Hello everyone hope you like this one-shot sorry if it's to short. Please no flames.
The Seventh Heaven
"WHY ME?!" Screamed Waver as he held onto his servant, Rider – or otherwise known as Alexander the Great – for dear life. As Riders chariot soared through the skies, dodging the deadly stream of bullets fired by a female servant. A servant that was determined to be archer.
Waver, thinking back to how this situation started. A little after his servant had stolen from a bookshop, they were heading back to the old couple's house. Waver had hypnotized them earlier to make them think that he was related as to use their house as a base during the Holy Grail Wars.
Few Minutes Earlier
Waver sighed, after when Rider made his comment on how little he conquered in life after seeing the world map compared to his territory. Glancing back at his command seals, Waver had decided to not use them to make Rider listen to him, sighed again. Suddenly – he felt a strike to the back of the head. He grabbed the back of his head and look towards Rider. Rider had a book in his hand that was now closed – something that was the likely cause of the strike. With a small smile in his face, Rider spoke "Pay attention boy~ Looks like we have some company".
After hearing the word company, Waver opened his eyes immediately, eyes darting around looking for the intruders. Turning to his right, two figures appeared – one a small boy, no more than sixteen years of age, the other being a small girl in a kimono and a rather strange hat. The girl was of interest, her hair dark black that touched the floor and her eyes glowed a crimson red. The boy on the other hand wore a red flannel with a black shirt underneath as well as jeans and sneakers – rather ordinary. His eyes and hair was brown but his face was lack luster like a mannequin. If it wasn't for the fact that he blinked, Waver would have thought of him as such.
Waver turned his attention back to the girl. She had a small smirk on her face, her gaze focusing on Rider. "Woah, what do we have here? Two boys out having fun? When we took a walk, I was not expecting to cross paths with another servant". The girl remarked. Wavers eyes widened as he realized that the small girl was a servant - but he had no idea of what kind of hero she was. He took in her appearance, and came to the conclusion that she must be some Asian dynasty legend, one that his own history books would fail to mention. He was worried that in his preparation for the Holy Grail Wars, he studied on all of the heroes from all backgrounds but failed to study on legendary spirits. Waver kicked himself for failing to make that note and knew that this night was going to be a nightmare. It wasn't enough o have Rider steal some books, but now to have some foreign rival servant come upon them so soon. Waver shook his head and recalled back to the situation as Rider took a defensive stance.
"Is that so? Both me and my master just came back from a small conquest. It would be interesting to see how things change since my time. I am Alexander the Great, the King of conquest and have been called upon this war as a rider servant. And who am I addressing…." His voice trailed off as he giddily asked, tipping his hand towards the girl. Waver turned towards his servant and immediately screamed "RIDER! WHAT THE HELL DON'T TELL YOUR IDENTITY TO THEM!" Waver, panicked at the very thought. Once you know the heroes true identity you know of their legend and their weaknesses. They transcend the times and follow them to the Holy Grail Wars. Rider being extremely well known, makes it extremely easy to defeat him – not to mention that he just flat out told them really causes a major dilemas for this war. Waver began to have second doubts about calling forth his servant to fight this war. Ryder scratched his head and turned towards his master, "I merely am talking to them, no need to not be civilized. I would like to inquire if they would join my army" an innocent voice defended the previous comment. Before Waver could reply, the enemy servant spoke, "Oh, the king the of Conquest – the man who once conquered the world! I shall return the favor – I am Nobunaga Oda. I am the archer servant of this war. Pleasure to met you Alexander" She mused.
The newly revealed archer servant smiled. Wavers heart sank in fear and confusion. While though he did not know many eastern heroes, he was familiar with Nobunaga Oda – the demon king of the seventh heaven. Nobunaga Oda was a famous tactics expert and had conquered almost all of Japan if it weren't for Honno-ji. One of the famous strategies used by the servant was the three lines of fire protocol – that she had deployed at the battle of Nagashino. This was done to decimate the cavalry of the Takeda Army. To see this infamous demon king before him who had used such deadly military strategies and was feared during his era, to be in the form of a little girl questioned the historians. This little girl being the demon king made Waver all the more fearful of this servant – if such a tiny girl could kill as many as the king has done, then she would be a force to be reckon with. He was surprised. His hand hugged his chin "Oh you're the infamous demon king? I must admit I was not expecting someone with your infamy to be a small little child such as yourself – no disrespect of course". Rider gasped at what Waver just said and turned towards the servant – he wondered if it were not too late to leave. The archers eye twitched with the corner of her mouth, a rage brewed within her that was about to surface. The master, grabbed the bridge of his nose and shook his head.
Suddenly in a flash of light, Archers appearance changed from a small feeble girl in a kimono to that of a dark kingly figure. Her clothes morphed into a black pant suit embellished with bronze armored boots and epaulets. A Crimson red cowl kneck cape flapped behind her along with her black hair. A Golden sunbeam crown garnished her head with a military cap underneath. In her hands she held a staff of gold finished with the same crimson red silk ribbon. Now smirking ' "Whose a little girl now?" in a huffy tone she snorted out to the servant and Waver. Wavers mouth gasped in the sudden transformation, Ryder shook off his surprise and replied "My my, what a lovely trick you just displayed. Either that is a personal skill or that is a link to one of your noble phantasms. I mean no offense of course, I was just surprised. The Holy Grail bestowed knowledge that you were a man and not a child – let alone female" – Rider remarked in a calm but firm voice.
The Archer tilted her head to the side "Well that is just how history goes. Just like my betrayal, nothing you can do. You came from a conquest, what if I may ask did you conquer?" her voice was sharp and sarcastic.
Rider responded, a dialogue forming "Ah! I took some books to learn about my own history in the modern day and to see how big my territory was. But enough of these trivial matters, tell me Archer. Are you interested in a proposal that I have?" Her smile grew to a sneer, showing off sharp white teeth – through gritted teeth she answer " what is this request of yours king of conquest?" From what Waver could tell of the master of this servant, he could only see that the master kept his eyes closed and sighed a lot. He heard a faint mumble "don't encourage her interest". Wavers concern grew as the master looked as if he had known. If Nobunaga Oda is anything like his own servant, than a war will break in any moment. Rider not paying attention to any of the tension, spread would like to ask youed his arms wide open and laughed "Wonderful!" he exclaimed. "I would like to ask you Archer to forfeit your claim on the Holy Grail and join my noble army – such a technical tactician such as yourself would be a fantastic edition! This war will be over soon with us combined." Waver now once again questioning the sanity of his servant, slowly turned his head towards Archer, who believed Archer would be the most offended in the exchange of proposals. To wavers Surprise, Archer stood with a quizzical pose on r face. Either she was actually considering the proposal or is good at playing the game. After a few moments with her finger tapping away sarcastically, Archers gaze moved towards Rider. "Hmm you do have a good point. And since I do not have an interest just like my master Hakuno over here. I am interested in trying new things, an alliance may be interesting. But I do have a few problems with your proposal." Archer replied with a sweet smile, her teeth flashing her pearly whites. Waver gulped, slowly moved behind his servant to avoid what the first blow would be. Rider confused asked, "Oh what would be the problem with my offer? You yourself have no interest. I see no problem. Explain".
To him his offer was pretty good and Archer seemed to considered it genuinely to him at least. Archers eyes flew open with a burning intensity. She slowly raised her arm, "Well your offer sounds good, the problems is this. The only way for you to obtain the holy grail is to defeat the other six servants. The second problem be that you stole from my homeland and since I am the one who nearly conquered the land so long ago, it is my responsibility to take action against those who steal from it. The final problem being," several rifles materialized in her hands and around her, all pointing at the two men. Rider summoned his chariot, with Waver immediately grabbing ahold of his servant as they mounted, ready to deal with the onslaught. "The final problem being I am always curious, what would I happen if I fight against you? I must oblige my curiosity" and with that she let out a barrage of deadly bullets, all aimed at Rider and Waver.
