Fate/No Heart

Disclaimer- I do not own Kingdom Hearts, Fate/Zero, or any of their respective works. If I did, it wouldn't be called Kingdom Hearts or Fate/(something).

Summary

Arriving at the city of Fuyuki, where the Holy Grail War is about to take place, Xehanort summons a Servant.

Obsidian and Gashadokuro- The HGW in this fic is the one that appears in Fate/Zero. The Servant that I'm pairing with Xehanort is one that did not appear in any of Nasu's work but was mentioned. I'm not going to say who it is that is going to be paired up with him, but know that it is a Caster type that has a connection to two of the Servants in F/Z.

Chapter 1-A New World


Fuyuki, a city divided into two section by the local river, is where the conflict takes place. In the dead of night where no one except those participating in the contest for the Holy Grail was awake, a man in a black coat arrived.


FATE NO HEART


The book that detailed the events of the Holy Grail Wars that had fallen on him was, evidently, the first of three volumes. Each one recounted the details of each war, with volume one holding the details of the first war-and so on.

It had taken him several readings of each volume to get the gist of what happened.

In the beginning, this Holy Grail War, which takes place once every sixty years, was not supposed to have been a war at all.

The first war was initially a ritual that was only possible through the cooperation of three family of mages. They were the Tohsaka's, the Makiri, and the Einzbern. The ritual was meant to allow the three clans by sacrificing each of the seven servants-Saber, Lancer, Archer, Rider, Berserker, Caster, and Assassin- and realized each of their greatest wish before quickly degenerating into a bloody free-for-all massacre upon the discovery that the Grail could only grant one single wish. Despite the fact that there should've been a clear winner, in the end, no wish was granted.

The second war was not that different from the first one as well.

Formally taking on the name of the "Holy Grail War," it had developed into a war for the second time and, like the war before it, had quickly escalated. The lack of any proper rules and restraints had turned the contest once again into blood bath with, once again, no clear winner.

The third war, he noted, was a bit more interesting.

Thanks to their unique sorcery trait, the Eldelfelts were able to have two representatives from their clan and summon not one, but two saber class servants.

The Einzberns, tired of their failure to win, summoned a new servant-one that would replace Berserker for the war. Hoping to finally win the third Holy Grail War, they have made modifications to the summoning system, enabling them to summon Avenger. However, it turned out that Avenger was weak and was thus killed promptly.

In the ensuing war, the lesser grail, a cup that had served as a vessel for the actual grail, was destroyed. As a result of this, the ritual to bring forth the Grail failed.

That is where that story ends.

And a new one begins.


Getting to this world was not a terribly arduous task. The world had been simple to locate using the resources within the library. The only problem was that the world was simply too far for him to reach it in time for the Holy Grail War. Thankfully, the Corridors of Darkness provided him a way to easily reach the far off world. In fact, with the Corridors of Darkness, getting to this world was incredibly easy. The dark portals are truly a significantly faster travel method. Much faster than using his keyblade's glider form to travel.

Xehanort took off his glove and looked at his hand, seeing a red X that have been split up into three parts branded on the back of his hand. After arriving in this world, the mark of a Master, the command seals, had suddenly appeared. As it had suddenly appeared the moment he set foot on this world, he could only assume that the reason for its appearance was due to the Holy Grail.

'Yes, the Holy Grail. To have chosen me as a Master so quickly, it surely must have sense my power. Perhaps the stories about the Holy Grail's omnipotence may be true after all.'

He put his black gloves back on.

'But I digress.'

Using the free map of the town Xehanort obtained from a nearby stand, he made his way towards the market district of Fuyuki City and took a note from out from one of his many pockets. It was a list of supplies and ingredients needed to create a summoning circle.

Approaching a store, Xehanort came to realize a very important question.

"I wonder...does this world accept munny?"


"Thanks to an anonymous tip, local authorities have found and identified the serial killer. The serial killer, named Uryuu Ryuunosuke, who had murdered a number of both children and women was found inside a local home. When cornered by the police, the serial killer took a young boy hostage and threatened to kill him immediately. This prompted negotiations with the serial killer until a careless slip caused Ryuunosuke to slit the boy's throat. The man was promptly gunned down. A witness at the scene reported that the Demon Uryuu Ryyuunosuke died with a smile on his face."

Tokiomi Tohsaka put down the newspaper.

How glad he was to discover that the serial murderer that had been plaguing this city had finally been located and put down. Of course, the loss of innocent child was horrible and tragic, but what mattered was that he could now be certain that both his wife and children were completely safe from the threat of death. Though it would've been unlikely, the very fact that the Demon, Ryuunosuke, mainly targeted women and children made the very possibility of it happening frightening to him.

He had put some thought about what would he do if the situation ever occurred to him. After some deep thoughts and self-reflection, he had found that, despite the ridiculously small chance that the situation would ever happened to him, if that were to ever happened to his wife, Aoi, and his children, both Rin and Sakura, he would've sank deep into sadness before going after the man in a fit of homicidal rage.

Luckily for him, he can rest relatively easy now.

Tokiomi took a swig of wine from his glass.

Night time was quickly approaching, yet there was still no signs of the seventh master. The plan to fool the other masters into thinking that Assassin was eliminated could not commence until the seventh servant was summoned.

He sighed. He would just have to wait for Risei to inform both him and Kirei when the seventh master manifests the final servant.


No. It appears as though this world does not accept munny for currency. Which was a shame, really, since he was loaded with munny from his earlier days of traveling the many worlds. It would appear that not only this world does not accept munny for currency, this world happens to have many different sorts of currency with each one that could only be used within a specific area of the world. He had found out the hard way when attempting to purchase five urns that the currency this particular part of the world uses to exchange goods and services is called 'yen'.

But alas, he did not have any. If only this world had a moogle stationed nearby, the little creatures had so much business sense, he could probably exchange his munny for this 'yen'.

Shame, there weren't any moogles around to do that for him. If only there were, he would not have had to knock a man out for his wallet. Oh, the indignity. Forced to resort to thievery to legally purchase goods with illegally gotten money.

He had to lure a man, a rather wealthy looking individual with blond hair and a pale complexion, into a nearby alley in the market district. It's a wonder what a little compulsion spell can do to a person. After that, all he had to do was use a sleep spell on him and the man soon fell into a deep slumber. Afterwards, with the vast amount of yen that he had obtained from mugging a man, he purchased supplies from various stores that he needed to use for the summoning ritual.

Except for the blood, he already had prepared those in a bunch of vials with his own blood beforehand. It would've been very suspicious and odd to the denizens of this world if he had went around asking where he could purchase blood of all things.

After gathering all the materials and placing them in his pocket (which thanks to his magic, it can hold anything so long as he does not exceed the limit of ninety nine for each item), Xehanort made his way to the forest area to perform the summoning.

Using one of the books he had found from the Master's Library from the Land of Departure to help guide him through the process, Xehanort drew the summoning circle with blood.

"Let's see..." he muttered to himself. "Fill each of the five urns...and when each is filled, destroy it."

He poured a vial of blood into an urn and destroyed it. He repeated this for the next four.

Usually in a normal summoning ritual, either a chant, relic, or anything similar would be used to specified what one wanted to summon. For example, if he had wanted to summon a giant anthropomorphic chicken, he would use a one of the feathers it had shed in life as a charm to summon it.

However, as the Grail itself is what is doing the actual summoning, a relic was not necessary for the process. It could change the results of the summoning, true. But it was not necessary. In fact, he felt that doing this would be preferable to using an actual relic to summon. Though he could choose to summon a powerful servant by using a relic, doing so would be pointless if the servant was not compatible thus becoming insubordinate and unwilling to follow his orders.

That, and he seriously doubt that any of his own relics that he has collected over the years from many worlds would work here.

Bu he still needed to chant.

He stretched his arm outwards in front of him and open his hand.

"Darkness, heed my call..."

The summoning circle began to glow with a bright blue color.

"In the pursuit of power and knowledge..."

A wave of power began to emanate from the summoning circle.

"Give me a Servant..."

The summoning circle's glow began to increase in intensity and the power emanating from the circle began to grow in force.

"One that will lead me to the Holy Grail..."

The surrounding area became lit up in a bright light.

"So I may call upon what my heart desires most..."


"Kingdom Hearts."


The area became engulfed in a bright light. So bright, Xehanort had to close his eyes. The trees began to shake, and the ground itself started to rumble.

Yet as quickly as it came, it began to stop. The intensity of the light began to decrease. The rumbling began to cease. The wave of power emanating from the summoning circle began to fade.

When it all came to an end, he opened his eyes.

And he saw was his servant. His servant was a pale woman that could be seen as beautiful. She has black hair and a dark purple dress that reminded Xehanort of a stereotypical mage outfit.

"I am Servant Caster," his servant began as she smiled darkly.

"I ask of you, are you my Master?"


Hi, this is Kanimize again. After weeks of procrastination (I like to thank both KH 1.5, 2.5, and Tekken for that), chapter two is out. Like last time, if you like or dislike this, leave a review explaining why. If you have a burning question that you want answer, leave a review, pm, or any other method. Thanks for reading.
