Clash of the Slashers

Fate Apocrypha

Reika and Jack walked happily down one of the sidewalks of Trifas, enjoying there night of killing. Reika looks into the bag she has slung over her shoulder and smiles at the four human hearts kept in containers as to not spill or spoil. She looks from the bag to the assassin who meets her gaze.

"We did really well tonight."

Jack smiles brightly and gives a happy "mmm!" as they continue on there way to the apartment they are hiding out in. She was pleased that her mother was happy and she was really happy to find a mother like her. She squeezed Reikas' hand a little tighter as they made their way home for the night.

(Vlad's Castle)

The servants of black sat around a conference table as Vlad went over there new found knowledge of the enemy servants they had discovered. Apparently, it was quite the line up as everyone at the table listened attentively except for one. Caster sat reliving the past, his features hidden by the bandages and aviator goggles that he wore. He could still hear the screams of people running through the streets yelling his name to warn others. As if it did them any good, he terrorized a whole town and then the world until they finally killed him but now he had a second chance. He clenched his gloved hand hard in excitement at the thought of regaining his throne of fear until something was brought up in their conversation of note.

"The terror of Britain, Jack the Ripper..."

He whipped his head to attention immediately. "What did you just say?!" He watched as there appointed leader was slightly taken aback by the sudden outburst and the others around the table either jumped or turned to him in interest.

Vlad narrowed his eyes at there caster, not appreciating the outburst but was glad to see he had his attention now. "Glad that you're finally taking an interest in the discussion, I was just letting everyone know that the assassin on our side is Jack the Ripper. The murderer that terrorized Britain and caused mass panic through the streets..." He was cut off as Caster slammed his fist onto the table causing the giant oak table to fracture and crumble around him.

Caster rose and his anger was at an all-time high, higher even when he was betrayed by Kemp. "So someone thinks they can come in and take my throne when I'm gone do they?" He calmed himself before he made enemies out of all the people in the room and ending up dead most likely considering his company. "Well, I'll just have to find this pretender and show them what real fear is. My Reign of Fear is eternal and Britain is mine." He laughed darkly as he exited the room his thick black trench coat swaying in the wind as he left. In the hallway, he turned his head to the young boy who summoned him, "come, boy, we have work to do" not stopping to address him fully. He heard him running after him as he began thinking of a way to lure this Jack the Ripper out. Not turning his head he addressed the boy again, "I want you to find out everything there is to know about this Jack the Ripper, we will be paying them a visit soon."

In the conference room, the remaining people sat silently as they looked from one to another, waiting for someone to speak. Vlad was the one to break the silence first. "Do any of you know Caster's true identity? When all he got was shakes of the head he sighed. This is supposed to be a team effort and they now have a serial killer running amock cutting peoples hearts out and there Caster apparently wants to kill them for some sense of honor or throne of fear. He entertained the thought of killing caster now and letting Ruler or the other faction handle their rampant assassin but dismissed it. He beckoned a homunculus over, waiting for it to come to his side. " Find out everything there is to know about our Caster and Jack the Ripper, we may need to cut them loose before things go too far."

(Casters Lab)

He worked hurriedly at his wooden brewing table, adjusting the burners and mixing solutions. His master sat behind him at a table with several notebooks and plans scattered about, kicking his legs on the stool as he watched him work. His trench coat and fedora hung on clothes rack off in the corner of the room, the candle on his table casting a reddish-orange glow on the black goggles. He wore a black shirt with two belts strapped across him horizontally one above by a couple of inches. Each belt had small loops to hold vials which he filled as he completed them, sliding them into their place where they sat snug and didn't move much or at all when he did.

"Whatcha doin Caster?" He didn't know much about his Servant other then he was strong and was from the past. He also promised to share the world with him when he won this war and got his wish.

"We are going to fight Assassin boy, to do that we need to smoke him or her out of hiding." He poured a large beaker of a green liquid into a large metal sphere with wires and a clock attached to it. He loved being reborn as a Servant his skills amplified by the grail and his goal within reach again once all these pests have been dealt with. "They will regret ever crossing the Invisible Man!" His dark laughter filling the halls of the castle and sending shivers down the spines of the otherwise stationary homunculus patroling the halls.

(Abandoned Apartment)

Jack gulped down the last bit of heart on her plate as she licked her lips and the fork clean.

Reika took the plate and placed it in the sink. "You sure are hungry tonight, would you like seconds." She smiles and looks over to Jack at the table only to frown when she was staring intently out the window. "Is something wrong Jack?"

Jack finally broke her gaze from the window and smiled darkly at Reika. "Better save the desert Momma, things are going to get fun soon, we can feel it." She turned back to the window, lightning cracking in the sky and casting light on Jacks evil grin.

Reika new Jack long enough now that when she referred to herself as "we" she means business. "Well then, I suggest we stalk up so you can be super strong that way we can have fun too." She walked over and ran her hand Jacks white hair and planted a kiss on her head. She made her way to the bed and climbed in patting next to her on the bed. "Let's go to bed Jack, we've got a lot of killing to do tomorrow so we need to be well rested."

Jack turned her head and gave a happy "mmm!" as she ran over and jumped in the bed and snuggled under the covers. She blew out the candle and they slept, ready to face the new threat Jack felt.

(Inn)

Ruler sat at the desk in front of the mirror brushing her hair out. Tomorrow she would need to come to a decision about what to do about Jack the Ripper. These random murders are not something that is supposed to happen in the holy grail war and yet they seem to be throwing caution to the wind and are just murdering where ever they go. They must be stopped, tomorrow she will bring all the Servants of the war together at a neutral place and request there help in stopping the assassin before this gets worse. Lightning flashed in the sky causing her to look out the window. Something in the back of her mind just told her that things were going to become much worse.

Authors Note: Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to a clash like no other. Two iconic figures of horror and fear facing off for the belt and only one walks out alive.

Reign of Fear ?

Paranoia EX: Passive skill that affects all targets in an area around The Invisible Man, makes targets start hearing things and become paranoid at every little sound, lowering their defense and Death resistance. The Invisible Man also gains additional Agility and a boost to Strength when Reign of Fear is active.

Chemical Shift E: After Reign of Fear is over his growing insanity as well as the chemicals used to turn himself invisible lower his Defense, Endurance, Magic, as well as losing rational thought. While in this state, most would devolve into Berserker type mentality but with his vast knowledge of science and being well educated and exposed to the chemicals for so long he is able to still speak and gains Madness Enhancement C temporarily until Chemical Shift wears off.

As always I'd like to thank you all for reading and reviewing my fics, this isn't going to be an especially long one but one I thought would be cool and decided to bring to you guys to enjoy.
