The story have been Beta thank to RedRat8.
Shirou opened his eyes and looked at the ceiling above him before he slowly sat up and stretched a bit. He then began to check his wounds for any infection or the sorts.
Shirou could see that his wounds had completely healed now before he stood up and got dressed. Shirou then arrived at the hall and saw that Leonard and Radec have already woken up.
"So, how's your wound doing kid?" Leonard asked in concern upon seeing Shirou walked in without any issue.
"It has healed completely. "Shirou said as he stretched a bit and Leonard nodded.
"Excellent, means more hands we can use." Leonard said as he looked over his weapon, checking for any damage.
Shirou nodded then turned his attention to Radec, who was currently looking at all the maps and many scouting reports provided to him by the locals.
"What are you doing Radec?" Shirou asked in curiosity as Radec then slowly turned to him and examining his body before nodding a bit then responding.
"I am checking the known locations of the few Gloria bases around here." Radec started then paused a bit before he spoke with grudging approval. "I have to admit, they are doing a good job about setting their bases," Radec admitted before looking back at them.
"Good morning everyone!" Ruby yelled as she and Sarah walked in, with the latter struggling a bit carrying some fish with her.
"Greeting Ruby." Shirou said politely then looked at Sarah in confusion as said girl then finally laid down the fish on the table. "Where did you get all that fish?" Shirou asked in confusion.
"I had them caught in the river near the village." Ruby replied simply as Shirou stared at the fish in intense concentration before gaining a smile on his face.
"Let me cook today's meals for you guys." Shirou said but not without a strong sense of urgency. Cooking has always been the one thing that could always make him feel calm and happy when not doing other certain activities.
"We do need some breakfast before discussing our plans." Radec admitted and secretly, despite being a soldier he was famished as he had not eaten anything for more than a day already. And everyone else nodded their assent as Shiro began to pick the fish easily, making Sarah look at him with jealousy, as he headed towards the kitchen to make the meal for today.
Few minutes later, Shirou came back with a tray of bowls of fish soup and everyone drooled a bit as they could smell the scent of it, save for Radec. Who was still looking through the reports while having his mask on, who then noticed Shirou and the food and slowly took off his respirator leaving his mouth open to eat.
Then the reactions came from everybody eating food made by Shirou.
"This is so good!" Ruby squealed as she then started to tear up as the food reminded her of Summer's cooking.
"Kid, you really know how to cook, that's for sure." Leonard commented as he was too busy gulping down his own food.
"This is the food of the Gods themselves!" Sarah cried out, not at all ashamed of the tears falling from her eyes.
"If you were in my world I'm sure that Autarch Scolar Visari would have made you his personal cook." Radec said blithely but was too focused on eating food that made the chefs from the palace look like a bunch of amateurs.
One thing that Shirou can be proud of, is not his Tracing skill. It is his skills in cooking that can easily outdo many professional chefs in their own field. After the everyone had breakfast, the group then gathered around the table with the maps and reports and began discussing their next move.
"So Radec, tell me about your plan is so far." Leonard said as he crossed his arms looking at the giant.
"After checking a map from Sarah and few maps belonging to those dead Gloria soldiers." Radec said as Ruby flinched a bit at the painful end their captain came to. "I found that they have a larger base near here." Radec reported as he pointed to a spot on the map. "Nyx said those soldiers we'd met had come from there." Radec said circling the base with his finger.
"You plan to attack that place and claim it." Leonard commented on, catching up to what Radec has planned as said man nodded back in response.
"However, that base is also heavily defended and without the necessary numbers right now. Attacking it is a foolish endeavor." Sarah pointed out with the Drifter nodding in response.
"How many soldiers do we have that are fit to fight with us?" Shirou said as his Eye of the Mind Skill came into place looking for strategic weaknesses and the like.
"Because this is their last village, every Nerubian that had come here are capable of fighting." Radec explained before he poured rain onto the parade. "But the number of soldiers that are experienced or trained enough for our strategy to work rounds about 500 soldiers." Radec said in annoyance "But on the other hand though is that those 500 soldiers are the elite Nerubians that are worth their salt."
"Guess we can't make a direct assault on that turf then." Leonard commented on, not really phased as he rather fights smart than foolish.
"That's correct but Sarah had told me everything about those Nerubians and it seem every one of them are excellent diggers." Radec replied with glee in his tone.
"So, you plan to dig a tunnel straight to their base." Ruby breathed out instantly realizing what he had planned.
"Correct Ruby" Radec praised before going back over to the plan. "First, we will tunnel underneath their base, then we strike at midnight, and then we take that base." Radec stated with the experience and standing of the veteran warrior that he is.
"That certainly sounds like a good plan." Shirou approvingly stated.
"With that base in our hands, maybe we can find information relevant to our next course of action." Radec commented as he dreamed about all the information he could torture out of the survivors and steal from the papers, would certainly be easier compared to trying to take info from Jan Templar. That's for sure, shame he never got to fight him on the battlefield.
"Excuse me." A female voice spoke up.
Everyone turned to see a Nerubian standing near the door. This Nerubian had the upper looks of a normal human girl but with six eyes and long blond hair and thinner and longer legs compared to the rest of her brethren.
"Lord Nyx told me to bring you this as you ordered." the Nerubian calmly said before she placed a white mineral on the table.
"My thanks, but I must ask, what is your name?" Radec questioned in curiosity.
"Rachel, my lord." the now identified Nerubian replied.
"What is that?" Ruby asked as she bent down to take a closer look at the mineral on the table
Shirou picked the mineral up and use his Structural Analysis to identify the mineral and his eyes blinked in surprise at what he was looking at.
"This is Potassium Nitrate, Ruby." Shirou said with some degree of shock.
"What's Potassium Nitrate?" Ruby asked as she tilted her head. Causing some of the other Drifters to look at her in worry now.
"…How old are you Ruby?" Leonard asked after some time.
"I'm 16 right now." Ruby said and her age made everybody a bit quiet, to have died that young and so cheerful as well.
"You really died young, Ruby" Leonard, trying to keep his sorrow for the girl out of his voice. "To answer your question, Potassium Nitrate is one of the three key ingredients needed to making gunpowder." He said as Ruby still looked confused before he sighed again. "Gunpower is the accelerant needed for firearms Ruby." Leonard said as Ruby's eyes went wide.
"Whoa! So, you guys don't use Dust to give your bullets the necessary force?" She asked as everyone looked at her in confusion, before Ruby realized that none of them came from Remnant and expanded on it. "Dust is a crystalized substance and energy source that we use in our whole life in Remnant and our alternative towards your gunpower." As everyone nodded in understanding now.
Shirou, on the other hand was now glad that was away from Rin as no doubt the girl would have interrogated Ruby for her knowledge and bits about Dust for her own magic.
"At any rate." Radec called out. "We need it to make bullets as I realized that those of us who use firearms now have a limited amount of ammo now." Radec stated gravely as he pointed to his crate filled with a few guns with a massive issue.
"Wow! Look as those cool weapons!" Ruby squealed a bit as she rushed to the crate with her speed and began fiddling with the General's weapons.
"How much ammo do you have left Radec?" Shirou asked in concern as he has no need to worry about bullets and the like.
"My StA-X3 W.A.S.P. Launcher only has one more missile in it, my StA-3 LMG have very few rounds left." Radec stated and pointed to said weapons." However, I had not use my other guns so my VC-1 flamethrower has two full tanks, my Shotgun had four rounds left, the sniper rifle luckily has four ammunition boxes, and my pistol has two full clips now." Radec reported like he was on duty.
"Can I use your sniper ammo for my weapon?" Ruby asked as the girl suddenly realized that she only has a limited number of bullets for her sweetheart now while stilling looking at guns that Radec has.
"…Make sure your gun can use those bullets, I do not have much more of them left." Radec warned as Ruby nodded in affirmation.
"So, you plan to make gunpowder to help solve with the logistics for your ammo." Leonard commented, a bit impressed.
"Yes." Radec stated, approving of Leonard's quick thinking. "And to make guns for our army as well." Radec stated, making the other Drifters pay attention to him. "Because this world still use bows and arrows as their main form of ranged weaponry, we shall give them guns to even the playing field." Impressing the other Drifters with his plan so far.
Then Leonard decided to play Devil's advocate. "But do you have any way to actually make guns?" Leonard commented a bit skeptically. "Because if their main form of ranged weapons are bows and arrows then that means they do not have the technological capability to make even a revolver, much let automatic weaponry." Leonard rationalized and soon the other Drifters could see his point.
"Then we can make those old guns like the muskets of old." Radec continued on, determined to get his army at least up to his standard.
Ruby then raised her eyebrows. "How?" She asked as no one had blueprints to old weaponry like that and she worked with modern weapons. Then Shirou then widened his eyes and started grinning.
"With my aid." Shirou said as he looked deep into his Reality Marble and pulled a musket rifle out that he saw in a museum one time.
Everyone in the room now looked at the musket rifle Shirou had created then turned their attention back to him with shock and awe.
"I thought you could only create swords." Leonard breathed out while Radec picked up the musket rifle and started inspecting it checking for any flaws or the like before nodding in approval.
"Like I said Leonard, while I can Trace other weapons. The problem is the fact that they are a bit too complicated for me to understand. But with such a commonplace weapon like Muskets, understanding how it works is much simpler." Shirou explained.
"Guess asking you to make the guns for our troops is out of the question then." Radec said disappointingly as he used his enhanced strength to snap the weapon into magic dust.
"True, but we could still use those guns that Shirou created as the blueprints for us to follow." Ruby said happily and positively. "And I can help with that process." She commented with a smirk.
"You know how to make guns." Radec stated, with a smile underneath his mask, already liking the girl more and more.
"Yeah! In my world. everyone who want to be a Huntsman or Huntress have to make their own weapon that suits them." Ruby said. "with several exceptions, though." She then whispered underneath her breath. "That's how I made my Sweetheart." Ruby cooed, showing off Crescent Rose once more.
"That's impressive Ruby so you and I will handle the business of making the musket rifles for our army then." Radec said with glee as he started to rub his hands in anticipation.
"Yeah! And I can't wait to do it." Ruby squealed out. "Maybe I can add a few upgrades to the muskets while I'm at it." Ruby said with excitement causing Leonard to be worried and Radec to be quite pleased.
"So, our gun problem's now done, can we please go back to what we are still needing to make gunpowder?" Leonard asked Radec as he nodded in reply.
"We have potassium nitrate, so that's a start. But we still need sulfur and charcoal to complete the process." Shirou recalled when going over the properties of gunpowder.
"…If it's about sulfur, then my organization can get it for you." Sarah soon spoke up making everyone look at her and she lowered herself a bit in response.
"Good, now all we need is charcoal." Radec stated
"I know how to make it." Shirou piped up, being a chef of his level meant working with barbeque as well.
"Then I will leave make the charcoal to you then." Radec finished on the gunpowder before changing to other subjects. "Now me and Leonard will go scout that camp with Nyx and find a place to dig through." Radec said before he and Leonard got up before leaving to follow Rachel as the other Drifters do their thing.
Radec now stood still on a small hill and use the binoculars that he 'borrowed' from Sarah to observe the base before him.
"So, they have high walls surrounding their base making it difficult to see their leader unless said leader make him or herself a target." Radec commented as he examined their base carefully.
The base Radec saw had high walls surrounding it, making it foolish for a frontal assault plan. Even if they managed to break through, a huge number of troops remained behind the wall. He counted there to be about 2000 of them and several catapults and ballistae. Radec know that a Nerubian can take out 5 to 10 men before they die. The Spider lord, from what he had seen can tank more damage to his big body and hard armor. With that in mind it is most likely that the ballistae are possibly the only weapons that can pierce through the armor before he noticed a village in the south of the base.
"Nyx! I do not remember seeing any such village on the map." Radec said to the Spider lord who narrowed his eyes at what he saw.
"That is because that's not human village." Nyx calmly answered making Radec raise his eyebrows behind his mask as he continued. "That, is a Cyclops village." Nyx finished.
"You mean the race that looks like humans but with only one eye?" Leonard questioned in curiosity.
"Yes, When the Gloria Empire began their war, they capture non-human races and make them work to death for supplies. And you don't see them on the map as they do not belong to Gloria humans." Nyx explained.
"So, they use non-human race to do labor so they can have more soldiers." Leonard frowned a bit.
"That's a good strategy." Radec said, clearly ignoring or not caring for the moral implications of it. "We can recruit those Cyclops for our army after we take the base." He said rather gleefully, thinking about the amount of carnage the cyclops could release.
"Can we send someone to talk to them?" Leonard added, trying to get allies right now.
"I doubt it, so long as that base stands, then any of our scouts will clearly be seen by the base watch and tunneling would take a while." Radec retorted making Leonard frown. "How long will it take you to tunnel to where we need you to go for the base Nyx?" He then asked.
"If we do it right now, then we can be done before tomorrow night." Nyx replied.
"Good then tell your warriors to start digging and make sure they don't dig to far in." Radec warned.
"We are experienced in this, so we can guarantee we will be where we need to be." Nyx said.
"Good let's return and see how everyone else is doing." Leonard said then.
Upon their return, both of them saw a few mounds made from mud located far from the village, each one had eight holes around the base of the mound and right now there's fire kindled on top of each mound. There are also a few Nerubians putting more wood on top of the mound.
"So, what are you doing Shirou?" Radec asked as he saw Shirou stand near one of the mound while putting some wood on the top of the mound now burning with fire.
"I'm make charcoal from wood, using the mound method." Shirou explained as Leonard nodded in understanding.
"The wood was broken up and stacked into a mound with the largest pieces in the center and smaller sticks and leaves on the outside." Shirou started to explain. "The mound is then coated in mud and a hole drilled on top while 8 smaller air holes were made around the base of the mound. Then fire is kindled at the top of the mound using hot coals from the fire and the burning process begins." Shirou finished explaining.
"So how long till we will have our first batch?" Radec asked calmly.
"Now all we have to do is wait for the fire to burn right up to each opening hole then we plug them with mud. Once all holes are sealed, the hole on top of the mound that was sealed with mud and the mound is left to cool." Shirou explaining a bit before running the calculations in his head. "My best estimate is about one to two days still." Radec nodded at that estimation.
"Now we have both charcoal and potassium nitrate, all we need is sulfur and we can start making gunpowder." Radec finished as Shirou and Leonard nodded.
"Now let's see how Ruby's progress on those guns." Leonard then spoke up.
"I Traced a few musket rifles for her." Shirou said. "I was originally conflicted on whether or not we should use simple muskets or the rifle version but stuck with the latter as they use Minie Balls. Which is better than the old Musket Balls." Shirou reported, remembering that tidbit of info on musket riflery.
As the trio then began to walk towards where Ruby was, they could tell that something was off as there was a visible dark cloud above the girl.
"What's wrong Ruby?" Shirou asked in concern.
"When I give them, the Musket Rifle You Traced to a few of the Nerubian blacksmiths, they all said that they can't replicate the weapon due to its complexity." Ruby said in anguish. "That means whatever I plan to make will be practically impossible then." Ruby then started to cry.
The trio looked at the poor girl in discomfort, even Radec, while Sarah tried to cheer the girl up.
"Maybe a Dwarf could help since the world we're in does have about every fantasy creatures we've only heard in myth." Shirou said trying to cheer her up, though be incredibly wary as that could mean dangerous Phantasmal Beasts could also be here to cause trouble. "And according to myth, Dwarves are fine blacksmiths." He stated, remembering that tidbit from Norse mythology.
"We don't have Dwarves here. They're all in the Orte Empire since their country had been conquered by Orte." Nyx explained. "But maybe the Cyclops could help, as their blacksmithing skills does rival the work of the Dwarves." She stated, making Shirou nod as he remembered it was the Cyclops who forged the Greek Gods' symbols of power like Zeus's lightning Bolt, Poseidon's Trident, and Hades' Helm of Invisibility.
"Well what do you know? we just found out that there's a village full of Cyclops near the base we're going to conquer." Leonard smirked at such a useful coincidence.
"Then it's settled, after we capture that base we can ask if they desire to join us." Radec said with the final nail on the coffin.
"That means we can create guns!" Ruby shouted very happy at what she heard.
"Maybe." Radec said, as he realized that this world is still quite primitive and that means trying to make bullets will possibly be impossible unless Shirou understands and knows the properties of a primer.
The next day everyone had a quick breakfast before they began checking their plan to attack the base.
"My men had dug two tunnels for us, one to the storehouse and the other leads near the gate close to the Cyclops village." Nyx reported.
"I thought we're just digging one." Leonard stated in confusion.
"We dug another the other since one of my men heard that they found some intruders hiding in their village." Nyx explained. "They plan to kill a few cyclops to serve as examples for defying them."
"So, we'll divide in two groups then." Radec stated taking charge now. "One will take the base and the second will take care of those soldiers in the village."
"So, who will in the first group?" Shirou asked.
"You will go with me and Radec." Leonard said. "While Ruby will go with the second group." As everyone nodded in agreement.
The rest of the day passed rather quickly. Ruby stand on the small hill gazing at the base they're going to take.
"Jitters before the battle?" Ruby heard then turned to see Leonard leaning on the tree nearby.
"No! I'm just thinking about something, is all." Ruby said.
"You fear killing those men Ruby, don't you Ruby?" Leonard stated as matter of fact as he saw her flinch heavily. "Don't try to hide it, I could tell from the way you fought, that you only tried to disarm or cripple them in our first battle together."
"I don't want to kill them." Ruby sadly said as she looked away.
"How many people had you have to kill Ruby?" Leonard asked softly as Ruby was nothing like him, Radec, or even Shirou.
"…Two." Ruby said after some time.
"Whom were those two you had killed and why you killed them?" Leonard asked, trying to ease her in.
"The first kill was a Faunus named Tyrian. He was one of of Salem's associates. I killed him because he attacked my friends and tortured them to flush me out and the second person I killed was Salem, she's the one who masterminded the creation of the Grimm in my world and the one who kill my mother." Ruby said calmly though Leonard could see her clenching her fists.
"So, you killed two of them because you were furious at the first one for torturing your friends and the second for killing your mother and creating a species who slaughter millions of people." Leonard calmly said.
"They deserved that." She spat angrily. "But those men, they were just following orders." Ruby sadly said.
"I know it's hard for you but sometimes to protect lives, you have to take some lives." Leonard wisely said before walking away leaving Ruby in her thoughts.
Inside the base is very quiet since most soldiers were in their barracks. Inside the storehouse, a crack began to form in the floor before the earth collapsed creating a small hole. Then Nyx raised his head from the hole and looked around before climbing up. The Spider lord look around to make sure no one was around.
"It's clear." Nyx declared.
Then from the hole, Radec came out followed by Leonard, Shirou, and the Nerubians in their group. Shirou then moved closer to the door and moved his head close to it and listened for anyone else.
"Other side's clear." Shirou stated.
"Excellent everyone, remember the plan." Radec ordered and received nods from everyone.
A pair of soldiers stood guard on the wall enraptured in their discussion.
"Do you know who those sneaks were in the village?" the first one asked.
"Don't know, but I heard that they're Drifters and one of them is injured." the second said.
"What? Drifters!" the first one shockingly shouted.
"Yeah! That's why command wants then dead, they believed that they're the ones who killed our soldiers that had been sent to kill the Nerubians" The second replied.
"That explains why not many of us are here now." the first one stated.
But before the second soldier could talk more, a pair of hands grabbed him from behind. The first one saw his friend had been caught by a Nerubian tried to call for help before another Nerubian slit his throat from behind.
Inside the barracks most of the soldiers were asleep save for a few when they raised their heads in confusion.
"Hey, you smell something burning?" One of them asked before they saw fire on the walls.
"Shit! Fire, everyone wake up!" someone yelled.
The soldiers who were asleep quickly got up and saw fire spreading very quickly. Few of them tried to open the doors but something was barring it, preventing the door from opening. Few more tried to break the windows but they saw that the windows had been blocked by ice bars. The soldier then began to cry in despair as the fire continued burning.
Outside the now burning barrack was Radec with his flamethrower and next to him was Leonard. The man had use his Cryogun to block the doors and create ice bars for the windows to prevent the soldiers from escaping while Radec set the building ablaze.
"You remind me my partner with that flamethrower, you know." Leonard commented.
"Really?" Radec asked.
"Yes! I use the Cryogun to freeze things while he used his flamethrower to burn things." Leonard said "Except the fact he was hotheaded and pyromaniac." Leonard said rolling his eyes.
"I see…" Radec said before turning around hearing the alarm at the base meaning the fire had been noticed already. But was too late as most of the soldiers were locked in the barracks. The Nerubians can deal with the rest.
Few soldiers began moving from their posts, and soon found out many Nerubians had begun killing them. While Shirou lead a group of Nerubians to the base gate, He then drew his arrows and killed the guards on top.
"Open the gate!" He ordered.
The Nerubians began to take wood blocks off the gate and opened it. Then Shirou grabbed a tourch near him and ran out and waved it. The Nerubians hiding nearby saw the signal and began to move toward the gate.
The soldiers soon saw that they were surrounded and began to panic and trying to find a way to escape. But the Nerubians soon surrounded them before a few found the horses and tried to escape.
"Shirou take them out before they can escape." Radec ordered.
Shirou then Traced his bow and arrows and began shooting them down. Inwardly though, he wanted to let them escape since their goal was to take the base. But he knew that if they escape they will report back to command and they will soon come back with more soldiers.
"Drown in your own foolish ideals and die, Emiya Shirou!" Archer's mocking words whispered tauntingly to him.
During his time studying at Clock Tower and traveling to parallel realities, curtesy of Rin. Shirou found out the identity of Archer. He was a Emiya Shirou who'd made a contract to Alaya and became a Counter Guardian.
"How ironic that I will do the same chores as he did." Shirou said mockingly to himself before fire his arrows.
After that, Shirou soon walked back to the others. He could see a few of the soldiers had surrendered and were rounded up by orders of Radec.
"This is every soldier in the base?" Shirou asked looking at the crowd of soldiers before him.
"Yes, because their leader is not here and took a huge number of soldiers with him and now they are like a headless chicken." Radec stated with disapproval at the soldiers surrendering before him. If they were back on his world he would have had them executed for cowardice.
"Lord Radec!" a voice yelled out.
Everyone turned to see Rachel running towards them.
"What is it?" Radec questioned.
"Lady Ruby told me to come here and report that all soldiers willing to surrender at the Cyclops village had been rounded up with the aid of some Drifters!" Rachel said, surprising everyone there.
"There are Drifters in the village?" Shirou asked in surprise.
"Yes." Rachel said while nodding.
"I think we should go meet them now." Leonard suggested and the others agreed.
(Flashback)
When Ruby stepped inside the tunnel she was really surprised to see that the tunnel was big enough to even fit Nyx's body in there, the group begin following the tunnel until they saw the two tunnels.
"The left tunnel will lead us to the base while the right tunnel will lead us outside the village." Nyx explained.
"This where we separate, you know what to do Ruby." Radec stated.
"Yes." Ruby calmly said.
"Capture them if they surrender but kill them if they escape we cannot let them alert the other bases." Radec firmly repeated.
Ruby nodded, before she really did not desire to take any more lives and hope this will not end up like the last time before her group hit a dead end.
"How are we supposed to get to the village like this?" Ruby questioned.
"Allow me." one Nerubian spoke before using his claw hand to hit the surface above them. Soon enough, the earth began to collapse creating a hole before the Nerubian climbed up first to make sure it's safe before the others began to climb up.
"Okay everyone, we will surround the village and take out those soldiers one by one. Kill them if you don't have any choice." Ruby said as the Nerubians nodded in affirmation.
They slowly sneaked near the village even when there was no moonlight, it was better to be safer than sorry.
"Drifters!" someone in the village yelled followed by many voices.
"Kill them!" One shouted.
"You welcome to try." a woman retorted and Ruby's eyes widened.
"It can't be!" Ruby breathed out before she quickly ran to the source of that voice.
She quickly saw a large group of soldiers with their weapons ready surrounding six people.
First was a man with short blond hair and blue eyes, he wore full white sliver armor and carried a long sword in his hand. The second was a man with silver hair tied into a ponytail and had green eyes, he also wore sliver armor. The third one wore full black armor with his helmet covering his face and he also hold a sword. The fourth man had long red hair, also wearing full armor and held a bow in his hand.
The fifth and sixth members of their group were females. one was a girl with short golden hair and green eyes, she wore shining armor with an old styled dress, made from old-fashioned blue cloth, underneath. But the last girl was the one that grabbed Ruby's attention.
The last girl had long white tied into ponytail and had blue eyes with a scar on her left eye. she wore a blue, glittering mini-skirt dress with a sweetheart neckline on top of a white, tulle petticoat. A white ribbon tied at the waist, and over the outfit was a long-sleeved blue shrug. Her weapon's a rapier.
"Weiss." Ruby breathed out, not caring if tears fell out from her eyes.
"I can't understand what you're saying!" A well armored man who Ruby assumed was the leader of the group before her. "You barbarians who can't even speak our tongue should die!" The leader, most likely, snarled before he ordered the soldiers to charge at her friends and Knights of sorts.
The blond knight then dashed and slashed the soldiers before him. One tried to thrust his spear at the man but the knight quickly caught it before delivering a slash to the soldier. Then he quickly leapt forward swinging his sword around, cutting three more soldiers in the process.
The red-haired knight drew an arrow to his bow and begin to shooting at the soldiers who charged at him, one was lucky enough to come close but the red-haired knight stabbed the man's throat with his arrow before using it to shoot another soldier.
The sliver knight blocked a strike with his sword before using his right hand to punch his attacker's face sending the poor soldier to the ground before turning around and striking another soldier trying to attack him from behind.
The black armored knight killed one of the soldiers trying to attack him before taking his weapon and fighting another with two swords. Then one big soldier whose weapon was a mace tried attacking him by his mace down. The knight blocked it with his two swords then used his strength, he disarmed the mace from the big one, causing him to stumble before the knight beheaded him.
The girl in the blue dress also fought with all her might, as she struck down her enemy with her golden sword, with every strike she made, not one of the soldiers were left standing. Combined with her speed and unnatural strength, none of the soldier stood a chance.
"They're too strong!" One soldier shouted.
"Target the white-haired girl, she looks weaker than the others!" the captain ordered pointing at Weiss. The soldiers then turned their attention to Weiss and charged at her.
But Weiss simple swing her rapier releasing a line of fire burning a few unlucky soldiers standing in its path. Then a few soldiers thrusted their spears at her but Weiss simply stabbed her rapier to the ground, as a dome of ice a surrounded Weiss blocking her from any attack.
"Nice try, but you have to do better!" Weiss taunted.
The she thrust her rapier at the soldiers releasing a gust of wind sending the solders flying to the wall.
"That woman's is witch!" one of the soldiers yelled with horror.
"Let me deal with the witch then!" the captain said as he drew his sword.
The captain charged at Weiss and swung his sword but a blue barrier appeared before Weiss, blocking his strike. Weiss used this chance to thrust her rapier at the captain's shoulder the man collapsed soon after Weiss's stab.
"Next time don't judge a book by its cover." Weiss reprimanded then turning her attention to the soldiers.
Weiss was too focused on the soldiers in front her that She failed to notice the captain slowly getting back up to strike her down.
"Lady Weiss! Behind you!" the blond knight yelled desperately.
"Die you witch!" the captain yelled as Weiss's eyes widened and turned around too late to stop the sword from striking her.
*Bang*
The captain fell before he could strike her and there was a perfect circle in his forehead. Everyone turned to see where the shot had come from and were answered when they saw Ruby holding her Crescent Rose in gun mode.
"Ruby!" Weiss said in surprise as her eyes went wide this time from happy surprise.
"We surrounded you and your base has been taken!" Ruby yelled as everyone soon saw the smoke from behind the walls.
"Drop your weapon and surrender, no one will be harmed." Ruby said calmly as the Nerubians began to show up and surrounded the group.
The soldiers, upon seeing their situation soon dropped their weapons and raised their hands in surrendering.
"Rachel! Please tell the others at the base that we saved the village and found more Drifters." Ruby ordered and the Nerubian complied.
"Ruby… is that really you?" Weiss asked as her voice trembled.
"…Hi Weiss." Ruby soon said finding herself on the ground as Weiss hugged the girl while crying heavily.
"You Dolt! Why did you have to go alone and leave us behind?" Weiss cried out hugging her still.
Everyone around then looked at the two girls who were hugging it out and let them have their moment, it seems these two were sisters in arms. After a few minutes, Weiss finally regained her composure.
"So why are you here?" Ruby asked.
"I should be the one asking!" Weiss shouted. "What are you doing here with those mutant Faunus?"
"Well." Ruby drawled out for a bit. "We're here to take their base and free the Cyclops in this village " Ruby stated as she finally noticed the Cyclops for the first time.
They look liked normal humans save for their large single eye. Then Ruby remembered a important question. "How did you get here?" Ruby asked.
Weiss shrugged "I found myself waking up here, then I found those Knights." Weiss pointed her hand at said Knights. "One of them was injured so I took care her injury then we looked around trying find some village. Then we come across one Cyclops girl. At first, she surprised us and we didn't understand what she said but she noticed one of us was injured, so she took us back to this village and hid us here. We were here for two day before those soldiers showed up and search for us and you know the rest." Weiss finished.
"Lady Weiss, might I ask who this girl is?" the blond knight asked as the Knight approached her and Ruby.
"This my team leader. Ruby Rose, I told you about Gawain." Weiss stated as Ruby tried and failed to do a curtsy once more, causing Weiss to giggle a bit.
"It's a pleasure to meet you Lady Ruby, I am Sir Gawain." Gawain sated as he kissed her knuckle causing her to blush a bit.
"I am Sir Bedivere, I am also pleased to meet you." the silver knight greeted.
"I am Sir Tristan, pleased to meet you as well." the red-haired knight spoke as Ruby noticed that his eyes were shut.
"I am Sir Lancelot Lady Weiss had told us about you." The black knight said as he took off his helmet showing his short purple hair with purple eyes.
And the girl in the blue dress stood in front her and smiled.
"It is a pleasure to meet you my name is-"
"Saber?" A very familiar male voice called out to her causing her to look shocked as everyone turned around to see Radec, Leonard, and Shirou arriving But Shirou looked at Saber with wide eyes.
"Shirou." Saber breathed out as she tried to restrain herself from hugging him in joy, knowing that her one time lover is here.
"Looks like they have finally reunited" Zelretch said a smile looking at the newspaper in Murasaki's hands.
"So, that's the reason you put their names on my file." Murasaki noted in annoyance looking at the vampire.
"Hey, Hey I did not touch that. You know that I'd promised with the both of you that I will not interfere with what you two are doing." Zelretch whined.
"And you better keep that promise you damned Troll." a voice called out.
Both men turned around to see Easy standing there with a massive grin on her face.
