Prologue

Location: ?

The sound of metal against metal filled the otherwise silent and still air. The area around them was completely turned to rubble and smoke rose from small fires that had been created through the battle. The ground had craters in it due the pressure of two fighting figures and was crumbling with many cracks running through the once solid concrete.

The two figures continued to clash, the clang of their swords sending shockwaves through the air that would ruin even more buildings and shatter windows but neither individual gave in from their dual.

One was clad in an aura of white and silver, her Armour and dress mimicking the colour of her energy. Her white-blonde hair seemed to flow in he energy as her silver eyes stayed on the opponent in front of her.

Her opponent in turn was the exact opposite of her. He had pale skin and his short pale golden hair barely brushed against his brow. Now, none of that would be too strange if not for the fact that his skin seemed too pale and there were red veins or cracks going up his neck and over his jaw, partially creeping their way up his cheeks and his eyes were a dull pale yellow with no almost no emotion in them at all. He was also clad in black Armour with red accents.

"This is pointless." He said to the female, his fingers adjusting on his sword. A sword that used to be golden and gleam with light, but now was as black and corrupted as the male had become. "You know that whatever you do, you cannot change what has happened. You cannot make up for the mistake you caused. There is no saving anyone."

The female rose her own sword. A sword that seemed to be made out of clear glass, light and the stars themselves. The sword would have appeared transparent if not for the light outline of the blade and the white light that skimmed over its surface. "It's true that what has happened to you is my fault. That's why I cannot just leave things as they are." She smiled lightly, "Besides, unless, I try, I won't know if I can save you are not."

"You'd save someone as pathetic as my previous self?" The Male asked, raising a brow, his voice even and unemotional. "Why?"

"Because I've let him down already once. I can't allow it to happen a second time." The female said, she powered up as much as possible and charged at the male again, gritting her teeth as he easily blocked each of her strikes. "If I can't save him... then I've lost everything." She added mana to her next strike, surprising him enough that she was able to leave a shallow cut across his left cheek.

The female looked at the Male again and her chest tightened; she never had such a cold look directed at her. Not even by her Sister and most certainly, not him. She felt as if she might break at any moment.

She rose her sword again, but didn't charge, instead, she gathered all of the pure energy, and light into her sword, concentrating hard on the very essence of what brought happiness, hope, love, loyalty, joy, everything that made humans what they were into the world and her sword truly began to take form as it begame a single mass of pure energy.

The Male scoffed as he began to collect dark, corrupted energy into his own sword to counter her. "There's no hope left for this world. There never was any to begin with. Hope is a foolish notion that humanity cannot give up and that's why it'll be humanity's downfall."

The Female glared at him, her sword powered to the max with all the pure energy of the world. "You're wrong and deep down, you realize how corrupted you've become." She tightened her grip on her divine sword, energy swirling around it as she rose it up, level to her face. She only had one shot at this; if she missed her target, then everything she was trying to save would be lost.

"Or I've finally found the light." He smiled as he rose his own sword. He lunged at her, adding extra mana into his leap in what would be their last exchange.

The Female scoffed before leaping herself with a burst of mana to meet him head on, the pure mana roaring to life. "Caelestrís Aürea, Elysíon!" The words had barley left her lips when a burning pain ripped through her body and white light exploded all around her and the Male she was fighting. If it's by his hand... she thought as whiteness filled her vision, then I don't mind dying...

Time: 10 Years Ago

Sajyou Ayaka tried to calm herself down as she tried to wiggle free of unseen restrains and open her eyes which seemed glued shut. Where was she? Where was her Father and Sister? Why did the air hold so much corruption? It was as if evil was manifesting itself all around her.

Finally, Ayaka was able to blearily blink open her blue eyes and found herself taking in a scene of utmost horror. Bright crimson red blood covered the floor around her and she could see bodies torn apart, the stench of their quickly rotting corpses made her want to puke or cry. It didn't help that screams of agony were echoing all around her. Where was her Father? Her Sister?

Quickly looking around, Ayaka saw a brilliant, glowing cup on a dais and knew exactly what it was... The Holy Grail... the object her Father and Sister had struggled so hard to gain... but something was wrong, the Grail was leaking a dark, foreboding mud that reached out with shadow-like tentacles and was getting closer to her by the minute. Ayaka might not know what it was, but she knew if it touched, her then it would snuff out the life she had.

"Father!" Ayaka cried out, tears starting to drip down her cheeks as she looked around wildly, only to stop short when she saw something lying a few feet away from her. It was a pile of blood and gore spread out, fresh blood still pulling around it... but there was no mistaking the shredded clothes or the ripped remains of his face. "FATHER!" Ayaka screamed, her blue eyes wide as the tears fell faster and faster. Her body went numb the longer she screamed. It couldn't be... it couldn't be. Her Father couldn't be dead! He was supposed to save her! Was she next?

"Hush, now." A gentle, angelic voice said, Ayaka would know that voice anywhere. As much as possible, Ayaka craned her neck up to see a beautiful petite girl with pale gold hair and blue eyes. It was an Angel come to save her. "Hush, now. Everything will be okay. Everything will be over soon." She said again.

Ayaka just stared up at her older Sister Manaka. Of course everything would be okay. Manaka was a genius, and untouched by the blood and gore happening around them. If anyone could save them, it would be Manaka.

Ayaka leaned up eagerly as Manaka reached down for her, there was nothing Ayaka wanted more than to be in her Sister's embrace. Soon, she would be sa-

Ayaka screamed as blood suddenly splattered on her face. She stared up in absolute horror. A glowing sword was protruding straight through Manaka's chest, quickly drenching her once pristine blue dress in her own blood.

The last thing Ayaka saw was the surprised look on her Sister's face before she turned and spoke to the person who had impaled her. Her voice fading out as Ayaka's vision became bleary before completely fading to black.

Location: ?

Time: 10 Years Ago

A boy blinked up at the black sky with near unseeing eyes as the world around him went up in flames. There were dead bodies all around him and the buildings were burning bright, translucent orange, filling the sky with black smoke and there was nothing he could do but just lay there and wait for death to come for him. No one was left to save him. He knew that.

It was becoming harder to breath and he knew he was coming to his end. His life was already leaving his body and that's when he heard it, a desperate shout and sudden footsteps hurrying towards him.

Turning his head with the strength he had left, the boy saw a man with black hair and eyes fall to his knees before him, tears rolling down the rough features of his face. The boy wondered why the man was crying, but the most particular thing was that he had a small unconscious girl in his arms.

The Boy blinked as the man gently reached out, grabbing his smaller hand in his own as he started to speak. The Boy didn't know what the man was saying, but all of a sudden, there was a golden, glowing light that emitted from the Man's chest. A golden ball of light, it lowered itself until it was hovering over the Boy's chest. The Man said one more thing and before the Boy knew it, the golden light went into him, filling him completely with warmth and making him feel safe.

The Boy closed his eyes, cherishing the warmth as much as he could and before he knew it, he was drifting off into a restful slumber. He stayed asleep as he was being carried away by the Man with the Girl to a safe place.

Location: Chaldea

Time: Present Day

"See?" A young woman pointed at the monitor as a large red dot blinked in and out of existence. "This is a sign that worlds have merged together. It's a singularity Roman."

A man in his late twenties or early thirties sighed as he looked at the blip. The very existence of humanity was at stake; they did not need the extra trouble that this would bring. "How did they merge and why now? Was it recent Ariene?"

"I don't know how they merged." The woman, Ariene sighed, "But from what the readings show, it's been like that for ten years."

"Ten years?!" Roman demanding, green eyes wide as he ran his hand through his orange hair. "How did Chaldea not notice that?!"

Ariene rose her eyes back up to the new Singularity that popped up before looking at the other Singularities that had been there from the beginning. They had just finished the Okeanos Singularity and the one at Londinium was supposed to be next.

They had been resting though, Okeanos had taken a lot out of their Servants and if a new Master hadn't been chosen, the two current ones would have gotten out of Okeanos more beaten and scratched up.

"Could someone have hidden it from us?" A woman with a wavy brown hair and big blue eyes leaned forward. Appearing more curious than worried as she continued to tap her staff into the ground. She was Leonardo da Vinci, the greatest inventor of her time. Well, according to her.

Ariene shook her head, "I have a theory. Look at where the Singularity is and the date. Fuyuki City, 2004. That's when Singularity F happened right?"

"Yes." Ariene turned to look at the Master's at the Male voice, now there were three of them instead of two. "Fuyuki was the beginning but we beat it already."

The First Master was her own Partner, Cleo Everett. She had light olive toned skin, dark coffee brown hair that fell in loose curls down her back and large sea green eyes. She was technically the longest Master, having had Command Seals and her own Servant for four years; though since there was no need for such a thing in Chaldea at the time, she just helped the staff. She wore her own variation of the Master's uniform, instead of being black and white, hers was charcoal gray and black. Her leading style dealt more with her instinct and emotions, though she would plan things out every once in a while. Though, she did have a slight temper and acted a bit brashly.

The next Master was Fujimaru Kakeru, the last remaining Master of the Chaldean Master candidates and formally known as the forty-eighth Master. He had spiky midnight black hair, lightly tanned skin and expressive bright blue eyes and as usual, he wore the standard white jacket and black slacks of a Master. He was the most strategic of all the Masters, always using his head and never acting without thinking. A tactician through and through.

The third and newest Master was Kakeru's best friend, Tanaka Isolde. She had creamy fair skin with spiky burnt orange hair that went down a bit pass her shoulders and one ponytail at the side and large, amber eyes. This new Master was definitely the most expressive and energetic of the group. She barely followed the plans and acted more with her heart and emotions than her head. It was a trait that worried the other Masters since they worried about how she'd act while being in a Singularity from the very beginning instead of the end.

"Yes." Ariene agreed, "We beat Singularity F, but that doesn't mean that a Man or Woman with the power and ability can't cause trouble there again. My guess is that whoever did this, merged the two worlds together outside of this world, meaning Chaldea would never have seen it since while the two worlds were merging, it was out of Chaldea's scope.

"And what?" da Vinci asked, "When the Singularity was ready, just plopped it into this world?"

Ariene smiled, "Actually yes. You may not know this, but while manipulating the space between worlds and even using a form of time magic may be extremely difficult and near impossible, if you do know exactly what you're doing, then a situation like this is extremely easy to pull off." She paused, looking at the rest of the group. "Whoever did this is extremely powerful and skilled in magecraft. Even more, he or she probably has status near a Gods or Goddesses. He also probably didn't have to wait ten years, he just set his plan into motion ten years in the past before transporting himself to the present of 2004."

"Well that's just great!" Roman smacked his face into the counsel in front of him. "What are we supposed to do now?! We still have Londinium!"

"If I may say, Roman." Kakeru spoke up seriously, his blue eyes on the new Singularity before going to the Londinium one. "I think the best course of action is splitting up. We have three Masters after all. Send Cleo and Issie to Londinium, I'll take this new one."

Roman blinked and looked at Kakeru in disbelief. This seemed like a high risk plan for someone who hated risk in fear of his friends getting hurt. But if he thought about it, it did make sense; Kakeru would never let the girls go into a previously unknown and new Singularity, especially one like this.

"It's a good plan." Ariene agreed, "But I think Cleo and I should go to the Singularity in Fuyuki instead. She held up her hand when Kakeru looked like he was about to protest. "Going to different worlds, is my job after all. That's never changed even if Chaldea had become my rest zone if I had nowhere to go."

"True." da Vinci tapped her finger against her lips. "Ariene has the most experience with differing worlds. I think Ariene and Cleo should go."

"Besides," Cleo spoke up, moving to stand next to Ariene so she could face Kakeru. The hesitation was clear on his face. "It's Issie's first full Singularity, I think she'd have an easier time learning from you."

"I think I'd learn a lot from you too." Issie reassured her, "But I would love to go with Kakeru!"

Kakeru looked at everyone in the room, eyes lingering on Roman for help, but the Doctor just shook his head and sighed. Figures, there was no way he would go against his niece; Kakeru had actually seen Cleo full on smack during one of his melt-downs. Even if it wasn't clear to see, between Cleo and da Vinci, Roman was truly a whipped man.

"Fine." Kakeru finally sighed, he could see Ariene's point as well and it was clear he was outnumbered. "Ariene and Cleo will go to Fuyuki and I'll go to Londinium with Issie."

Roman nodded, "I think that's the best way. We'll leyshift you in a few hours. In the mean time rest up and inform the Servants you want to bring."

All the Masters nodded, and Kakeru and Issie left the room, talking animatedly. "What is it Ariene?" Roman asked, the female Servant hadn't looked away from the Singularity.

"Nothing. I'm just trying to figure out how Fuyuki will look this time around." She shook her head, a light smile forming on her face, "The one time I want Eirelyn and Olliviere to just say something, and their silent."

Cleo laughed back as she began to leave the room with her Servant. "The last time Olliviere did that, you punched him."

"I just might again. For something like this, they should have been able to tell me." There was a light note of concern in her voice. "I just hope this isn't a bad omen of some kind." Even as she said that, she knew it was. Something horrible was going to happen in Fuyuki.

Wise Up!
