I do not own Fate/Stay Night or any of the series' mentioned here.
Shirou stared at the petite woman in front of him in shock. He had no idea what had just happened. After that Servant was getting ready to kill him, he only wished to live. And somehow because of that this Servant, the Saber class of all things, had pushed back his would-be (Or is it one-time) murderer, and asked if he was his Master. Shirou looked at his right hand to see if he had gotten the Command Seals there like Kiritsugu, only to find nothing. He then gulped in nervousness before glancing at his left hand to see three separate blood red markings that made the distinct shape of a sword. "I-I guess I really am her Master…" Shirou thought to himself as he looked back at Saber.
Saber did not know what to think about the boy in front of her. He was obviously shocked about her appearance, which meant that this was an uncommon summoning. She could not feel much Prana flowing to her from the boy, however there was a slight strand of it connecting to her. "This will make things difficult…" Saber thought to herself before seeing the Command Seals on his left hand rather than his right like… that man. "Your Command Seals show the contract between us. As such, I shall be your sword and bring us victory Master." She said formally before glancing behind her. The enemy Servant that she had pushed away was getting back up. "We shall discuss this more once I deal with the enemy."
"W-wait!" Shirou cried out before Saber launched out of the shed, not even hearing him as she brought down her invisible blade on Avenger, who parried it away with Konshou.
"Damn!" Avenger shouted as he jumped back and had Bakuya appear in his left hand once more. He then launched himself forward and brought down the two swords onto Saber's, sparks flying in between them. However, it was obvious that Saber was going to win this test of strength. The ground beneath Avenger's feet was buckling, and beads of sweat were forming on Avenger's brow. Saber then pushed Avenger back, making him skid onto the ground. "Still as strong as you were back then Saber…" Avenger thought as he glared at Saber, who looked back at him coldly. "Heh, and still as adorable as ever…"
"State your class Servant." Saber demanded as she narrowed her eyes at Avenger. "Despite the rules of this war, I would wish to know the class of my opponent."
"..." Avenger stayed silent for a moment in thought. "Should I tell them? Oh what the Hell. It will probably throw them into a loop." "I'm Avenger."
"Avenger?" Saber repeated, the strange class name rolling off of her tongue as she tried to recall any knowledge of such a class. "That is not any class I am familiar with, nor is it supposed to be in this war!"
"Heh, can't tell you why I'm Avenger, I just am." Avenger said before throwing both Konshou and Bakuya into the air. As the blades sliced through the night sky, two more appeared in his hands as he charged towards Saber once more. He brought down Bakuya onto her invisible blade, which she blocked without trouble. However, Avenger twisted his body and swung Kaonshou towards her head. Saber barely managed to duck her head before the blade sliced off part of her ahoge. Avenger then jumped back as the Bakuya and Konshou he threw earlier began to fly towards Saber.
"What? A trap?" Saber thought to herself as her eyes widened in shock. The blades drew closer and closer, shaking Saber out of her thoughts as she readied herself to parry away the blades. However, a white blur appeared in front of Saber and knocked away the blades. As they stabbed into the ground, Saber got a good look at the one who did it. It was a young girl in her teenage years with dull blue hair wearing a form fitting white suit while wielding a red spear. So similar to… "Lancer?"
"That is indeed my class Servant Saber." Lancer replied in a monotone voice as she turned to her. Saber tensed at the girl's empty expression and blood red eyes as Lancer looked over her shoulder and prepared for battle. "My Master has given me orders to protect that boy…" She motioned to Shirou at this, whose eyes widened in response. One of the girls asked their own Servant to protect him? It was probably Luvia who sent her then… "…from the enemy Servant. As you are his Servant, I shall assist you until I receive orders from Master telling me otherwise."
"Hm…" Saber muttered to herself as she let a small smile form on her face. Although the Servant was a bit disturbing with how she allowed no emotion to show on her face or eyes, her devotion to her Master was remarkable. "Very well Lancer, I thank you for your assistance." She then turned around to Avenger, who tensed at this recent development. "Now then Avenger, prepare yourself."
Avenger glared at the two Servants in front of him. Saber he could handle on his own, although it would take some time. However Lancer was now assisting her, and he had no idea what Noble Phantasms the 'fake' Heroic Spirit has. "Well, I know she has at least one more than that lance. But I don't want the world to end anytime soon…" Avenger thought to himself before making his swords disappear from his hands, confusing Saber and only making Lancer blink in what was probably surprise. "Besides, Bazette will probably figure out I'm gone again soon and Command Seal my ass back to her." "Sorry, but we'll have to finish this up some other time." Avenger then disappeared from view, making Saber scowl in anger while Lancer simply relaxed her stance.
"He fled rather than face us with the honor of a Heroic Spirit. The coward…" Saber muttered to herself before glancing back at Shirou, who was still looking at her with shock. "Are you well Master?"
"I-I'm fine…" Shirou muttered as he touched the gash on his left arm. He winced in pain before telling Saber, "I'll heal this soon…"
"Shirou!" A new voice called out, drawing their attention to the now open back door to see Luvia. She stared at him and Saber in shock before muttering, "You're a Master…?"
*Click* The clocking of a gun and the feeling of something pressing to the back of her head froze Luvia in place. "D-don't move…" Gasped out Maiya as she weakly pressed the Glock to Luvia's head with her right hand while clutching her chest with the left. "I-If you so much as…" Maiya then cried out in pain before dropping to her knees, releasing the gun from her grip and clutching her chest with both her hands.
"MAIYA-SAN!" Shirou yelled before running past a shocked looking Saber, a stoic Lancer, and a justifiably frightened Luvia to the downed Maiya.
"Maiya?" Saber muttered with wide eyes as she stared at the, now older, assistant of Kiritsugu.
Who the Hell was the boy that just summoned her?
Later:
"Should have… known using Time Alter would… do something like this…" Maiya muttered as she laid in her futon, a glowing healing array under her with Shirou kneeling by her side. "Kiritsugu warned me that… the use of his Code… would cause stress on my body…"
"Why would he give you something like this Maiya-san?" Shirou questioned as he looked at the woman with a worried expression on his face. He had brought Maiya to her room after confirming that Luvia was not there to attack him. She kept wincing in pain, gasping for air, and he felt her heartbeat. It was like the thing was going a mile a minute! He had drawn the array on the floor before setting Maiya down and healing his own arm.
It was a miracle that she had not gotten a heart attack.
"T-to protect you Shirou…" Maiya muttered as she looked at the boy. "Kiritsugu made… many enemies… He wanted me to protect you when he was go-." Maiya then grimaced in pain, worrying Shirou even more. "D-don't worry for me Shirou. I'll just need some time to… rest and recover… I'll be fine tomorrow morning…"
"Maiya-san…" He muttered before someone knocked on the door. It then slid opened to reveal Luvia with a sullen expression on her face. "Luvia?"
"Shirou…" Luvia muttered as she looked at the object of her affections, and now fellow Master, before looking at Maiya. "Will she be…"
"I will live Edelfelt…" Maiya muttered while looking at the girl with a small glare. "Why are you here?"
Luvia looked away before stuttering out, "I-I have repaired the damages that Servant caused to your home. I would have waited for Shirou to do so, but I wanted to help him since he is assisting you with your recovery. Lancer and Saber are waiting outside."
"Thanks Luvia." Shirou muttered out as he turned his attention back to Maiya.
"S-Shirou…" Shirou looked back at Maiya, who had her head drooped down which blocked her eyes from view. "I-I'm sorry… I've gotten you involved in this…" A tear from Luvia's eyes fell onto the floor, shocking Shirou. "I-If I hadn't challenged Tohsaka, then you would not have seen us. You wouldn't have become a target for that Servant, a-and you wouldn't have to have…"
"H-hey! Don't cry!" Shirou shouted, making Luvia look at the boy with shock. "It's not your fault Luvia! I should have finished work earlier that that, but what's done is done. Anyway, if it wasn't for you I probably wouldn't be here right now!"
"Shirou…" Luvia muttered, joy filling her eyes as she looked at him. She should mention that it was Tohsaka that saved him, but such details were unnecessary. "He's so kind…" "Shirou, I want to make a proposition…"
"What is it Edelfelt?" Maiya asked, making Luvia shift her feet a bit. Even if the woman was bedridden for the time being, she got an impending sense of danger from her.
"Come on, say it! This is probably your only chance to truly get to know him!" Luvia thought to herself before taking a deep breath and saying, "It would be counterproductive to be enemies since we live so close to one another, and I have no desire to fight you. So I wish to propose an alliance."
"An alliance?" Shirou repeated with shock. But he could understand her reasoning as to wanting to form such an alliance. Besides, he did not want to fight her either.
"Yes. We will share information about the other Masters of the Holy Grail War, and send our Servants to provide assistance to one another should they need it." Luvia repeated, making Shirou nod in agreement. Sounded reasonable.
"Okay." He replied, making Luvia mentally give out a little girly squeal of delight. "I'm glad we can be allies in this Luvia!" He gave Luvia a friendly smile, making Luvia's cheeks redden. "Huh? You okay?"
"Y-Yes I am…" Luvia whispered before beginning to walk out of the room with shaky legs. "I-I'll see you tomorrow at school…" "YES! Soon Shirou, we shall be closer than ever before! Take THAT Matou!"
Meanwhile in the Matou Manor, Sakura sneezed in her sleep before returning back to dreamland where Shirou was bathing her in chocolate.
Luvia then walked out of the room to see Saber and Lancer staring each other down. Beads of sweat were forming on Saber's brow while Lancer looked relatively fine. "Lancer, let us go."
"Yes Master." Lancer muttered before dissipating from view. Luvia smiled at Saber before saying, "Now Saber, me and your Master have agreed to form an alliance that shall be beneficial for the both of us. I shall return tomorrow so that we may discuss our course of action for this war."
Saber narrowed her eyes at the Master of Lancer with suspicion. While the alliance would be beneficial for her Master, especially with the mysterious Servant Avenger out for his blood, the girl was still a Master. She could be hoping to manipulate her Master, but if that were the case then Saber would defend him with her life. "Very well. I trust my Master's judgment." Saber then left the hallway and entered the room, making Luvia smile.
"I suppose I should thank that tramp Tohsaka later for allowing me to check on Shirou in her steed. Without her, I would have never gotten a chance to be so close to Shirou! Ohohoho!" Luvia mentally laughed as she left the Emiya residence to her own home.
In the Tohsaka Manor, Rin sneezed before turning around and looking out her window. She couldn't sleep. And it was NOT because she was worried about that red haired idiot!
"Ah, Saber!" Shirou shouted in surprise as Saber entered the room. "What are you…?"
"Where is Kiritsugu Maiya?" Saber growled out in a low, dangerous tone to the downed woman.
"…dead. He's been dead for five years." Maiya replied, making Shirou look back and forth at them in shock.
"Wait, you're the Servant Kiritsugu summoned?" Shirou questioned before looking at Maiya with confusion written on his face. "Why didn't you tell me?"
"I'll tell you tomorrow…." Maiya spoke before closing her eyes. "For now, go to sleep Shirou. Unless you have forgotten, tonight is a school night. And I shall not tolerate you being late or skipping on your education."
"Crap…" Shirou muttered while drooping his own head. "Is there anything you want?"
"No. Now go rest." Maiya replied, making Shirou stand up and begin heading out the door. As he walked to his room, he looked down at his left hand that still held all three of the Command Seals while thinking, "Maiya-san got hurt because of me. Because I was so damn careless and did not think that the Servant would actually stick around to make sure I was dead." He then opened the door to his room and began to shed his now bloody and torn school uniform, throwing the articles of clothing into the hamper for later repair. "Now, I've put her in even greater danger because I'm now a participant. How can I be a protector of justice if I just keep putting people in danger?" Shirou then plopped into his own bed before closing his eyes. "I just hope Luvia can help me ou-." Shirou's thought process stopped as the bed shifted a bit, making him open his eyes to see Saber's looking into his. "W-what are you doing!?" Shirou shouted in surprise as he moved himself against the wall, staring at Saber with shock.
"As a Servant, I must always be at your side to defend you at a moment's notice Master." Saber replied calmly while lifting herself into a sitting position and looking at Shirou. "The summoning was uncommon, and I cannot turn to my astral form as I should. Thus, this is the most efficient method of defending you while you sleep."
"B-but you're a girl! It's improper for a man and a woman to be on the same bed!" Shirou protested while pointing at Saber.
"I am your sword Master, nothing more." Saber replied automatically while staring at Shirou, her eyes narrowing a bit.
Shirou gulped as that look entered Saber's eyes. It was that same look that Maiya had whenever she was finalizing an argument, or forcing the sweet store to give her the last piece of cake despite the customer before her ordering it. She would not change her stance on the argument. And bad things would happen to whoever protested against her. "O-okay…" Shirou said with a sigh as he looked at Saber. "But stop calling me Master. It's kinda weird. Just call me Shirou, okay?"
"…" Saber stared at the boy in silence before a small smile formed on her lips. It seems like her current Master would be much more enjoyable than Kiritsugu. "Very well Shirou."
Shirou then scooted over to the edge of his bed and turned to the side, making his back face Saber while she laid on his bed and closed her eyes.
"Crap. How can I go to sleep in this kind of situation?" Shirou asked himself as he looked at the wall in front of his face with a nervous expression on it.
Poor bastard didn't even know his own luck.
Elsewhere (Bazette's Apartment):
Bazette paced back and forth in her apartment deep in thought while Avenger just sat in his chair sipping tea. The Servant had arrived moments before she could so much as think of using a second Command Seal to force him back to her side. "This is going to be a problem…" Bazette thought to herself with a scowl forming on her face. "Avenger has been going off to do his own thing twice now without even coming to me for approval of his actions. How can I control a Servant who will just trust his own judgment and not even listen to his Master's?" Bazette glanced at her left hand, which now held only two Command Seals. "I could use a Command Seal to restrict his movements, but it might hurt me in the long run. I have to be smart with how I use them from now on…"
"Thinking about something Master?" Avenger asked while sipping his tea, making Bazette turn to her Servant with her brows furrowed with anger.
"Why didn't you seek my approval with your course of action with the civilian Avenger?" Bazette asked, only for Avenger to shrug his shoulders.
"I thought it wouldn't have mattered. After all, it is your duty as a Master to keep the Holy Grail War secret from the general public by any means necessary."
"I was just going to implant false memories in him so that he would forget what he saw, nothing more. There was no reason for you to kill him." Bazette told Avenger, who just shook his head.
"Couldn't kill him. Those two from earlier healed him, so I went after him to finish the job. Now he's the Master of Saber." Avenger then looked Bazette in the eyes before continuing. "I also know his identity. It is Emiya Shirou."
"Emiya Shirou…" Bazette muttered before her eyes widened in recognition. "Y-you mean he's a relative of the Magus Killer?" This could be troublesome. If this Emiya was anything like Emiya Kiritsugu, then the war now had a truly dangerous player. "And I shall have someone who can actually pose a threat to me. The Tohsaka head and the Edelfelt heir are jokes, and the Matou heir still hasn't shown their face yet. Although I will probably still have to watch out for the Einzbern contender. No telling which Servant they summoned this time…" Bazette then calmed down before saying, "Good. At least your little 'errand' helped us identify one of the Masters."
"I also know the identities of Archer and Lancer." Avenger informed Bazette, making her eyes widen even more in shock. He could tell her the identity of Saber, but decided against it. He could handle her with little trouble. The x-factors of this war had to be taken out first, and this revelation might just motivate Bazette. "Archer is Train Heartnet from the series Black Cat and Lancer is Rei Ayanami."
"… who is Rei Ayanami?" Bazette asked, making Avenger give her a 'how can you not know this' look. This made her lightly blush in embarrassment.
"Rei Ayanami is from the series 'Neon Genesis Evangelion'. It's a popular anime here in Japan." Archer explained calmly to Bazette. "Of course. She's a magus, so she shouldn't know much about modern media."
"Never heard of the series. Do you mean the movie Neo?" Bazette asked, making Avenger frown at the name. "Well, I will research this information tomorrow. Until then, I am going to bed." Bazette then left the Servant alone.
"…What the Hell is Neo?" Avenger asked himself, only to receive no answers from the now empty room.
The Next Morning (Streets Of Fuyuki):
"Come on Shinji-kun! It's your day off and I'm hungry for Shirou-kun and Sakura-chan's cooking!" Taiga shouted as she dragged Shinji with her by the arm, almost tearing the thing off of the poor man who just smiled weakly to his long-time girlfriend.
"I'm sure they won't mind us being a bit late Taiga-chan. Besides, their kids. They shouldn't have to go out of their way to cook food for us." Shinji told her, making Taiga frown a bit. "Besides, I could always cook…."
"OH HELL NO!" Taiga yelled back as they turned the corner to the Emiya Residence. "It's your day off, so no work of any kind for you! I want you at full energy for tonight!" She then grinned at Shinji, and the man literally swore he saw the face of an actual tiger behind her. "And I've got lots and lots planned for tonight!"
Shinji sighed at his girlfriend's enthusiasm. She hadn't changed a bit since he first met her when joining Hamurahara Gakuren. So full of energy, so outgoing, and so damn playful and enjoyable to be around as opposed to the fiery redhead that he had once know.
Maybe those were the reasons why he loved her so much.
The years had been relatively peaceful for Shinji since the Fourth Holy Grail War. He lived a quiet life with Sola, who now had the fake name Shirley Ikari, and had adjusted fairly well with school life. It wasn't until he met Taiga that he actually began to enjoy his new life. He hung out with her and she introduced him to his now best friends Ryuudou Reikan and Hotaruzuka Otoko. He and Taiga had been in a healthy relationship for five years (even though for some reason Sola didn't seem to be happy when Taiga was around) and Shinji had often contemplated on asking Taiga if they wanted to be more than boyfriend and girlfriend.
The arrival of Waver Velvet however had put those plans in the backburner. Waver would not have returned to Fuyuki for nothing, and last night Shinji thought that he felt the energy of a Servant… "No, it's impossible. The Holy Grail War cannot happen for another fifty years." Shinji thought to himself as Taiga opened the door to the residence. As they went to the kitchen, he continued to dissuade himself. "It's impossible for any Servant to…"
"Shirou-kun? Who is this woman?"
Taiga's voice snapped Shinji out of his thoughts. And he found himself staring at Saber, who for all intents and purposes should not be here, nor should she look like she had not aged a day since the last Holy Grail War.
Sometimes, Shinji really believed that God utterly loved fucking his life over.
A Few Minutes Later (Kitchen Table):
"Um, uh…" Shirou stammered as he sat down near the table, Saber to his right side while Taiga and Shinji sat down opposite to them. Sakura kept setting out the plates full of western-style breakfast foods with the same cheerful smile on her face. However, it became a bit strained whenever she glanced at Saber. "Crap! I still hadn't thought up an excuse for Saber being here!" Shirou wailed in his mind before saying, "This is Saber..." "Oh yeah, REAL smart Emiya. Who the Hell has Saber for a name?" S-she's…"
"I'm an acquaintance of Kiritsugu from Brittan." Saber responded automatically, making Taiga frown and Shirou give a mental sigh of relief. Saber then looked at Shinji and narrowed her eyes. Despite the man's age, voice, and facial hair telling her otherwise she knew he saw him before. "But that's impossible." Saber thought with a frown forming on her lips. "I have only been in this era for the Fourth Holy Grail War, and have only truly met other Servants and a few Masters."
Before Taiga could protest, Shinji spoke up asking, "Shirou, where's Maiya-san? She is usually here before we are."
"S-she's sick." Shirou stuttered out with a bead of sweat forming on the back of his neck. While Taiga absolutely loved to grill him for answers concerning what he usually did, Shinji usually tried to change the topic so that he could be spared of her wrath. "She'll be better soon, so don't worry. I'll bring her some breakfast later."
"Hey! Don't change the topic Shinji-kun!" Taiga yelled as she glared at Shirou with her teeth bared and growled out, "I know you're lying to me Shirou! This is way too convenient!
"N-now Taiga-chan, let's calm down…." Shinji said weakly as Sakura sat down beside him. "W-why don't we eat first? Sakura's done setting everything…" It didn't seem to deter Taiga practically interrogating Shirou for answers, making Shinji sigh in despair while Sakura looked worriedly at Shirou.
Well, at least Saber didn't recognize him. And things couldn't possibly get any worse than they were now…
At this moment, Shinji got the impending sense that fate would give him the one-man salute once again.
In A 'Secret' Location (Above The Table):
"Heh, like I would actually stay in that damn place. Way too dreary for a big star like me." Assassin thought to himself as he stood on the ceiling above the table in his astral form, looking down on all its occupants with a huge grin on his face. He had followed Sakura to her 'Sempai's' house undetected (Like the great assassin he was!) and as luck would have it, that guy also had a Servant! Not only that, but the guy with the goatee was giving off a bit more Prana than a regular human should be giving out. "Maybe he's a Servant too. In that case, it's two Servants versus me. Just what I like!"
"Tsubaki: Kusarigama Mode." Assassin thought before his Noble Phantasm appeared in both of his hands. It was a double-edged, double-pointed chain scythe with yellow handles and a long metal chain connecting to each. "Assassin's Rule Number One: Silence. Dissolve in the darkness and erase your breath. Assassin's Rule Number Two: Transposition Thinking. Analyze the target to predict their thoughts and movements…" Assassin eyes both Saber and Shinji who were looking at the 'questioning' of Taiga. "Assassin's Rule Number Three: Speed. Take out the target before the target notices your presence." Assassin grinned as he went to his physical form before saying, "Let's go!" He then jumped towards the table, the chains clinking as he flipped in the air.
"GHHAAAAAA!" A loud shout disturbed all the occupants of the room, and a large object landed on the table right between Taiga and Shirou. As food flew everywhere, everyone got a good look at the one who had caused it all.
"Assassin?" Sakura thought in both shock and horror as her Servant calmly stood up, took a deep breath, and…
"I'M THE ASSASSIN OF THE HOLY GRAIL WAR, BLACK*STAR!" Assassin yelled as he used his own weapon as a faux microphone. "AND I'VE COME TO ASSASSINATE YOU ALL! YAHOOO!"
Everyone looked at him with faces that showed various degrees of utter shock and bafflement. Assassin looked around with an utterly pleased expression on his face while Sakura felt like crying.
Why did Sakura feel like she was not the only one to have a Servant like this?
Elsewhere in Fuyuki, Waver Velvet sneezed into his morning coffee.
To Be Continued…
Omake: It's A Real Thing! Taiga BLACK*STAR Dojo Preview!
"What the Hell happened to my Dojo!?" Taiga shouted in despair as she looked around the dojo, which was covered in graffiti which said the exact same thing: Black*Star.
"What happened to my shirt?" Illyasviel questioned as she looked at her white shirt, which now had the exact same signature on it.
"Gahaha!" Assassin laughed as he walked into the room. "Well, the readers were obviously drawn to how big of a star I was in this chapter. So I'm just giving them what they want!"
"You fool! This is MY Dojo Preview!" Taiga shouted as she took out her Boukuto. "Prepare yourself for the wrath of Fujimura Taiga!"
"Try it! I'll come out on top like always!" Assassin shouted back as Tsubaki appeared in both of his hands and the two quickly went to battle.
"Stay tuned for the next chapter 'Fast Times At Hamurahara High'!" Illyasviel yelled as the dojo began to tear itself apart from the battle between Assassin and Taiga.
"CHECK IT OUT!" Both of them shouted at the same time before fighting again.
Omake- Different Servants: Assassin
Matou Sakura blinked as she looked at the Servant she summoned. Or Servants, since she apparently summoned more than one. Neither of which could possibly be Medusa the Gorgon. One had poofy brown hair and mean looking eyes while wearing a red short-sleeved jacket, a white shirt, brown shorts, and steel-bottomed Getta sandals. Hanging from his back was a katana that had two horns pointing up the blade as the guard. The other was a man with black hair tied neatly into a ponytail, a pale skin, closed eyes, and wore square-framed glasses. He also wore formal blue samurai robes and had a katana strapped to his left hip.
They were both like fire and water in Sakura's eyes.
"So, we got a chick for a Master?" The first one spoke, making Sakura blink. Well, his voice definitely matched his eyes.
"It should be obvious even to you. She has our Command Seals after all, and the boy behind her looks too spineless to have done it." The samurai informed the man, making Shinji glare at both of them.
"Now listen here…!" Shinji began before the first man unsheathed his katana and aimed it at Shinji's throat.
"Quiet brat, the grownups are talkin' here." The man then looked at the samurai. "Well, at least she has bigger tits than Fu."
Sakura blushed in embarrassment while the Samurai just sighed in response. "Why I was summoned with you as Assassin I will never know…"
And thus began the somewhat awkward partnership between Assassin(s?), once known through life as Mugen and Jin, and their Master Sakura.
Saber would later throw a fit towards Assassin/Mugen 'bastardizing the honored art of swordsmanship'.
His response towards her being a 'tit-less bitch' would… not end well for him. But that is a story for another time.
Note- Yo! Glad I can squeeze this chapter out despite my now even busier schedule and numerous classes! I'm sorry that the fights so far seem sub-par to you guys, but remember that the REAL fighting kicks off soon! In fact, it will start next chapter with Assassin Vs. Saber and Shinji! So please guys, bear with me and be patient. Plus, these chapters are supposed to build Shirou's character so if a LOT of his life seems to be eating up this fic do not worry. We will see Waver's POV soon.
Also if you do not know my alternate Assassin(s?) Mugen and Jin, then you need to watch more anime. They are from Samurai Champloo, and it is practically the Cowboy Bebop of hip-hop. It has humor, action, drama, engaging characters with even more engaging pasts, and EXTREME historical in-accuracy of Edo-Period Japan! I highly recommend that everyone checks it out! This wonderful Anime that deserves more attention than what it is getting!
Also review! Reviews help my muse, and they point out whatever flaws I make. So please, tell me if I'm keeping the characters IC and leave suggestions! So get your fingers into gear and review!
…Please?
