The following story is a [FAN-FICTION]. Fate/stay night, Extra, Apocrypha, Grand Order, Prototype: Fragments of Blue and Silver, and Strange Fake are all owned by TYPE-MOON and it's respective owners. Please support the official release of all Fate/series franchises.
Hello everyone! As you all know. It's finally 2017. Because we'll be getting an Fate Extravaganza. Such as Fate/Grand Order -First Order-, Heaven's Feel Trilogy, Fate/Apocrypha Anime, and Fate/Extra Last Encore! Crazy, right? With that, I wanted to create a story that will be a reboot on my previous Fate stories that I've done and weren't that good. So that, I went back to the drawing board and came up with the setting and the characters. The theme will be all about Solider versus Traitor and the risk for the loved ones of their family. I know it may have a dark tone. But, it's something I want to come up with. And yes, the story is no way connected to Strange Fake, Apocrypha, Grand Order, Stay Night, Extra, or Zero but a reset universe setting after the Fifth Holy Grail War. But, Grand Order characters such as Olgamally Animusphere will appear as a heroine. Oh yeah, if you want to listen to Persona 5 OST. Use Soundcloud for a better experience or YouTube if you want. And with that, please enjoy.

*Persona 5 OST - Event: Interrogation
[STEP STEP STEP STEP]
"Shit… Shit! This is bad…" The man with a green military clothing and donning a helmet was seen running upstairs with his sniper rifle on his back.
"This is [Ryuuga 1]. You almost there to stop that traitor?" Ryuuga 1 talks to him though his communicator as he replies.
"Yeah… I hear you. I'm almost reaching to the rooftops. It shouldn't be that long." The man replied back to his comrade.
"Good. Once you're at the rooftops. Buy us time to prepare for a counterattack, alright?" Ryuuga 1 said as he commands him.
"Roger, We're Oscar Mike." Thus, he ends the call as he finally reaches the rooftops… where a man wearing a military uniform and a helmet was seen standing there…
But, the man starts to take of his helmet. Revealing to be a black hair with a sleek emo-like hairstyle parted to the right as his right eye is covered and have brown eyes. But… his face expression towards that traitor… was worried.
"So… You've caught up to me… Friend- no… Katsura Tendou…" The traitor spoke to his friend as he turns around to look at him…
Katsura Tendou… a US Army soldier who is part of an Japanese Special Ops group called Ryuuga. He is currently Age 19 at this moment.
"Tatsuya Miyamoto… why… why are you doing this… weren't we supposed to be comrades?" Katsura said to him as he looked down as he starts to slowly laugh as it starts to become louder.
"Geheheheheheh… GAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Seriously?! Comrades?! To hell with that! I'm done being that type nor being a Mr. Goody-Two-Shoes! Yet, you've ruined me. After what you've had done to my life… Ever since you joined the Spec Ops group… I was proud to see a another member join us… and now you just… scold me because I lack training, using guns, and exercise because you viewed me as an goddamn underachiever! How does that feel for making me feel bad, huh?!" Tatsuya yelled as he threw a fit towards Katsura… he remained calmed and try to get him to give up.
"Look… The reason why you lack is because of your training… I need you to get you stronger. You said that you wanted to become my partner when we first met-" Katsura's sentence was cut.
"Sh-Shut the hell up! I'd had it! I'm done with you!" Tatsuya yelled towards him as he brings out a device that he stole from the terrorist leader. "I will press this switch… Once I press this, the functioning launcher units will bomb Iraq. I will kill myself! Along with you as well!"
"Don't! If you do! You'll claim all of the people's lives in Iraq!" Katsura warned him in a sudden shock of his plans.
"I DON'T CARE ABOUT PEOPLE'S LIVES! I JUST WANNA GET REVENGE FROM YOU! I HATE YOU! I HATE YOU SO MUCH! JUST DIE ALREADY!" Tatsuya yelled in rage when he is about to press the switch until…
[PEW! TCH! BZZZZZZZZZZZZZZT!]
"RAAAAAAAGGGGGGHHHH! Y-YOU BITCH!" Tatsuya yelled in rage as he dropped the device as Katsura runs towards Tatsuya…
"ORAAA!" Katsura yelled as he threw a punch…
[TWACK!]
Just as he threw a punch… Tatsuya was knocked out on the rooftop floor as he looked at him…
"Tatsuya-san… I'm… I'm sorry for making you go through your pain that you've ended up…" Katsura said to him as one of his comrade who was seen grappling up the building with a used Taser gun as he got up on the rooftops
"Yo… Sorry I'm late. Heheh." Katsura's comrade smiled at Katsura as he looked at Tatsuya's pulse.
"Kiyokazu-san, you're here." Katsura noticed his arrival Kiyokazu looked at him. "We're you able to evacuate the civilians, though?"
"Yup. Just did. Akira-chan has been sniping down some terrorists. You should have seen her skills like you. Heheh." Kiyokazu said to him with a smile.
"So… It's finished, right?" Then, one of the another comrade looked at Katsura and Kiyokazu.
"Oh, Kei-san. It's finished. We've got the traitor." Kiyokazu said to him as he approached to look at Tatsuya.
"Man… it's like a runaway child being so spoiled. He wants to use his own deeds to get revenge on him nor us…" Kei said with a calm tone and looked at Katsura. "Now then, Katsura-san. The mission is complete. Thank you for buying us time to stop him."
"Y-Yeah… It's no problem…" Katsura replied to him as he stood there… thinking to himself… is that really his fault? And so then… everything went black in his eyes… like an seemless dream...
-FIVE YEARS LATER…-
4/9/2014 Fuyuki City, Japan Daytime - Cloudy
Katsura POV
I suddenly woke up from my small gasp of air… Which then I looked around here in this train… Wait… it's just a dream… damn… No matter. That was only a past though. All I see here is a cloudy sky where the sun never shines but provides light instead… I can see my hometown in which I'm arriving. Also, I'm pretty much calm while wearing my black jeans, white t-shirt, and a green US military jacket. Seeing people and kids on the train traveling their way to the city where I was born and raised in.
"Next stop: Fuyuki. I repeat, Next stop: Fuyuki. Thank you for using this line." The female announcer of the train spoke… Well, this is my stop.
Just then as the train stopped. I got off the train as some people did so as I stared at the city as the train left to the next stop. Fuyuki City… the place where I was born and raised in… Oh yeah. Let me introduce myself now. The names Katsura Tendou. Age 24. I have a height of 171 cm and a weigh about 61 kg. My blood type is A just to let you know. I'm a former US Soldier after the whole Iraq situation regarding my former comrade turned traitor. After the war, I went to serve the JSDF back in 2011 at Tokyo. But right now… I'm no longer in JSDF… well, because I wanted to quit and move on… that's my reason why… Yet, I'm still living in the past… it's pretty much bullshit to be honest… Can't say for least. But, what I wanted is to rebuild my life and reconnect with my remaining family… My mother and father are dead five years ago… I don't know which death was it. But… I have a young sister named Mio and my grandmother named Yukano who was born after the Nagasaki incident in World War II. And yet… I'm still carrying a large long case. You wanna know? It's a Sniper Rifle Gun Case… I still carry it and people and the police don't care about it but viewed it as a… what can you say… a violin. Anyways, enough of that. Right now… I need to head to the residential area of Fuyuki. Just need to cross the bridge and that's it. And so, I started to exit out the train station and looked at the busy city of Fuyuki itself… Man… everything changed doesn't it, huh? Anyways, I should get going…
-[Residential Area]-
*Persona 5 OST- Night Rain
As soon as I start to arrive to the Residential Area. I soon to notice that I can see youths wearing high school uniforms making their way to school… Homurahara Academy. That's where I graduated when I wanted to join the US Military for a reason. Well, none of that matters now. Just need to keep going and that's it...
"W-WHOOOOOOOOOAA! THE BRAKES ARE BROKEN! HEEEEELP-" The voice of a youth starts crashing into a pile of trash can as I looked at him… is he okay…
Oh well… I'll just ignore him and pretend that never happened. Kids these days. They do sure grow fast after all.
"H-Help? I'm stuck here! Anyone? Ugggh. This is so bull!" The youth yelled inside the trash can as he was squirming and wiggling as I kept walking to ignore him.
-[Tendou Residence]-
Just as I arrived back to my home. It's still there as always. Just a house with no upstairs, though. I took a deep breath as I pressed the doorbell…
[BZZZZZZT!]
"I-I'll go get it, Baa-san!" The voice of a young girl spoke as she opens the door. Black hair with a side ponytail and brown eyes. She is indeed a young girl. However, she was happy to see me.
"Hey, Mio. I see you're growing up well?" I softly said to my sister with a smile.
"B-Baa-san! Baa-san! Onii-chan is back! Look!" Mio yelled at my grandmother as she responds.
"Hai, hai… Coming, Mio-kun…" The voice of Yukano arrives to see me. She is indeed old and having white hair and a slight wrinkled face. "O-Oh my goodness… K-Katsura… Is… Is that you…?" She proceeds to feel my face.
"Yeah… It's me, Baa-san. I'm… home." I replied to her with a kind response. Then… she proceeds to hug me.
"Welcome home, Katsura… I'm so glad you're okay. But, we can talk inside. Please, I'll treat you your favorite food." Yukano said with a kind smile as she takes me inside our home.
[-Evening, Cloudy-]
*Persona 5 OST- Home
And so as hours passed… My grandmother treated me my favorite food when I was little… Pork Cutlet Bowl. They were my favorite food. I still love them since. Right now, I'm eating my seconds as Yukano was seen talking to me.
"Now then, Katsura-kun. How was your life in Military? Did it go well for you?" Yukano said to me as I stopped eating to reply after I swallowed my food.
"Hmm… It went… normal as it should be. That's all I know, okay?" I sighed as I continued eating.
"My, Katsura. You haven't changed your personality. Last time I know, you were all nice and now you became blunt and rather mean. Did something happened as well?" Yukano asked me about my personality.
"No, Baa-san… It's just who I am for the last five years during my military time. It's just… I went through so much training and being deployed in a war at Iraq. And later on, I left the US Army and joined the JSDF. And now, I just quit… I know it feels different now, but… I just want to reconnect with you again and even our sister as well." I said as I finished my food.
"Say, Onii-chan! What's that thing on your back?" Mio pointed at my gun case containing my Sniper Rifle, the Suppressed M40A5.
"Umm… You don't wanna know. I can't tell you everything about it, okay, Mio?" I kindly said to her as I petted her head.
"Haha! Okay! Maybe next time you will?" Mio asked me with a cute smile.
"Heh, maybe… Maybe I will… But… keep this a secret, okay?" I replied to her as she happily nods like a good girl as always.
"Okay! I'll keep that secret then, Onii-chan!~" Mio happily replied to me.
"My, You do like Mio. Don't you?" Yukano smiled at me.
"D-Don't get a wrong idea, Baa-san… It's not like-" My sentence was cut as Mio talks in.
"Onii-chan is blushing!~" Mio pointed at me as I noticed when I start to deny it.
"I-I'm not!" I replied back to both of them as we started to laugh… "Besides… It feels nice to come back home… right?"
"Yes, yes. I'm happy for you to come home. After all, your room is all nice and clean ever since you left to America to join the army, of course. Make yourself at home here." Yukano smiled at me.
"Yeah… Thanks, Baa-san." I stood up and headed to my room…
-[Katsura's Room]-
I was once in my room… the room remained clean as always. Untouched. I'll have to give kudos to Baa-san later once I wake up in the next day. However… I placed my Gun Case on the floor as I opened it… And there it is… my sniper rifle… I have suppressors and five clips for my gun. Well… I can't tell Baa-san about it so I closed it and placed it against the wall. Right now… It's night time so I have to go to bed…
"Ahhhhh…~ I feel tired… Shit… I guess coming back to Fuyuki bring me good memories after all… A normal life indeed… Though… I think I should start finding a part time job starting tomorrow morning…" I said to myself as I yawned a bit and slept on my futon… the lights are still on… I feel so lazy… And so, I start to close my eyes and take a rest, calling it a day for now…
4/9/2014 ?, ? UNKNOWN - UNKNOWN
I start to slowly open my eyes to look around… where am I… What is this place… Enshrouded by fog? Is this my dream… What the hell is going on here… I have no idea… Also, I'm starting to hear some weird female voice in my head...
*Persona 5 OST- Event: Trouble Among Shaddy Past -Intro Inc-
?: "Which path will you take? Righteousness? Ruin? I assume that you've don't know me… But… I know your past… it haunts you. Is it not?"
"Huh? What are you talking about… Show yourself! Who are you!"
?: "My name does not matter to you. What is matter is your fate nor your destiny… No matter what how far you go. The past will follow you no matter what. Remember this, the path is yours to take… do what you want with it…"
Then… the voice starts to fade…
"H-Hey! What the hell, lady! Talk to me!"
Suddenly… I noticed a silhouette approaching me from the fog… Oh man… I though I never see him again...
"Remember me, Katsura?" The voice of Tatsuya spoke to me… he was still wearing his military stuff… Great, how the hell did he get in my dream.
"Tatsuya-san…" I said his name but never spoke… Nothing more, nothing less.
"That's right, Katsura… Ever since you've humiliated me and the army itself… I still hated your guts as always…" Tatsuya said with a cold stare towards me.
"Look, Please stop your nonsense and just give up. This is how the world goes. Period." I replied to him with a serious, blunt look on my face.
"Hmph. It maybe… The next time we cross… I'll kill you." Tatsuya lets out a middle finger at me as he starts to fade away…
"Dumbass…" I replied as everything starts to become white…
-[Reality]-
I slowly open my eyes during the night… the lights were turned off now… I guess my sister or my grandmother really did that, huh? But seriously… that dream… seriously pisses me off… I really need to go back to sleep...
4/9/2014 Kotomine Church, Fuyuki, Japan Evening - Clear Sky
Third Person POV
*Persona 5 OST- Event: Trouble Among Shaddy Past
In a place called a Church where people who are religious who go pray to their gods in belief. However… it's currently night time where a mysterious person who is a female hiding her face as she was wearing a robe to hide. But, she was seen standing outside the church. Then, inside the church… the man with black hair, wearing a priest robes and holding a bible book was seen standing there to read his book, while a white haired woman was sitting on a bench with a serious look on her face.
But, what is important is that girl… She had golden-like eyes but amber. Having white hair that is long and had her hair braided that is short on her left. But she wore a black/orange clothing with a red cloth and amber gem on her neck which represent her nobility with her white skirt under it. But, she had red pantyhose all the way from her high heels to her upper legs as she wore her high heels…
[BOOK CLOSE!]
"Hmm. I assume you're here to see me, Olgamally Animusphere? Or… should I call you Marie?" The priest said to her as she stood up and looked at him…
Olgamally "Marie" Animusphere… she is a First Class Magus and a member of the Animusphere family of magi. Considered as one of the top ten families in the Clock Tower. However, despite her tsundere-like personality. Most people in the Clock Tower viewed her as "downright evil" for her unsavory ways or calling her "stiff as a board". And she may harshly scold any people that she doesn't like if she wouldn't hesitate. However… on her right hand displays her red symbol which supposed to be the left wing acting as blade-like weapons…
"Or… you're here for a permission to start the Greater Holy Grail War, First Class-Magus?" The priest asks her as she talks in a serious manner.
"I'm not here for permissions, Ryuji Kotomine…" Olgamally glares at Ryuji because of his smile…
Ryuji Kotomine… He was considered to be the successor of Kirei Kotomine, who died ten years ago after a certain incident… With that, Ryuji took his place to become a Overseer of the upcoming Holy Grail War. Nothing much to say about him… he considers himself… the Judge of the War in order to supervise it.
"Oh? Then what is it?" Ryuji replies to her.
"I'm asking about the missing Servant and Master in our faction… the Archer Class Servant." Olgamally said to him as he smiled a bit…
"Ahh… the Archer… I assume that it has not yet been summoned. However… you have two nights before to find if Archer has really summoned. Is that understood?" Ryuji said to her as she tightens her fists…
"I get that already! Don't you even think twice. I know what to do, alright?" Olgamally turns around and makes her leave, keeping her serious look on her face.
"But… before you leave… I need to warn you…" Ryuji tells her as she stops.
"Then make it quick, Fake Priest." Olgamally coldly insults him.
"My, my. That's not a nice thing to say. Anyways… it seems the Homura Faction's Assassin is on a move this night… Be wary on your way back. He may come back for a next night, you know?" Ryuji kept his smile towards her as she still looks away as she left without saying… "And there she goes. I wonder how this will turn out…"
Just as she left and closes the door… A mysterious silhouette approaches behind Ryuji as he now have a serious look while not looking.
"I see things are going as expected, Ryuji." The teenage male like voice spoke behind him as he approaches him…
He has long hair tied into a ponytail. His clothing is a mixture of traditional samurai outfit with European influence. He wears a jinbaori style haori with Christianity crosses decorated on them. He wears a tradition umanori hakama with Shin guards which had cloth straps that were used to tie the Shin guards to the lower leg. He wears a collar shirt underneath his Kimono and a Cravat tied around his collar. Plus, he is wielding a sheathed sword on his left hips.
"Hmph… I never expected to see you here… Ruler… What is it you want. If you have nothing to say… then begone." Ryuji coldly said to him…
Ruler… A Servant class that does not possess a Master. This class serves as the absolute supervisor of the Holy Grail War, possessing special privileges against other Servants. Essentially, Ruler is summoned as an additional Eighth Servant by the Holy Grail. However, the ruler class would never be summoned in the first place in a normal Holy Grail War. There are basically only two cases where a Ruler class servant would be summoned. The first case is when a Holy Grail War is conducted under exceedingly special and unusual circumstances with unforeseeable consequences. In the situation, the central pillar of the ritual, the Holy Grail, would judge that Ruler, a Servant outside the control of Human hands is required in the Holy Grail War. And the second case is when there is a possibility of the world itself being distorted due to the effects of the Holy Grail. In the modern setup of the Holy Grail, Masters fight each other using Servants to obtain the Holy Grail. In the majority of cases, Masters are chosen from Magi, who value secrecy. It's extremely rare that one of them would invite disaster upon the world. But, there are a rare few who would use the Holy Grail War to bring about the world's destruction. Servant Ruler is summoned when the Holy Grail determines that such destruction is theoretically possible and imminent , and is given the duty of safeguarding the framework of the Holy Grail War. The Ruler-class servant summoned in the largest scale Holy Grail War in history with two groups of seven Servants fighting each other. Thus… Ruler's true name is Amakusa Shirou Tokisada…
"Oh no, I'm just here to confirm the progress of the war, Ryuji. Besides, you should be thankful that I gave you permission to summon your Servant Saber with my help. Is that correct?" Ruler smiled at him as Ryuji sighed as he covered his right hand with his left.
"I understand that, Ruler. But, as far as we know… I assume that you will start the war once Archer is summoned to the battlefield, yes?" Ryuji responded to him as he nods.
"That is correct, Ryuji. After all, you are working under me and your job is to supervise the war and I will judge the outcome of the battle if it's deemed unfair." Ruler said as he looked up at the stained glass shedding a night's light. "Now then… I will make my leave… I will be sure to check on you… Make sure to take care of Liu Xiu well... or Saber you prefer." Ruler kept his smile as he turns around and makes his leave…
"Tch… How annoying…" Ryuji muttered himself in annoyance…
-[Outside Kotomine Church]-
Olgamally was seen exiting outside of the church as she took a sigh. Just then, the robed woman who took off her hood, revealing her face of a pink-silver hair, silver eyes, and having a black/red shuriken-like hair clip that keeps her hair tied while leaving out a long hair streak from the right.
"Say, Master. Any news?" The woman revealed to be a Servant said to her Master.
"Not yet… But, we must find Archer in the next night. Let's go, Saber" Olgamally commanded her Servant as she followed her...
4/10/2014 Fuyuki City, Japan Daytime - Clear Sky
Katsura POV
*Persona 5 OST- Event: General -Slower Tempo-
[WRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!]
I was seen driving a moped bike carrying two boxes of Supreme Pizza… Oh? You didn't know? I'm taking an part-time job today because I had to make money for a living. Yet, I had to go deliver it at the address so it's best to look around before I get run over. That would suck… As I was stopping at the red light…
Woman: "N-NYYYAAAAHH!~ S-STOP! H-HELP!"
Man: "Gehehehehe…~ C'mon! We've been going out for a while now!~ It's about time we took this up to a notch!~"
Woman: "We're aren't going out! I don't even know you! Let me go! You're disgusting!"
However… I'm witnessing a situation going on… There is that Stalker trying to hog up her right leg. She can't do anything but get abused by a sick man thrusting his crotch up and down and making weird perverted face I've ever seen… It's like a damn motor revving from his crotch! This triggers me. All she needed is to go to the taxi cab and go somewhere but this guy won't let him… Why aren't people doing anything to stop this man… Is this how society works? I can't make this woman embarrassed. I have to stop him. As soon as I got out of my moped in the middle of the road. I quickly ran to stop the situation since people can't help.
"Hey! Get your dirty hands off of a woman's leg, you pervert!" I yelled when I pushed the perverted man away as the woman kept her balance like a rabbit hopping. So then, I looked at the woman. "Get going."
Woman: "A-Arigato!"
The woman bows as she got in the cab as it drives away. However… the pervert seemed angry.
Pervert: "W-What the hell man!? I was going out with her on a date! Can't you see, you douchebag? I'll kill ya!"
"Oh? You really think you can take me on? I would love to see you try. But, since I can't… I have work to do. Later… and don't do that weird shit again you hear me?" I said to him as I started to head back to my vehicle until…
[STEP STEP STEP!]
Pervert: "G-Go to hell, you bitch!"
Just as he is about to throw a punch. I ducked down as I grabbed his arm that he is about to throw.
"ORAAA!" I yelled as I throw his arm to the ground.
[CRASH!]
Pervert: "GUAAAWWWGGGHHH! MY ARM! SHIT!"
"Nice attack. But not good enough." I replied as I start to make my leave, leaving some of the people watching my leave on this vehicle with two pizza boxes as I drive off as it was green light in a perfect timing. "Tch… Perverts…"
-[Apartments]-
As soon as I arrived to the apartments. I carried the boxes and went upstairs to knock one the door…
[KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK]
"Hello? This is from Romagna Pizza Delivery. I'm here to give you the pizza." I said as I waited for seconds… "Umm. Sir?"
[DOOR OPEN]
*Poolside Identity | Chuunibyou x Kendrick Lamar
Otaku: "Hey, man! You got that pizza for me?"
"Y-Yes… I do." I said as I start to listen to this… ridiculous music…
Otaku: "Awesome! Say! What's the price!"
"1,600 Yen, sir." I replied to him as he gave me the money and takes the box.
Otaku: "Wow! You're a awesome guy! Thanks! Before you leave… What's your favorite anime?! Strike Witches? Bleach? Naruto?! One Piece?!"
"U-Umm… No? Look… I have to leave. Please don't make me stand here longer-" My sentence was cut.
Otaku: "C'mon, man! You need to tell me your favorite anime! My favorite is Strike Witches! And I own that cute sexy Minna-Dietlinde Wilcke bodypillow! How cool is that-"
[DOOR CLOSE!]
I closed the door as the music in the room was muted… I took a deep breath to calm down… Good god… I ain't approaching that weird guy…
"I hate my job…" And that was the only thing I had to say…
4/10/2014 Romagna Pizza Delivery, Fuyuki City, Japan Afternoon - Clear Sky
At last… back at the delivery place where I was seen taking off my clothes for work as I placed them in the locker. Yet, my manager named Tomoko Anabuki was seen looking at me as I was wearing back my usual clothing when I first returned to Fuyuki.
"Hey, Kat! Good job on your first job! How did it go." Tomoko said to me as I looked at her. Despite I met weird people…
"It… went normal as expected… but… Can I talk to you real quick?" I asked her as she blinked her eyes.
"Yes?" Tomoko replied.
"I'm quitting… on my first day. Sorry for making me say that." I said as she frowned a bit.
"R-Really? That sudden… I guess I'm sorry to hear that… But… Here, your pay anyways since you're the first timer." Tomoko gives me the envelope that contains my pay. "Is that enough? 2,500 Yen?"
"Meh. I'm okay with it. Anyways… take care." I said to her as I start to make my leave.
"T-Thank you for helping us!" Tomoko bowed as I left… Yeah. Totally…
4/10/2014 Tendou Residence, Fuyuki, Japan Evening - Clear Sky
"Eh? You quit your job on your first day, Katsura-kun?" Yukano said to me with a surprise on her face.
"Who cares, I guess. Besides, I got what I need." I said as I showed the envelope to her.
"I understand that but, You shouldn't quit your job like that, you know?" Yukano said to me as she took my envelope.
"H-Hey! I earned it, Baa-san. My money which is my responsibility, okay?" I said to her with a glare until Mio arrives holding something.
"Onii-chan! Look what I have! I think it's from you!" Mio said to he as she puts the small gold colored-like box as I looked at it.
"Hmm? What is it?" I asked her as I opened it. Revealing to be… a Card…? The woman using a Bow and Arrow. I assume it says Archer on it… "Mio… Who sent me this?"
"Hmm… I don't know who was it from but… I think it does look nice." Mio said with a smile.
"Okay… You know what, Baa-san. I think… I'm going for a walk… I'm tired after the whole… job thing." I said as I stood up and prepared my leave.
"O-Onii-chan! W-Wait!" Mio yelled at me as I stopped.
"Hmm?" I noticed at her as she gave me something… I looked at it and what it appears to be… a broken handle of a bow with a cloth strap on it and it has a vine curled around the handle with a leaf hanging out of it. "I see… Thank you."
"Thank you, Onii-chan. It's my good luck charm! Take care!" Mio waved at me as I was about to leave.
"Right right, Thanks, Mio. You best stay safe inside." I replied back to her as I left the house.
4/10/2014 Residential Area, Fuyuki, Japan Evening - Clear Sky
It was nighttime. I was seen walking around the town here. Pretty quiet as always, doesn't it. Yet, it's been five years… Five years after the events during my time in the US army, then to JSDF, and then now. I'm living a normal life as expected. I'm glad nothing had gone strange now. Even though… I tend to ignore my past but it tries to follow me. Yet, I will still ignore it. Though… Having a normal life… is all I wanted, really. It feels nice to live peacefully.
"And yet, I'm still pissed that Baa-san took my damn money…" I talked to myself in annoyance.
"Ugggghh… H-Help me… My chest… Ow…" The injured man holding his chest was in pain as I took notice… is this guy okay? I have to help him…
"Hey, sir? Are you alright? You don't feel too good. Are you? Here, let me give you a hand, alright?" I said to him as I started helping him out.
"T-Thank you, young man… Not…" The man starts to turn so suspicious. I was confused.
"Excuse me- WHOA!" I noticed and took a step back as I fell to the ground but got back up… What the hell? Is that a blade?
"Damn… Almost got you… For a second there, you're pretty good at reactions. I'll have to give you that, boy." The man starts to take of his clothing, revealing his… black coat, two katanas, and a kimono… He also dons a military hat and his hairstyle looks like that he tied his hair to have it hanging but.. It sure looks a bit little big for a hair like that… sort of…
"Just… who are you?" I asked him as he turned around.
"Oh, never heard of me? I'm just an Assassin looking for some entertainment. Though, You can call me Assassin of Homura. But, being called by my class name ain't my forte. The names Okada Izou, pleased to meetcha. Now die." Assassin starts to unsheathe his sword in a samurai stance as I stood still to prepare my Close Quarter Combat techniques.
Again, five years for my combat training… It was all worth it. He started dashing as I ducked down as I grappled his stomach as I turned around to perform a suplex.
"ORAAAAAAAA!"
[CRUSH!]
Just as I performed a suplex on him. He recovered pretty quickly as he stood there, cracking his neck.
"Damn, you got some moves, pal. Doing such techniques won't harm me. After all, I am a Servant." Assassin dashed towards me as I prepared for a next one until I was kicked in the stomach, sent crashing to the vending machine… right against the wall… shit… This guy is not human…
What the hell is a Servant? What did he mean Assassin? I don't know what the hell going on? I'm just a damn asshole who wants a normal life… not death… As soon as I remembered when I grabbed out a Card… and a broken bow handle… I guess I can hold them but shit… My stomach hurts… All I can fear is red… such as blood.
"Done already? For a second there, this was about to get interesting but instead you killed it. Oh well, killing you won't hurt after all, right?" Assassin said with his smile as he held his sword ready, awaiting for my death.
"N-No way… I won't believe it. Ever… All I wanted is a normal life… like the rest of the people. Five years of bullshit I went through, losing others and making them as my enemies… I want to go away with that and change…" I can feel my right hand burning as I continued. "Yet… my life is ruined... over a single killer... who knows nothing of what being human is!"
*Persona 5 OST- Will Power
However, the card and the broken bow handle starts to respond as it glows when there was a circle below me as I was blown away by the beam of light. Along with Assassin as he stood still.
"What the?! A another Servant-" Assassin's voice was cut until...
[FWOOSH!]
[CLANG!]
Assassin was pushed back by a powerful arrow that was fast, it hit his blade that he blocked…
Third Person POV
"Master, look!" Saber pointer at the location where the beam of light died. "We must go to it."
"Right, we must hurry. It has to be Archer." Olgamally said as she continues to run as Saber starts to run on the rooftops to go ahead.
Katsura POV
Just as the light dies down… I start to open my eyes… this woman with a bow saved me…
This girl clad in verdant green with cold, sharp eyes containing a beastly glint. Her hair is stretched out long and unkempt, and it is completely lacking in the silkiness that would be found amongst those of noble birth. Also… she has… cat ears and a tail… Is she human…? But, she turned around to look at me.
"Servant Archer is answered your call. I ask of you… are you my Master?" Archer said to me as I was left confused… What is she talking about?
"Hey! Don't leave me hanging. I assume you're an Archer? Good. I'll be killing you next along with that boy." Assassin yelled as he was being left out.
But, Archer looked at my right hand carrying a broken bow handle in which I looked at it… what is this… red tattoo on my hand… It looks like an Arrow? Wing? Wing… Arrow? I don't know. But, she looked back at Assassin.
"I see, you are indeed my Master. What is your order?" Archer said to me as I was still confused… an order… I did not speak but I pointed Assassin with my left hand which I no longer have the card on me… Is this the guy who tried to kill me? However, she responded with a nod. "Very well, I shall protect your life."
"Hey hey hey, Stop protecting that boy, you know? He's my prey to kill so back-" Assassin's sentence was cut off as he dodged an arrow to his left. "Now you've got me started… Let's have some fun, shall we?"
"I am ordered to kill you based on Master's orders, that is it." Archer said as she starts to grab an arrow from her quiver, drew her bow and quickly released it as Assassin was seen charging towards her as he blocks the arrow with his blade.
Archer kept firing more arrows with no hesitation. But, she can draw and fire it quickly… I was surprised… but… the fight will escalate and it needs to be stop but… this girl named Archer is protecting me. But, Assassin starts to become annoyed as he steps back while blocking arrows. Then, Archer jumped up and fired three arrows at once as Assassin deflects them until one of the arrows grazed one of his shoulders as he stepped back.
"Tch… This is getting boring. I'm outta here. Sayonara, it's been fun. But, I'll kill you someday…" Assassin starts to flee as a retreat as I stood up in pain from my stomach… Shit… that hurts…
"Master, are you okay?" Archer asked me as I raised my hand as a signal that I'm okay. "I see…"
"Ow… A-Anyways… Thank you for saving me… Archer… right?" I asked her as she nods. "Now.. if you excuse me… I need to get home and-"
Archer suddenly grabs out an arrow and drew her bow as she looks behind me as she detects something?
"Hey… Archer? Are you… okay?" I asked her as she ignores me.
"W-Whoa! Don't shoot me! I'm not your enemy. We're a team, remember?" A mysterious voice of a energetic woman said to Archer.
"I do not remember that we are teams once before. Therefore, you are my enemy." Archer coldly replied to her.
"C-C'mon! I said we're a team-" The woman with a pink-silver hair dodged an incoming arrow as she dodges it quickly. "H-Hey! That's not fair! Can't you just let me talk?"
"Hey, Archer… Can't you just let her talk?" I commanded her.
"Is that an order?" Archer asked me as I nodded. "Very well."
"Phew… you saved me, Master of Archer. But, thanks!" The woman smiles at me. "Oh yeah! The name's Saber! I can't tell you my real name so-"
"So… It is true…" The mysterious voice of a women spoke as she approached in front of Saber… Who is she… this white haired girl wearing fancy clothing…
"U-Uhh… Just what's going on? Who are you?" I asked her in a concerned look on my face…
"Olgamally Animusphere. We have a lot to talk about, Master of Archer." Olgamally said to me with a straight up serious look on her face. Yet calm…
And thus… My different kind of life starts… Who am I going to trust?
Ending Theme - STYX HELIX (English Ver.) by AmaLee
Oh please don't let me die
Waiting for your touch
Katsura was seen standing in on a river under the bridge of a silhouetted Fuyuki City with Archer of Yuki standing behind Katsura in an other way.
No, don't give up on life
This endless dead end
Olgamally was seen standing on the rooftops of the city with Saber of Yuki standing the other way as the sun rises as everything went white.
My hourglass is cracked
And it's my life
Spilling out, blowing over like sand
Rosalie Henriette Icecolle was seen sitting on the bench with Caster of Yuki behind her as the snow was falling as it transitions.
Just like the feelings
I have grown to love…
How quickly they can all fade away
Souji Nangou was seen leaning against the wall in the city where Lancer of Yuki was seen standing next to him as it was raining. As it transitions to every past of Katsura through every beat.
Is it too late to say…
"I wish I was there"
Which then shows Katsura and Olgamally looking at each other with their Servants as everything went black.
Oh please don't let me die
Waiting for your touch
Then, everything went white where it shows Hayate Masamune walking with Rider of Yuki at the empty school hallways with the sunset shedding light from the windows.
I'll never, not ever
Feel what it's like to lose you
Even if I have to forget who I am and…
"RE:START"
Minna-Justina Marseille was seen with Assassin of Yuki as she was seen petting her in a dark room where it only sheds light from the windows as everything went white to transition.
No, don't give up on life
This endless dead end
And for this- I will wish
All of your pain and sadness
Naoto Kanno was seen standing on the top of the building rubble with Berserker of Yuki as the wings were blowing while the sun was slowly rising as the snowflake covered up as it transitions.
Fade someday…
I hope to brush it away
For now, I'll see you off
Unless I pray for a new day
Then I know
Unless I pray for a new day
I'll lose you
Then, the snowflakes blows away as it shows Katsura and Olgamally looking at each other as they walked together with Rosalie, Souji, Hayate, Minna, Naoto, and their Servants walking on the bridge in a colored Fuyuki City as the sun rises as everything went white.

Third Person POV
"WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU THINKING, HUH?! ARE YOU THAT STUPID! YOU WANNA DIE SO BADLY FROM THAT DAMN ARROW!" The blonde woman with a tomboyish hairstyle was angry at her servant, Assassin… or Okada Izou as he prefers. "Geez… you're so annoying to handle…"
"Don't blame me, It ain't my fault cause that Archer was summoned because of that boy." Assassin said as he drinks a bottle of alcohol. "Mmm… Taste good. No wonder Japanese Brewery taste that good."
"A-Are you even listening!?" The blonde woman yelled at him.
"Enough talking, Shouko…" The voice of a male spoke as his face was covered by a shadow as he was seen standing in a dark corridor along with his Servant wearing a white armor but with his face concealed by the shadows as he had a large golden sword on his back.
"M-Miyamoto-sama…" Shouko looked at a man named Miyamoto as she bows in apology. "S-Sorry for yelling…"
"Don't care…" Miyamoto said as he threw a knife against the wall, a picture of the US Army's Ryuuga Group. "So it's true, Assassin. Is Archer is summoned?"
"Appears so." Assassin said as he drinks his alcohol.
"I see… I guess this battle will be starting soon… Katsura… I'll never… ever… forgive you…" And thus… The man… Miyamoto walks away into a dark corridor along with his Servant as everything went black…

Author's Notes: Hello, everyone! Thank you so much for reading my story reboot. Yet, I feel happy to make stories again ever since I was focusing on a another story project that is part of mine. Anyways, before I end this. I need to make confirmations. One, this story is a REBOOT and set after the Fifth Holy Grail War. Two, many characters from Stay Night, Apocrypha, Strange Fake, and Prototype will appear but will have different roles in the story. And three, This story's theme is about Friends and Betrayal and ones you love are at risk. I hope you'll all enjoy when Fate/Apocrypha Anime, Fate/Extra Last Encore, Fate/Heaven's Feel Trilogy, Fate/Grand Order Anime, and Fate/EXTELLA comes out in 2017. Talk about a Fate Extravaganza alright. Anyways, Until next time! Switch on your Youth!
EDIT: I changed up at the last post-credit scene. Instead of the "Knight of Treachery" to be Miyamoto-sama's Servant. I decided to change to a Servant who is part of the Round Table. While the Treachery will play a different important role in Chapter 4. I just wanted to change things quick.
