In a ruined church, a white-haired young man was standing in front of a group of little girls. The girls have an average age of ten and they all seemed to be excited upon seeing the man.

"Sensei! Sensei! What are we learning today?" A girl with long lilac-colored hair asked, she was holding a doll in the shape of a white bear.

The man pulled out a large wooden board filled with words and numbers on it.

"I'll teach you how to read this morning, and about numbers in the afternoon." The man smiled kindly.

"Ehhh, again? But that's boring! Why don't you tell us stories. Please?" A twin-tailed girl with red hair and eyes said in an outburst.

"Enju-chan is right, tell us more stories sensei!" Another little girl with long black hair agreed.

"Alright. Alright. It can't be help." The man smile wryly. "I'll tell you a story. But. You'll have to pay extra attention in the afternoon, got it?"

"Yay! Sensei is the best!" The girls cheered.

...

Huff huff huff

The white-haired man ran with incredible speed. With heavy footsteps, he ran through a forest and reached the front of a large tree.

"Why?" The man said with a blank face.

On the large tree, little girls with age no more than twelve were hung there. The girls have lifeless eyes and weren't breathing, they were dea-

"Why?! What did they ever do to you?!" The man screamed, tears streaming down his face and unequaled sadness in his eyes. "They were born as human just like you! They never bothered you and lived peacefully! How can you do this just for a false belief, made up by some lunatic!"

Inside a luxurious bedroom within the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, Day 2

"Haa haa..." Tamamo woked up while breathing heavily. 'What was that? that dream?'

Knock knock

"Caster, are you up?" The voice of Nobunaga could be heard from behind the door.

"I-I am. What do you need, Archer?"

"Master asked for you, hurry up and come to the throne room! Everyone else is already there."

"I'll be there in a few minutes!" Caster got up. 'Why was Master in my dream? And that dream... huh?'

She felt wetness upon touching her cheeks. 'Are these tears?'

...

Tamamo walked through a corridor and reached the throne room. Opening the door, she can see Semiramis sitting high up on the throne in a conversation with Scáthach. Other Servants were either standing or sitting in various places. Nobunaga was chatting with Nero and Medb, and Titus was talking to Kiyohime... wait what? 'That whore!'

"Ah Caster, you're finally here." Titus turned around and walked toward her, Kiyohime followed behind him. "I called everyone here to introduce two additional allies."

The other Servants quieten downed and looked at Titus with curious faces.

"Allies? What do you mean by that, Praetor?" Nero asked, getting more curious by the second.

"Let me explain." Titus pulled up the sleeve of his right arm further than he has shown to the Servants.

"?!" The Servants were shocked. Afterall, instead of seven set of Command Seals, there are now nine sets present on his right arm.

"...are those?" Semiramis asked.

"Yes, I apologize for not showing you yesterday. Our Faction has nine Servants while the Blue Faction possesses six in this war, so let me introdu-"

"As expected of darling!" Kiyohime chimed in, face showing unequalled obsession.

'This wench!' Tamamo thought once again.

"Ahem. Thank you, Berserker." Titus smiled wryly. "So let me introduce once again, Ruler and Caster of B-"

With a flash of light, two young girls teleported into the room. The first is wore provocative priestly clothing and the second wore white Greek clothing.

"I am Caster of Blue! It's nice to meet you." Caster of Blue is a ethereal young girl with long pink hair and elven ears dressed in Greek clothing. She also possesses a pair of wings.

"I am the Ruler-class Servant of this Holy Grail War, pleased to meet you." Ruler was a beautiful woman white long purple-black hair and blue eyes. Despite having the appearance of a perfect holy woman, her clothing is unusually seductive.

Cough cough "It would be nice of you if you don't interrupt me when I'm talking" Titus said dryly. "So as I was saying, this is Caster of Blue. The last Master of Blue Faction was a serial killer and I ended him before he can summon a Servant, taking his Command Seals in the process. She has been tracking the other Servants of Blue and building a base at the Ryuudou Temple to monitor the Greater Grail."

"That's right, that thing sure is disgusting. It needs to be cleansed or destroyed as soon as possible!" Caster confirmed.

"I concur. I can feel the evilness from it the moment I was summoned, we'll have to purify it at haste. I am glad that someone like Titus was chosen as a Master." Ruler agreed, showing a determined face.

"Master, I've always meant to ask this but never got a chance." Scáthach suddenly speaks up.

"Yes? I'll answer any of your questions so please go ahead."

"You seemed to know a bit too much of this war? With Ruler on our side, it can be explain by how you know the Blue Faction Servants' true identities. But how did you receive seven sets of Command Seals in the first place? There is also the fact that Ruler is your Servant too." Scáthach asked while the other Servants of White looked at Titus questioningly.

"I am also curious, Titus. I know you are a insightful and calculating man, but you seemed to possess a great deal of information. Information that are supposed to be very secretive and personal." Semiramis interjected.

"It can't be helped." Titus sighed, surrendering. "I was hoping to tell you after the Holy Grail War has ended. You see, I am actually something like a Servant."

"Something like a Servant?" Medb asked.

"Yes. To be more exact, I am like a mix of a Heroic Spirit and a Counter Guardian. Manifested into a Servant Container just like all of you, with a goal for this war. Which is, to purify the Greater Grail of Angra Mainyu." Titus continued, summoning a sabre into his hand. "As a being similar to both a Heroic Spirit and Counter Guardian, I possess both a spiritual and material body. I also have Skills and Noble Phantasms just like all other Servants. But unlike normal Servants who are summoned into a class container, I am manifested into this world so I do not require any prana supply to exist." Titus finished, dispelling the sabre.

"I do not understand, Master. If you're not a Heroic Spirit or a Counter Guardian, what are you then? A Divine Spirit?" Tamamo questioned.

"I am not a Divine Spirit either. I am... special, an existence that didn't qualified as a Heroic Spirit nor did I sign a contract with Alaya to become a Counter Guardian. However, I did sign another type a contract. One where I am to protect this world from harm, while retaining the freedom of thoughts and actions. I desire to protect both humanity and this world of ours." Titus said with resolution in his eyes.

"Titus... isn't your true name, is it? I thought that you were a fellow Roman Emperor." Nero said, realizing the truth.

"Yes, it is a fake name. I have long lost my name already." Titus answered with tiny hints of sadness in his eyes that soon disappear. "With the influence of the counter force, This Holy Grail War turned into a battle between two factions rather than the standard process of which seven servants duke it out. The summoning ritual of Ruler was also altered, making her join us in this important mission."

"That is true. I answered the summoned on my own will to assist Titus in cleansing Angra Mainyu from the Greater Grail." Ruler affirmed with a saintly smile, turning around to face the other eight. "My fellow Heroic Spirits, I implore you to aid in this task of defeating All the World's Evils. Will you help me?" She requested sincerely.

"You do not have to worry, we all agreed to help Master in purging that fake god yesterday! Right, everyone?" Tamamo said and turned around looking at the other Servants.

"Right." "I won't let that false deity do any wrong." "Uh huh!" "Anything darling says!" "Yup!" "Of course!" Other Servants reaffirmed their promise one after another.

"Thank you everyone, I really do appreciate it." Titus said with a genuine smile. "I'll finish the introduction of our new allies and we can start planning for tonight's actions. This is Circe, daughter of the Sun God Helios, summoned as the Caster of Blue. And this is Saint Martha, the Dragon Riding Saint, summoned as the Ruler of this Holy Grail War. With the strength of nine Servants while the enemy only have four, this war is as good as secured." Titus continued with confidence. "I will impersonate as Ruler of this war and meet up with the Masters of Blue today. Circe and Saint Martha will return to Ryuudou Temple and continue the monitoring of the Greater Grail. Tonight, we will secure the Lesser Grail from the Einzbern homunculus. We'll discuss the details later. For now, why don't you familiarize with each other? I will head to the Fuyuki Church and request the Masters of Blue for a meeting, I doubt they will decline a meeting with the Servant that is supposed to supervise the war."

The Nine Servants gave their approvals and Titus left the throne room.
