Chapter 2

Reveal

She pulled away from the hug but stayed at his level, is something the matter papa?

Shirou didn't know how to answer that. He had many questions, however at the top of the list was who she was, who he was, where she came from, and why she referred to him as her father. I... Don't understand why you're calling me papa. I'm only a high school student and haven't been in any relationships.

She rose to her full height once more and seemed to consider his words for a moment. Well, it's possible that the spell I cast was as far as she got as the spearman spear burst through the wall and passed inches by her face and embedding itself in the wall.

With a sigh, she walked to the spear and pulled it from the wall. Papa, I have so many things I want to ask you as I'm sure you do too, however, I must first deal with this mutt.

From outside Lancer yelled I heard that at the insult.

Shirou seemed uncomfortable with someone else fighting his battles for him. Clenching his hand into a tight fist, he gave her a determined stare. I can't let you fight my battles for me, I may not be strong or a warrior like he calls himself. But I promised.

A gloved finger met his lips, I know you promised your papa that you would save people and become a hero. However, you're not strong enough to take him on yet papa.

Shirou closed his eyes and looked away only to have his face cupped and brought back to her.

I said yet papa, a light chuckle in her voice. You and mama are great hero's from my time not to mention my two favorite people in the world.

Shirou felt his cheeks redden at the compliment, unsure of what to say he gave a weak um

Another light chuckle as she ruffled his hair, like I said papa, once Lancer is dealt with we can finally have a nice reunion and figure this out. Walking to the doorway she hefted the spear up and threw it with a considerable amount of force.

Lancers' eye's widened as his spear was now barreling towards him. Snapping out of it he sidestepped it while grabbing it. Twirling it and keeping the momentum of the throw he spun and met the katana of the girl. Well, how about we see which of us is better with a friendly spar?

Pushing him away she said unamused, you threw your spear through a wall to try and kill me. Not exactly the most friendly thing to do.

Lancer just shrugged and smirked, well you did fling me out of the shed and ignored me so I guess that makes us even.

Tilting the blade of the katana in his direction to ready herself for combat, she snorted, and here I thought dogs were meant to be outside.

I am not a dog! Lancer rushed forward, blitzing saber with a flurry of spear strikes and stabs.

Saber blocked each, the metal of her katana meeting his spear as she redirected each of his strikes. Moving inside his spears effective range it was her turn to dish out damage as she started to strike at him, slashing and cutting at him with masterful precision.

Lancer had to backpedal as he sidestepped and leaned back to avoid these close-range strikes. Looking for an opening he waited until she went for a horizontal slash. When his time came he ducked under it and swept at her legs with his own.

Reacting instantly, she jumped over the leg sweep and brought her sword down hard. The resulting boom shaking tiles of the roof and the trees of the courtyard as there weapons met.

I must say you are skilled Saber, Lancer grinned as the ground cracked under the strength of the servant. However, I was told to hold back to gauge the servants, since I'm having fun lets bump it up a bit. In a flash, a shockwave of strength erupted from Lancer as he pushed her away and moved. He was on her as soon as she landed, showering her with blows from his spear. With a faint from the bottom of his spear, he brought the spearhead down to find purchase in Sabers cloak, tearing a gash diagonally across the chest of it. Kicking her away he smirked.

Landing on her feet unharmed from the kick and cut she looked down at the gash on her cloak. Raising a hand over hit and clutching the cloak tightly, she pulled it off in one swift moment.

Shirou had been watching the fight from the tool shed, he felt beads of sweat run down his head as he tried to keep up with it. They move so fast he marveled, he had been worried when he saw her cut and kicked away from Lancer. He was about to run to her aid, he felt a knot in the pit of stomach form at the prospect of her getting hurt. Shirou had always been this way, he was a generally nice and caring person that strived to help everyone. This, however, was different, it felt the same as seeing Kiritigu in pain at the final days of his life. But I don't know her he thought, she can't be my daughter. All thought processes were stopped as she clutched her cloak and removed it. Shirou's eyes widened as he saw the features of his savior.

Lancer eyed her warily, with the cloak gone, he could more accurately gauge his opponent. She had on a pair of black boots, baggy pitch black pants, belts making an "X" around her waist with pouches and a holstered gun of some kind, a black tank top, and a purple scarf covering her from neck to nose, she had two different eye colors, one being blue and the other pink, white hair flowing down to her lower back, and the most striking thing being her pointed elf ears. With a raised eyebrow, he twirled his spear and rested it on his shoulder, I don't recognize you as any heroic spirit I've ever heard of.

You're Dead

Smirking and calling her bluff Lancer asks, What? Are you mad about your cloak?

I was going to let you live out of respect for my papa and the joy of finally meeting him. Now, however, her scarf started to glow with an odd purple design as she slowly rose into the air.

Not believing it, Lancer continued to jab at her. All this anger for some piece of fabric, grow up.

The air started to ripple around them, she continued to rise coming to stop as she glared down upon him. Her eyes narrowed in anger as her sword glowed dark purple energy as she absorbed mana from her surroundings.

Lancer was about to jab at her again when he heard the priest in the back of his mind thanks to the link. Get out of there Lancer, she is gathering up mana and we still don't know enough about that servant to safely kill her. Kotomine examined the servant through the link, he also had no idea as to who this was. There were too many unknowns and he couldn't waste his pawn yet.

Lancer grimaced at the thought of retreating but begrudgingly agreed. He turned to flee only to fall to the ground after the first step. Reality catching up to him, he yelped in pain as he writhed on the ground.

As if I would let you escape she snarled out, her hand outstretched as three circles faded around her.

Lancers cried out in pain as his legs were vaporized from the knee down. Growling through gritted teeth he tried to push himself up to try to make an attempt at throwing his spear at her to find that he couldn't move. His eyes widened as he saw the white wires coiling around his arms and the rest of his body. Looking back he saw glowing circles around start to fade, her hand outstretched towards him. Eyes wide, he yells at her. What are you!

Ignoring the question she stated simply, I have the heart of my father when it comes to caring and helping people. The wires started to tighten and cut into his skin as she started to close her hand. However, for those that are foolish enough to harm, disrespect, or break things important to them or me. She closes her hand more, causing Lancer to cry out in pain as they dug even deeper into his body. I take an approach my mother was quite fond of, I'm going to kill you like the worm you are. She closed her hand into a fist and Lancer let out a startled the last gasp as the wires cut right through him, cutting him to little pieces that faded to gold light.

She stared for a couple of minutes at the fading bits of Lancer, then she grabbed her head as a major headache hit her and she fell from the air. Expecting to hit the ground she managed to open her eyes to find her in the arms of her papa, darkness started to overtake her vision. The last thing she was able to say was simple but something she had been wanting her whole life.

Papa

Shirou sighed, he didn't know what to think about her. She had saved his life, however, what she did to Lancer sent shivers down his spine. Top it all off with her calling him Papa before passing out in his arms. He couldn't just leave her like this. Making up his mind he made his way back inside, sparing another glance at her as he made his way, he didn't feel the smile on his face form at the thought of her going to be ok.

Kotomine Church

Kotomine was not a man that got startled easily, however, when he saw the last moments of Lancer through the link that had made him uneasy. Raising his hand to his chin, he paced around the church.

A figure in the appearing out of nowhere from a golden light strolled down the middle of the church.

Something wrong Kotomine?

Glancing his way, he kept pacing. Lancer has been killed.

The newcomer scoffs, worry not for that dog. He was nothing but fodder. Eyeing the priest and his demeanor he could sense something to relieve him of his boredom has happened. What did he discover?

Kotomine stopped pacing and turned to address him, he found the seventh servant and tested her combat potential.

Taking an interest, the newcomer asked, the king of knights?

The priest shakes his head, no not her. This one is one that I nor Lancer recognize. She did, however, have proficiency with a sword and magic when she fought Lancer that much was evident.

The newcomer scoffs again and walks away. Some nameless mongrel, let them kill each other for a while, it matters not to us.

The priest was unsure of this but decided to drop it for now and keep up his act as mediator. An evil smirk coming to his face as this had to the potential to be a very interesting grail war.

Ryuooda Temple

Caster eyed the new servant through her spell, witnessing the whole battle.

Interesting, she watched with fascination as she dealt with Lancer in a lovely display of Magic. She gauged her through the whole fight, coming to the conclusion that if she hadn't been summoned as a Caster first she could have filled it if her display was anything to go by.

As the fight finished Caster had made up her mind on the matter, with her current master her puppet and completely subservient, she would take this Saber for herself.

Smiling, she set about coming up with a plan to do just that, with the mana she has she can easily summon or support a servant. You will be mine, Saber.

Outside of the Emiya Residence

Rin was about to continue forward and knock on the door when her servant stopped her.

What are you doing? She looked at him with confusion and slight anger.

Lancer has died, his eyes not moving away from the property before them, as if waiting or expecting something to happen.

How do you know? He was pretty tough, maybe he just fled...

No, Archer now met her gaze, his expression dead serious. Whatever happened from the time we faced Lancer to now has ended and with it his life.

Rin took a step back, do you know what got him? Her eyes moving back to the property.

Archer honestly didn't, usually, by this point, the king of knights would be coming over the wall and attacking him, yet that didn't happen. Lancer also wasn't seen retreating away like usual when they arrive here like he was used to. Something was definitely off, but he couldn't tell Rin, not yet, so he opted for a half-truth.

The seventh servant got to him most likely, also moving his gaze back to the property. He probably got into a fight with them and lost.

Rin seemed to believe him as her stare narrowed. So that means that Emiya is a master. Turning on her heel, she started to walk away from the property.

Come, Archer, we need to formulate a plan.

Eyeing the property for a moment more he faded away to follow her all the while thinking about how different this is from his memory.

Holy Grail Chamber

Something stirred within the Grail.

Something was woken up with not only the death of Lancer but the unknown Servant summoned and it wasn't happy about it.

Author's Note: So here is chapter 2, this chapter was really hard for me to write because I wanted to have that cool fight scene between Saber and Lancer but also wanted to describe the new character and have different conversations from different places at the end. As always thank you for taking the time to read, I know that I'm not the best at writing fanfics but I hope you found at least a little bit of enjoyment in this chapter. See you next chapter!
