Chapter 1: Summoning the first Six and Meeting the Servants.
Hello world of fanfiction. My name is CosmicDragon98, and this is my first story. I hope you like it. Reviews are nice, criticism welcomed and wanted, advice I would gladly take, and flames will be fed to the hellhound in the basement. I would also like to take the time to point out that I don't own The Fate Franchise, Sengoku Basara, Yu-Gi-Oh, or RWBY. But damn do I dream of it.

Kiritsugu looked on in shock, with a myriad of thoughts running through his head. 'Had the ritual failed' he thought 'I was supposed to summon King Arthur, but this is…'. His thoughts were disrupted by a voice-a womanly voice- coming from the circle "I ask again, are you my master". The speaker was a young blonde wom- no, he could not even call her that. What stood before him was not a women, but a young girl. She turned her body to better face him, staring directly into his eyes. The Magus Killer composed himself. "Yes" he responded. "Then the contract is now complete. I am servant Saber. May we win this war together, Master." the newly identified Saber announced. Saber preceded to look around the church, briefly looking at Irisviel and Old Man Acht. Once she was satisfied she turned back to Kiritsugu and asked "What now, Master?" "For now follow Irisviel to your room. We leave for Japan in a few weeks." Saber nodded and turned to Irisviel, and followed her out of the room. Kiritsugu turned to Acht and asked "Was that really King Arthur?" "You have a lot to learn my boy." Acht replied "Just remember our deal. You must win the Grail." Kiritsugu looked at Acht- who swore he saw something mysterious and dangerous in those eyes- and said "I know. I will not fail." Kiritsugu walked out of the church and, once he got past the double doors, pulled out his cell phone. A call needed to be made.

Kirei was more than just a bit confused about the situation at hand. When his master had given him his catalyst (which, Kirei noted, was a mere stone tablet with a snake-like monster on it) Kirei was prepared for Hassan-i-Sabbah, the Old Man of the Mountain. What he got was… different to say the least. The man standing in front of him was tan-skinned, wearing a red-robe, lined with white, a blue short skirt, and sandals. On his wrist he had a band with a strange device attached to it. It looked like a wing, made of gold, with some sort of slot on it. The man had long white hair, dark purple eyes, with a long scar under his right eye.
The servant turned to Kirei and spoke, in what appeared to be a slight British accent. "So you are my master?" "That is correct." Kirei said. "Hmph. Well I am the servant Assassin. If you help me, than I will help you. Are we clear Master." Kirei pondered this for a second before replying. "Very well Assassin. However, I must know one thing. I meant to summon Hassan-i-Sabbah, however you do not appear to be him. What is your name?" At this Assassin gave, in what was Kirei's opinion, the biggest trolling grin ever. "You wish to know my name. Very well. I am the man who ransacked the tombs of the pharaohs of Egypt. I am he who nearly brought the world to its knees. My name, Master, is Bakura, the King of Thieves!"

Waver Velvet panted with exertion. He had found a relatively nice place to stay for the duration of the war. That was the good news. The bad news was, that he had to catch chickens, in order to use their blood for the summoning seal. After a few failed attempts, one of which almost set a house on fire, Waver had collected enough blood to perform the ritual. He set the circle up, placed the relic (a small, yellow, crescent shaped ornament) in the circle, and spoke the incantation. Smoke had billowed out, obscuring Waver's vision, and bringing us back to the present.
Waver looked up, not knowing who was staring back at him. The man was tall, and wore armour, with a blue overcoat. On each side, the man carried three swords, giving him a total of six. How he could wield them Waver had no clue. On his head, the man wore a kabuki helmet with, what Waver noticed was the same as the relic, a yellow crescent on the front. The man was clean shaven, but the most interesting thing about was the eyepatch over his right eye. The man's single eye locked onto both of Waver's, before looking him up and down.
"Scrawny thing aren't you" the man finally said "But it could be worse. Hey Master, I'm the Rider for this Holy Grail War." "Who-who are you?" Waver managed to stutter out. "Who am I? Man, they must not teach you kids proper history. Listen up kid cause I'm only going to say this once. I'm the Big Boss of Oshu, The One-Eyed Dragon, Date Masamune!"... … … … "..Who?"

Kayneth El-Melloi Archibald-aka Lord El-Melloi the First-had been rather angry for the past few weeks. First, his original relic for the Holy Grail War was stolen by that upstart student of his Waver Velvet. This caused his family to scrounge around for another relic- which turned out to be, of all things, a golden tiara. The deliverer did not specify who the servant would be, or even what class the servant would be. Than he and his fiancee had to fly out to this backwater, God-forsaken country, filled with filthy orientals, in order to 1) summon his servant, and 2) fight in the War. The only plus side to this situation would be that Waver Velvet would most likely be here, and Kayneth could avenge himself upon the brat. However, now was not the time to be thinking about that. He had just completed the summoning ritual, and was staring at his Servant with a mix of confusion, annoyance, and apprehension.
The person standing before him was a young women, around the age of 18. She wore a red corset with gold plating for armour, and a red silk battle skirt. She wore boots of the same red-gold plating design, and bracers that were also the same. Around her head the young women wore a gold tiara, exactly the same as the catalyst used in the ritual. On her back the young women what appeared to be a sword and shield, again of the same red-gold design. However, Kayneth thought her most striking feature to be her green eyes.
The women looked at both him and Sola-Ui, before speaking. "I am the Servant Lancer. It is an honor to meet you Master." Kayneth continued to stare in shock, so Sola-Ui spoke up. "Hello Lancer. My name is Sola-Ui and this man beside me is Kayneth. We will both be sharing the role as your master for the duration of this role. If it is not too much trouble, might we ask for your name?" "You need only ask Mistress. My name is Pyrrha Nikos, and it is an honor to meet you." Kayneth decided to speak up. "You already said that." Lancer's face turned as red as her hair and she stuttered for a bit before shouting out "I'm sorry!"

Kariya writhed on the ground in agony. The crest worms that had made their home in his body were acting up again, with the sensation magnified due to the ritual for the Holy Grail War. He had been forced by his father, Zouken, to summon the servant Berserker, using some sort of golden sphere with wings as the catalyst. Should he win this, Sakura would be free of Zouken's control. He had to win. He had to.
As his senses came back to him, he picked up on Zouken speaking "...master is on the ground." Kariya got up and looked back at the circle, seeing the servant he had summoned. It was a man, wearing boots, tan pants, a black sleeveless shirt, and a purple cloak. He carried some sort of golden rod, the headpiece of which looked like the catalyst for the ritual. The most interesting thing about the servant was his face. The man was grinning from ear to ear, as though someone just told him a hilarious joke. He also had veins pulsating through his skin, 'Similar to mine' Kariya thought. The man's hair was white, sticking up every which way, and looking very much like a pineapple.
Berserker looked at Kariya before laughing and speaking in a voice that sounded much like the voice of a demon. "So you are my master. Fair warning you fool, I am not one to be easily controlled. You will help me obtain the Grail, and in return I may allow you use it's power as well. Deal?" Kariya did not have to think long about the offer, he wanted to win, and Berserker seemed so sure of himself. "Deal." Kariya said "Now let's go Berserker, we have a war to win."

Tokiomi Tohsaka smiled. He had completed the summoning ritual and had gotten his servant. The mighty Gilgamesh was now his servant, although the King of Heroes did not realize it. That fool still believed that he was king of everything. Didn't that fool realize that eons had passed. He was not in charge of the world anymore. Now others were in charge, men like him. But that was beside the point.
Gilgamesh had retired to the wine cellar, intent of feasting upon its contents. He had sent Aoi and Rin away, and Sakura was… no, none of that. She was not his daughter anymore. He had more important things to do. At long last, The Root of All Magic would be in his grasp. But for now, he needed to call Kirei. It was time to put their plan into action.
That's chapter one. My first chapter. Feels good. Let me know what you guys think. Also, submit ideas as to who you think the servants are. Here is a hint: Archer and Saber are the same as canon. The others aren't. Next chapter, we meet Caster. It will be long because I love my idea for Caster. You'll see. I will post one servant's stats and skills for the first few chapters, except for Sabers and Archers. The first fight at the shipping containers won't happen till the third chapter. This is CosmicDragon98, signing out.
