In the Throne Room of the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, Night 1

"Saber of Blue has moved toward the port, she'll soon meet Lancer of Blue." Semiramis said, looking at a mirror which is showing both Saber and Lancer of Blue.

"Great, let's observe for now."

"But Master! We should just attack the pair and take them out with numbers!" Oda Nobunaga shouted, clearly excited about the upcoming fight.

"Please be patient, we'll have the opportunity soon." Titus smiled awkwardly.

"That girl, she looks awfully like me. Don't you agree, Rider?"

"Huh...?"

"Umu, she sure has good taste!"


Saber of Blue, a young girl with blonde hair and green eyes moved towards the port of Fuyuki along with a silver-haired homunculus.

"We'll soon arrive at where the prana pulse was felt, Saber!" Irisviel said.

At this moment, a figure hidden in the shadows slowly walks toward them.

"Saber of Blue huh? You are the first Servant I have met." Lancer of Blue was standing between large amount of shipping containers.

"And you must be Lancer of Blue. Are you trying to lure out the enemies without waiting for other Servants?"

"Yes, I wish for a honorable duel wi-"

At this moment, A flying object drew a straight line across the sky and was heading directly to their location, shedding violet sparks of lightning on its way.

"A chariot...?" Irisviel exclaimed.

The chariot, pulled by two bulls landed between the two Servants. A gigantic man with red hair stood upon it.

"MY NAME IS ISKANDAR, THE KING OF CONQUERORS! Summoned as the Rider of Blue!" Iskandar shouted, grinning.

"What are you doing?! You stupid moron!" A young boy who is also on the chariot chastised. "I told you to wait!"

"Hahaha. Isn't it fine, Master. We'll have to meet up with the other Servants anyway." Iskandar laughed, hitting his Master's back.

Cough cough "It's not fine!" The young boy replied, coughing.

Iskandar ignores him and looked around the port, he seems to be checking for the signs for other Servants. After a while, he pulled out his gladius, raised it to the sky and declared. "Oh heroes gathered for this Holy Grail War! Why don't you show yourself, hiding is an act of cowardice!"

"What are you doing?!" Rider's Master seemed to be extremely agitated at this point, Saber and Lancer seemed to be shocked too.

"That fool managed to conquer the world?" Kiritsugu, who is hiding on a crane distant away said to no one. He soon return to observing the port through the scope of his sniper rifle.

After a gleam of golden light, a blonde man with golden armor appears atop a street pole.

"What did you say, mongrel." The golden man said with extreme arrogance. "You dare to call yourself a king for when I am the only real king in this Heaven and Earth?"

"The only king?" Iskandar replied, scratching his cheek. "I do not know who you are but I was definitely a king."

"Then listen well to my name. I am the King of Heroes, Gilgamesh. Everything in this world belong to me!" Gilgamesh proclaimed proudly.

...

"Haha, hahahaha"

In an alley, a man wearing blue hoodie with black cargo pants sat there. He seems to be half-dead, worms move beneath his skin occasionally.

"Tohsaka Tokiomi..."

With hatred burning in his eyes, Matou Kariya ordered.

"Kill him... Kill that Archer!"

...

A this moment, a black knight materializes and stares at Gilgamesh.

"Who allowed you to stare at me, mongrel." Gilgamesh seemed extremely offended.

The black knight roared and rush toward Gilgamesh. Two golden portals appear holding a sword and a spear, aimed and fired at the black knight. The knight caught the sword and used it to deflect the spear.

"That's the Berserker of Blue, why is he attacking Archer?!" The young boy, Waver Velvet exclaimed.

"You dare touch my treasures?!" Ten more golden portals holding various type of weapons appeared and shot toward Berserker, but Berserker managed to hold his ground, deflecting all the weapons and threw the last at the street pole Gilgamesh is standing.

"A lowly mongrel dare to rebel against the king?!" Fifty golden portals with weapons came into existence, prepared to fire at Berserker.

"Are those... Noble Phanta-" Irisviel was shocked, but before she can finish speaking...

Suddenly, The World Burned.


"It's time. Saber, Archer, Lancer, Rider, Caster follow me. Our main target is the Archer of Blue, Gilgamesh. We will focus on him, as for other Servants of Blue, Lancer is an easy target and Rider will be weakened by Archer's reality marble." The Master of White Faction decided to move, he turned to look at the young girl at his side. "Archer, use your reality marble and your Noble Phantasm immediately upon contact with the Servants of Blue. I want you to take out Gilgamesh no matter the cost, even if you have to use your Noble Phantasm multiple times."

"Alright, I'll kill that demigod! He won't stand a chance before the Demon King of the Sixth Heaven!" Oda Nobunaga declared.

"Finally! The World shall behold my beauty once again! Praetor, who shall I take on?" Nero Claudius asked excitedly.

"I'll leave Saber of Blue to you. Her identity is the Arthur Pendragon, becareful." The Titus adviced with a stern gaze.

"The King of Knights? Praetor, are you sure? I didn't know the King of Britain is a young girl!" Nero questioned, clearly doubting him by the look of her face.

"Her true name is Artoria Pendragon, she hid her gender due to gender inequality at the time she lived. You are also a young girl when you're supposed to be a man, history isn't always correct. Focus on the task at hand."

"What about us, Master?" Tamamo no Mae asked, inching closer.

"Lancer will take down Lancer of Blue. He is Diarmuid Ua Duibhne, first warrior of the knights of Fianna. He possesses two spears, a red spear which can sever all ties with magical energy and a yellow spear which can inflicts wounds that cannot be healed naturally or with Magecraft."

"Gáe Dearg and Gáe Buidhe?, interesting spears he has. Though he won't be a problem, I can dispatch him easily, Master." Scáthach nodded, she seemed to be the one with the most battle experience among the Servants of White.

"A spearman! I'll see how strong he is compare to Cú Chulainn." Medb said, thrilled at the idea of meeting another capable warrior.

"Just don't make a mess..." Scáthach turned to the woman who caused her disciple's downfall.

"Of course, do you think I'm a lose woman?" Medb flinched at the dead stares the other Servants gave her.

"You two can talk it out next time. Caster and Rider, you two will be on backup. Assassin will be on lookout and Berserker, well, she will be cooking dinner." The man moves toward the exit with a strange expression on his face.

"Why did you summon her anyway...?" Tamamo asked.


"Papiyas!" With the voice of a young girl, the land turned into a scorching hell.

"W-What?!" Masters and Servants of the Blue Faction exclaimed, followed by the same young girl's voice.

"Show your corpse to the Three Thousand Worlds... Demon Descent! Behold, the Demon King's Three Line Formation!" Three thousand musket materializes and shot toward Gilgamesh, the laser beams moving at incredible speed and seemed impossible to dodge.

"My power. What did you do, mongrel?!" Gilgamesh exclaimed, but he was already too late.

Three thousand red beams hits Gilgamesh and incinerated him immediately, taking out the King of Heroes from the war.

...

Crash

"Archer perished!" Tohsaka Tokiomi stood up from his chair, shocked. His wine glass fell to the floor of the office room, staining it red.

"The White Faction, they ambushed us." Kotomine Kirei stood up as well.

"Archer is Gilgamesh, the King of Heroes! Even if he is ambushed, how can he possibly fall that easily?!" Tokiomi shouted hysterically, all his plans were ruined the moment the Holy Grail War turned into a team battle. And now his Servant, the oldest and strongest king, fell on the first night.

...

"Hahaha!" After the fire die down, the people on site was able to see the aftermath. Archer of Blue is gone, and there is a young girl in military uniform standing atop the shipping containers, laughing. "Take that you useless god!"

Clang!

Diarmuid suddenly deflects an attack from behind, a purple-haired woman wielding twin red spears stood there.

"Diarmuid Ua Duibhne, your life is mine." The woman rushes at him, swinging her spears.

"Why do you know my true name?" Diarmuid deflected her attacks. "And do you have no honor?! Sneak attacking like a coward!"

"There is no honor in war, prepare yourself." She gave him a quick thrust.

...

Clang!

At the same time Scáthach attack Diarmuid. Artoria Pendragon blocks a slash heading towards her neck, a young girl with similar features stood before her. She is dressed in red and wield a scarlet long sword.

"Umu. You aren't bad, Saber of Blue! As expected of the King of Knights." Nero said, charging at Artoria with her sword.

"You know my identity?!" Artoria blocks her attacks, shocked.

"Praetor told me!" Nero continue swinging her sword at Artoria, producing sparks everywhere.

"Praetor?"

"He's my Master!" Nero slashes at Artoria once again.

...

"Boy, we need to get out of here." Iskandar said to Waver with a grim face.

"We need to help the other servants, Rider!" Waver exclaimed, looking back at him with a confused face. "They are our allies!"

"I can't, Boy. The flames back then weakened me greatly. I'm not in the condition for combat. Although I do feel sorry for Saber and Lancer, but we need to leave, now." Iskandar said solemnly.

"But-" Waver was cut off, he was picked up by Iskandar. "W-Wait!"

"No buts, boy!" Iskandar starts retreating. "My Divine Bulls were burned directly, we won't be able to run if we wait any longer!"

...

"Kiritsugu, what do we do?" Hisau Maiya, the woman dressed in black asked through a radio. She was proned on a warehouse looking over the battlefield.

"We retreat. Tell Iri to leave with Saber, now!" Kiritsugu, already climbed down the crane replied. 'Were they observing us this whole time? We need to get out of here right now if they already know our positions.' He thought.

...

"Hahaha!" Matou Kariya laughed hysterically, blood leaking from his face. "Take that, Tokiomi! Your Servant is dead!"

Berserker stood behind him, long since retreated by his order.

"Though I'm not the one to kill your Servant, this is the first step of my revenge!" He had a cruel smile on.

...

At the port, two young girls with similar features were engaged in combat.

"Saber! Kiritsugu told me that we need to leave!" Irisviel yelled at Artoria while looking at the battle between two legends.

"But Irisviel! Lancer is in danger!" Saber blocks an attack towards her side and gave a vertical slash towards the red Saber.

Clang!

"Are you running?" Nero teases, parrying Artoria's offense.

"Rider has already left and Lancer is losing badly! Saber, please!" Irisviel shouted, looking at the retreating figure of Iskandar. "The situation is extremely bad, we don't have the ability to help Lancer!" She pleaded.

"You know, you're not our primary target. This emperor wouldn't care if you run now." Nero teases once more.

"...Fine." Saber seemed to finally give in after a long contemplation. "But know this, I will not abandon my allies again, this is on a knight's honor and pride. I will retreat this time to escort you to safety." Saber said grimly, leading Irisviel away from the battlefield.

...

On a warehouse roof, a blonde-haired man stood in the shadows.

"Dammit! The Masters of White Faction, do they have no pride?!" Kayneth El-Melloi Archibald exclaimed, frustrated at the situation. 'The other Masters and Servants of Blue are retreating and Lancer is losing. He'll be surrounded by multiple enemy Servants at this rate.' He looks at the red tattoo on his hand. 'It can't be helped...' With a conflicted expression, he chanted. "With my Command Seal, I ord-" But it was too late for him.

Shick.

Kayneth's body collapse onto the warehouse roof. Titus stood behind him, holding a bloodied sabre.

'Lancer, I just took down Diarmuid's Master.' He said with no emotions through telepathy. 'I killed the observing Assassin too, use your Noble Phantasm and kill Diarmuid. In case he decides to retreat and contract another Master, even if the chances are low.'

...

'Very well, Master'

"My Lord?!" Diarmuid cried out. "You ac-"

Diarmuid didn't finish his sentence since he felt great amount of prana gather at Scáthach spears.

"Using your Noble Phantasm at this time, you truly want to be certain of my death." Diarmuid said, looking at the two glowing spears.

"Do not blame me, this is a war. My master is simply cautious." She readied the spears with a cold expression. "Remember my name, Scáthach, the person who will grant you death."

"Queen of the Land of Shadows?! How is it possible for someone like you to be summoned?!" Diarmuid said, shocked. Knowing that the Queen of the Land of Shadows isn't supposed to be dead yet.

The two demonic spears shine in crimson.

"So I had no chance of victory from the start...?" Diarmuid sighed at the idea of facing a supposedly Divine Spirit and God Slayer. "But it doesn't mean I won't fight till the end, Witch of Dun Scaith!" He ran towards the purple-haired spearwoman, readying for the final showdown. "Gae Dearg! Gae Buidhe!"

"Your bravery is admirable" Scáthach looked at him with respect. "If we've met in life, I might've taken you as a disciple." The crimson spears were flowing with massive prana at this point. "Farewell, Diarmuid Ua Duibhne"

"Stab and penetrate... Thrust and drill, Gáe Bolg Alternative!" She lunged the first spear, pinning Diarmuid in the air, then she threw the second spear striking through him.

Shick.

"I am sorry for failing you, My Lord..." Diarmuid disappear in particles of light, announcing the end of the first night of the Fourth Holy Grail War.


Author's Note: I've decided to just start writing more freely instead of following the lore of Nasuverse. After all, I'm writing this fanfiction for fun. Chapter length will be atleast 1.5k~2k words in the future.

This story will stop following the original Fate/Zero from now on, but I'll include some of the memorable scenes.

Also surprise surprise, you didn't expect this right? right?
