?: "Saber!"

Saber: "hmmm?"

?: "Saber!"

Saber: "what, who's there?"

Saber found herself standing in a large dark room. No light for as far as she could see.

Saber: "where's is this?"

?: "Saber!"

She turned to see a boy with orange hair calling towards her. The boy seemed familiar to her, but she couldn't quite remember him.

Orange haired boy: "Saber look out!"

Saber immediately turned, and just as quickly ducked barley dodging a lance to the face. Saber reflexively slashed at her attacker clashing with his lance. She did no damage but manage to push him back.

Saber: "who are you and why are we fighting!"

The lancer said nothing and charged her. Saber braced for the attack but before the Lancer could get close he disappeared. The world around saber suddenly changed and around her she saw the ruins of a city. Buildings were crumbling, streets were filled with debris, and bodies were scattered across the area. Saber than looked into the air seeing a large storm cloud that blocked out the sky. In the middle of the storm was a large eye peering down to the world.

Saber: "what is that?"

?: "hmmm this world is completely perfect."

Saber turns to see a tall lank man with black hair stretching down to his knees. The man wore a gas mask and a doctor's uniform. His body had tubes and wires steaming from out his flesh and reentering at different areas. His right arm was mechanical, and he had a large device of some kind on his back.

Doctor: "World Fate/Stay night, a perfect world for my collection."

Saber: "who are you?"

Doctor: "ah a straggler."

Saber: "straggler, did you do this."

Doctor: "indeed I did not that you will remember this."

Suddenly Saber felt sharp pain and collapsed to the ground. She clutched her chest and coughs up blood.

Saber: "what….. What is this?"

Doctor: "relax it will all be over soon."

Saber's eyes began to close as she returned to a world of darkness.

Not my Rodeo

BGM:

Saber a little groggy wakes up hearing yelling in the other room. She enters curious to see what all the commotion was about. Not to her surprise Terry and Rock were arguing again, but this time it was different. Typically there was always a sense of sarcasm or humor to their arguments, but this was filled with rage. Rock was glowing of a blue energy, and it seems to take everything he had to prevent himself from striking terry.

Rock: "You Idiot! (Rock speaks with great fury, yet at the same time seems to be fighting back tears) I said this was bad idea from the start, but you just didn't listen, you never listen!"

Saber turns to look at Shiki and Arcuied who were watching the whole situation.

Saber: "what's going on?"

Shiki: "yesterday me and Arcuied were attacked. Later on we came to fine a bounty for the 6 of us."

Terry: (concerned but remaining calm) "listen this can still work out."

Rock: "no it can't! Do you even think?"

Terry: "come on, it's not like our lives weren't on the line before."

Rock: "well before there wasn't a picture of Hotaru on it, with the words dead or alive. You put her in danger, you and your stupid plans."

Terry: "well what about the tournament if we win we can still save the village."

Rock: "We wouldn't need to save it if didn't set the fields on Fire! None of this would have happen if you just did your job like a normal person!"

Terry begins to rebuttal against Rock, but he can't find anything to say.

Saber: "if I may intervene. What's done is done. What mistakes happen in the past is over with. All we have now is to deal with the present."

Rock: (thinks for a moment and calms himself down) "we need to get Hotaru out of this city."

Hotaru: "I'm not leaving."

Rock: "you will leav…."

Hotaru: "I said I'm not leaving Rock."

Rock: "these people want to kill us Hotaru."

Hotaru: "I'm not afraid, and I can take care of myself. We need this for the village. We can't turn back now, and I won't turn back either."

Rock (flustered): "than I assume I can't stop you."

Terry: "great well let's hug and make up."

Rock: "don't touch me! (Terry backs of as Rock delivers a still quite angered glare) I'm going to scout out the competition."

Rock head out the room.

Saber: "we do need to be more careful. It's obvious our enemies aren't going to fight honorably. I have a feeling as we progress; they're going to try harder and harder to stop us."

Wolf Pack

Rock heads towards the main plaza of Treno stopping near a fountain overlooking to the man-made lake of the day less city. Rock searches his pockets and takes out a small coin and examines it.

Rock: "you know if Terry was here he'd say 'hey Rock all we have to do is just toss a coin in the fountain and all of our troubles will be over.' He's always so over optimistic (tosses the coin in the fountain) I guess this is the part where I make my wish."

?: "that wish will do you no good pup."

Rock turns around to see he's surrounded, large men dressed in wolf pelts are crawling all over the plaza. Some stare down from buildings, others in circle him on all fours. Their leader was a large man wearing a white wolf pelt.

The Shaman (white wolf): "it would appear that the pup separated himself from his pack."

Rock: "I'm really not in the mood for this."

The Shaman: "doesn't matter pup, you're going to be meat for my pack."

Two of the wolf launches themselves to Rock, one approaching from his left side and the other from his back. Rock swiftly swings his fist planting it into the face of the wolf from the left. He then grabs the wolf by its pelt swinging him into the second wolf knocking them into the lake. The Shaman lets out Howl as the entire pack charges Rock. Rock in anticipation flicks his hand igniting them with a blue flame. The first wolf charges him straight in the face. Rock slams his fist down plowing it into the head of the wolf striking him so hard into the ground that the bricks crack. Two more charges again a frontal assault. Rock channels great energy in his right hand making glow like a star, and then Whammmm! Smacking the wolf in his jaw rock upper cuts him launching him into the air. Rocks left hand then glows with same intensity. He rams his fist into the second wolfs gut launch him through the pack like a bowling ball.

Rock: "Strike!"

The wolves look at one another than back at rock. They all split up and begin the run around Rock in circles. Every now and then they would charge, but rock would simply knock them down with his fist. One charges him from his left and with all his might Rock slams his fist into the wolf, but then Rock feels a great pain in his shoulder. A wolf had attacked him from behind and took a large bite on his right shoulder. The sharp teeth pierce the skin causing him to bleed. Immediately Rock's left fist ignites with a great flame and he pounds his fist into the wolf's head repeatedly. Eventually he channels enough energy that his hand becomes blinding, he swings and in an explosion of blue light he flings the wolf off. Just then two more wolves charged him one biting his left leg, another biting his right arm. Rock tries to shake them off, but nothing is working. More and more charges him biting him on various places. They dog pile him, covering him till rock can no longer be seen.

Rock: "RAGING STORM!"

Suddenly a tornado of blue energy appears swirling all the wolves into its funnel. The energy spins them while at the same time strikes with large pulses of blue energy. The tornado slams some wolves into one another, the unlucky ones receive deep burns from colliding with the energy walls or if they happen to be hit by a stray bolt of energy. The tornado last for about ten seconds before suddenly stopping bringing dozens of wolves crashing back to the ground hard. Rock remains as the only man standing from the dog pile, glowing with a blue aura, and from his back two large blue aura wings emerge. The Shaman the last of his wolf brethren stands staring at his opponent in disbelief.

The Shaman: "how can a pup generate so much energy?"

Rock: "your employers should've told you before taking this hit. I was trained by the lone wolf."

The Shaman: "the lone wolf? You mean the one that destroyed two of my master's competitors. Geese, and Wolfgang Krauser?"

Rock: "I don't know who your master is, but if he's anything like them two, than I'm sure the lone wolf will be paying them a visit, and if he doesn't I will!"

With those last words Rock charges towards the Shaman who only barley manages to dodge. The Shaman jumps to Rock's side and slams his claws into to Rock, flinging him a few feet to the side. Rock acrobatically lands on his right hand and uses the momentum to shoot himself up. In midair he channels energy in his hand and…

Rock: "Reppuken!"

Rock unleashes a massive wave of energy straight to the ground forcing the shaman to evade once again. When Rock lands on the ground he immediately begins his next attack.

Rock: "Double Reppuken!"

Two blades of energy cut their way through the ground the Shaman in a moment of fear jumps straight into the air. Rock than gracefully jumps into the air summersaulting and with the force of a semi-truck strikes The Shaman in the head with his leg spiking The Shaman Back to the ground. Rock floats down next to him.

The Shaman (spitting up blood) "I don't believe this (immediately he tries to Strike Rock) I won't lose to a pup!"

Rock Grabs the Shaman's hand stopping his attack. The Shaman looks into Rock eyes; they glowed with a fiery blue anger. This frightens the Shaman he just pushed the wrong button.

Rock: "Neo (he swings the Shaman's arm out of the way leaving the Shaman open) Deadly ( He plows his fist into the Shaman's gut.) RAVE!"

Rock unleashes a flurry of punches pelting the Shaman at every available area he could strike. Every area struck by Rock's fist left a burn, and at times a dent. The bloody and bruised Shaman swore for a few seconds he didn't see the pup he was fighting, but another man. With Rocks final punch he powered up a Reppuken blasting the Shaman into the railing that divided the plaza from the lake. Rock glowing with his aura walked towards the Broken Shaman, ready to finish it. The Shaman look over in fear, convinced that the aura was of another man, a man he seemed to recognize. Rock Raised his fist ready to end it.

The Shaman: "Please Have Mercy!"

Rock stopped in his tracks. This scene it was all too familiar to him. Suddenly he felt himself a child peering into his father's room. His father was with a man bloodied and bruised his father was channeling energy in his hand. The man was screaming for mercy from Rock's father, but Geese, had no care for mercy. He struck the man down. Rock remembered that day. He confronted his father for the first time about this.

Rock: "he… he already lost why did you have to kill him!"

Geese: "it was the only tactical thing to do. He rose his fist against me he should've known the consequences."

Rock: "but…. But father, he could've never won. You could've showed him mercy!"

Geese: "grow up and be the Warrior you're meant to be. Mercy will get you killed son take this as a lesson."

Rock returns to his world looking at the Shaman. At his side he could feel his father.

Geese: "if you let him live, he will return, and he will kill you. He will kill you, Terry, and Hotaru. Let him live would be the equivalent of placing a death sentence on your friends."

Rock couldn't help but see the genuine fear in the Shaman. He didn't know what to do.

Geese: "kill him my son, kill him and save your friends from future threats."

Energy begins to channel in rock, he stairs down the shaman before firing a final Reppuken, The blast flies right into the lake, and plows into a dinner table on the other side. The shaman was unharmed.

Rock: "Leave now and never come back!"

With that Rock begins to leave pushing the thoughts of his father back down in his head.

Encounter

Rock began to stumble his way home, emitting a trail of energy from himself. He was sweating porously trying his hardest to keep himself focus on moving. Rock wondered into an ally and sat down leaning against the wall. Rock had grown a little pal and he looked at his hands which were still emitting a stream of energy where becoming a little burned.

Rock: *why am I so tired. Why is my blood boiling so much.*

?: "so you still haven't learn how to control your powers."

Rock immediately stood assuming a combat position. Looking to his left he sees his uncle Kain standing with a slightly smug smile on his face.

Kain: "I have no intention in fighting you Rock; in truth I was going to applaud you in your fight against the Shaman. Though I don't like your taste in judgment that Shaman was an immediate threat to your person so I had to execute him."

Rock: "I showed him mercy!"

Kain: "Mercy might be good in the stories nephew but this is real life, I'm merely doing what's necessary to protect you."

Rock: "I never needed your help; as far as we're concern just consider ourselves enemies."

Kain: (take a look at his nephews pal complexion) "tell me Rock have you ever truly learn how to use your powers."

Rock: "I just went in a one against 30 fight and you're going to ask me that."

Kain: "indeed, but the shaman and his men aren't what I would call strong, they shouldn't have weaken you as much as you are."

Rock: "are you trying to call me weak."

Kain: "no Rock your quite powerful just undisciplined. You see our powers are nothing to be trifled with, as we speak your own energy is eating you up from the inside, and I bet that red neck never taught you how to control it."

Kain begins to walk forward towards Rock, and un expectantly places his hand on Rock's Shoulder. Rock Retaliates by shoving his uncle back.

Rock: "what are you try…*my pain, my burns their gone*"

Kain: "I restored your energy back to normal, no need to thank me. Rock I'm assuming you never had to push yourself before now. Up until now you've only trained in safe environments. You can't handle your own full potential. You know if I had trained you, you wouldn't have any of these feedback issues."

Rock: "I don't need your training."

Kain: "than at least accept this as family advice you need some training to control your powers better or else you won't survive this tournament."

With that Kain turns around and returns to the Plaza leaving Rock to think to himself.

Café

Sometime had passed since Rock's encounter in the plaza, He returned with the of the group telling them of his fight with the Shaman. The team ultimately decided that there was only one direction to go from here, and that was forward. Rock and Terry couldn't let Kain win, Saber not only wanted the Holy Grail but was growing more curious about the town and its mysteries, Arcuied and Shiki still had a bone to pick with the Trench coat man. They made a decision that no one would leave the rooms alone, considering that their enemies didn't care about odds and would likely get craftier as time proceeded. It was obvious that one of their opponents hired the hits, and all they could do was try to find out whom and defeat them. That's why the whole crew returned to the mansion's cafeteria. The room was filled with fighters of all kind some of them where martial artist, some of them dressed in classy suites, some thugs some nobles, some espers, some cyborgs, and some something else. The team took a seat towards the middle of the room. Rock and Saber had performed some research and had discovered the identity of some of their rival teams.

To the table in the South stood 5 individuals with uniquely powerful auras, one of them was the drunk that Saber remembered when she first came to Treno. He was busy performing karaoke in the middle of the café but he was so drunk you couldn't really tell what he was singing. This man's name was Jecht. Sitting at the table near Jecht is a man with orange hair, Glasses, and wearing an all-white suite, he's studying the other fighters, likely gauging which ones are the most threat. His name was Kyosuke Kagami. To his left was a girl with pink hair dressed in a white school girl's outfit eating some Strawberry Daifukus. Her name was Athena Asamiya. Not quite sitting at the table but instead meditating on the ground was a man with messy black hair and tannish skin. He wore a black sleeveless shirt, and black pants. His name was Kouma Kishima. The last team member was an impossibly tall doctor towering over everyone else in the room, even Sagat. The man was trying his hardest to sit in a chair but you couldn't help but notice that it was uncomfortable for him. Well you could tell if you were good at reading body language without seeing someone's face as this doctor had the clever disguise of placing a paper bag over his head with a single hole in it for him to see. This team was registered under the name Masamune.

The last team rock took personal interest in. this is the team sponsored by his Uncle Kain, and Kain spared no expense in finding fighters. Quite obviously the leader of this team was Grant, Kain's mysterious body guard. The man could hit like a truck. Rock still remembered his encounter with Grant, and still didn't like the idea that ultimately he would have to go toe to toe with that giant. Besides him Kain had employed the help of another mysterious man who did business with Rock's father. He wore all black, and had black hair with the top being dyed blond, His name Ryuji Yamazaki. Kain also took the liberty of hiring Hotaru's brother Gato; he was a fierce fighter and seemed to care little about others. The last two members were a mystery to team Iron Tagger. Their names were Venom and Zato-1 all that could be said about them was that they were powerful, and had strange powers. Together this team was called the Marked of Kain.

These where considered the major players in this tournament. The rest of them weren't even worth the time mentioning. Well there is still one worth mentioning. As the team waited at their table a man busted into the building knocking the doors open, dressed in all kinds of bling. He had a diamond incrusted pimp's hat, and white tiger fur coat. From his neck was a gold necklace with jewel encrusted letters BB. The man had shiny sunglasses and held a scepter with a ruby on the tip. He looked towards team Iron Tagger smiling. His teeth had a grill which with gold and diamonds spelled "Death Watch". The Baron strutted in the room closing in on the team, and behind him came four individuals' in large black cloaks, each of their identities hidden to the world, only the Baron knowing them. He stops right behind Arcuied, and smiles.

Baron: "my my, look what we got here. You're the five who shut that Henry right up. Great show, great show, but that was just a small fry, The Baron could have took that sucker with both hands tied behind his back. When you're ready to graduate from fighting babies to fighting real men, call me. "

He drops his number on Arcuied lap and begins to walk away. Angered she stands up tears the note and stands defiant of the Baron.

Arcuied: "who do you think you are. I think it's time someone put your ego in its place."

Baron: "you want to fight the Baron? Well bring it!"
