Author's Notes: a crossover fanfic between BlazBlue and Fate Stay Night.
BlazBlue has tons of references to the "Nasuverse". In fact, BlazBlue is Arc Systems Work's version of Melty Blood and Fate Stay Night, combined. So, crossovers between these series is actually normal.
The plot is focused on the canon storyline of BlazBlue, but it also has some focus on the canon storyline of Fate Stay Night as well. So, this may contain spoilers.
Pairings: Jin X Saber, Jin X Rin, Ragna X Noel. Hints of Jin X Tsubaki, Ragna X Rachel and Shirou X Sakura

Chapter 1 – Dispatched in darkest hour
The time has come.
Seven Magicians will participate.
These "Masters" will employ the use of familiars from seven separate classes called "Servants" and cross swords with each other for the one and only Holy Grail.
That is…
The war for the Holy Grail.
13th Hierarchal City: Kagutsuchi – Military Academy
The hallways of the Military Academy illuminated the transparent, glossy floors as an elegant young man walked on it's marble beauty with utter unfazed expression, guided by numerous lines of bright candle lights as his footsteps echoes through the hallway.
The young man looked on the familiar doors leading to the dormitories designing the hallways. Even after about a year since he graduated, and even after that bloody war, not a single thing changed. The candles, the marble floor, the glowing runes, the windows, the numerous doors, the sounds of nearby trees, the sounds of his own footsteps. Nothing changed.
Once again, he had been ordered by the higher-ups of the Novus Orbis Librarium to go to the Military Academy to put him on another mission. But since the meeting is in the Academy, the mission must be mixed with academic decisions.
The young man let out a brief sigh of relief as he reached the rather big door that serves as the entrance to the conference room. Truth be told, it's tiring to walk all the way from his office inside the NOL headquarters to this place.
He slowly opened the door. Revealing the whole council of the NOL and the Military Academy. All seated formally in a large table. Waiting for him.
"Ahh… Major Jin Kisaragi. Knight of the NOL, and the legendary Hero of Ikaruga. We've been expecting you. Please, have a seat so we can start."
Jin felt awkward in his current state. He has been long used to these kinds of meeting. But the feeling of awkwardness of him being only in his early 20's, while the men seated before him are probably twice or even thrice his age didn't get to be easily ignored. Yet, he is respected and admired just as much as them.
Jin ignored what he was feeling, and humbly greeted them.
"I am very honored, sir. Major Jin Kisaragi reporting, sir. I'm very sorry for my tardiness."
Taking a seat, Jin readies himself for any signs of his next mission.
"First, let me give thanks to our Lord God. Who gave us this opportunity to meet together. And for giving our young hero such a great blessing."
For Jin, this is a familiar gesture. He began to stand up and watched as the other councils stood up just the same.
All of them placed their fists on their chests, and closed their eyes. Just like honorable Knights.
God of heaven and earth. Our Father who art in heaven. We humbly give thanks to you. For giving us such blessings and for you giving us incomparable lives. We are not worthy to be by your side. For we are sinners, who are nothing but dirt before your feet. But oh, Father. You're kindness is incomparable to anyone. We are sinners, yet you have forgiven us and rescued us from death itself. The least we can do, is pass peace and judgement in honor of your holy name.
We thank you Father, for hearing the pleas of your servants. We are indebted to you. Now and forever.
Amen.
Once the prayer is over, they took their seats. The briefing started immediately, afterwards.
"Major… We have received news from the Imperator Librarius that another War is going to be initiated somewhere in the outskirts of the hierarchal cities."
Jin just nodded at that statement. He didn't care who said the statements. All he cares about was the mission.
"And what kind of War is it, sir?"
"The records of this War is in some books in the Military Academy. Major. In your days here in the Academy through the past years, you are a constant Valedictorian, a model student, and you are so skillful and talented that you are the head of the student council, you also have the looks of a beautiful angel. Because of these traits, I'm sure you know some records of this War. A War the happens once every ten years."
Jin didn't really paid attention to the compliments. He had read many books in his Military Academy days. He recalled something about a War that happens once every ten years. He didn't paid full attention to that record, either. But, he has to make sure.
"Yes, sir. I have read some records of it. This war may happen outside or inside of the hierarchal cities. It's a war of Masters and Servants. The Holy Grail War."
"Correct. It's a war that only the most strongest will win. The Imperator Librarius confirmed to us that the place where it will broke out is in Fuyuki City in Japan."
Jin closed his eyes, and tried thinking. Although, it is completely useless. Again, he will be participating in another war. Just the thought of it makes his stomach churn. But as always, he doesn't have the right to complain. As the orders of the Novus Orbis Librarium are absolute.
"It's the duty of the NOL to keep peace in this world. Even if we have to kill to attain that peace. We must put an end to any conflicts. Because of this Holy Grail War, many innocent people are already dying. The weapons used to kill the victims appeared to be Swords, Spears and the like."
"I understand, sir."
"Major. Your next mission is to put an end to this so-called Holy Grail War and attain peace. We cannot allow this War to continue happening. Otherwise, many more innocent people will die. Since you are gifted with the cold magic powers of ice using your Nox Nyctores: Yukianesa, even without a "Servant", you have a chance of stopping this war."
Jin nodded at what the older man said.
"Major. You are a very accomplished Knight of the NOL. Your achievements in battle are legendary. Therefore, we cannot hand this dangerous mission to anyone else other than you."
"I understand, sir."
"But, Major. You cannot put an end to this War without acquiring any information. Therefore, we have prepared a form for you to be a student at one of the schools in Fuyuki City."
The older man waved a hand and a soldier passed him a paper. And he handed it to Jin. He can completely make out the words "Homurabara Gakuen – Private School" on the header.
"Major. You are to be disguised as one of the students in that school. Because of your youthful looks, no one will know that you are from the NOL. The reason is because the Imperator Librarius have spotted that some of the participants of the Holy Grail War is attending in that same school. It is a perfect opportunity for you to gather information. We have already informed your family regarding this matter, and asked them to give you a proper housing facility in Fuyuki City during your stay there."
"Also, to avoid any suspicion. You cannot bring anyone with you. Even if it's your direct subordinate."
Jin felt a sigh of relief at that. Good thing he doesn't have to bring that piece of thrash along.
Jin read the rest of the document, and it is proper enough for him to be a student in that school. He puts the paper down. His face stoic and unfazed.
"I understand, sir. I, Major Jin Kisaragi, Knight of the Novus Orbis Librarium, humbly accept this mission."
"We thank you, Major Jin Kisaragi. This council meeting is now over. Once again, let us give thanks to our Lord God."
Once again, all of them stood up and placed their fists on their chests, and closed their eyes. Preparing for their closing prayer.
God of heaven and earth. Our Father who art in heaven. We humbly give thanks to you. This crucial meeting could never have been possible without you. We thank you for giving us wisdom on this very day. And as we leave this place, guide us with your light of faith and love. Let no works of darkness come in our way.
We also would like to ask of you. Oh, holy Father. Please, watch over our finest Knight, Jin Kisaragi. He will need every strength, guidance and protection he can get.
We thank you Father, for hearing the pleas of your servants. We are indebted to you. Now and forever.
Amen.
"You are dismissed, Major."
Jin bowed his head. And walked forward to the exit. His hand stopped at the doorknob. And he stayed there for a few seconds.
"Is something wrong, Major?"
He heard one of the councils. Noticing his rather paralyzed form.
"Nothing is wrong, sir. Please, forgive me for spacing out."
He proceeded to open the door and took his leave. Once outside, he looked at the windows. Seeing the bright sunlight illuminate the trees with it's rays. Birds are chirping. And a sudden blow of air gently caressed his face.
"Hmph…"
He proceeded to think about the Holy Grail War. This war is very new to him. And he remembered reading that the winner will gain any wish they want. But for Jin, wishes are completely useless. He doesn't have anything to wish for, anyway.
He'll just do whatever he can to stop this so-called war, and then get back to normal.
Jin let out a rather sly smile as he walked outside of the Academy towards the NOL headquarters.
Fuyuki City – Kotomine Church
"I command thee…"
With her eyes closed, focusing on the ritual she was performing, she raised a hand and continued to chant words to summon her own Servant.
Rin Tohsaka wants to be able to summon Saber. The strongest of the Servants.
"Thou shall come forth to my side. Thy sword shall control my fate. Abiding by the Holy Grail's Haven. If though accepts to this will and reason, then answer me. The oath set forth here. I am the embodiment of good in the eternal world. I am the disposer of evil in the eternal world. Thee, the seven heavens that bear the great trinity. Come forth for the circle of constraint."
With those words, the magical rune below her lifted up to her body with a glowing red light. As if the rune has a mind of it's own.
"Oh, guardian of the balance!"
The magical rune dissolved in a bright red light covering the whole room in a bright red glow.
"I have, without a doubt, drawn the best card I could."
With utter confidence, she emitted those words. She was distracted by a loud noise nearby, making her fall back and landed in her butt. The sound is coming from the main room in the church, as if something has fallen from the sky.
"… What?"
With that, she ran as fast as she could to the direction of the sound. The sound seems to came from the main door to the preaching room. She tried to open the door, but it was stuck fast because of how old it is. She pushed hard atleast three times before the door finally opened. Revealing a somewhat tall, white-haired and a rather dark-skinned man, wearing a long red dress-coat and a tight black suit underneath.
"My, my… I… Sure got picked by a wonderful Master."
He then turned his head up fully. And he noticed that his Master's expression is not very pleasant.
Rin's arms are crossed, and wears a very disappointed look on her face.
Archer!An Archer Class! I focused all my determination on the ritual and centered all of my magic. And then I got an Archer Class! That's very unfortunate.
To be continued…
