interrupting their song.
"My castle has excellent acoustics," Elizabeth preened. "The screams echo perfectly."
"Umu!" Nero nodded. "It is a splendid venue! Why don't we hold a joint concert here? A duet to celebrate our survival!"
"A concert!" Elizabeth's eyes sparkled. "Yes! And my little piggy can have the front row seat!"
She pointed at Daisy.
Daisy paled. "No... please... anything but the singing."
Maverick looked at Nero. "Saber... maybe we should focus on the enemy?"
"Nonsense!" Nero declared. "Music first! Battle later!"
Maverick felt a cold dread. He couldn't use a Command Spell to stop them. He had seen the clips. Using a Command Spell to force a Servant against their nature usually resulted in the Servant killing the Master out of spite. Especially with Berserkers or ego-maniacs like Gilgamesh.
Or Nero.
"We're trapped," Maverick whispered to Daisy. "Trapped in a castle with two tone-deaf sirens."
[Chat]:[Hell]: WHAT KIND OF TORTURE IS THIS?
[Savior]: Come on, Water Boy! Cipher! Save us from the concert!
[Fear]: "Joint Concert." Those words terrify me more than any monster.
[Simp]: But look! They're both in towels! It's a towel party!
[Blind]: I don't care! I'm blind and deaf!
[Confusion]: Why does Elizabeth have dragon parts? Horns? Tail?
[Lore]: Innocent Monster skill. Because of her legend as a vampire/dragon, her body mutated. She's technically a dragon-girl idol.
[Review]: 0/10 Singing. 10/10 Visuals.
High above the castle, the Golden Hind sailed into view.
Cipher stood on the deck, looking down at the gothic fortress rising from the water.
"A castle?" Cipher adjusted his glasses. "In the middle of my ocean? How rude."
Drake laughed, spinning the ship's wheel. "Looks like a target to me, Master! Shall we knock? With cannons?"
"Please do," Cipher said. "Fire at will."
"FIRE!"
The side of the ship erupted in smoke and flame. A broadside of magical cannonballs screamed toward the castle.
Down in the courtyard, Elizabeth's ears perked up.
"Interruption again?!" she shrieked. "RUDE!"
She spun her spear.
"SUBWOOFER SHIELD!"
