Cú Chulainn - Prototype
To the Nameless Battlefield
Proto Cú:
–Hi.
Proto Cú:
Rise and shine.
Say, how was your sleep?
Fujimaru 1:
Where are we?
Fujimaru 2:
Wait, where's Mash?
Proto Cú:
Let's see, this is a place in the middle of nowhere.
Oh, the Missy isn't here.
Proto Cú:
Just you and me.
My bad, for forcing you into this.
Proto Cú:
The Doctor's voice doesn't reach here.
That little creature isn't here, either.
Proto Cú:
Why?
Well, that's simple.
Proto Cú:
This is–
Fujimaru 1:
In a dream?
Fujimaru 2:
In my consciousness?
Proto Cú:
You can call it a dream, or perhaps somewhere deeper than consciousness and unconsciousness?
Proto Cú:
I'm not clear on the details, it occasionally happens to Servants and Masters.
Proto Cú:
A shared dream.
Put it simply, we can see each other's memories–
Proto Cú:
That's why we can both exist here like this, even though it's "my dream."
Proto Cú:
That's right. This is my dream.
My memories. My battlefield.
Proto Cú:
It looks like the one you saw before?
Yeah, I suppose it does from your point of view.
Proto Cú:
It's linked to the most similar sight you've seen recently, I think.
Proto Cú:
Look, here they come.
To me, they look like the armies of Connacht–
Proto Cú:
But who knows what they look like to you.
Hey, snap out of it, it's gonna be a fight.
Proto Cú:
Try to keep up with your commands!
If you can summon other Heroic Spirits, then do it!
Proto Cú:
–Let's go!
--BATTLE--:
Proto Cú:
Hahaha!
Yes, that's the way!
Proto Cú:
Mow down that horde of enemies! Stab them,
slash them, hack them, there's no end to them!
Proto Cú:
Just like the incoming waves.
An endless battle on an endless battlefield!
Proto Cú:
Sure brought up some nice memories, didn't it?
Hahaha!
Proto Cú:
Come on, Master! If we lose, we die.
Well, not that I'm sure about that–
Proto Cú:
But fight like it is!
Now then, more are coming!
--BATTLE--:
Proto Cú:
...I guess this is it?
Proto Cú:
Just as I'm getting into it, it's over.
Hardly worth the effort.
Proto Cú:
How about you?
Still ready for more?
Fujimaru 1:
I'm a little tired.
Proto Cú:
Haha!
You're honest!
Fujimaru 2:
I can keep going.
Proto Cú:
Sure you're not overdoing it?
Well, not that I can help you.
Proto Cú:
Oh–
Proto Cú:
Well well, this is a good dream!
So saving the best one for last, huh?
Proto Cú:
Besides, talk about being unfair. That one over there is using "the spear of the real me" from the start.
Cú Chulainn?:
That's unfortunate.
Why are you fighting with a hastily-made spear?
Proto Cú:
I got my reasons.
I guess it reminds me of my last summon.
Cú Chulainn?:
The answer's obvious, but I'll ask anyway.
You want me to go easy on you?
Proto Cú:
You've got to be kidding.
Cú Chulainn?:
Ah, just as I'd hoped.
Impressive, Cú Chulainn, hero of Ulster.
Proto Cú:
What are you talking about?
Well, Mr. "Cú Chulainn" of Ulster?
Fujimaru 1:
Huh?
Fujimaru 2:
Two Cú Chulainn?
Proto Cú:
Well, I guess it's possible. Meeting yourself in a dream. You get that, don't you?
Cú Chulainn?:
Nice, that's really a good way to put it.
Well, shall we do this–
Proto Cú:
Sure!
Let's go, Master!
--BATTLE--:
Proto Cú:
...So it's a draw.
Cú Chulainn?:
With our Noble Phantasms, it's a miracle we didn't both bite the dust.
Cú Chulainn?:
I'm impressed.
My younger self is quite a tough guy.
Proto Cú:
My older self isn't too bad either.
I'll finish you off next time.
Cú Chulainn?:
What?
That's my line.
Fujimaru 1:
So uh, what's going on?
Fujimaru 2:
What do you mean?
Proto Cú:
Uh...
Well, basically, you see.
Proto Cú:
My skills have improved within the dream.
When you wake up, I'm sure it will be of use.
Proto Cú:
See you, Master.
Thanks for the company–
