Chapter 1: Berserker
First Scene Beta Read by Dark Angel Of Sorrow Returns
The village was burning.
Assassin stared at her opponent, her hand gripping her broadsword tightly. She could already feel that her Master had escaped away from all the fighting. She sighed, smiling lightly, before raising her sword and pointing it at her opponent. "Fufu," she chuckled, through the pain. "You're making a scary face right now."
Her opponent – she didn't know her class – wasn't smiling, and instead raised her katana and pointed it at Assassin. "Quiet," she demanded. "I've heard legends about Oni trickery."
"I'm not trying to trick you," Assassin winced as she reached up to clasp a hand around her bloody shoulder. "My Master has already escaped."
The other Servant narrowed her eyes. "I see," she hummed. "In that case, I'll have to kill him after I deal with you." She raised her katana and held it in front of her face. "Dan-No-Ura," she whispered to herself. "Eight Boat Leap!" She suddenly jumped forward and, in a flash, was in front of Assassin.
Assassin tried to react quickly and raise her sword, but the Servant quickly swung her weapon horizontally, slashing through her abdomen. The Servant landed on the ground behind Assassin, her katana coated in red blood.
Assassin fell to her knees, an arm around her stomach, as blood began to pool around her. "Please, Master," she murmured, as her sight began to fade. "You must survive…" Her eyes closed as she fell silent.
The other Servant scoffed and sheathed her katana. "Now to find the boy…" Her eyes widened suddenly, as she took a step back and grimaced. "You…!"
Twelve years in the future and seven thousand kilometers away, a young Indian man woke up in a derelict plane next to the winner of Total Drama Island, who was snoring loudly. He quickly held his head and looked around his surroundings with wide eyes.
"What the heck was that all about?" Noah wondered aloud.
Xxx
"Urghh…" Noah groaned aloud, holding a hand to his forehead. Today had not been the greatest day for him. First, he had nearly gotten sucked out of a plane, then he had been dropped from a plane and then was caught in an avalanche thanks to someone's love life. Not to mention, the entire time he had a nagging headache from the nightmare he had last night.
"Something wrong, buddy?" Owen, who was slightly in front of Noah as his team walked up the mountain to their next challenge, asked. "You've been holding your head for a while now."
"Well maybe it has something to do with the fact that we were just in an avalanche," Noah dryly remarked, shooting a glare at Tyler.
Tyler, who was right behind Noah, winced. "I said I was sorry," he protested.
Noah rolled his eyes. "Whatever, lover boy."
The jock just grinned sheepishly. "Yep that's me," he said proudly. "Lindsay finally remembered me!"
"Woo-hoo," Noah replied emotionlessly, before grimacing and clutching his head again.
"Um…" Owen blinked upon seeing Noah in pain. "Are you sure that's all?"
Noah sighed and rubbed his temples. "No," he admitted. "I had a strange dream last night."
"A dream?!" Izzy excitedly exclaimed from in front of Owen. Alejandro was farther away from Team Chris, hanging near Team Victory and Leshawna. "What kind of dream?"
"A dream," Noah answered flatly. "It wasn't exactly decipherable." The expression on his face became troubled. "I was in a fire watching two people fight. One of them lost and…" He hesitated. "The dream stops there," he lied.
"Wow…" Tyler blinked. "Sounds exciting."
Noah scowled. "Yeah. Exciting," he snapped.
"HUH!" Noah heard Owen gasp and looked up to see that the boy had somehow made it past Izzy and was near the top of the mountain. "Food!" Owen exclaimed, happily and, just as Noah and Tyler had reached the top with Izzy, fell to his knees in front of a pile of meat.
At least… Noah assumed it was meat. It was hard to tell with Chris sometimes.
"It's beautiful!" Owen fell face first into the pile and began to eat.
"Easy tiger," Chris said, walking up to Owen and getting him to stop eating.
Noah simply watched Chris, paying attention to the instructions, making a face when Chris showed off the track that they would be running. Finally, after what seemed like forever, Chef blew his horn and Chris yelled. "Go, go, go!" prompting the teams into action.
Team Chris is Really Really Really Really Hot all gathered by their grinder. Alejandro and Izzy hopped onto the top of it, as Izzy stuck her head in the large hole where the meat was supposed to be thrown in. "Ooooo!" she cried into the hole, making her voice echo.
Alejandro quickly grabbed her and looked at his teammates. "Tyler," he quickly said, assuming command. "We need your strength on the grinder. Owen pack that sausage like your life depends on it!"
Owen saluted. "Aye Aye captain!"
"Noah!" Alejandro glanced down at Noah. "You make sure that Izzy doesn't go near the grinder again!" He tossed her down to Noah, who had his arms outstretched to catch her. Just before Izzy reached him, he realized what a bad idea that was, as Izzy slammed her ass into her face.
"And there goes my pelvis…" Noah managed to croak out, just before he blacked out.
He woke up a few moments later and sat up to see his three other teammates still shoveling meat into the grinder. He looked around to find that the other two teams were still working, but Izzy was nowhere to be found. "Um… guys," he called out tentatively.
"What is it, Noah?" Alejandro asked, still focused on the meat.
"Izzy's gone," Noah pointed out simply.
Alejandro's eyes widened as he looked around for the girl. "Que Mierda," he muttered, before turning to Noah. "Go look for her then!"
Noah rolled his eyes. "Got it," he said without much enthusiasm, running off to the edge of the mountain. He glanced behind him to see that the camera crew wasn't following him, so it probably meant that he couldn't ask them for any help.
He sighed and stopped at the edge of the mountain to see that there were some footprints leading off to the east towards a large forest of the trees. Noah quickly glanced back at his team and the forest, judging the distance with his eyes. "Yeah," he muttered to himself, sliding down the slope to follow the footprints. "I think I can make it back pretty quickly."
He didn't have to run far to reach the forest, but the moment he entered he found it completely in the dark with only thin beams of light coming out from between the leaves. "Izzy?" he called out, walking forward, still following the footprints. "You there girl?" After he got no response, he coughed. "Come on Izzy, Owen misses you-!"
"Who are you?" A sudden voice came from the right of Noah, bringing him to halt. He quickly turned around to see a tall man of Indian descent glaring at him with narrowed eyes. He was wearing a thin light purple undershirt with white pants and white gloves. Along his left arm were some golden bangles and hanging from his waist were some strange white containers that looked like they had some arrows. In his hands was a large bow pointed straight at Noah.
"Woah!" Noah quickly held up his hands and backed away, terrified of being shot. "Don't shoot!"
The man didn't lower his bow and instead frowned. "You're a mage," he noted.
Noah blinked. "What?"
"Are you a part of this Holy Grail War?" he asked, his bow still pointed at Noah. "Where is your Servant?"
"I don't-!" Noah stiffened as the man suddenly pointed his bow in the air, as the air around them grew cold. Almost instinctively, he jumped to his right landing in a large snowbank just as something that looked like a giant bird flew right past him.
Noah popped his head out from under the snow and his eyes widened. What he could only describe as an angel had flown in from the sky and was currently in combat against the archer guy. The angel had a hood over her head so he couldn't see her face but in her hands was a large glowing lance and a small rounded shield attached to her left arm.
She jabbed her lance at the archer, who simply raised his bow and blocked the attack. He quickly jumped back and nocked an arrow. "Where's your Master?" he demanded, but without waiting for an answer he fired the shot.
The arrow sailed past the angel's face, but it caused her to pause. Both of them suddenly turned to Noah, who gulped. "Um… hi?"
The angel ignored the archer and flew at Noah, raising her lance in the air. Noah yelped and quickly scrambled to his feet before he began to run away. He could see that the archer wasn't following him. In fact, he had completely disappeared from his view. "What the heck is going-URK?!" He suddenly slammed into something hard and blacked out.
Xxx
"Noah… Noah…" Noah could hear a voice called out to him in his sleep. He tried to wave it away and go back to sleep. He had been having a nice dream for once-!
"Noah!" Noah felt a sharp pain on his head as if someone had hit him and his eyes flew open, to see that Izzy was inches away from his face. "I-Izzy?" he wondered aloud, glancing around to see that he was in her arms being carried bridal style back up the mountain and away from the forest. "Where…?" he started to ask a bit deliriously.
Izzy giggled. "I found you in the forest silly!" she explained. "You looked like you ran into a tree."
Noah blinked. "But… I saw two people," he tried to explain fruitlessly. "One had some sort of bow and the other had wings!"
"That sounds amazing!" Izzy exclaimed looking around. "Where are they?"
"They're…they're…" Noah held his head. "I guess… I might've just imagined the entire thing," he muttered to himself, just as Izzy made it back to the grinders and their teammates.
Noah looked at the other teams, before he checked on his own, to see that Team Victory were almost done while Team Amazon only had a small amount of their casing filled with Cody holding it. He couldn't help but laugh. "Cody's got a tiny sausage!" He laughed a little deliriously while pointing towards Team Amazon's sausage.
"At least my team has a sausage!" Cody shot back almost immediately.
Noah blinked and turned to his team's grinder to see that Owen had been eating all the meat that came out. Now the big guy looked like a sausage himself!
"Ugh…" Owen groaned. "Sooo spicy…" He burped.
"Dude?" Chris walked up to the team with a grin on his face. "That was raw meat. Not good!"
Alejandro scowled. "I have an idea," he said, the anger in his voice not going unnoticed by Noah. "We can ride Owen down the hill!"
"No way!" Courtney protested. "That's cheating. Forget it!"
"Owen has been stuffed with meat!" Chris contradicted. "I say he's fit for sausage duty!"
Alejandro's eyes quickly lit up. "Yes!" he cheered to himself, grinning.
By this time, Noah had finally gotten his bearings and had pushed himself out of Izzy's arms. His eyes widened when he noticed that Team Victory had almost filled their own sausage. "If we're going to do this then we'd better hurry," he said, pointing to Team Victory.
Alejandro nodded. "Everyone on!" he ordered. "I'll push him on."
Everyone on Team Chris, except Owen, nodded and quickly jumped on him. Alejandro quickly got behind him and began to push Owen towards the slope. "All aboard der wiener express!" Noah called out as they approached the slope.
Izzy laughed just as Alejandro pushed them of the edge and hopped on at the same time. "Yeah! Giddy up!" she cried.
Owen screamed as they slid down the slope. At the same time, Noah heard Chris shout something down to them as they were speeding away. "Um…" he said dryly, as Team Victory slid down on their own sausage. "Did he just say something about rabid mountain goats?"
A small baby goat jumped in the way of the two teams and roared, before jumping at all of them. They all screamed as the goat landed in DJ's arms. Noah didn't see what happened next as Owen sped away from Team Victory.
On the way down, Owen slammed into a couple of rocks but Noah didn't have time to think about it. He was too busy hanging on for his dear life.
Soon enough Owen slid through the finish line and began to head towards a large wooden platform. "Watch out!" Noah screamed, as the rest of his team also screamed in unison. Owen slammed headfirst into the wood and sent everyone flying. Noah landed roughly on his stomach onto the hard-packed snow.
He kinda just lied there while Chris explained the challenge. After about halfway, through his explanation, he joined his team, lined up near the wooden platform. Near the end, Chris tossed his team some lead helmets with metal spikes sticking out the topes. "Ugh!" Noah struggled to lift them. "These way a ton!"
"That they do," Chris agreed as he handed out the rest of the rewards. In the meantime, Noah was just trying to lift the helmet onto his head.
Once Chris's explanation was finished, they all climbed onto their dance boards, with Noah being one of the ones chosen to dance. He was in front of Cody, who was wearing the penalty lederhosen. "How are those hosen treating ya?" he asked with a chuckle. He had been making fun of Cody for most of the day and he wasn't about to stop now.
"It feels like someone gave my wedgie a wedgie," Cody complained.
Suddenly Chef blew his horn, startling the two. "Ow!" Noah cried, rubbing his head. "Do you mind? Headache over here."
Chef sneered. "Don't care," he said, before demonstrating the dance that they all had to perform.
Sierra latched on what to do instantly and she began to do her own dance to the beat, along with singing about Cody. "His butt is mine!" she finished pointing to the poor boy. Cody looked absolutely terrified.
"Wow," Noah said, as he began to dance. "Izzy might've finally met her match."
"I know right," Cody said miserably. "I wish I'd never have-!" He quickly clammed up.
Noah frowned. "What?"
Cody sighed. "Nothing," he said. "Forget it."
Noah would've probably pressed the issue if he hadn't heard Alejandro complimenting Leshawna. "What with you and Leshawna?" he asked him. "Giving the enemy a pep talk? Not cool."
"Very perceptive, my brilliant teammate," Alejandro said a compliment that Noah didn't buy for a second. "I'm working an angle that may benefit our team."
Noah was suspicious but was interrupted by Owen exclaiming, "I don't feel so hot…" and then getting shocked.
Soon enough the challenge started and Noah found himself up against Leshawna. He slapped her once, feeling a little proud of himself once she had gotten shocked. However that feeling quickly dissipated, as she suddenly pulled out some random dancing moves and kicked him off the dance floor. He screamed as he fell but luckily landed in a small snowbank which broke his fall.
"Ow…." He moaned. Well, it still hurt.
He joined Izzy and Tyler on the sidelines and soon Owen joined them, carrying the cooked sausage he had just barfed up. Why he didn't just throw it away, Noah didn't really know.
He watched the challenge eagerly as Alejandro was up against Sierra and Heather was against Leshawna. He didn't really understand what had happened, but a second later Leshawna was on the ground beating up Heather and Sierra had kicked Alejandro off of his platform. Noah frowned. To him it looked like Alejandro had taken a dive, but… well, he wasn't sure.
"Team Amazon wins!" Chris announced pointing towards Sierra.
As Sierra fell asleep on her platform, Noah confronted Alejandro. "Dude, seriously, what happened?" he asked.
"Heather sacrificed herself to distract me," Alejandro explained. "And her brilliant plan worked! I am most disappointed in myself."
Honestly, Noah didn't really buy it, but they were at least saved from elimination this round, as Leshawna had been the one to fall off the platform before Alejandro.
Still… he couldn't shake the nagging feeling he had about all of this.
Xxx
Everyone had been finally taken back to the plane after the challenge and Team Victory had been declared the losers, though it had yet to take off yet. However, Heather had cornered Alejandro. "I think you took a dive back there," she accused him. "And I want to why."
Alejandro merely smiled and crossed his arms. "And I think you took one too many slaps to the head."
"Ha!" Heather scoffed. "I know you're up to something."
Alejandro placed a hand under Heather's chin and lifted it up so they could see eye to eye. "Do you know how beautiful you look with that missing tooth? It really brings out the anger in your eyes."
"You!" Heather hissed. "That is so… Urrrghhhh!" She walked away angrily from him, her hands at her sides.
Meanwhile, Noah, who had just finished up a couple of his confessionals, walked up to Owen to see that he was chowing down on a steaming sausage. "Please tell me that's not the same sausage that you threw up," Noah said dully, as Owen gave him a guilty look in the middle of his chewing and Heather walked past trying not to barf.
"Noah!" Both Owen and Noah looked away from the sausage in surprise to see Chris walk into the compartment.
"Me?" Noah asked, pointing to himself.
Chris rolled his eyes. "Yes, you." He waved in a crew member who was carrying a small crate. The guy walked towards Noah and deposited the crate right into his arms, before leaving without a word.
Noah struggled with the weight for a second, before readjusting himself. "Um, what's this?" he scowled at Chris.
"I need you to move the equipment in the box into the cargo hold of the plane," Chris instructed, pointing towards the box in question. "Before we take off again, preferably."
"Um…" Noah raised an eyebrow. "Why do you suddenly want me to do this? Why not ask some of your numerous interns."
Chris's right eyebrow twitched. "Well thanks to Tyler," he said with a pained smile. "I've lost some interns in that avalanche to injuries, so I'm short some hands. And since you're the first person on that team that I noticed, you're going to do it. Unless you want to be kicked off the plane?"
Noah rolled his eyes. "Fine," he grunted, as he began to head towards the cargo hold.
Owen got up. "I can help!" he offered.
"Don't worry about it," Noah quickly assured Owen. "You just keep eating your… food and I'll be right back." Truth be told, he just didn't want to be with Owen in an enclosed space after seeing him eat that sausage. He was already not looking forward to sitting next to him in economy class.
"Okay…" Owen sat back down reluctantly, as Chris walked away without even thanking Noah.
Xxx
It only took Noah a little while to get into the cargo hold and by the time that he got there, there wasn't anyone inside. He looked around, trying to not let the nervousness show on his face. "Hello? Anyone there?" he called out just to check. He heard some skittering in the corner, which he chalked up to rats. Chris was never too keen on keeping vermin out if economy class was any indication.
Since Chris didn't give him any instruction on where to put the box, he just placed it carefully in the middle of the room, next to some other boxes. He let out a sigh and turned to leave, only to pause once - out of the corner of his eye – he noticed something shiny and red on the ground.
His curiosity piqued, Noah pushed aside some other boxes so that he could create a space where he could see it fully and blinked. He groaned. "Of course, Chris would have something like this here," he muttered, as he stared at a large pentagram drawn with, at least what looked like, red paint. "Probably wants to summons some sort of demon for the next challenge," he chuckled to himself, as he stepped forwards so that he was right in front of the circle, to get a better look at it.
"He was right to place a guard here."
Noah's eyes widened and he whirled around to see something that he never expected to see. A man wearing heavy gold and purple armor was standing in front of him, with a large dark purple sword brandished towards Noah's face. He had purple hair and thin purple eyes, which were currently suspiciously glaring at Noah.
Noah quickly raised his hands, just because it seemed like the right thing to do in that situation. "This… this is just another hallucination right?" he asked the man. "Like what happened in the forest?"
The man frowned and moved his sword forward so that it grazed Noah's cheek. Noah felt something hot where the sword touched and something run down his face and drip onto the ground. The boy's eyes widened.
Oh, so it was real.
At that moment, Noah could feel his legs shaking.
The man's head tilted to the right. "What should I do, Master?" he asked, though the question didn't seem like it was directed at Noah, but rather someone else. The man's eyes closed. "Of course. As you wish."
"So uh…" Noah said his mind racing. "Can I go now?"
"Sorry." The man shook his head and raised his sword above his head. "I truly dislike doing this, but it is what my master has ordered of me."
"Eep!" Noah squeaked out rather lamely, as he tried to take a step back and only managed to get tangle his feet and fall the ground, right on top of the pentagram.
A pinprick of fuzzy pain danced around his palm and suddenly the world seemed to slow.
HuMAn. ArE yoU to be My mAstEr?!
"Huh?" Noah could only say to the voice that was echoing in his head.
PaTHetic. YOu arE nAUgHt bUt an inSigNiFiCAnt spEck of a hUman aRen't You?
VEry weLl.
Do You wAnt tO liVe?
"Y-yes," Noah managed to choke out.
GoOd.
ToGeTher, we sHall bEcoMe the raVagErs of thiS Holy Grail War.
Time returned to normal and, for a second, Noah wondered if he was dead. However, there was no pain save for a slight burning sensation on his left hand. He looked down just in time to see a red tattoo appear on his left hand.
Suddenly he heard the noise of armor shifting and he looked back at the man to see him backing away from him, but staring at a point above his head, cautiously.
Noah looked up.
A small fire was suspended in the air burning brightly and sending embers out. Noah watched as a thin arm reached out of nowhere, making the air ripple around it. The hand gripped the mask and seemed to push against it as, very slowly, a head pulled itself out of thin air. Soon a torso followed, then arms and then legs, before finally a large sword was drawn out. The person landed in front of Noah, holding their sword in front of them by its blue hilt. With a chill, Noah realized that the back of the blade had been outfitted with bones.
The person, themselves, didn't look all that imposing at first glance. She – Noah was pretty sure it was a she given the long blonde hair and body figure – was pretty short, only looking like she came up to Noah's shoulders. Her face was hidden behind flames, but extending out from her head were two curved black horns. Her hands and feet were equally monstrous, both of which were a blood-red color and had sharp black claws extending out from each finger and toe. She was wearing a yellow dress that Noah recognized as a kimono with intricate floral pattern. It hung loosely from her shoulders and revealed a white undershirt that hid her modesty. The most amazing thing about her were the flames that hung off her elbows, bathing everything in the cargo hold in a beautiful orange and yellow light.
"Hmph," the man stiffened. "To think that someone would be able to summon a servant without a chant…" He fell silent for a couple of seconds warily eyeing the girl's sword. "You cannot be of class Saber," he deduced, but of what Noah had no idea. "I'm of class Saber. What is your class warrior?"
Instead of answering, the girl suddenly swung the sword at the man's face. However, the man simply raised his own sword to block it, sending embers flying the moment their blades clashed. Some of the embers landed on some of the wooden boxes and they began to smoke.
"Berserker, then?" the man surmised, giving the girl a look. Again, instead of answering the girl began to wail on him, swing her weapon erratically. The man was on the defense, but easily parrying each strike.
Noah smelled smoke and looked around to see that most of the equipment inside the cargo hold had caught on fire. The box he had brought it, fell over and broke apart, scattering the rocks that were inside.
Their fight paused in the midst of the fire that was slowly overtaking the cargo hold. They both seemed at an impasse and both of them had realized it. The man's eyes flashed and he placed his sword in front of him. "Arrive at the farthest end," he whispered to himself, as his weapon began to glow. "Cross the boundary-!" He stopped suddenly and the glow faded. "As you wish, Master." With those words, he disappeared into gold dust.
The girl had stayed. Both Noah and her were in the middle of a blazing fire. She suddenly turned to him and, with a wave of her hand, the fire that had covered her face suddenly dissipated. He could see her face now and see that she actually looked rather young, maybe three or four years younger than him. She had yellow eyes with small red markings below them. She also was wearing some small black marbles as earrings.
"So," she said haughtily, giving Noah a look of disdain. "You are to be my master, huh?" She smirked and placed a hand on her chest. "Fine, then. You may call me Berserker."
And that's when it all clicked for Noah.
The pentagram. The horns. The monstrous hands and feet.
He had just summoned a demon.
For the third time that day, Noah blacked out.
Trivia

Welcome to my newest fanfiction of Total Drama, Total Drama Fate.
Edit(1/18/19): Everything past this point was written when I first posted this story primarily on the Total Drama section and I didn't label it as a crossover. However, after reviewing my story notes and disagreeing with my statement when I first posted this chapter, I've decided to move it. Everything in italics are things that only referenced where this story was originally.
For those of you unaware, this is a crossover with the Fate series that is comprised of such shows like Fate/stay night, Fate/Zero, Fate/Apocrypha and Fate/Extra just to name a few. The Fate universe is vast and there are a lot of works(trust me, most of the planning for this story was me scoring wiki pages). Unfortunately, I am by no means an expert of this universe and as much research as I can do, I'm sure there are going to be some mistakes I make along the way.
However, I have decided to post this in the Total Drama section and here is my explanation why. Like Total Danganronpa before it, I've decided to make this story very separate from what its crossover with. Meaning that there is no need to have an extensive knowledge about Fate to enjoy this story. In fact, it would probably be better if you knew nothing of Fate since some of the twists and reveals might not be as impactful if you already have some understanding of this universe.
This is first and foremost a Total Drama story which is why it is taking place during a canon season of Total Drama instead, which would probably be easier, some sort of AU. I want to tie it into something that people in this fandom already knew a lot about and honestly, World Tour is still probably my favorite season of the bunch.
So to reiterate, you DO NOT need a huge understanding of Fate to enjoy this story and it is why I'm mainly posting this in the normal Total Drama archive. However, if there's some criticism of this, I'll gladly move this over to the crossover section of the site.
Now that's all said and done, let me tell you… I'm incredibly excited about this story. This first chapter was a lot of fun to write and I'm trying to write shorter chapters because they end up being faster for me to write. Add in the fact that I'm basically copying down what occurs in the episode only in Noah's POV and it is a lot easier to write. My goal for word count in this chapter is to be between 2k and 5k words because I can write them faster. There might be a chapter or two that goes above, but that's my goal for this story. Writing 14k chapters can be quite draining for me.
Anyway onto the content of the chapter itself… I've already revealed four Servants that are planned to be in the story(six if you count the two in the dream). Again, you could probably just do an easy google search an figure out who they all are, but try to keep who they are out of the reviews, please. I really want to have some fun reveals on who they are.
Also, warnings, going to be some swearing, violence and most importantly… character deaths. And there are going to be some character deaths that certainly piss people off.
No word on pairings yet, I'm keeping that a secret for now, but there surely be some.
Reviews and constructive criticism are appreciated. Given how quickly I finished this chapter I want to have review replies in each chapter, since its something I've always wanted to do!
