"One does not care to acknowledge the mistakes of one's youth" Char Anzable


Torino, Italy three years ago

"Command seals?" a confused Kotomine Kirei asked. He was with his father Risei and another gentlemen. Who his father had taken him to meet.

"Yes" Risei confirmed. "It is proof that you have been chosen by the holy grail" the aged man explained. "A Stigmata bestowing you the power to command a servant."

The other man in the room held out the back of his hand to show his own command seals. On his right hand was an intricate symbol in red "Kotomine Kirei-kun" he addressed the Church Executioner.

Kotomine looked at his own right hand and the symbols on it. "The holy grail war" he spoke as if tasting the words. "The battle for a device that can perform Miracles" Kirei paused here for a moment. Putting his arm down he asked. "And I have been chosen." there was bafflement and confusion in the younger Kotomine's voice.

"Normally the Grail chooses seven Magi as Masters to the Servants" the other man explained. He was in a red formal suit. He had regular brown hair and sported a goatee. "Its highly unusual for someone like you, with no connection to magic to be chosen so early" the now revealed Magus stated with amusement in his voice.

"Servants" Kirie spoke his voice once again trailing off. "I still think its strange to summon and command Heroic Spirits to fight for you" the executioner confessed.

"I know" the magus replied "it is hard to believe" he admitted. "Heroes from every age and nation are resurrected to kill each other and prove their supremacy. The is the holy Grail war" the blue eyed Magus explained with a smug grin on his face.

"Naturally" Risei began, making Kotmine turn partially turn partially to see him. "There is an unspoken agreement that battles are to be fought in secret." the older Kotomine explained. "To insure this we of the Holy Church send a regulator over."

"Can a member of the Church really act as the judge in a battle between magi?" Kirei asked as it was well known that Magus's and the Church did not always agree and that was a polite was of voicing it.

There was the sound of liquid being poured into a wine glass as the other magus decided that it was time for a drink. "A member of the Mage's Association would favour one party too much to be fair" he explained as the wine glass was filled with a rich red liquor. "And so likw sixty years ago, your father will watch over our battler" he informed Kirei

"My father will be going to Fuyuki City?" Kotomine asked with surprise in his voice. Turning to face the Magus he now asked "But isn't there a problem with the judge and participant being related by blood?"

"Tokiomi-kun" Rsei spoke adressing the Magus who still kept his smug expression.

"Let's get to the point" the now named Tokiomi declared. He began to walk of to the side and began to circle Kirei.

"Kirie" Risei addressed his son "everything we've spoken of so far is already known to all participants" he explained. "But there's another reason I asked you and Tohsaka Tokiomi to come here today" he informed them.

"And what would that be?" Kotomine asked hesitantly his mind already going through any and all of the possible reasons that his father oculd have brought him here. The fact that Risei and Tokiomi were now both circling him did not make the executioner feel as if it was anything good. If either of them were to attack now he was most definitely going to be killed. While Kirei was unsure about the Magus and his particular skill set he knew that despite his fathers age the old priest was not some feeble old man to be taken lightly, that would surely prove to be fatal.

"Actually" Risei began "many years ago, proof was found that the Holy Grail that appears in Fuyuki City does not belong to the Son of God" the aged priest explained.

"Indeed" the younger Kotomine agreed. "otherwise the order to retrieve it would've bee to us of the 8th Sacrament Assembly" he reasoned.

"However, the holy grail in Fuyuki is too powerful to ignore" Risei informed him. "It's an omnipotent wish granting device after all" the older Kotomine stated. "Who knows what disaster it could cause should it fall into the hands?"

"Thus, it is best if we ensure that the Grail at least falls into the right hands as plan B" Tokiomi explained glancing sideways at Kirei.

"The Tohsaka family are indeed Magi" Risei admitted "but they also have a long history of friendship with the Church" the senior Kotomine explained. "I can also vouch for Tokiomi-kun's character. Moreover, his intentions for the Grail are clear."

"To reach the Root" Tokiomi spoke voicing his desire to reach the Akashic records. "That is the sole desire of the Tohsaka family" he informed Kirei. "However both the Einzbern and the Matous have forgotten the wish we once shared."

"I don't think I need to explain the case for the other Masters" Risei stated "Who knows what dark plans they may have for the grail."

"So" Kirei began realising what was being asked of him "I'll be participating in the coming Holy Grail War to ensure Tohsaka Tokiomi's victory, then" Kirei stated more than asked.

"Of course we will act as enemies seemingly fighting over the Grail" Tokiomi informed Kirei. "But beneath the surface, we'll work together to defeat the other Masters and attain certain victory" he explained.

"And there you have it Kirei-kun" Risei informed his son.

"You will be transferred from the Church to the Mage's Association where you will become my student" Tohsaka stated in a matter of fact manner.

"The official orders have already been issued" Risei confirmed.

"You will go to Japan to study magic" Tokiomi explained "and become strong enough to command a Servant in the Holy Grail War in three years." with this said Tokiomi took a sip of his red wine. "Now then" Tokiomi began.

"Any questions Kirei?" Risei finished for him.

Without any paused Kirei replied "just one" he stated. Looking up he asked. "What exactly is the Grails will in choosing it's Masters?"

Tkoimi snorted maintaining his smug smirk "the Rail prefers to choose Masters that need I the most" the Tohsaka explained.

"Does that mean all the Masters have a reason to covet the Grail?" Kirei asked slightly confused.

"Not necessarily" Tokiomi replied. "There have been cases where Command Seals have appeared on individuals you wouldn't expect to be chosen" the Magus explained. "Ah" Tokiomi spoke as if he was just realising something. "Are you still baffled that you've been chosen?" the head of the Tohsaka family asked.

Kirei looked down or more like inwards to wards himself as he contemplated the answer. Looking up at the Magus Kotomine Kirei made his choice. decided


Present day Fuyuki City Docks

A figure dressed in steel coloured attire resembling some sort of military uniform looked down on the scene below him. His glowing azure eyes shined intensely at how he was forced not to take part in the conflict, part of him the smallest and least significant said that it was because these beings, these heroes as they called themselves were beneath him. Another much stronger and rational part informed him that his master was far too arrogant and was waiting for the right moment so he could broadcast the superiority of his servant. That did not sit well with the said servant, while he was the strongest -of that there could be no doubt- the servant that the Magus had summoned was never one to boast his superiority. He had always never felt the need to as it gave him something in common with those he loathed. So here he waited in his astral form waiting for his master and his ally to give him the signal. The azure eyed servant did take some interest in the fight between the green clad man and the blue armoured woman.

Both fought superbly and with great skill, the servant found that in terms of skill he could respect theirs, but only that the talk of honour reminded him of someone who's presence he could feel regarding him his entire life. Casually glancing behind him the servant could see the a tall bulky man with a large sword on his back with black hair and glowing blue eyes gazing at him in judgement. The servant during life had always tried to ignore this spectator, he had found solace in the company of his brothers and comrades, even in the company of those he despised seemed to keep the figure off of his mind However he knew now he was truly alone and as such this figure, this angel with two small wings on his left side stood with his arms crossed and a stern expression on his face as he gazed at the servant.

The servant knew that this visitation was urging him to take the righteous path and aid the one who was weaker. The answer to which of the two other servants who were at a disadvantage was answered as the one wielding two spears struck the blue armoured servant. The steel clad servant looked down as the two exchanged the others identity and he felt knowledge from that accursed throne flow into him on how to face each of them. It was then that a fourth party made itself known coming in flash of lightning on a flying chariot pulled by bulls a mountain of a man with tanned skin and rich red hair charged between the two servants. "both of you, sheath your blades" he commanded. "For you are in thee presence of a king."

While all present were distracted by the latest servants declaration the steel clad servant saw his chance. In his astral form he moved up right behind the figure with blue hair and a black body. He knew this was part of another servant. Another servant whom he had been ordered to kill. The steel clad servant was secretly enraged on the inside at his master's plan. Abusing rules for one's own gain was something he loathed. It seemed that the black figure was unaware of his presence as he materialised it didn't even notice as the steel coloured sword descended down and claimed another part of it.

While the steel clad servant had been doing this he had also had paid attention to the other servants. He was surprised that Rider would extend an offer like that to his foes, though since he was who he had declared himself to be it was not wholly unexpected. It was not unexpected that both Saber and Lancer servants turned him down and claimed that it was an insult to their honour. Again that word being used as an excuse. The one who had always watched him had also used it to justify his actions in life but the steel clad servant had never seen the evil in what his visitation had done. What he had been doing was the right thing, unlike his friend the visitation had chosen not to involve others in his own personal vendetta and for that he was worthy of respect. Though the servant's loathing on how his own nature was influenced by his visitation's own existence did make the did make him begrudge the visitation of that. The urge to help others was not something that should exist where the steel clad servant had lived, and so he did not blame the visitation but the servant definitely didn't hesitate to explain that that was the origin of that specific weakness, though that was his only one any could claim he had, a history of remaining undefeated and a mound of corpses every time more came to challenge him spoke volumes of his skill and strength.

The steel clad watched in amusement as the Rider declared. "To all other Servant's here, Reveal yourselves or earn the scorn of Iskander, King of Conquerors." Rider declared his arms apart and raised as he bellowed with his face towards the sky.

The steel clad servant decided to humour the self proclaimed king of conquerors and reveal himself. However before the steel clad servant was able to do as such another servant appeared. This one manifested in a blacc like of smoke and had trails of it leaking off of him. The steel clad servant noted that the black servant was fully armoured and it may just be his noble phantasm that was the smoke that made him appear black. It's visor was a glowing red and it let loose a maddened roar. There was no doubt in the minds of all present, this servant was berserker.

The steel clad servant's heightened hearing picked up Lancer's mockery of Rider and Rider's explanation as to why he wasn't inviting Berserker. The steel clad servant believed that the green clad one would have to re-evaluate his opinion of Rider as the King of Conqueror's was definitely no fool despite his actions.

It was then Beserker struck, with a relentless furry he grabbed a nearby street pole and assaulted the handicapped Saber. The steel clad servant noticed that the street pole had turned in a Noble Phantasm the moment Berserker had grasped it. Seeing him face and push back Saber with not only strength but skill and mastery of arms the steel clad servant came to the same conclusion as Rider did. This servant was very versatile for a man who had lost his sense of reason. Though that last part was not true, the steel clad servant believed Berserker to have lost his human sentience and have what was similar to that of a predatory and rabid animal level of sentience. This however did not make Berserker any less of a threat. The steel clad servant concluded that the smoke that obscured him and the ability to make anything he wields into a noble Phantasm was two separate noble Phantasm's he also suspected that was not all the to the two of them.

Like Rider he watched as Saber was pushed back. Surprisingly Lancer came to her aid slicing of the top of the pole with his crimson spear that cut through all magic. Lancer's master a man who reminded the steel clad servant of the people he loathed the most berated his servant demanding that he take Saber down. When Lancer pleaded to be allowed face Berserker before he faced Saber Lancer's master did something that made the steel clad hand tighten around his large blade and Noble Phantasm. Truly Lancer's master deserved a fate worse than death, taking away a one's free will and forcing them to fight in such a manner only deserved as such.

The steel clad servant felt the glare of his visitation on him more now than ever as Saber was forced back even further by the combined efforts of both Lancer and Berserker. Turning Azure eyes met Sky Blue, the steel clad servant looked and saw something different in the eyes of his visitation, no longer was there judgement, but instead there was was approval. "Damn you" the steel clad servant snarled understanding why it was so. As he stood up straight and raised his sword. "This will be only a single occurrence" he hissed to the Angelic figure. "I will not aid another one of them again." This figure or who it represented was the only being alive that could get under the Servant's skin

With that in the steel clad servants left hand he swung down his massive blade slicing through the air sending several blade beams down at where Berserker and Lacer were. Leaping down himself he crashed with a loud sound in front of the to creating an already bigger dust cloud as he sent the two of them flying backwards away from Saber and her fragile master.

As the dust clouds settled Berserker and Lancer along with the others present saw him revealed at last to them. "Oh and who might you be?" Rider asked with Genuine interest at his appearance.

Never taking his eyes of Lancer and Berserker the steel clad servant declared. "I am Servant Archer of the fourth Heaven's feel." The now revealed Archer spoke with a steel and an impossible sharpness in his voice. Raising his gigantic sword he levelled it at both Lancer and Berserker. "The conflict" he began each word colder and sharper that the. "Is with me now" Archer stated as he fixed them with his azure gaze, his eyes flashing in resonance with his conviction and an aquamarine aura trailing of of him dangerously.


Saber gritted her teeth in frustration and vexation. She had not expected to be injured so lethally in the first night of the grail war nor had she expected to face two other servants in the same night. The King of Knight's defeat had been all but assured even if her realm master had Kiritsugu had been able to manage something, she had been almost certain that he destruction and defeat had been inevitable when Lancer was forced by use of a command seal to aid Berserker. That had changed in less than a heartbeat when they were almost upon her.

A single beam came down on the area that Lancer and Berserker would be on if the continued advancing on her forcing them to momentarily pull back. Saber had by some chance suspected that her real master may have had something to do with it until he she noticed that something slammed into the pavement turning up more dust than the beam have. As the dust settled Saber noticed a man clad in a steel coloured uniform that was sleeveless and wore boots with a massive sword in his left hand. Saber could tell immediately that he was a servant from what she was sensing. Though that did throw up a lot of questions the main one would have been why he would choose to aid her. Was this agreement Kiritsugu had made prior to the start of the war? More importantly Saber also noticed that Lancer and Berserker were picking themselves up off of the ground it appeared that he had somehow struck them after he had landed. And had sent the two servants and impressive distance away, judging from how far to two had pulled back when the projectile hit. He must have caught the two servants off guard which was an impressive feat given Lancer's Eye of mind (True) rank.

It was Rider who voiced the question that all present wanted to know "Oh and who might you be?" The King of conquerors asked in his usual tone.

Saber did not see if the other Servant had noticed or heard this question as he had not moved in the slightest from where he was. "I am Servant Archer of the fourth Heaven's Feel" The Servant said in a cold and sharp voice not once looking away from where Lancer and Berserker were. Saber likened it to the sound of a sword slicing through armour. Saber then saw him raise his massive blade and point it at the two servants. "The conflict" Archer said with impossible steel in his voice. "Is with me now." Saber then felt the build up of energy and noticed that an aquamarine aura had begun to surround Archer as the energy she sensed built up. The aura looked similar to a fire burning.

Saber had been almost caught up in this that she nearly forgot an important detail that was missing. If this was Archer, then were was his bow? Whatever Saber and the Others could have been thinking died as the aura disappeared and the mental pressure built up as the Archer stared down Berserker and Lancer, Those present only now noticed that his eyes glowed to to them flashing. Saber was surprised to see that Berserker had taken a step back when he and Archer made eye contact. Saber had only seen the back of the man so she did not know what it was that the madman had seen that made even one without reason wary.

As the tension reached its crescendo building up to an almost unbearable level Berserker Roared his fury outweighing his survival instincts. It was then that Archer made his move, impossible fast he was in front of Berserker already slamming his peculiar and massive sword into the armoured madman at a speed at which Berserker was unable to react. The Madman was sent flying crashing through several of the metallic structures at the docks.

Lancer was upon him a moment later, the knight of the lance angled Gáe Dearg the crimson rose of and Gáe Buidhe the yellow rose of mortality for Archer's exposed back. Only in the last moments to find himself hurtling into one of the metallic structures himself with one of his Noble Phantasm's spinning out of his due to the force of the blow he had managed to parry at the last moment. Lancer landed with a loud crash and managed to pick himself up but not before and barely avoided a beam in the form of a slash that had been sent in his direction. Saber theorised that ability of Archer's may have been the reason why he could be summoned as Archer. She then took note that Archer himself while all eyes were on either Lancer or Berserker had made his way to where Lancer's Golden Spear lay.

Putting his sword onto his back Archer picked p the spear tossing it in the air a few times before going through some quick drills in the span of a few seconds to test the Noble Phantasm's integrity as a weapon. Seemingly satisfied he turned to where Lancer was standing with an unreadable expression on his face. "This is a rather good spear Lancer" Archer stated as he twirled it a few times before before holding it in an offensives stance like one would throw a javelin.

"Do you have no honour that you would wield another's own weapon against them" Lancer accused heatedly but Archer did not seem the least bit bothered by the accusation. It seemed like he didn't even consider that accusation worth his time to acknowledge.

"You are indeed fortunate to posses such a fine and loyal comrade. I cannot begin to explain how useful it is" Archer's continued as if the first spear of the Knights of Fianna had not spoken. "However" Archer stated in a much colder and sharper tone his eyes impossibly become harder and sharper than before. "You have a poor choice of masters" Archer stated before in a fluid and swift motion he spun around and threw Gáe Buidhe at a random spot where it struck with such ferocity that it caused a rather loud collision upon impact piercing through where it was thrown and sinking into the cement.

Saber and the others did not understand why he had done so until they heard the anguished cry of Lancer's master. "Lancer you incompetent fool" the pained voice of Kayneth cried out. "Get me out of here before this wound your vaunted spear and that ridiculous servant ave me ensures that I perish." It seemed for a man who was in pain and injured the Magus seemed to have a lot to say.

Lancer glared in anger at Archer. "I swear I will make you pay for what you have done to my master."

In turn Archer broke out into a harsh and bitter laugh. Saber heard that there was genuine amusement in the voice but Archer's eyes only held disgust as he returned Lancers glare with what seemed to be an overwhelming hatred and hostility that made the knight of the Lance take a step back, from just making eye contact with Archer. "Once more those who claim to be noble prove their ideal false in front of me" his voice was dripping with venom. "How could one such as yourself even think of working for filth like that and claim to be righteous?" Archer challenged. Surely one such as you would never even think of spitting on trash" Archer hissed his face passive but his voice dripping with venom "I say let the man die he himself declared that he would kill a boy that he had wronged." Archer then took a step towards Diarmuid drawing his sword. "with this I have given you a choice, let the filth die and maintain Saber's disadvantage in this joke of a war, or save the filth's life and remove whatever advantage you and the other servants now hold over her." After he had Said this Archer added. "Make your decision now, or forever live with the one I make." once again the steel in his voice sent a chill down those who were present's respective spines even managing to make a few of the servants there be on guard more so than before

Saber realised that Archer was one who followed a different code of conduct, while it seemed that he did not value honour as much or if at all he did seem to feel angered by Lancer's master and his declaration. Lancer realised this too but as he had said before he was sworn so for him there was no choice really. While Saber did not condone Archer's actions she realised that he had done this for her benefit so that she could fight at full strength again, though she did not know why.

Lancer had already Dashed over towards his were his master was before retrieving his lance and preparing to leave only to find a gloved fist embeds itself into his stomach. And sent him onto the ground in his master blood.

Saber and the others got the chance to see what had happened to Lancer's master, A man in who appeared to be in his prime with blond hair gasping while clutching a spot on his shoulder that was leaking blood, the place where Lancer's spear had most probably gone through. Archer stood looking down on them with disgust and in his eyes. Before turning his back and saying "Lancer, the path that you have chosen leads straight into oblivion" he stated walking away from the two. "But by all means since you believe in it keep on walking if you must."

Lancer did not waste time snapping Gáe Buidhe Yellow rose of Mortality breaking the curse on Saber and his Kayneth before hurriedly exiting, leaving only three servants remaining. "I will remember this insult" Lancer's Master hissed through clenched teeth. "I will make you and your master squirm for this

Archer in turn ignored him choosing instead to continue walking towards the other two servants.

Saber felt he hands tighten around Excalibur as she anticipated that he may attack one of them next and given what had happened to Berserker and the fact that the Madman had been recalled meant that he might be able to overpower her and Rider even if the King of conquerors and her fought against him together.

Archer's azure gaze looked at her, Irisviel, rider and his master Waver. The moment was spoiled by Rider's master losing his cool, "Rider" he exclaimed in a panicked fashion. "We need to get as far from him as possible, if he gets to close we're doomed." Waver Velvet explained hysterically.

This earned Saber's and Rider's attention. "Did you see his statistics?" The King of Conqueror's asked interested and concentration in what his master was overreaction about.

Saber turned to Irisviel who also had a look of fear etched onto her face. "Is it that bad?" Saber asked. To which he 'master' nodded.

It seemed that according to Irisviel the boy's reaction was well founded. "Saber we need to get out of here, you can't face him as he is" the homunculus stated.

"While it is natural to assume that I will be asking which one of you is next, that would be a complete waste if I were to however since I just did something for two of you." Archer stated in an emotionless tone.

"So you don't plan attacking either of us?" Saber question cautiously. "Why?"

"Are you a fool?" Archer replied. "I just enabled use of your left hand and you ask why?" Saber realised that she must have insulted him. "I have no personal vendetta against you so I wouldn't save you just to slay you myself, I find that notion foolish and petty." he explained "Not to mention counter productive in so many ways. Turning to look at one of the structures. "Sniper I would suggest you refrain from aiming at the boy" he calmly instructed. Your own life would be measured in seconds if you continue." Archer stated raising his right arm which suddenly glowed with a light blue light. "That goes the same for your accomplice on the other side." Archer added. "If you wanted to take the shot you should have done so when I faced Berserker and Lancer. Or before I intervened"

Saber realised who he was talking to, It could only be Kiritsugu, the King of Knights felt her respect for her real master drop at this, truly to hide in the shadows while his wife's life was endangered was truly despicable. It seemed that Kiritsugu had done as Archer had suggested as Archers lowered his hand the light dyed down. Saber noticed it had died down and only a servant would be able to tell so, It either meant he was going to attack them or he did not believe that Kiritsugu had withdrawn. Both possibilities did not sit well with Saber, not well at all.

"So Waver Velvet" Archer addressed Rider's master. "I do believe you owe me an explanation as to why filth like that who called you his pupil desires to kill you so much, or more likely what possessed you to steal from filth like that?" Then looked from Waver then to Rider and then back to Waver, "I do believe it would have been more beneficial for you if you had approached Rider after your teacher had summoned him and offered to be a replacement for the scum as I do have an inkling that Rider here would not take too well to the man's arrogance." What was unnerving was the fact that Archer had said this in a completely neutral tone.

"You are not wrong a master like that would have only hindered me like he does Lancer" the King of Conquerors agreed. "Looking at the petrified Waver he denuded the boy out of his stupor. Archer then listened to Waver's explanation and for the briefest of moment Saber could have sworn she saw an impressed smile on the Stoic man's face. Rider had noticed it to as he said. "You seem to be impressed and amused."

The smile returned to Archer's face as he gave a shrug. "In truth I am" he admitted. "I fully condone of your theory" Archer said. "In fact I am living proof of it's truth." he stated.

Saber realised that what Archer had just said was not a proclamation but more of a statement he might as well have said that a sword is a weapon from his tone. Waver on the other hand was freaking out, Wait you got this powerful through hard work and application?" he asked disbelievingly.

"Well hard work and application is putting it mildly as one would put into a child fantasy" Archer admitted. "What I went through was hell or was as close as you can get to it." He explained. "It was a place where they searched for the limit that human strength could be pushed" Archer informed them. "Over in that place that I called home all morals were thrown aside in pursuit of this, and yet the only answer that I the only remaining product of it have is that there is no limit to how much human Strength can grow as it is limitless." Saber noticed the slight sharpness in his one whenever he said human it was as if he wished not to say the word at all. Archer then began to walk away. "It appears my master has called me, a parting word as a gift to he who has earned my respect. Assassin and his master are in league with mine also Assassin's master is the son of this wars referee, he is in on it too." Archer stated. "Finally Assasin's is has multiple personality's and has a body for each" Archer explained. "Think of this as my gift to you before we meet as enemies."

After he had left Waver turned to Rider and asked the King of Conquerors "Rider what do you make out of his words?"

"There is no deceit as far as I can tell, though why he would go against his master and tell us speaks volumes of his character, Though if you wish to know why I didn't ask him to join me was because the pain I saw in his gaze speaks of a warrior who has lost all of his comrades." Seeing his master's confusion at this Rider decided to expand "I can not ask one who has lost all of his comrades to join me until he has made peace with his own inner demons as I feel he blame's himself for their deaths." That Rider and waver departed leaving Saber and Irisviel alone.

Saber understood the feeling that Rider was talking of though she was surprised she had not recognised that in Archer's eyes, it seemed that only Rider was capable of seeing this. Turning to her 'master' the Saber asked. "Shall we head to the mansion?" Saber knew staying would be dangerous as the battle would have attracted a lot attention, they were instructed to kill any bystanders, quickly to two of them also departed. Not once looking back


Tokiomi Tohsaka sat in frustration at what the information he had received a little while back from his pupil Kotomine. Apparently someone had destroyed another part of assassin, mainly the one that had been sent to gather data on the other servants gathering at the challenge Lancer had issued. Tokiomi had tried to contact his own servant Archer but the servant of the bow had said that he was busy and distractions were not needed. This confirmed that he had been engaging at least two other servants. While Tokiomi had been a little disappointed at first with the summoned servant, he had been trying to summon the king of heroes. The Magus had re-evaluated his opinion of the seemingly unremarkable servant that had stood in front of him when the light from the circle had died down when he had glimpsed the servants abilities and Noble Phantasms. Though it seemed that his servant took an immediate disliking to Kirei though when pushed about this the servant had stated that it was because he reminded of him of someone that in life the Servant loathed.

The Head of the Tohsaka's did admit that having such a servant that powerful would all but guarantee his victory, however him and his servant had different views on how the war should be fought. Tokiomi knew that his servant had not claimed anything in arrogance but was more of stating the obvious when he stated to the Magus bluntly that he could take all the servants out with a 'swing of his sword'. Tokiomi had the idea of showcasing Archer to the others showing the difference to the other master in their summoned servants. His servant had been against this saying that showcasing power was something that was prideful and would lead to the Magus's downfall, Tokiomi was concerned about hoe he could get Archer to cooperate with his plan and it seemed that flattery was wasted as the servant saw it for what it was, more concerning was Archer's reaction when Tokiomi had told him what he was going to wish for. The servant had smirked amused at him before asking. "And what then?" Tokiomi confessed to himself and himself alone that he had not thought that far ahead.

When Tokiomi had questioned the servant as to what his desire was Archer had replied. "Why would I want something like a wish?" he had challenged. "To want something like that is to accept that you do not have the power to achieve a task on your own." The servant's eyes had become impossibly colder in the next few words he spoke. "While many a tragedy occur to me there is nothing that I would do differently, nor there is anything that I wish that I did not already posses."

Tokiomi admitted that his servant was quite the handful, the first thing that had stuck the Magus about his Servants odd nature was the lack of a bow, however Seeing that Noble Phantasm explained that the Noble Phantasm was not just a sword. To make matter' wore his servant seemed to be more keen to wander Fuyuki in astral form saying that he was performing reconnaissance on the possible battlegrounds. Tokiomi suspected that there was more to it as the last time before this night he had done so Archer had returned with a smirk that made Tokiomi feel uncomfortable. Archer's smirk held no mirth it was sharp and cold making it still look as if it was in place on the servant's features however Tokiomi noticed that there was a conspiratorial edge to it as if the two of them were privy to an awful secret. Tohsaka did not understand what his servant had found out but it could be trouble if Archer could hold it against him in the future.

An aquamarine light flooded the dim room as Archer made his presence known. Tokiomi returned to regard his servant and realised that he could not be more than a teen, while it seemed that he was fairly tall Tokiomi could tell that the boy was still in his growth spurt. The Magus pushed these thoughts to the side, who his servant was could wait for later. "I am to presume that you participated fighting against the other servants" it was not a question.

Archer nodded. "Indeed, They will now think twice before trying to attack you." he answered. "Also I have Saber and Rider's Master indebted to me. Along with Lancer possibly losing one of his Noble Phantasm"

Tokiomi noted that Archer had referred to himself rather than including Tokiomi in the statement, this did trouble the Magus as it indicated that his summoned servant felt no form of obligation to him. This could be indeed troublesome in the future. Archer seemed to be a straightforward person who would rather value honesty over subterfuge from his supposed Allies.

"I would not trust Kirei Kotomine if I were you" Archer stated. Without looking to see if Tokiomi was going to ask why he continued. "That man is a monster, more so than humans most humans."

Tokiomi was interested now it seemed as if his servant viewed their species in a very bad light given his strength and the fact that he may have come from the future if his attire was any indication, Archer may have been the subject of human experimentation though what type had Tokiomi confused. "And pray tell what makes you say this?" Tokiomi asked raising an eyebrow, while he trusted Kotomine explicitly since the man was his apprentice in the short time that he knew Archer the servant would not speak unless he had something of import to say. So for now at least he would here out his servant's concerns even if they were unfounded.

"I know of his kind" Archer replied. "He is one who was born that way not made into what he is." It seemed that whatever Archer saw in Kotomine it was not good since he had actually gone to some lengths to observe the man it seemed. "If he was made into what he is now I would not have any issue or concern with his nature" Archer admitted

Tokiomi was unsure of what Archer was referring to as he did not see anything wrong with his apprentice so he decided to ask "what do you mean by 'born' that way?"

Archer regarded him with azure eyes and Tokiomi found himself unable to maintain the look so he was forced to look away due to the amount of sharpness in the other's eyes. "Kirei Kotomine" Archer began as if he were talking to a simpleton or disclosing important information that would only be said once. "Is a human being that is only capable of finding joy in the pain of others" Archer stated. "He will betray you to achieve his own desire whether he needs the grail or not of that there can be not doubt." The servant concluded with a his face set in a neutral expression.

Tokiomi blinked at the accusation his servant had just made as it sunk in. The very thought that Kirei would betray him was preposterous looking up to where Archer was Tokiomi found that his servant had left gone into astral form and disappeared leving the aquamarine like dust residue that faded quickly in the wake of his departure. Tokiomi was going to just brush off what his servant had just told him but the magus realised that he might anger Archer if he did so. Tokiomi sighed it seemed that though victory was all but assured his seemed his servant intended to make him work for it regardless. "I suppose it would be too easy otherwise" Tokiomi muttered. "At least he is willing to cooperate for now." The question however was how long would it take for.


A room that was dark without light lay a girl with a blank look in her eyes. All over the girl and under her worm like creatures crawled around and into her still form. The Girl herself felt nothing as she had been enduring this for over a year now. It was something that her 'Grandfather' had decided for her. While the girl herself felt cold for a brief moment she felt colder. That would be an understatement as the temperature dropped so to did an aquamarine light flash over the room lighting it up and killing a sizable minority of the insects that were in close proximity to rest had become deathly still as if something was preventing them from moving

The Girl felt even colder as she was two azure orbs that glowed in the dark in one corner of the room. "So" a voice that was even colder than the rooms perceived temperature and was even sharper than it was cold spoke. "There is one that I can understand on an emotional level completely in this world" it said softly so only the girl and him could hear. The blue orbs turned to survey the Crest Worms. "While this is revolting I cannot deny the use of beings that are an extension of one's self" it stated with steel in its voice. The orbs then looked at her and spoke to her again. "I would sever you from this place on principle" the orbs stated.

The Girl Realised that what she was seeing were in fact not orbs but eyes. Was this person saying that he could defy 'grandfather' why would someone risk something like that?

"However there is nowhere you could got" the owner of the eyes stated. "I will see to that first" it stated. "Steel yourself for what is to come" the figure stated before the aquamarine light glowed brightly again killing off more crest worms and the died leaving the mysterious figure missing as though it had vanished.

The Broken Child heard someone come in a hurried fashion to the room no doubt a her grandfather coming to check on her. However the broken girl then felt something inside of her that warmed her, something that she hadn't felt since coming here, hope.


Kariya woke up with ice cold water being splashed on his face drenching him. He entire body was in agony as the crest worms devoured more of his body enabling him to supply Berserker with Prana for the Grail War. Yet it seemed that even this was not sufficient as his servant required more, this was acceptable as Berserker seemed to be one of the most powerful servants there.

"I would wake up if I were you" a cold voice that was colder than the water he had been drenched it suggested. "While I am patient the time I have is finite before my summoner request my presence by command seal if I take too long."

That Woke the Kariya up, if this was an enemy servant he should act quickly and order Berserker to attack or his life span would be measured in moments.

"Fool" the other Servant stated chastising him. "If wanted to kill you I would have done so in your sleep" the servant stated. "It would be as quick as it would be painless, you wouldn't even realise that you were dead until you woke up in whatever sort of afterlife you and your fellows believe in."

Kariya was finally able to put a face to a voice, it was the servant who had pushed back both Berserker and Lancer the previous night. Kariya also felt a tinge of anger as he recalled that this Tokiomi's servant was. "What do you want?" he hissed as he got a good look at the servant who was gazing down at his prone form.

"In truth I desire nothing for" the Archer confessed. "However I believe I can help you with your desire, well the part of cleansing the girl at any rate."

Kariya was no fool and while he would gladly take any chance to save 'the girl' Archer had just mentioned he knew that the servant must want something in return. "You want me to do something off you?" he asked the servant summoned by Tokiomi sceptically. Whatever this servant wanted must have been either large or irregular since he could have approached any of the other masters.

Kariya thought he saw the shadow of an impressed smirk cross Archer's features. "I want you to kill the master of Assassin?" the steel clad servant stated. "Not Assasin but the master."

"Kotomine?" Kariya asked confused. He was Tokiomi's apprentice and all in the grail war. Kariya suspected that Tokiomi himself had aligned himself with the Church so he and Kotimine could bypass the rules the referee set since the referee was Kirie's father and would likely turn a blind eye to it in order for his son or ally to win. "Why would you want him killed?" The real Question that Kariya had left unasked was 'Why do you want me to do it?'.

Archer's cold azure gaze bore into him and Kariya swore that he felt some of the Crest worms die when they felt the gaze. "Perhaps because I sympathise with your plight and the one you seek to save." It was not sympathy in the servants voice but understanding, as if he knew what Kariya and the one he sought to rescue were going through or well at least what one of them was going through at any rate. "Also while Rider's master is indebted to me It is Saber not her master who is so I can't guarantee their cooperation since it would be like declaring war on the Church something that they wish to avoid."

"And what makes you think that I do not wish to avoid them?" Kariya asked cautiously. It seemed that the servant was doing something though it was subtle as the crest worms were a lot more quiet and Kariya himself was feeling rather refreshed.

"From what I have gathered that if your actions brought the downfall of your family mainly your brother and father you wouldn't lose much sleep over it" he Servant stated in a matter of fact manner. "In fact I think you would have cause to celebrate as would the departed souls of all of your father's victims. All save one would rejoice at his death" the Servant explained.

Kariya was more wary of the servant -who with brute strength pushed back Berserker without so much as using any effort- than he was before. "Still doesn't explain why you came to me" he stated. "Or why you are offering to help not to mention how you were able to find out, not Even Tokiomi knew what Zouken would do and he is the owner of the city."

The Servant just sighed or what was more of an imitation of a sigh Kariya could not tell either way. "I was only offering because what that girl Sakura if I remember correctly reminded me of my own origins" he informed Kariya. "The Master of Assassin is a reminder of those who created me" the Servant stated with venom in his voice clearly those memories were not something the servant treasured and more of something that he reviled. "That is enough reason for me."

Kariya was eager to free Sakura but he was also a bit wary as this was Tokiomi's servant. "Are you sure you can heal Sakura?" he asked the fact that Archer knew her name slipping his mind.

The servant of the bow nodded. "Yes or did you think that your sudden betterment of condition was circumstance?" Archer asked confirming that he had done something to Kariya. Before that Matou could demand what he had done Archer continued. "I killed 23% of the worms in your body and comatose the remaining 77% of them into a coma while reconstructing all the damaged tissue while we were talking" Archer explained. "Materia and Mako have their uses." he admmitted before taking out a blue orb the size of his palm. "You will need this to keep the a steady supply of mana" he stated as he shoved the blue orb into Kariya's chest as it slid in without even piercing the skin. "Is this enough proof?"

Kariya blinked at the man no youth standing in front of him before he nodded "More than enough just save Sakura."

There was an edge of desperation to his voice that almost made Archer sick because of that admittance of weakness. But then again that showed how devoted to saving the girl this Master was. "You have the word of the Tsviet of Steel that I will" Archer stated raising his hand as Kariya shook it.

Magical Energy: (B) A

Endurance: (B) A

Luck: E-

Agility: (B+) A+

Noble Phantasm: (B) A

Class Abilities

Independent Action A+: The Servant can remain in this world indefinitely even without a Master. With a rank of A+ that exceeds even A, the support of a Master is unnecessary even while unleashing a large amount of Magical Energy.

Magic Resistance EX: The Servant can literally shrug off any and all magical attacks used against him without any ill effects and can ignore commands used in conjuction with a command seal.

Personal Skills

Battle Continuation A: Does not give up. Allows the servant to fight past the verge of death even after receiving fatal blows.

Clairvoyance A: This servant has the ability to track any figure no matter the distance between them. At this rank this skill is so high objects between the viewer and target are unable to hinder the user.

Discernment of the Poor EX: The ability to read and accurately judge a persons character without flaw, only works if said servant has met the person or observed them.

Disengage C: The ability to exit from a battle. It can also return all condition and states back to the beginning of the match.

Mateira Mastery A: Through the use of Materia the servant is capable of using high speed magic and high ranking magic without use of magic circuits and capable of performing even the highest level of magic with a gesture.

Mako Infusion A+: Like every person who had been infused with Mako Suchīru has enhanced strength endurance and reflexes. This ability allows him to keep his base stats even if he has been summoned in an era (or world) where SOLDIER or Deepground is unknown. If Suchīru has been summoned in where people know of SOLDIER or Deepground all his stats except his luck go up by one rank.

Instinct B: To survive in Deepground one must struggle and learn where and when not to be. As a result most of the Deepground SOLDIER's who survive are able to instinctively tell when one more skilled, strong and or cunning than them is around. This ability makes one able to 'feel' the best course to take for the battle.

Eye of the Mind (Ture) B: Capable of calm analysis of battle conditions even when in danger and deduce an appropriate course of action after considering all possibilities to escape from a predicament. So long there is even a 1% chance of a comeback, this ability greatly improves the chances of winning.

Monstrous Strength EX: For this Servant this skill is always active increasing his strength rank slowly and steadily while also increasing his agility and endurance during each encounter. His stats will rest at the end of each encounter leaving him at base strength.

Uncrowned Arms Mastership Servants EX: In Deepground only the Tsviets and Restrictors along with the scientist who worked on him knew of his existence so to the rest of Deepground he was entirely unknown. As a result this skill makes his skills appear to be one rank less than they already are. However it also forces him to regulate his strength to keep appearances of being at that rank and he caanot utilise the active effects of his Noble Phantasm only able to use rely on their passive ones. This Skill can only be countermanded if his opponent discovers his true ranking or his master orders him to go all out with a command seal.

Innocent Monster A:

Noble Phantasm

Tsviet of Steel, The ever growing pinnacle of Deepground SOLDIER and human strength

Type: Anti-unit~Anti-army

Rank: A

Range: 0

No. of Maximum Targets: 1

Suchīru is effectively the strongest Deepground SOLDIER, he was more prodigious than his surrogate brother Weiss that they had lock him in the Omega Vault in over 1000 times Gaia's gravity and in a vacuum with no air when he was able to almost take down all four of the Restrictors. Suchīru's growth enabled him to adapt to any situation making it hard for his opponent to surprise him or damage him after some time in battle when he had got used to both the weapons employed by his foe and their style of fighting. As a Passive Noble Phantasm this makes his skin highly resistant to Noble Phantasms making it difficult to pierce as he grows more resistant with each engagement, it also prevents any side effects of enemy Servants Noble Phantasm effect him should they attempt to do so. Also should a foe somehow be stronger and faster than him, Suchīru's ranks will steadily go up to match their and then eclipse it. The effect is continuous as it represents his ever growing strength and it cannot be cancelled even by magic cancelling Noble Phantasms.

Last Tsurugi, The Strongest and Sharpest Steel that will cut everything.

Type: Anti-unit~Anti-army

Rank: A+

Range: 10-1000

No. of Maximum Targets: As many as are within reach

A sword that looks similar to Clouds First Tsurugi in his fusion Blades. Suchīru's is larger than Cloud's making it a tiny bit bigger than the Buster sword. Unlike both weapons it was made by Argento one of the other Tsviets who exemplified the saying 'Strength hidden in weakness' and it was made out of a much denser heavier metal which would make it incredible hard to wield even by Weiss's standards. This sword was especially made for Suchīru to compliment his incredible strength and skill. He wields it as if it were weighing less than a feather able to change its angle and direction mid swing with no effort. The sword is capable of channelling Mako through it making it even more dangerous As Suchiru can increase its effectiveness by doing so also enabling him to use ranged attacks channelling the Mako energy like highly destructive projectiles. The Swords can also split outwards to form a type of bow which Suchīru can utilise to fire even more deadly ranged attacks. As a Noble Phantasm it represents Suchīru's personality, cold, sharp, lethal, and destructive if need be. When utilising this Noble Phantasm Suchīru can access all the Limit breaks that can be used with this type of sword including ones he has seen performed with similar blades.

The Final Phantasm, Limitless Limit Breaker

Type: Anti-world~Anti-army

Rank: EX

Range: 1-10000

Maximum no. of Targets: As many as are within range

Suchīru must to use this Noble Phantasm in conjunction with his other Noble Phantasm Last Tsurugi. The other Noble Phantasm's blade will slide back partially as the energy is channelled through the sword creating a second larger green blade of Mako Energy within the two separated parts of the sword. Like this it can level entire mountains and if charged even more can cut a planet in two. When like this no Servant would survive being struck. However if Suchīru is to use this noble Phantasm he will leave his master extremely drained and highly vulnerable as due to the Mako they would be exposed to. Also Suchīru should only employ this Noble Phantasm rarely as he cannote cannot regulate how much power is in it he can only feed it more power to increase its destructive capabilities. Suchīru himself will never use this Noble Phantasm unless it is against one he truly despises so if his master were to order him to use this Noble Phantasm they would have to use two command seals to do so. Once he has finished utilising this Noble Phantasm in it's last form Suchīru's other Noble Phantasm Last Tsurugi will not be available to him for use until the next day leaving hims partially vulnerable. making it an excellent time ore Servants to attack his master. However he can still utilise this one by concentrating its energy into another object either is a conventional or an unconventional weapon turning it into a B to A rank Noble Phantasm even after he can utilise Last Tsurugi again. However if he channels to much power into the said object like with reinforcement spells it will break or explode.


So yeah I went and decided to make this idea fic of it's own thanks Fate lover for your suggestion and I gave Suchīru some limitations that he would not normally have if he were there in person and not a servant. So he will comment on that later on how it restricts him and how he would have rather been summoned as Saber, Caster or even Assasin.

Suchīru himself does not pity Sakura or Kariya and empathises with them which for a being that was only capable of empathising with his fellow Deepground SOLDIER Suchīru will insist that he has a vested interest in ensuring that Sakura is freed from her circumstances.

He is aiding Kariya also because he admires that he would attempt to rescue Sakura from that fate by braving the Grail war as it shows how dedicated to the child he is. That is something the Tsviet of Steel can respect. Also Kariya with Berserker will be able to kill Kirei with little repercussions or hindrances as Berserker would easily rip Kirei to shreds and Kirei reminds Suchīru of Hojo with his lack of morals though he also reminds him of the Restrictors and the Deepground Scientists

This is Suchīru after he has discovered that Weiss is alive at the end of Dirge of Cerberus so he is not as bitter as he is in Tsviet of Steel.

Fate Lover has already expressed hope to see Kariya survive and rescue Sakura I myself wrote this with that premise in mind. Though I was also thinking of a fic with Hakuno and Gilgamesh from Fate Extra CCC popping up in Fate/Zero and deciding what the hell might as well win this shit again. That would shake things up a bit with the two Gilgamesh's fighting to the death.

Anyway if you have any feedback you would like to share please PM me or leave a review though like I usually say I would prefer Reviews as it is easier to reference that way when I am writing the next chapter. Also a Shout out to Fate's Reach by JAGA03 you should read that fic as well though it doesn't have Master Chief in it because he is beyond the reach of fate well according to the JAGA03 at any rate so havfun with Noble six in that crossover if you read it.
