Assassin of Red wasn't one to get emotionally attached to her fellow servants. She knew they were all pawns in a greater game and that she would need to kill them one day. Well, if her master's plan didn't succeed, of course. She doubted he'd fail though. So perhaps she wouldn't have to. Regardless, she made sure not to consider growing any sort of feelings for any of them.
"I think if we add a bit more of this poison dart frog, the poison will act slower." A young female voice spoke up beside her.
Assassin couldn't help but feel a connection with this strange little teen. Their Caster of Red. She had pale, grayish skin, mauve hair, and red eyes. She wore a purple witch outfit and hat that had a red sash on the midsection and hat. The witch robe went down to the ground, almost like she was a ghost. She looked tired and lax most of the time. Well that was until she started talking about potions and poisons. Assassin had immediately taken her aside to see how vast her knowledge was. To her glorious surprise, the little witch knew all sorts of things about poisons.
Well that and mushrooms but Assassin didn't let that get to her. Besides, mushrooms were rather useful in potions and poisons. Caster of Red knew that and it was easy for Assassin to see how far that knowledge went.
"Oh?" Assassin quirked an eyebrow. "Wouldn't it be better to kill them quickly?"
Caster shook her head, "Sometimes yes, but I hate it when my test subjects just up and die on me. It's better to see my concoctions in action." Her smile turned predatory, "To watch each and every step of the process. It's an utter delight, especially when they squirm."
Assassin's eyes sparkled. Yes, this servant was a perfect apprentice. She would mold her to be an excellent practitioner in the poison arts. "Yes, but if that's the case." She held up a bottle, "A little Hydra venom will go along way."
Caster's eyes widened, "You have hydra venom?" When Assassin nodded, "You've got to teach me about that stuff. I've never been able to get my hands on it. School policy and all that."
Assassin grinned victoriously, "You will not have to worry about school policy here. As long as you do well, your efforts will be rewarded."
Caster chuckled, "Now this is a class I can get behind."
Deep within the confines of the White's major base of operations, another servant was at work. The servant, Archer of White, inspected the materials of the troops. He was akin to what one would expect from a nazi official. He wore the crisp and well managed green uniform well. The troops always gave him a salute as he passed. His blonde hair was neat and tidy underneath his hat. He was a man who instilled confidence in his troops with his unwavering loyalty to the cause and his nation.
However, this servant was no ordinary 'man'. Archer of White had a metallic right eye that was more of a half mask for his face. His hands were metallic as well as he gently maneuvered them over a Tiger tank. He smiled in nostalgia, remembering the first time he had seen one of these beauties in action. They were the best tank killer in his mind. Why wouldn't they be? They were german made and german science was the best in the world!
"Be careful," a beautifully rich voice spoke up behind him. "I don't want you getting lost in our tech again."
Archer of White grinned widely as he turned to meet the voice, "Ah, but how can I not get lost in them? They are the epitome of our engineering greatness!"
The woman giggled, "Boys and their toys. Though I do have to appreciate a man who knows the importance of keeping up their machinery."
The woman before him was beautiful. The literal perfect model of the german woman in Archer's eyes. She was curvy and buxom. Her pearl skin was held within a german officer's black uniform. At least one made for a woman as it came down to a skirt. The top of said uniform was opened up to reveal quite a bit of her cleavage. Black thigh highs reached up to her thighs, leaving some of her creamy legs still exposed. A cap lay over her head, doing nothing to stop the perfect blonde hair from spilling downwards. Her shoes were black with a red bottom and had silver metallic facets to them.
This was none other then Rider of White and she made Archer's new heart skip a beat. Here she was, the personification of german engineering. A beauty in the form of the german ideal. He would do everything in his power to protect her. He had known that fact the moment he had seen Rider.
Archer gave her a small bow, "I do what I must for the greatness that is Germany."
"Long may the motherland reign supreme," Rider continued. "I have however come to inform you that the rest of the servants are to be summoned soon."
"Let us meet our compatriots in arms," Archer smiled. "I hope they are of the same stern stuff as us."
"Let us not sell Assassin short," Rider chuckled. "She is a marvelous addition to our army and a delightful girl."
Archer wasn't too keen on Assassin but it wasn't anything personal. Archer knew he'd probably warm up to her soon. He had been friends with a Brit once. He can be friends with a dullahan.
Yes, I am teasing you all with a slow progression here. I thought it would be better to have little snidbits with the servants each being summoned and such. Though of course the Black Faction is the one that will have the most servant/master interactions given everything though that might change. So I'll be introducing 2 or 3 servants a chap until the end and then we'll get into more personal exploration and getting to know them further.
Also, Assassin of White is Lala from Monster Musume. I tell you this since it's been a few chapters and no one's guessed her. Now I know some might be a bit confused why I chose from that anime, but I think some of those characters could be good servants. I mean, Rachnera would be an excellent Assassin~ (Love that anime.) That and Lala has some tricks up her sleeve so she'll be in the fight.
And yes, you guys and gals guessed it. It's Ryuko Matoi and Ahri. Ryuko fit perfectly as a Mordred replacement and Ahri was a must pick for an Assassin. I almost kept Mordred and Jack but decided to change it for a number of reasons. Mostly due to wanting to have more replaced servants. Almost changed Assassin of Red but her Hanging Gardens and just her is a must have.
So this is Caster of Red, Archer of White, and Rider of White. Let's see if you can guess it.
