A hill of swords. That was the only way to describe it. Countless blades littered the ground, and it was clear that nothing aside from those swords could live there.

There wasn't a single tree, not even grass could be seen in these place. The water was nonexistent, as no river could be seen anywhere.

The sky was full of clouds and really little light trespassed them. Metallic gears were floating alongside the clouds. It was clear that the gears were damaged, it looked like they were ready to fall at any moment. However, they continued moving, as the machine they belonged to haven't found it's end yet.

And in the middle of it, several beings with enough power to take a weak Servant on their own faced a man dressed in red with white hair.

"What is this place?" One of the powerful beings spoke.

"My soul, Unlimited Blade Works." The man in red replied.

And that day, nobody lived to see the sunlight again.

(Scene Break)

"Unlimited Blade Works..." Kiritsugu whispered while he awoke.

What was that? Again, he had a weird dream. Just like the dream of the fire, since he summoned Saber his dreams had been like that...Saber...

Then, everything made click. When the Einzbern explained him how the Grail War worked, they told him something that he didn't pay much attention back then. They told him about the dream cycle.

The dream cycle was a side effect of summoning a Servant, they told him that he will kept dreaming about his Servant's past.

And then again, nothing about Saber made sense anymore. This dream? He could take it, at some point in his life Saber fought someone strong and died, pretty much like any other Heroic Spirit.

What didn't make any sense was the dream of the fire. What was Saber doing there? Why was him with someone who looked like an older version of the dying boy? And, what did he mean with ''Hey, that's hell you're walking into''?

His train of thought leaded him to his most recent dream again, specifically to what Saber said.

'My soul'...What was that supposed to mean? Was something happening that he couldn't see, or was he talking about that place?

No, he had to be talking about the hill of swords. Kiritsugu didn't know why but he understood that.

But then again, if he was talking about that place does that mean that his Noble Phantasm, the 'Unlimited Blade Works' or 'Mugen No Kensei' that Iri spoke of was...

'Attention, all the remaining Masters must send a familiar to the Church as soon as possible. I, the overseer of the Fourth Holy Grail War declare a meeting today in five hours' The voice of an old man spoke in his mind, distracting him from his past train of thoughts.

It seems that the overseer declared a meeting, what could he possibly want?

(Scene Break)

By the time his familiar was back, Kiritsugu was already discussing their current situation with Saber.

"So, let me put this straight, Caster and their Master are kidnapping children without caring about the secrecy of magecraft and now all the remaining Masters are in a sort of alliance to kill them?" The Servant said with a frown in his face.

"Pretty much, and we have no other choice aside from going after them because the one who kills Caster is going to get an extra Command Seal, we cannot take the risk of another Master gaining it." Kiritsugu spoke with a frown of his own.

"I don't like it. There are too many unknowns in this, we know little to nothing about the other Servants." Though he knew much more than Kiritsugu. He knew pretty damn well who the Archer of this war was, and he was going to kill him at his first chance. There won't be a talk about mongrels and fakers this time if he could help it.

Arturia never liked to talk about the Fourth Holy Grail War so aside from Gilgamesh he was clueless about the others Servants identities and he didn't like it.

Not at all.

"I agree," The Magus Killer said "but we don't have a choice in the matter. We will start searching for places where Caster may be hiding as soon as possible."

"Understood. Do you need my help with something?" Saber asked.

"Actually, there's one thing you could do..."

(Scene Break)

Right now, Saber was driving with Irisviel to Fuyuki's sewers. It seemed that whatever Irisviel did with the water he took from the river worked, and now they had a clear idea of where Caster could be hiding.

While the only reason why he had a Riding Skill was because he was summoned as a Saber Class Servant (It was E-rank for a reason, after all) Shirou wasn't a stranger to driving a car. Sure, he preferred motorcycles like the one that the Old Man Raiga bought for him but he knew how to use a car.

First, Irisviel wanted to drive herself, but when she remembered that they would have to drive in the streets and not in the highway, she declined and told Saber to do it himself as he had a Riding Skill.

At first Saber was puzzled at her reaction but he later shrugged it off as unimportant stuff.

When they arrived, Saber stopped the car and opened Irisviel's door and offered her his hand inviting her to leave, which she did.

With the moonlight reflecting in his white hair, Saber stopped midway and signaled to Irisviel to stop moving.

"What is it, Saber?" She asked concerned.

"A Servant, most likely they already noticed us. How should I proceed?" He said frowning.

"Let's continue. If they're after Caster too then we could use their help. After all we are in an alliance." Irisviel replied.

"...If you say so."

(Scene Break)

In front of the sewer where they located Caster, Saber saw a tall and muscled man talking with a much smaller child.

'The other Servant and his Master...'

Saber reinforced his ears to hear them properly.

"Rider we can't do that! You saw what Saber can do, we should run now that we have the chance!" The kid cried, obviously scared of facing Saber.

"Nonsense! A King never runs from someone else, much less if they're our allies!" The man, Rider, replied with a grin.

And Saber couldn't blame him for that. After all, the pride of a King was something that he knew pretty well. His precious King Of Knights made sure of that all those years ago.

So, with a little smile that sent shivers down Waver's spine when he saw it, Saber and Irisviel approached them.

"After Caster, I presume?" Saber said with that scary smile of his. Really, being around Rin and certain vampire/troll that much corrupted him a lot. He was doing the 'Tohsaka scary smile number one' without even realizing it.

"Yes, let me present myself. I'm the King of Conquers, Iskandar!" He shouted to everyone to hear him with a grin.

Saber couldn't believe it. Did this guy just revealed his identity? Really? He had to resist the urge to laugh. Even if he could learn who he was just by looking at some weapon of his, this was ridiculous.

Was he that confident in his abilities? Or did he simply not care? No matter how he looked at it he could arrive to just one conclusion.

'This guy is going to be headache. Both for me and his poor Master...Well, being fair I'm probably the one being a headache to the kid if the look on his face is something to go by...'

"Servant Saber, just a nameless hero." He replied in kind.

That caught Irisviel's attention. What did he mean with Just a nameless hero'?

Before he had said that he couldn't remember who he was, could it be that he was lying? Or did he recover some of his memories? And there was also the possibility of his legend being that little that he considered himself 'Nameless', or that he wanted to distance himself from his own name by some reason.

"What do you mean by 'nameless', Saber?" Rider asked. Both his tone of voice and the look on his face changed to one of complete seriousness.

"Excaltly what I said, I have no name...Or at least not one that you will recognize. If it makes you feel better you can call me Shirou." Though he wasn't sure about that. In the Throne Of Heroes was information of every single Heroic Spirit, and as they existed out of the time and space it could be possible for Rider to know who Shirou Emiya was.

Iskandar stared at him for a few moments until he spoke, "Very well, I think I'll still call you Saber anyway. So, you two are after Caster too?"

"Yes, my Master and I," Saber said while pointing at Irisviel who gave him an understanding look and a nod. "were here because we tracked him down to this sewer."

"I see...Do you need a ride then?" Rider said grinning at him. Waver couldn't help but think about how his life was getting crazier and crazier.

(Scene Break)

Back then, Rider summoned a war carriage and the four of them entered the sewer on it.

It was clear that they didn't make a mistake about Caster's hiding place, as some monsters were randomly left in the sewer.

They kept like that until they arrived to an open space, a place that thanks to his reinforced senses Saber could tell that it was awful to say at least.

"Don't look." Iskandar said to his Master who introduced himself as Waver Velvet before. To say that Saber was surprised was an understanding. He already knew that Lord El-Melloi II had been a Master in the Fourth Holy Grail War, thanks to Rin it could be said that they were sort of friends, but he didn't expect him to be like...this.

"W-What do you mean? I'm a magus you know, there's nothing here that can scare me." He said with that irritating tone of his.

"Listen to your Servant, lad. You're not ready to see this." Saber said after putting a reassuring hand in the kid's shoulder.

Irisviel sent him a confused look but didn't say anything. It was clear that she couldn't see what was so awful too.

"Thanks Saber." Rider said to him.

"Don't even think about it. While he's your Master he's still a kid, no one of his age should see something like this." A reassuring smile took form on his lips.

"Hmph, shut up!" Waver moved Saber's hand from his shoulder and casted some kind of illumination spell. Thanks to his ability with reinforcement, Saber never really needed something like that, as he could just reinforce his eyes.

When the light came to existence, Waver and Irisviel were greeted by an horrible picture.

Children...So much of them. Their bodies were completely destroyed, to the point when it was hard to tell that they used to be alive before. Some didn't even have limbs at all, others had their eyes out of their faces, as someone took them.

It was clear that they were tortured to death and in the most painful way possible if the state of their bodies was something to go by.

At such a sight Irisviel's face went even paler than it already was by nature, making hard to tell if she was alive at all. She just stood there unable to move.

Waver's face paled and he dropped to his knees. "W-Who could have done something like this?!" He then looked at Saber's and Rider's faces to confirm that he wasn't crazy and...that was truly there, only to see their impassive looks, like if they were used to see things like these.

"How can you be this calmed?! Doesn't this affect you at all?!" He screamed to the pair of Servants.

"Kid, I would punch whoever wouldn't be affected for this, but there are times when we should control ourselves. Though I can't speak for Saber." Rider said and directed his gaze to the swordsman.

"Me? Oh, of course I'm affected for this. Just seeing this makes my blood boil and makes me want to hunt whoever did this and erase their existence from the world. It's just I've seen situations like this so many times that I hardly show any reaction, that's the kind of life I had." He paused from a moment before some swords formed on his hands, he grabbed them between his fingers, making a total of 8 of them. "Also, there is no time to react to this when we are being spied, right?" He said while throwing three of the newly traced Black Keys at three different points in the shadows.

Three different pained screams and the sound of metal striking flesh were the only response he got.

"Saber! What's-" Irisviel tried to ask but Saber interrupted her.

"Assassin, I don't know how much of them are left. Those were idiots that thought that I couldn't see them so they didn't even bother in hiding their presence, but I'm sure that there are more that I can't see somewhere." He didn't gave them time to process what he said as he continued talking. "Rider, get ready your carriage. I'm going to burn this place to ashes."

Rider didn't like to be ordered but he agreed that Saber's plan was the best course of action, so he didn't argue.

Drawing some runes in the floor, Saber turned the place on flames. He wasn't that good with runes, a master in them like Cu Chulainn or the elders of the Fraga family were far better than him with them, but Rin insisted in him learning something aside from reinforcement and projection all those years ago in the Clock Tower.

So, as he was useless in pretty much everything not related to swords, Rin thought that runes were a good thing for him to learn. They were actually easy to cast, even a third-rate magus like him was able to use them with ease. But the whole point with runes was the quantity of combinations that you can make with them, making them much stronger than they are by their own.

He didn't know that much, but he trained enough to know how to burn a relatively big place without much effort. Obviously, a master in runes would have done it much faster and easily, but he had to work with what he knew.

"Ansuz, Sowilo." Saber muttered. "Okay, it's done! Come on!" He told to a wide-eyed Rider and they started their scape, hopefully their enemies had to astralize themselves to scape from the flames. And he hardly doubted that an Assassin could keep up with Rider's carriage speed, so they were most likely safe.

(Scene Break)

Waver watched bewildered at the scene that was playing. Not only Saber proved to have an strong Noble Phantasm (Or what he thought was his Noble Phantasm) but he also seemed to be a skilled magus.

With such a power, how could he call himself 'Nameless'? It was impossible for someone that strong to not be well-known Heroic Spirits, it just didn't make sense. And there was also the 'Shirou' thing, he had never heard of a hero named Shirou, was it a fake name or a nickname? It was possible.

And being completely honest to himself he really doubted of Rider being able to beat Saber. Unless Rider's Noble Phantasm was something incredible powerful he didn't think that he could win the war.

Also, Saber's Master was an Einzbern, and the possibility of her being an homunculus wasn't completely out of the question...And the Einzbern homunculus were known for having large prana reserves.

Damn it, Saber was just too overpowered!

(Scene Break)

When Saber couldn't sense Rider anymore, he decided to start walking again towards the car.

"That was amazing Saber!" Irisviel broke the silence, and both her expression and her voice tone turned into ones of pure excitement. It was like if she had just ended processing all the events and now remembered to reaction.

"What?" He asked, not being completely sure what was 'amazing'.

"Everything! The swords, the fire, how you found Assassin," She paused while she entered the car as Saber opened the door. "it was amazing!"

"Truly? I don't think it was. I mean there are a lot of people better with runes than me out there." Saber said while he scratched the back of his head.

"Maybe there are, but it was incredible nonetheless. Also, you summoned those swords from nowhere and throw them at Assassin!" She was surprisingly stubborn in telling him that he was amazing for some reason.

"It isn't for much, you had already seen me creating much more swords and those Assassin didn't even try to hide their presence, they were confident in that with their skill alone even if they weren't hiding I wouldn't be able to find them." He said while he started driving. "Furthermore, if they tried to hide themselves finding them is completely out of my league."

"If you say so...But I still think that your awesome!" She paused for a moment before continuing. "Hey, now that I think about it, how is it possible for Assassin to be alive? How are more than one Assassin to begin with?"

"I had been thinking about that and I couldn't come up with much, this is just a fast guess but I think is better than nothing nonetheless." He continued talking. "As you know in theory the only possible Servant for the Asssassin class is Hassan-I-Sabbah, right?" Even if he knew that it was false, as he classified for the Assassin class himself he waited for she to nod an continued. "Well, it's said that there was more than just one Old Man Of The Mountains, so somehow they might have summoned all of them. Though this guess is most likely wrong so don't think to much about what I said."

Irisviel hummed in agreement and they continued their travel to the Einzbern forest, where Kiritsugu had stayed trying to find something about the enemy Masters while they were out.

(Scene Break)

"REVENGE RYUUNOSUKE! WE WILL HAVE OUR REVENGE!" The madman summoned as Caster screamed as he saw his burned hide place.

"Hai hai!" His Master, Ryuunosuke Uryuu agreed.

"WITH THIS, RYUUNOSUKE," He said while picking a part of burned cloth, a part of Irisviel Von Einzbern's clothes to be accurate. "WE'LL FIND THEM AND MAKE THEM PAY!"

"You're so COOL!"

XXXXXXXXX

AN: Hi there, here I am still alive...I guess.

Well, first thing I want to say is: Sorry for taking so much time. I already explained why in my profile but I'm saying it anyway.

My phone died, and I had everything stored there. This chapter was supposed to be released past week and be of the double of it's length or even more, but I didn't want to leave you without an update for so long so I updated it at this length anyway.

Right now I'm using Google docs to save my progress so it won't happen again, sorry for keeping you waiting for so long.

Now I'm going to answer some things you've been telling me by PM and the reviews.

First, someone said that Shirou in UBW wasn't supposed to know that much about Illya's personality. Well you're right, I messed up a little with the Fate route there, sorry for that.

Second a lot of people are telling me that Shirou is too OP, well you're right, he is OP but he's also this OP in canon under the right circumstances.

If I remember right in Fate/Zero Irisviel was the one giving prana to Saber, even if Kiritsugu was the Master. So, as Iri and Illya are fucking prana batteries with legs and Shirou's major weakness are his average prana reserves, I thought that with enough prana Shirou is pretty much completely OP. That's the reason why CG EMIYA is the strongest Shirou, after all.

I always thought that with Illya as his Master Archer would have been unstoppable, after all he could just spam powerful NP in the air and everyone dies, well the same applies for Iri and Shirou.

Though that doesn't mean that all of his fights will be one-sided, so don't worry. ~Lancelot will be a hell to deal with hehe~

Well guys, I leave it here.

See ya.
