Part 1.
Disclaimer: I do not own either Gundam or F\SN. I write just for fun.

Rin finished the summoning incantation and heard something crash through the roof into one of rooms nearby.
She ran there and with her heart beating faster than usual she opened the door.
There she saw a girl lying on the wrecked furniture she landed on. She was around twenty years old, with long red hair and yellow eyes on a Western looking face. Her clothing consisted from a red bodysuit that covered her entire body and reminded Tohsaka about suits that were used by pilots of fighter planes.
-
"Ow, ow, ow. That sure was a rough landing." said the newcomer as she pulled herself out of the wreckage and started to rub her sore spots. When she was done, she turned to Rin and said with a mischievous smile.
"Thanks for bringing me here. Now I can do what I wanted. But first I need to borrow some clothes from you."
That speech momentarily confused Tohsaka and she managed to concentrate only when her Servant asked her where her room was and walked to the door.
"You are not here to do what you want. I brought you here so you would help win the Holy Grail War. Now tell me your name and Class."
The girl in question stopped in the doorway and frowned.
"Nena Trinity. My Class is Rider, but call me Pilot instead of that archaic name. And I'm not here to fight for you, so stop bossing me around."
"Why are you here then? Don't you have a dream that you wish for Grail to grant for you?" asked Rin, more than surprised that her Servant was about to abandon her. However soon her surprise turned into shame driven anger.
Nena put her finger to her chin as she briefly thought and answered.
"I have, but I know the cities where ancestors of the bastards that killed my brothers live and it's a lot more fun to kill them with my own hands."
"Then I have no choice." said Rin and a crimson flash engulfed her right hand.
-
Tohsaka walked to the school with invisible Rider nearby and suddenly heard a metallic 'click' from behind. She hastily turned around and saw that the clicking sound came from the safety on the pistol that Nena took out.
"Stop it." hissed Rin, hoping that nobody will notice her Servant, but the redhead only licked her lips in anticipation and aimed at the pair that was walking not far away.
Rin saw that once again she had no choice, but opted to remind Rider about the power she held over her Servant. She lifted her hand and said.
"By the power of the Command Seal."
These words, even though they weren't backed up by the power of the spell, had an immediate effect and the other girl took her finger off the trigger. Nena put the safety back on and pouted as she holstered her weapon.
"Why do they get to have so much fun? It's unfair."
"Rider." started the young magus, her voice growing colder as she spoke. "Never appear before non-magi without my permission. It's one of the basic rules of the Holy Grail War. And next time you'll want to kill a passer-by, I will use a Command."
Nena, who grew bored at the very start of the speech, asked as she looked around.
"So why do I have to follow you to school, wasting the time I could spend on my plan?"
Rin clenched her fist in irritation, cursing the luck that brought her that unbearable Servant, and answered.
"We will stay here until the evening when the school becomes empty, because I can sense that someone is watching us. Also if we meet an enemy today, I want to fight them in a place of my choosing."
"So… Can I summon my Throne and demolish a few buildings to lure all of the other Servants out, so I could crush them? Then I'll be free."
"I won't allow it. And you shouldn't underestimate your enemies." came a stern response.
"I'll use a harmless lightshow for a lure. Do you agree now?"
Her Master sighed and declined. She had no idea what 'Throne' Rider was talking about, but she doubted that Nena could defeat all of enemy Servants at once even if she was the strongest Servant that Rin wished for.
The redhead in a matching bodysuit looked at Rin with a pleading expression, but was once again ignored by the brunette.
"Why do I have a girl for a Master. It's no fun." muttered Rider before she became invisible and followed her Master to the school.
-
On the school's rooftop, empty because classes were still in session, appeared a redheaded girl in a red form fitting bodysuit.
"Wait for me on the rooftop and stay away from everyone, she said." grumbled Nena and walked to the chain link fence that surrouded the roof.
"I'll just block the door and take a sunbath here. You didn't say that I had to be invisible, did you?" said Nena and showed her tongue to the mental image of an angry Rin.
She put her hands on the fence and abruptly pulled it as hard as she could. To her surprise, the metal in her hands instantly snapped and she had hop back to keep her balance. The redhead looked at the bundle of bent wires she tore from the fence and grinned like a predator.
"I'll tear those bastards apart with my bare hands. I won't even need my Throne for that.".
-
Nena's rest was intruded by something that kept buzzing like an annoying fly and chipped away her sleep.
Slowly, as she woke up, the buzzing became a voice of her 'Master'.
"Rider, unlock the door or come here. It's evening now."
"I'm going. Stop yelling in my head already!" answered Nena as she got up, leisurely stretched and went to unblock the door.
The second that the door was opened, Rin walked to the fence and started to nervously scan everything below, surprising Rider with her reaction.
"He's here. I can feel it."
-
"It's a good night, isn't it?" said a male voice, causing both girls to look at the source: a man about thirty years old with short black hair, red eyes and long earrings. He wore a blue leather armor that allowed him to move without a noise or hindrance.
"Who are you?" asked Nena, putting her hand on her pistol.
"I think you should know that already, unless you weren't faking your sleep while I was watching you. It was quite a view, but don't expect me to hold back." With these words a red spear materialized in his hand and.
"If you want to fight all out, I need my armor first." said Nena and willed for Throne Drei to appear, ignoring Lancer who seemed to be anticipating the upcoming battle.
-
"Throne Drei." whispered the redhead when, with a deafening crash, a red metal, humanoid looking, colossus appeared in the school yard below with what looked like its back towards the building.
Nena jumped over the fence and briefly landing on the metal shoulder, she disappeared behind the giant.
Seconds later, black radiators on the mech's back started to emit streams of red colored sparks and it turned around with surprising grace for it size. Without any delay, a huge metal fist rose and smashed into the building, putting a sizeable hole into the wall and roof.
"Tch… I mean you should go to a safer place, Master." said Rider when she saw that Rin stepped too far back when she saw the 'Throne', to get hit.
Lancer who looked at enormous 'mount' before him with curiosity, said before he attacked.
"I don't know what enemy you fought with, but with all respect to the armorsmith who created this wonder, it's ill-suited to fight here."
-
'Even that close her presence is concealed by that fairy dust.' thought Lancer as he stood on the armor's shoulder and looked balefully at red energy particles that came from its back.
'This armor is a coward's way to fight.' thought the Servant bending the metal beneath him with a furious stab and jumped back to the school's roof. When he landed, his spear began to glow.
"That won't save you from me. Your heart is mine!"
-
Nena laughed at his speech and aimed a black barreled device, placed on her Throne's right arm, at Lancer. When it fired a crimson beam, the other Servant lifted his weapon and shouted "Gae Bolg." before he hurled it at his target.
The cursed spear met the beam head-on, dimmed slightly as it passed through and the Throne barely managed to lift its left hand in a desperate attempt to block, before a big explosion enveloped its massive frame.
"What?!" exclaimed Lancer, when he saw that his spear struck the armor's glowing "heart" instead of his enemy.
"In the Lugh's name! Who forged that damned thing?! A demigod?"
Suddenly, his attention snapped away from Nena's mech and he leaped to one of the school buidings.
-
"He'll die for doing that to my Gundam." shouted Nena and furiously smashed her fist into the unpowered control panel.
-
Almost a minute passed before the mech's engine reformed and when red particles once again flew from its radiators, Rin sighed with relief.
But her sigh was cut short when the Throne turned to the building that Lancer ran into and blasted it with several shots.
"Rider, stop. And get me down from here."
"Get down on your own!" snapped Nena as she continued to destroy the buildings on school grounds.
Rin, seething with anger, snapped back.
"You'll get me to the ground safely now! And then hide, unless you want to be turned into a mindless doll!"
The metal colossus paused and few seconds later, turned to the ruined school. It reached the roof with its hand and when Rin jumped on it, the makeshift elevator smoothly rode her to the ground.

Born and raised to become a Gundam Meister, pilots of unique mechs that were tasked to stop all of the wars on Earth, she and her brothers were betrayed by their creators when Earth's nations joined their forces against Meisters. She escaped to safety, but her brothers were killed.
Several years later, she tried to take her revenge on the ones that killed her brothers and all who worked with them, but fell into a trap. A moment before the hopeless battle came to its end, the world she was born in, made a contract with her, as a reward for saving the man that would become the first member of a race that had potential to create Earth's Ultimate One.

"A conflict is detected and an armed intervention is authorized." said the brown haired woman, who was the leader here, on the ship called 'Celestial Being.'
Those who would fight nodded and left the room.
A young man with tanned skin, short white hair and clad in red leather with a long red coat and a black armor that protected his torso, entered the empty launch bay.
He faced the bay's doors and started an incantation.
When he finished, metal began appearing all around him, lifting and completely hiding him from view as it grew in mass.
Soon, a Gundam stood in the bay, ready for the mission.
Shiro, dressed in a pilot's suit, walked to his mech and when he finished with his helmet, he slipped inside into the Gundam that Archer created and powered while Shiro powered Archer himself.
"You're too soft. Complete this mission fully." came the voice of his older self who controlled the mech's surveillance and navigation systems as an onboard AI.
"Yes, I know." answered Shiro, remembering that only he aimed to cripple enemy vehicles, instead of destroying them and added.
"Don't try to take away controls again, I'm the pilot."
"Only when we both agree on it." retorted the AI and grew silent.
