Chapter 1
In other news it's been sixty years since the destruction of Fuyuki City in Japan. Government officials are saying due to unforeseen circumstances the rebuilding of the city was placed on hold for several years.
"You would think that the Japanese would have already rebuilt that city." My twin brother, Nero, looked at me.
"True but Japan's geographical standing makes it susceptible to earthquakes." I told him.
"Smartass." He looked back to the TV.
"Dumbass." I simply said and ate my cereal.
"You're both asses." Our older brother, Gideon, came into the kitchen. "Turn off the TV and go to school already."
"It's later start." I simply said.
"Dad went to work already?" Nero looked at Gideon.
"Ya. He left at five." Gideon got some coffee.
"How come we don't see him anymore?" Nero looked away. "I mean, he hasn't said a word to me or Z in three years."
"Dad is too busy for us. How else is he gonna keep buying you video games." I told Nero. "I'm going to school." I stood up and placed my bowl in the sink.
"But I thought you said it was late start?" Gideon asked.
"I remembered I have karate practice." I said as I got my pack and left the house. It's been four years since mom died and dad pinned the blame on Nero and me. Well, if we hadn't walked onto the street on our own, mom would still be alive.
"Hey Z!" I heard a familiar voice beside me. I look over to see Nero's friend, Levi Cross, walking beside me.
"What do you want Levi?" I continued my walk to school.
"You do realize it's a late start day don't ya?" Levi kept up with me.
"I have karate practice." I simply said.
"Hey show me the round house kick." Levi smirked.
"No." I said.
"Come Z! You never show me nor Nero what you have learned in karate." Levi pouted.
"I don't need to show anyone anything." I said as I turned into the school. I headed for the back of the school where the dojo was. I go to the changing room and dressed into my gi. The dojo was empty. I got my bamboo kendo sword and worked on my stand and strike.
"Hai!... Hai!... Hai!..." I said I swung down.
"You're here awfully early Z." Sempai Kaname walked into the dojo.
"I'm practicing on my stance Sempai." I looked at him and continued.
"I don't see why." Sempai sat down. "You already mastered it."
"There is always room for improvement." I stopped.

"You're not going to school today Levi." Levi's dad told him.
"Why not?" Levi asked.
"You know why. If you don't start to get serious about the Holy Grail war, our chance to obtain it disappears." Levi's dad scolded him.
"Why don't you do it? You know I hate magic!" Levi lashed out.
"You are a fifth generation Cross. Know your place our we will disown you." Levi's dad storm out of his bedroom.
"What's his problem?!" Levi threw the TV remote. He climbed out his window to see a familiar purple haired girl walking toward school. He caught up and walked beside her.
"Hey Z!" Levi smiled. She glanced over at him and continued to walk.
"What do you want Levi?" She said without interest.
"You do realize it's a late start day don't ya?" Levi kept up with her.
"I have karate practice." She simply said.
"Hey show me the round house kick." Levi smirked.
"No." Z said.
"Come Z! You never show me nor Nero what you have learned in karate." Levi pouted.
"I don't need to show anyone anything." She said as she turned into the school.
"I guess I'll go get Nero then." Levi shrugged his shoulders and headed toward Nero's house.
"Hey Nero!" Levi smiled at him.
"Oh! Hey Levi." Nero smiled and closed the door behind him.
"Just ran into Z earlier." Levi began to walk with Nero. His eyes were exactly the same as Z. Purple with a strange silver lining around the pupil.
"Ya. She got upset that I started talking about dad." Nero sighed.
"Hey do you guys want my dad? I will gladly give him to you guys." Levi joked.
"Nah. Your dad is cool and all but he seems a little to strict for Z and I. No offense." Nero smiled.
"None taken." Levi smiled as they turn into the school. Levi noticed Z walking toward the school entrance.
"Z!" Nero called out to her. She stopped and looked over at them.
"Hey." She simply said.
"How was karate training?" Levi asked her as Nero and him got closer to where Z stopped.
"Okay." Z said and began walking into the school.

"The war for the Holly Grail begins." Kaname Kuran, a karate instructor for Academy High turns of his TV. "This will be the year the Kuran family obtains the Holy Grail. Preparations shall be made to obtain the saber class servant." He dressed in suit and tie and left for the school. He made his way to the dojo to see his top student Z Enro training with the kendo sword.
"You're here awfully early Z." Kaname walked into the dojo.
"I'm practicing on my stance Sempai." Z looked at him and continued.
"I don't see why." Kaname sat down. "You already mastered it."
"There is always room for improvement." Z stopped.
"You should consider on participating in the tournaments." Kaname smiled.
"No." She shook her head. "I really hate violence. Ironic though isn't it."
"How?" Kaname already knew the answer to this but still asked the question.
"I hate violence and here I am. Your top student. Ironic huh?" She put the kendo sword away. "I'll consider the tournament but it's most likely a no." She said and left the dojo.
"She has so much potential but doesn't acknowledge it." Kaname shook his head. "She could pose for a good catalyst for summoning saber." Kaname's thoughts went dark.

"Hmm..." A man sitting at a computer desk peered at the tv.
"Hey Artarius, those reports aren't going to type themselves." Artarius's boss walks past his desk.
"Right away Mr. Campbell." He continues typing up the company reports. "Most Mage families have had two generations added to their bloodline. It shouldn't be hard for one from the eighth generation to compete." Artarius thought to himself. "After all now and days mages are in their teens."
"Hey Artarius lets go for a coffee break." A coworker passed by his desk.
"Sure thing Fujimoto." Artarius stops what he's doing and goes to the break room.

"Grandpa, what class should I go for?" A girl with blonde hair smiled at her grandfather.
"Saber is the class to get but archer and rider can be quite formidable partners." Her grandfather rubbed his chin.
"So everyone will try to get saber huh?" She began to think. "I'll try to go for the archer class then."
"Let's start preparing for the Holy Grail war then. I can help as much as I can. After all I am the overseer of this war." Her grandfather nodded. "Listen closely Iris, this is what you'll need." Her grandfather begins to write down instructions and ingredients.

"Rider should be the best and easiest class to get. Training under my mother should prove useful than any other master and servant pair." A boy with white hair studied and old family spell book. He peered at all his ingredients. "Any day now I'll be able to activate the magic circle. I must win at any cost."
"Allen come eat breakfast our it'll get cold!" His mother called out to him from the basement door way.
"Coming!" Allen stops what he's doing and turns off the tv. He runs up the basement steps and sits at the kitchen.
"Studying hard?" His mother asks as she gives him his plate.
"Yes. I have decided to go with rider class servant." He smiled at his mother.
"Good. It's best to be prepared for anything." His mother smiled.

"Now and days that all they talk about." A boy with blue hair turns off his TV. "Fuyuki. Fuyuki. Fuyuki. All well soon they'll be talking about Los Angeles." An evil grin crosses his face. "I wonder who is competing... Maybe a low level Mage will compete. Take him or her out of the running for the Holy Grail."
"Fayte who are you talking to?" A little girl rubs her eyes.
"It's nothing Syuri. Go back to bed." Fayte smiled for his younger sister.
"I can't. There's a monster under my bed." She goes up to him and hugs him tightly.
"Hey I know something that will work!" He smiled. He got a small catalyst and placed it on a magic circle. He concentrated and transformed the catalyst into a light pink jewel. It shined brightly.
"Pretty." Syuri looked at the necklace.
"Always wear it and nothing bad can never touch you." Fayte smiled and placed it around Syuri's neck.
"Thanks Fayte!" She hugged him and ran back to her room.
"Everything will change from this day forward." Fayte's evil grin appears on his face once more.
