Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the final post for this year. I was contemplating not putting this one up until next year but then I figured out I may not post it at all... So here you go, read and enjoy. Rather short message huh?

"The hell kind of crazy dream is this?!" A voice yelled as he took in the snowy landscape that surrounded him. One minute he was fast asleep and the next bam! He woke up here in the middle of nowhere. And why was something telling him to call himself 'Berserker' and what the hell is a Holy Grail? "Senpai! Naoto! Rise! Anyone there!?"
"Stop yelling and are you Berserker?" Looking down, he noticed a little girl in a white dress with a very similar color for her hair. Her red eyes looking at him in wonder as she took in his appearance.
He was a young man, his hair bleached blonde with a scar above his left gray eye. A black sweater under a school jacket that hung from his shoulders covered his upper body while black pants and brown shoes covered his lower half. His ears and nose were pierced while a cord with a charm hung around his neck. To a lot of people he would seem scary but to this girl...
"... I did summon Berserker right?" She asked herself as the boy's gray eyes showed no mad intent in them only a confused rage. The boy blinked as he scratched his head in confusion.
"What the hell is a little kid doing out here by herself?" Shaking his head, he took off his jacket and placed on the girl. "There, that should keep you warm!"
"I don't need this!" The girl said before she bought the jacket closer to her, it felt oddly comforting like; a giant was protecting her or something. Deciding she wanted to keep the jacket on for longer, she faked shivered. "Ok, I might but are you, for the last time Berserker?"
"Berserker? Uhh... I guess." The man shrugged while the girl looked on questioningly. "I mean, a voice in my head is saying that but I have no idea what that means."
"It means I summoned an idiot of a Berserker," the girl said brightly as she noticed the command seals forming on her hand. "I am Illyasviel Von Einzbern and your master."
"The hell? I am no one's servant! Besides," the boy lifted Illyasviel onto his back as he began to walk away from where he landed. "I have to get you out of here before you catch a cold. Who the hell leaves a kid out here anyway!?"
"It's training to become a Magus." The girl responded as she tried to find a way down from his back. "And we can't go back until we are finished training."
"I am not leaving a kid out here to freeze, that shit jut ain't right." Seeing that everything looked the same to him, he just walked in a random direction. "I should be thankful this is a dream and not real, I mean Magus? That has to be BS."
-Line Break-
"It's real... It's fucking real..." The boy frowned as he rubbed his temples. Why didn't he believe it in the first place? Personas were real and that was a sort of magic. What confused him even more was all of this Holy Grail junk. Summoning a heroic spirit? Yeah he could buy that, but him, a hero? Guess he becomes a man to become proud of in the future.
The girl and the boy looked at the bloodstained snow that covered the ground and themselves. He didn't really know what happened, one minute he was calm and then, he went crazy and took out some wolves that were going after the girl. Bending down so he could look at the girl better, he noticed that more blood covered her then him. "Alright, I'll believe this magic stuff, but you explain this dream to me again."
"It's not a dream Berserker!" Illyasviel yelled at the man. He believed magic but still thought this was a dream? How silly can her Servant be? Climbing onto his back, she decided to cut her losses as she pointed to another direction. "That way is back to where I live."
"Got it," as they wandered in the general direction where the girl was pointing a question popped into the boy's head. "Hey uh, Illyasviel right? Uh got an easier way to say your name."
"Ilya, is that easier Berserker?"
"Yeah, that is. And don't call me Berserker, call me..."
-Line Break-
"Go get them Berserker!"
"For the last time, stop calling me Berserker!"
The duo where walking around aimlessly as they took in the sight of Fuyuki city, or rather the Servant was walking while the girl got a free ride. The two made an odd duo due to the delinquent looks of the male and the child like look of the girl. Berserker figured this would be an easy day for the two, walk around town, look at the fabric and maybe make another toy for the kid on his back.
She seemed to enjoy the last few he made...
Yet it was never that easy, at the moment the two were running after a blue haired kid wearing a brown uniform. Ilya seemed to think he was a master, yet the male seemed to think otherwise. He just didn't seem to fit the part, somehow.
"Do you two have to follow me!" Shinji shouted as he tried to run from the large male and the girl on his back. He just had to find a master who decided to bring her servant along and he didn't mean heroic servant. The guy just looked like a thug off the street, the girl must be paying him a lot to pretend to be one of the chosen seven servants.
Running to a forest clearing, Shinji turned before clicking his fingers as a beautiful women with long purple hair appeared before the two, the girl was not really interested in her appearing while the male turned his head so he didn't have to look at his servant, a deep blush forming on his cheeks. Seeing that, Shinji smirked as he realized something.
"Ahh I get it," the blue haired boy nodded to himself before pointing to the male. "You can't stand my servant can you? Let me guess, you are repulsed by her looks aren't you?"
"And the hell is that supposed to mean!?" Berserker questioned. What the hell was this guy getting at. It wasn't his fault his servant was rather... Err... Damn, what was a good word that won't make him seem like an idiot?
"You know what I mean! After all you prefer guys don't you?" At those words, Ilya felt her Servant shake in anger as he figured out what the opposing Magus was saying. Jumping off his back, she walked slowly away from her servant as Mad Enhancement kicked in.
"Did you just call me what I think you called me?" Berserker questioned, his voice soft as he lowered his head, Shinji nodded thinking the shaking was due to his opponent's secret being seen. "In that case," the delinquent's head snapped up as he clenched his fists. "Let me show you the pleasures of my fists!"
Charging forward, Berserker slammed his right fist into Shinji's face, the boy falling to the ground in pain before entering the world of the unconscious. Smirking lightly, the delinquent began to walk back to his summoner before feeling something pierce his hand.
"I apologise," the woman said as she adjusted her blindfold slightly as she held her nail like dagger's china in her hand, the end stabbed into Berserker's hand. "But harming my master is not allowed."
"Yeah I get that." Berserker replied calming down slightly before he grabbed the chain and pulled the Servant closer to him. "And I apologise for hitting a girl!" Punching her on the chin, caused Rider to let go of the her weapon as Berserker ripped it out of his hand. He growled in pain before he chucked the weapon away.
As Rider got up, she rushed to her weapon yet the male tackled her instead. With out saying a word he began to punch her face as he dealt as much damage as he could before tossing her away.
'Berserker got lucky.' Ilya thought as she watched the Servant jump over hers and grab her dagger like weapon. 'He only managed to grab her because she was slightly dizzy. But, even with his lack of speed, he should still be able to win.' "Go get her Berserker!" She called out causing the male to stop his attack.
"Ilya! Don't distract..." A sudden kick to the gut caused the male to fall to the ground as his opponent stood over him. Another blush appeared as blood began to drip from his nose due to the closeness of the lady.
"It is time to finish this." As Rider began to take off her blindfold, a sudden pressure on her back caused her to let go before the feeling restricted her movements. Feeling a crushing pain, she looked behind her before she was thrown away,
"Let's go Take-Mikazuchi!" Berserker yelled as a blue aura surrounded him for a few seconds. Standing behind him was a giant black robot with a skeletal print on the front carrying a large club in the shape of a golden lightning bolt. The machine nodded its head as the duo rushed over to where the servant was thrown. Raising its hands, Take-Mikazuchi bought down the weapon to where Rider laid on the ground. The woman rolled away from the club before throwing her dagger at the robot's head. Berserker growled as he grabbed his head in pain, the connection between the two contained a mental bond one that could take him out if he wasn't careful. Perhaps it was time to end this for good.
Walking slowly towards the chain, the male ripped it out of his summons head, ignoring the stab of pain that rushed through his brain before pulling the opponent to him. He blushed as he held her by the top of her dress right near where her breasts were before he punched her into the air. As the woman flew through the air to the highest point she could go, Take-Mikazuchi appeared above her, lightning bolt in hand before tossing it through her body, electrocuting her and causing her to fall, Berserker cracked his fists in anticipation as his summon landed in front of him. As one the two punched forward for a fist bump as Rider landed between the two fists, electricity pumping through her veins before she faded into sparks of purple. The two remaining looked at each other, the human giving his friend a thumbs up before the Persona vanished in a small flash of blue. "The Man's series: Brofist. So how was that Ilya!?" Berserker asked as the girl rushed to him.
"You should have summoned your Persona earlier, you might have won faster Kanji!"
"Yeah well," the now named Kanji shrugged in response. "Didn't want to reveal it too early, dumbass over there might have woken up and said something. What do you want to do with him anyway?"
"I think we should kill him." Ilya stated as the two looked at the still knocked out male. "He might have allies and it would be good training for when we fight Onii-chan."
"Alright I guess. Zio!" Calling out the spell, a single bolt of blue lightning slammed into Shinji's body causing the boy's system to spasm before shutting down completely. "I don't think I agree with killing people, Ilya. Just doesn't seem right to me"
"I know you don't like it, but we have to. We have to make Kiritsugu and Onii-chan pay." When the mad Servant heard of the girl's goal, he disliked it. No, he hated the idea and wanted no part in it. Until he learnt the kid's father left her all alone. No real man should do that to a kid, especially not a father. He had seen that happen before but that kid had a big brother and friends. This one had no one, but him. Not the best choice in a companion but he would make sure that the girl doesn't screw up her life like he did his.
"Yeah I suppose. When we find them, just leave them to me! Fathers should look after kids and not leave them alone." An image of a young girl with a bright smile entered his mind as he remembered playing with her and helping with an art project. Seeing that just increased his drive to help his young friend... Even if she was annoying at times. Placing the girl onto his back once again, Kanji began to walk away from where the fight had started. "So where to?"
"Back to the castle, I think that Servant had something under her blindfold so we need to train you so that doesn't happen again! Besides, Sella and Leysritt want to talk to you about something. It was about you and being afraid of girls!"
"I-I'm not afraid of girls!" As the two walked back, a sibling bickering between the two began, their bond full of joy for the upcoming dark days of the war ahead.
-End-
Berserker Kanji. Honestly, this was fun to do. Kanji is among my favorite characters and I thought it would be interesting and funny to have him as the Servant who knows nothing of what's going on. I thank you all for reading and I wish everyone regardless of beliefs, good holidays and time off. Thank you for reading and please review.
