The Endless Nine

“Ooooh! Now this is just the kind of atmosphere this city needs! Who’s up for a game of beach volleyball?! I’ll have you know, I have a wicked spike!” 

“Hahahaha! This is the best! It’s like watching a play for free!” 

Those gleeful words betrayed the horrific scene that was taking place. By now, Battler’s army of goats had grown to catastrophic proportions. They were uncountable and spreading throughout the sectors. There were those who fought valiantly to dispose of them. Connor, for example. Oh yes, he recognized Connor. If only barely. And then there was Mercer. He also knew of Mercer in his world, though Battler hardly ever bothered with him. Not worth the attention, unlike Lucina and Darius. Now those two were fun to watch. 

It was all about entertainment in the end. Battler loved to be entertained. And nothing amused him more than seeing other suffer. To engage in futile fights that they were destined to lose. For no matter how many of his goat butlers fell, more were created in their place. His magic was infinite, as his title made abundantly clear. And with the bombs inside of them set to detonate upon his command, well.. Very little could be done to stop the carnage. Each explosion that went off made him giggle in excitement. Like watching a fireworks display. If only Beato could have been here to watch it with him. Or rather, he’d fave forced her to watch. 

One could call it all cowardice. After all, Battler wasn’t on the front lines. He was situated atop a large building within sector one, letting his goats do all the damage for him. He didn’t fashion himself a fighter. Too much effort, even with all his power. Watching suited him best. But it was starting to get a bit dull with how easily he was winning.

“Come on, there have to be more heroes! This place seems to be full of them! Isn’t there going to be anyone else joining the fray? If not, I could just set all the goats to explode simultaneously! Ooooh, that’d be pretty fun to watch! Hihihihi~”

“What the hell.. What the hell is going on?!”

Welcome 2 Umineko

It was amusing to watch them all struggle. Hurting, injuring, killing.. Dying. Especially the dying. Even those who wanted peace were being trampled on. And it was the absolute BEST! Well, by normal human standards anyway. But during his time as the Endless Sorcerer, Battler had acquired more.. ‘refined’ tastes. Tastes honed after an eternity of torturing his pieces across various games. He’d become a connoisseur of despair, one could say. But this time, pain wasn’t enough.

He wanted pain and hilarity. Though it took him some time, he’d finally arrived in the other Hive City. Though the people here likely considered him to be the ‘Other’. Well, technicalities aside, he was ready to slaughter. But by his own hands? Where was the fun in that? He was a spectator, not a fighter. Was it more fun to play a baseball game than to watch it? Of course not! That involved effort! So Battler did not walk onto the front lines. Sitting atop one of the higher buildings in sector one, Battler prepared to unleash what was likely the greatest murderous joke of them all. 

A hoard of muscular men were created by the sorcerer, all who’s heads resembled that of goats. These were the trademark Goat servants that normally served all witches and sorcerers. But these were no ordinary goat butlers, oh no. Inside each of their stomachs.. Were small bombs. Yes, small bombs. Microscopic bombs, powerful enough to destroy a large car upon detonation. These bomber goats were created by the dozen and ran throughout the sector and even beyond to others. Their purpose? To detonate and kill any in their path. Who it was didn’t matter. He watched as both residents of this world’s Hive and even those of his own he was supposed to aid were killed. This made it all to clear. 

He didn’t care about the outcome of this war. He was just a sick man looking to amuse himself.

“Hihihi! Look at them all dancing around like headless chickens! And then.. BOOM! This is the best kind of game!”

Ayyy hello friends. Basically there is a giant army of bomber goat men running around. Hive city. They do not make distinctions between regular and alt versions, seeing as Battler sees no one here as his ally.

You’re free to engage the goats and stop them before they can cause too much damage to the sectors. If you kill them they will die without detonating the bombs inside of them. Even alt versions can fight against them. This could make for something that could create strange alliances.

The Goats will all disappear once Battler is forced to flee. How will that be done? Well, stay tuned for the Fairy Tail vs Alt!Battler thread to find out!
