Chapter 2: Archer
In the basement of Tohsaka Manor, smoke was coming out of the basement.
Coughing out some of the smoke, Rin Tohsaka waved a hand to clear out some of the smoke away from her face.
Rin was attractive 16 year old young woman, with storm grey eyes and long wavy black hair, which was tied into twin-tails. She was wearing red turtleneck with a black skirt and long black socks.
With some of the smoke clearing, Rin went to see if she was successful in summoning a Servant. For you see, Rin is part of the Tohsaka family, one of the three families that originally created the Holy Grail Wars. So just like her father before her, Rin aim to compete in the fifth Grail War and win it. But in order to compete in Grail War, one needs a Servant.
So when Rin try to summon one, instead of it bursting out a into a flashing light. Her summoning circle exploded!
Rin didn't know what she did wrong. She had followed her father's notes exactly to the letter. She had gather all the ingredients and made all the preparations, nothing should have gone wrong. As Rin pander what happened, a figure step out of the smoking summoning circle.
And what Rin saw made her gasp out in shock.
There standing right in front of her, was the most beautiful man, Rin had ever saw. He had long blonde hair that reach his upper back with sky color blue eyes. Hiding under his hair, Rin could see, he appeared to have pointed ears as well. He wore a combination of a green tunic with leather armor complete with armored shoulders pads, wrist guards, and leather boots. On his back, he had two twin long knives alongsideā¦.. A bow and quiver fill with arrows.
The servant step up to the shock Rin and bowed. "Hello milady, I am the Servant Archer for the duration of this Holy Grail War. I ask of you." Sky blue eyes met stormy gray. "Are you my master"?
Rin's responds was, not what the Servant was expecting.
"Argh, I wanted Saber!" Rin cried out in anger, as she pulled on her pony-tails in comical frustration.
The Servant Archer could only look on at the strange sight, with a confused look. What had he gotten himself into this time?
After calming herself down, from the disappointment of not getting Saber. Rin began questioning her Servant on his skill sets as well as his Noble Phantasms. Surprisingly her Servant, while not powerful, was extremely skilled. He had more than proven that, when Rin had him show her what he could do. Suffice to say, she was feeling really confident on wining this war.
Which leads to the now. Where Rin and Archer were facing an enemy Servant. At Rin's High School.
It was nighttime at Homurahara Academy. All the students and stuff have long since left, leaving the place utterly deserted. Making this the perfect place for a battle between Heroic Spirits.
In the courtyard, where Rin, now wearing a red coat over herself, stood behind Archer as he stared down the enemy Servant. The Servant was clothed in a skin-tight blue bodysuit, covering his whole body beside his hands. He had spiky blue hair with a ponytail in the back. He also appear to had red eyes, a strange sight to see, even for a Servant. To complete his look, he carried a red spear with runes carved into it.
Both Archer and Rin knew without a doubt, this was the Servant Lancer. The Servant of the Spear.
Lancer smirk smugly at Archer, as he lazing look him over. "So" he said.
Using his spear to point at Archer, he continued. "Judging by the bow and arrows, I say you must be Archer. Right?"
With lightning fast speed, Archer pullout his bow and notch an arrow in it and let it fly. The arrow flew at surprisingly and incredible speed, as it broke through the sound barrier in its flight towards Lancer. A normal person wouldn't able see, let alone act against such an arrow.
But with the same lightning fast speed, Lancer use his spear to block the arrow, knocking it out of the air.
"Oi, oi, oi." Lancer said, as he put his spear on his shoulders. "That's no way to respond to someone asking you a question". His smirk widen a little, and said in a mocking tone. "You could poke my eye with one of those things."
Archer responded by firing off even more arrows.
His face becoming serious, Lancer brought his spear to bear, and began blocking and knocking arrows out of the air. With incredible speed and skill, Archer fired off arrow, after arrow, after arrow with his movements were all but a blur. It almost like Archer was firing off a machine gun instead of bow and arrow. The speed matching that of bullets.
But Lancer was just as fast. He block every single one of arrows that came his way. His spear was all but a red blur, as he twirled it around himself, knocking those bullet speed arrows away from him. Only a few lucky shots manage to cut him. A cut on face from one arrow that got pass his guard, another cut on each arm from two ricochet arrows, and one on his thigh when Archer shot one of his arrows at the ground and it somehow rebound off the ground and cut Lancer on his thigh.
Lancer was silently impress, few ever manage to get pass his guard with a bow and arrows.
The two ancient warriors began running in a circle, as they both continue their respectable offence and defense. Archer continue to fire off his sound breaking arrows, never losing either his strife or speed in notching an arrow as he run across Lancer. Lancer continue blocking every arrow sent his way, even adding in a weaving dodge or by rolling as he runs. Suddenly, both Servants skidded to a halt.
The two Servant stared each other off. Both waiting to see what the other will do.
Lancer was the one break the silence. "Got to say". He said with a friendly tone and smile. As he wipes away the blood from his cheek with his numb. "You earned your spot as Archer. It not everyday someone can get past my guard with a bow and arrow. Where I'm from, I'm famous for knocking them out of the air."
Surprisingly Archer responds. "You have also earn your place, Lancer." His tone was hard but there was a hit of warm to it. "Never in my long life, have I seen everyone be able to block my arrows." A twitch of his lips, almost becoming a smile. "Where I am from, I'm known never to miss"
Lancer couldn't help but laugh at that. He couldn't help but respect Archer. It not every day, he gets to fight a strong and skilled opponent. But also help that he wasn't an ass, makes this all the better for Lancer.
Archer couldn't stop the smile from forming on his face. The blue spearman, reminds Archer too much of his dear dwarven friend from his life. Both Lancer and the axe wielding dwarf both have a love for fighting, were both skilled with their respectable weapons, and if Archer had to guess he say they both shared a love for drinks as well. The comparisons between the spearman and his friend, made Archer like and respect Lancer.
"Hey, what you smiling about?" Lancer's voice, broke Archer out of his musing. As Lancer sent him a questioning look.
Still smiling, Archer wave his hand to the side. "It nothing, I am simply remembering an old friend."
Lancer nodded with an understanding smile. "I understand"
Letting a breath, Lancer got into a ready position with his spear pointed forward. Lancer then said, "Well I ready to go again. You?" He got a nod from Archer. "But we're pretty much going to stay in a stalemate if you keep using your bow. Don't you think?"
Archer nodded to his words. "You are right." Archer said, as he unequipped his bow. "Long-range has failed me." With fast lightning speed, Archer unsheathe his two long knives. Twirling them around in his hands, bringing them in a ready position. "Let us see close-range will fail me as well. Come Lancer, let us begin!"
With a burst of supernatural speed, Archer rocketed toward Lancer, crating the ground where he once stood.
Laughing with glee, Lancer grin and said. "Alright, bring it!" With another burst of superhuman speed, Lancer launched himself toward Archer.
The two Heroic Spirits met in the middle, their clash letting out a huge boom! The ground cratered under them, as Lancer and Archer lock their individual weapons. Both pushing against each other, trying to get an edge on their opponent, by overpowering each other.
Using his superior physical strength, Lancer push Archer back. Making Archer stumble.
Not wasting anytime, Lancer thrust his spear forward, trying to pierce Archer's chest. But Archer quickly recover, and use his twin knives to block the thrust. He then redirect Lancer's thrust, with one of knives. Using the other knife, Archer swipe at Lancer, hoping for a finishing strike. But Lancer rolled with misdirected thrust, saving himself and gaining some space between him and Archer.
The two warriors stared at each other. Then they charge again!
The air crack, the ground cratered, and concrete was sent flying as Archer and Lancer battle. Sparks fly, as their weapons met in a deadly dance, as they twirled around each other. As the two warriors fought, spear and knives met again and again. They swipe, thrust, kick, dodge, and weave past each other attacks. It was a show of true superhuman skill and ability, as they battle. It was not clear, who could overcome who.
But it becoming alarmingly clear, that it was Archer, who was the one being overwhelm. He was slowing gaining more and more injuries as the fight goes on. A deep cut on his shoulder, when he failed to fully block Lancer's thrust. A bruise forming on his head from getting hit by the palm of Lancer's spear. Bruised ribs from a kick from Lancer that sent Archer skidding a few feet, and not being recover time for Lancer's continue assault. Which had earn Archer two more cuts on his chest and left leg. Archer knew if he didn't do something to change the flow of the battle, he was going to lose!
Lancer manage to hit Archer at his head with the side of his spear. But Archer also sent a swift kick to Lancer at the same time as Lancer's hit. Both their attacks send each other flying. The two warrior flew through the air, but both manage to flip and right themselves. Skidding to a halt, both Archer and Lancer were about jump right into the fight.
If wasn't for sound of snapping of a twig.
SPAP!
Surprised, both warriors turn to the origin of the sound. There standing a few meters away from them was red haired teenager wearing the full body brown Homurahara Academy uniform. Having been spotted, the redhead broke out of his stupefy expression, and broke into a run.
"Tch", Lancer let out in anger. Turning back to Archer, he pointed his spear to him and said. "You stay right there, I'll be back to finish this fight after I take care of the kid".
He turned around and started running after the redhead, disappearing in a blur. But before he left, he had said. "No witnesses. Right."
"Archer, go after him and stop Lancer!" Rin shouted out somewhere behind Archer.
Archer nodded, and with superhuman speed, raced after Lancer. As Archer ran after Lancer, he could only hope that he could reach the teen before Lancer did.
At street corner nearby the Fuyuki City Church, Archer and Saber were battling the unstoppable Berserker.
After Rin and Archer manage to save redhead, who would turn out to be Shirou Emiya, Rin's classmate. They had left to find Lancer. But they both would later find out, after checking Shirou to see if he was still alright, that Shirou manage to summon Saber, the Servant of the Sword.
Which led to the now, where after joining the War, Shirou and Rin were ambush by Berserker and his Master Illyasviel von Einzbern.
Berserker was grey skinned giant, with massive muscles ripping as they move, and was wearing some kind of kilt. But scary part, was the weapon he was wielding. It look like the mix between an axe and a sword, it was also huge, easily being the size of a normal size man.
When Berserker was ordered to attack. Both Saber and Archer attacked the grey-skin giant together. But it became clear quickly that their attacks were useless against the mad Servant.
Archer had attacked first, by firing off arrows against the giant. But Archer's arrows broke against Berserker's stone-like skin. He switch tactics, unsheathing his knives, he attack with precise strikes. But all they did was annoy the mad Servant, and the monster quickly put Archer on the defensive, by swinging his axesword.
Saber attacked next, using her invisible sword attack Berserker. But Saber's strikes were either blocked or dodged by Berserker. Berserker quickly return the favor by swinging his axesword against Saber's invisible blade. Every strike Saber blocked, either hurt her arms by the sheer force of the blow or sent her flying.
The two were quickly becoming overwhelm by Berserker's insane strength and surprising skill.
With bellowing roar, Berserker sent his huge axesword slicing through the air toward Archer and Saber. With sounding boom, they manage to block it, Archer with his twin knives and Saber's invisible sword. But the sheer force behind the blow, was too much for them and sent both of them flying.
They both manage to flip in the air and right themselves, landing on the ground and skidding to a halt.
"Curses!" Saber called out in frustration. She was cut and bruise from the battle and she breathing heavily from the newest blow. "Nothing seems to work! I never faced a foe like this. He must have some kind of weakness!"
Archer could only nod. He too was breathing heavily, his body aching from the blows and strikes from Berserker. He has never seen anything like this. This level of strength, not even the trolls from back home could ever hope produce. Combine with that impregnable skin, it made it close to impossible to kill or injure Berserker.
'It must be some kind of Noble Phantasm.' Archer thought, trying to figure out a way to beat Berserker. 'There must be a limit to it, nothing is truly invincible. Which means the only way to beat it would be-.'
"Saber", Archer whisper to his ally.
Saber turn to look at Archer, giving him her attention. Archer continue whispering, "Could you distract Berserker, while I power my Noble Phantasm? It should have enough power to pierce that invulnerable hided of his."
Saber nodded and whispered back. "How long do you need?"
"A few seconds." Was the reply.
Saber nodded again and with a loud battle cry and a use of Pana Burst, Saber rocketed toward Berserker. Berserker upon seeing Saber fly toward him, let out a bellowing roar in return, and he too charge forward with surprisingly speed, that should be impossible for someone of that size. Yet, Berserker could.
The two Servants collided, Axesword met invisible sword, as the ground cratered under them as the two warriors strike at each other again and again.
Still standing where he landed, Archer began to power up his Noble Phantasm. Blue energy burst around Archer, as he began to gather the energy needed for his attack. Archer then twirled his two knives and sheathe them, then he crouch to one knee and equip his bow from his back. The blue energy that bursting around Archer then began to transfer into his bow, making it glow with heavenly blue.
Illya upon seeing the level of energy Archer was gathering for his attack, cried out in fear. "Berserker, forget about Saber! Kill Archer!"
Obeying his master, Berserker hit Saber with an overhead swipe that send her into the ground. Roaring, Berserker charge toward his new target, Archer.
Archer pull out one arrow from his quiver. The arrow too began to start glowing.
Seeing this, Berserker roared again and pick up speed in his charge. Trying to reach his foe, before he could finish his attack.
Archer, not caring about Berserker, notch his arrow. More energy burst forth around him, and the arrow began glowing even more. The arrow glowing with incredible power, became a light arrow. Archer then aim his light arrow at the charging Berserker.
"Berserker!" Archer call out. "Know this, when you return to the Throne of Heroes. Know that it was Legoles, son of Thranduil of Mirkwood that had defeated you!" Archer then called out his Noble Phantasm's name.
"Bow of Galladhrim. FIRE!"
And so Legoles, prince of the Woodland Realms, and member of the Fellowship of the Ring. Let his arrow fly.

This bow was given to Archer at Lothlorien. The bow had a draw weight of about 150 pounds. It could reputedly send an arrow with fatal force for over 400 yards. The bow was made from a single piece of Mallorn heartwood, a very strong durable wood. Its string had a single strand of Elf Queen, Galadriel's hair entwined with it to help speed the arrow along even faster. Any arrow fired from this bow, after calling on its name will become an almost instant kill shot.
That's right, Legolas from 'Lord of the Rings' as Archer. Bet you didn't see that coming.
I like to think I did a better job with Archer' Servant Stats than I did with Berserker Hulk. I will try to fix that by the way, but for right now I'll be putting out more chapters.
