Hi everyone Azza here!

ChaosofTime – Just a bit of a reason behind why he said yes. Had he not known Danzo ran off with Orochimaru he likely wouldn't have said yes, his goal although sounding the same is slightly different due to the way things have panned out for him since Natsu arrived. Armed with knowledge he didn't have before he isn't going to Orochimaru for power alone but for Danzo's location.

As for the Servants basically they are being summoned en masse by the Grail to try and destabilize the world. In Fate/Grand Order these are commonly referred to as singularities however this one is unique since the war itself is unique and countless Servants are emerging as a result.

Anyone can end up with a Servant since they can either choose to be bonded to someone, be tricked into it or be forcibly bonded.

JballinR12 – Horatio Nelson would be a shoe in for Rider or Archer Class and based on History I could quite easily make him a Servant. Winston Churchill I get Caster vibes from, his ability to rally people being a result of subtle magecraft being a potential point to explore so both are really solid ideas!

Shadow465 – Literally didn't plan on adding Guts however I was planning on a Servant battle coming up to give Mordred some shine so it worked out quite well. Hopefully I've done Guts justice in this chapter I've tried to be as faithful as I can to the canon version though obviously I had to change a few things here and there.

As for Ainz I've been watching Overlord's latest season and after the last few episodes he'd easily be Arch Demon Class if not an Archon simply because of how broken he is and I'll definitely consider it.

I do not own Fairy Tail, Naruto or the Nasuverse.

Guts The Black Swordsman

/Mordred's POV/

Mordred was panting slightly as she jumped back from another strike courtesy of Guts and his Dragon Slayer blade.

'When he said his armor granted him the stats of a Berserker he wasn't kidding … he reminds me of Sir Gawain during the day.'

"I can't remember the last time someone was able to stand against my blade without being cleaved in two," Guts said as he rested the flat of the blade over his shoulder. "Even still I want more, show me more of what you can do!"

'Is he sure that he doesn't get the Madness Enhancement from that armor he's certainly acting like a Berserker?'

Gripping the handle of Clarent Mordred braced herself as Guts charged forward and began blocking the overwhelming barrage from the monstrous man. Every blow felt like she was being hit by Rhongomyniad, a memory she would rather not have resurface and yet here she was being relentlessly assaulted by blows that shook her to the very bone.

"You who can withstand the combination of the Berserker Armor and Dragon Slayer show me more!"

'It's like he fights like a primal beast the longer the fight drags on, does he not realize how much power he's casually tossing about!'

Mordred grit her teeth as she blocked another strike and, using all her strength, pushed his sword upward whilst bringing Clarent in for a killing blow as her blade pierced his armor running him through the stomach.

"Got ya!"

To Mordred's shock it was as if Guts hadn't even registered the blow as he brought his sword downward with the same almost maddened expression on his face.

"The hell-!"

Lurching forward she was given little choice but to allow herself to be hit by the cross guard of Guts' sword using the force behind it to pull Clarent free and gain some distance. This however led her to be sent flying as she was sent crashing through piles of destroyed trees and earth that had been uplifted due to their fighting.

Thrusting Clarent into the ground as she rolled Mordred managed to slow her momentum finally coming to a stop as she shakily rose to her feet.

"Such power … Berserker or no that is a dangerous combination, for a Saber that is just not right!"

"Is that all you can do Knight of Rebellion!"

"Tch-!"

"Show me the fabled Arthurian sword Clarent, show me its power!"

"Damn bastard," Mordred growled as she readied her blade. "I'll show him I'm more than just another member of the Round!"

With renewed strength Mordred charged forward with a loud cry and met Guts half way immediately going on the offensive as she hacked and slashed away throwing everything she had into landing another blow.

Her eyes however kept moving towards the wound he had inflicted earlier, why had he not even registered it and continued fighting on as if nothing had happened? There was something more to this man than she knew of that Mordred was certain.

Making several key strikes Mordred managed to drop Guts' guard and stabbed him through his sword arm and just like the first time he didn't even flinch simply continuing to fight as if the blow meant nothing.

"You definitely are good but not good enough little Knight!"

"What-!"

Mordred was shocked as one of Guts' arms fired a blast that sent her flying back as she smashed into the side of a mountainside almost dropping Clarent.

"What the hell … was that," Mordred coughed as she looked at her breastplate which was glowing bright red indicating a massive amount of heat had just made impact with it.

Mordred heard another loud bang and saw Guts fly towards her at high speed, barely managing to rip herself free from the side of the mountain she was shocked when Guts sliced right through it using the force behind his movement to easily rip through the rock and causing a massive landslide.

"What the hell is this guy!"

"I think I've got an idea about this guy Mordred," Natsu said appearing next to her.

"Thank God because this ridiculous level of strength is just beyond confusing!"

"He said that the Berserk Armor granted him all the attributes of a Berserker minus the Madness Enhancement correct, well what if the armor slowly leaks it in over time?"

"It would explain why he's getting crazier and crazier."

"I saw how you ran him through and stabbed him in his dominant arm and yet not once did he even acknowledge it. I can say with certainty that the armor blocks out the pain he receives to allow him to fight beyond his normal limits."

"You're telling me each blow reminded me of Father …"

"Are you sure you don't want my help?"

"Nah I'm just getting warmed up," Mordred replied with a bit of cheer returning to her voice. "Besides I haven't even used 'that' yet either."

"Ah," Natsu replied with a small smile. "Alright then but do try not to get injured too badly, based on the two clashing signatures nearby we'll need to head over to make sure Naruto is okay after this."

"I'll beat this guy down for sure Natsu just watch, my blade won't stop swinging until this guy is six feet under!"

"I'd like to see you try little Knight," Guts said as he emerged from the massive dust cloud with his tattered cloak blowing to the left as he held his massive blade out to the right. "The longer this fight drags on the less I'm inclined to believe you are as strong as you say."

"Not my problem you've got no eye for real talent!"

"TALENT, HAH," Guts roared as the ground cracked beneath his feat. "I'll show you real talent!"

Sliding his left foot backward to steady himself Guts raised his blade above his head as he gripped the handle with both hands, the strange black aura surrounding him once more.

"Here is real talent forged through years of suffering, Hundred Years Tudori Cleaver!"

Bringing his blade down a massive aerial slash attack that stretched as high as the mountain he had previously cut. The attack was also at least four metres in width as it ripped through the earth at high speed setting off an earthquake as Natsu quickly warped both himself and Mordred away using a portal beneath their feet.

Appearing atop of what remained of the cut mountain the two were shocked to see just how far the attack went. The attack had sliced a clean fissure into the earth that went as far as the pair could see as Guts turned his attention toward the pair.

"Running won't save you," Guts growled as he raised his sword again spurring the pair into action.

"Guess you'll be taking my help after all eh Mordred?"

"Shut up idiot," Mordred barked back as Natsu summoned his own blade much to the interest of Mordred though she was quickly forced to restore her focus to the battle at hand.

"Before Guts had a chance to bring his blade down it was intercepted by Natsu's own as he used his own monstrous strength to keep it at bay.

'Shit Mordred wasn't kidding these blows are packing serious weight!'

"That's an interesting sword you have King of Balance, I wonder how it will stack up against mine?"

The ground began to crumble beneath the pair forcing them to break off their clash, as Guts jumped backward he was forced to block a strike from Mordred who came at him from the right hand side.

Natsu immediately moved to his left and was shocked to see Guts simply take the blow through his arm and grab the blade with his bare hand holding it in place.

"Mordred try and cut off his other arm!"

"Easier said than done," Mordred growled as she pushed against Guts' sword with all her strength.

"You'll need a lot more than that," Guts said as his face seemed to show nothing but clear cut insanity as he arched his neck forward and grabbed a strange cord on his arm with his mouth. "Hundred Years Rick Backblast!"

Natsu was shocked as the arm that was holding his sword in place fired a massive round that pierced right through his chest blowing a massive hole through it much to the shock of Mordred as she saw Natsu drop to his knees.

"NATSU!"

'This pain is … what was in that!'

"Father that blast had some kind of anti Demonic properties within it and it has slowed your regenerative process you need to get away!"

"I can't leave Mordred to fight this beast by herself; we should've just rushed him before we let it reach this stage …"

"There is one option left to turn the tide of battle."

"And what is that?"

"Use my power to counter his."

"OF COURSE, the Anti would destroy whatever he put into his rounds and allow me to regenerate Aava you're a genius!"

"I do try when you are faced with life or death situations," Aava replied as Natsu began to channel Aava's power to the affected cells.

Meanwhile Mordred simply looked at Natsu who was kneeling limply before Guts and felt something stir within her. Though he hadn't been her Master for long Natsu was probably the kindest letting her use his name, buying her clothes and treating her like a friend rather than a Servant.

She knew he probably wouldn't die from a wound like that but even so he was essentially missing his chest and seeing something like that made something click within her as Clarent began to glow red.

"You bastard … I'll cut you down!"

Guts was forced to dodge Mordred by rolling out of the way unconsciously letting go of Natsu's blade as it was ripped free from his arm. Mordred roared as she rushed Guts who met her blade with his own.

"Where did this strength come from!"

"You think you can just harm my Master and get away with it!"

Guts was shocked as Mordred began to smash against his guard like a hammer sending sparks flying and pushing him into the ground slightly due to the force. Eventually Guts was forced onto one knee but Mordred continued to hammer away, her rage clearly evident as she simply smashed away without any grace resembling that of a Knight.

"Now this is a fight … FINALLY!"

Guts raised his free hand and punched Mordred right in the helmet knocking her back as she skidded along the ground. The punch had left a rather large dent in the helmet forcing her to remove it revealing her face which was bloodied and her eyes bloodshot red.

'What a powerful punch if I get hit by another one in the head it'd knock me out clean!'

Guts rose from the small crater with a grin as blood began to drip from his mouth as he held his blade out to the side before charging forward. Swinging upward Mordred leant back and dodged the attack and brought Clarent upward in an attempt to slice his arm off.

Guts twirled his blade in his hand hitting her in the head with the flat of the blade and forcing her to fend it off using her blade allowing Guts to attempt to punch her again. Mordred jumped back to avoid the blow only to block another strike and feel her previous anger begin to resurface as she skidded to a stop next to Natsu who was still limp in an almost trance like state.

Rushing forward Mordred watched as Guts brought his blade downward, jumping to the right at the last moment she went to stab him in the head only to slice his ear off and be sent flying backward thanks to a blow to the stomach area.

"Darn," Mordred growled as she felt the armor pushing up against her stomach with it having been dented from the blow. "Thank God it fixes itself over time …"

Mordred suddenly found herself narrowly dodging Guts' blade, the look on his face clearly showed he had snapped no doubt thanks to the blow she landed on him. As she dodged the attack Mordred tried to slash Guts across the chest but found he had caught Clarent by the blade with his free hand allowing it to cut into his flesh in exchange for holding her in place.

'Shit!'

"Die."

Mordred could see the sword coming in slow motion as it veered towards her head from her right, letting go of her blade would ensure defeat but refusing to let go would result in her death. The situation had shifted quite dramatically.

As the blade inched closer a hand appeared in front of it and caught it firmly holding it in place, her eyes traced the hand back to Natsu who had moved to her side and was now using a strange power to hold it back.

"Impossible, not only was your chest blown out but I used an anti Demon salvo!"

"If it had been anyone else or even me a month ago it would've worked," Natsu replied as he slowly turned to face Guts whose shock increased as he took in Natsu's appearance. "But with this power the regular laws no longer apply."

Mordred was also shocked as she looked at Natsu's face; his eyes had gone a cyan blue colour with matching markings appearing across his face along with patches of black scales. A strange cyan blue aura mixed with a sickly green colour was emanating from his body and his hair had a slight tinge of the same cyan blue in it and appeared slightly wilder than usual.

"The power of the Apocalypse Dragon, the power that once struck fear into the very Gods themselves now bares its fangs toward you; I wonder how you will respond?"

"Be careful Father we haven't really had much of a chance to practice with this yet," Aava warned prompting Natsu to mentally nod.

"I understand Aava but it appears I'm stuck using it since I am still repairing the cells in my chest from Guts' blast."

"As soon as it is done you should switch back to your regular magic we don't know what prolonged use without training could do to you."

"Agreed," Natsu replied as Guts ripped his blade free from Natsu's grip and released Mordred's taking a few steps back before assuming a new stance.

"Are you … alright?"

"I'm fine Mordred but you don't look too well," Natsu replied motioning to her head.

"His blows have gotten even stronger pretty soon he could probably punch through all but solid diamond."

"Then we should end this soon, I am using a power I am yet to fully understand so I can't remain like this for long so we should make good use of it."

"If that is the case then go for that damn Berserker Armor of his, crack that and it could give us the win," Mordred said as she turned her attention back to Guts who was breathing rather heavily as he raised his blade above his head once again.

"Hundred Years Tudori Cleaver!"

"Not again," Mordred shouted only to see Natsu rush toward the attack as a strange blue energy extended off of his arms in the form of blades.

"Apocalypse Dragon King's Calamity Scythe!"

Coming to a stop in front of the massive attack by making a slicing motion with the two blades on his arms a large X shaped attack met Guts' own attack causing it to veer off in two separate directions, halving its size and power by slicing it in half.

"You stopped my Tudori …"

"That I did," Natsu mused as he looked at the scythes on his arm fade away. "But whatever was in it was strong enough that it wasn't destroyed on impact with Anti, or perhaps I simply have yet to fully understand how to implement it?"

"I can't believe you managed to stop that attack that was so awesome!"

"Well thanks Mordred I do try," Natsu replied with a grin before dodging Guts who had charged him in an attempt to cleave him in two.

Mordred quickly joined the fray as she blocked Guts' strikes whilst Natsu began landing blows on Guts who still didn't seem hurt in the slightest as he continued to attack without pause.

Swinging his blade around horizontally Mordred blocked the strike and slid back slightly as Natsu landed a blow to his head sending him flying only for Guts to impale his blade into the earth to halt his momentum.

Looking up Natsu saw that there was blood coming from his eyes, nose and remaining ear however yet again it was clear he either didn't notice or didn't care enough to address it in any way as he simply charged the pair again bringing his blade down on Mordred who parried with Clarent.

With his other hand he went to punch her but Natsu met his fist with his own blowing the two back due to the force and allowing Mordred to press the attack.

"This time for sure," Mordred cried as she jumped above Guts and ran Guts through the chest just as the pair hit the ground.

"I won't stop …"

"Wha-!"

"GraAAAGGHHH!"

Guts began to lift himself up through the sword and went to head butt Mordred who was forced to rip her sword free and jump backward as the now enraged Guts began screaming like a madman as he rushed her, dragging his blade along the ground as he ran.

Swinging his sword wildly Mordred focused primarily on dodging rather than blocking as each strike cracked the earth beneath them, Guts continued to scream with a mixture of spit and blood flying from his mouth depicting him as more beast than man.

Bringing his blade around to perform a vertical slash Natsu appeared above landing on his wrist which forced him to release the blade rendering him unarmed.

"Good job Natsu!"

"ARGHHHH!"

Natsu was caught off guard as he received a powerful blow to the ribs and smashed into the ground with a follow up blow smashing his head into the earth as he felt Guts leap on top of him.

"Oh no you don't," Mordred growled as she swung Clarent with all her might slicing one of Guts' arms clean off revealing it to be mechanical in nature. "A mechanical arm!"

The loss of an arm didn't seem to affect Guts in the slightest however as he used the bleeding stump to land blow after blow to Natsu as the two rolled around punching each other relentlessly.

"Mordred cut his head off he's lost it," Natsu ground out in between punches and Mordred tried to do exactly that only to have Natsu thrown at her by the enraged Guts.

Natsu didn't even have time to get to his feet as Guts kicked him off Mordred sending him flying backward granting him but a moment to recover as he launched himself forward reforming the scythes on his arms in an attempt to end Guts immediately.

When Natsu was inches away from reaching Guts the scythes vanished and his form returned to normal prompting him to duck under a blow as he ignited his fists with black flame.

"Fire Gravity Dragon Monarch's Reverberating Demolition Fist!"

Striking Guts in the chest and pushing as much Crash Magic as he could into the blow as Mordred's blade burst through the front of his chest just as his armor began to show hundreds of cracks and exploded in a shower of metal.

"MY … ARmor …"

Guts dropped to his knees as Mordred ripped Clarent out of him as Natsu pushed him onto his back watching as the man returned to his senses.

"What … what happened to me ... why …?"

"It was your armor," Natsu replied simply as he wiped some blood from his face. "You weren't aware of the side effects most likely because you never remembered what happened when a fight in that armor dragged on for too long."

"What …"

"The longer the fight went on the more and more you descended into madness, not only that you were taking crippling blows and shrugging them off like a real Berserker," Mordred added as Guts looked up to the sky and watched the dark clouds with a grim look in his eye.

"It seems that no matter how many chances I'm given, Fate always finds a way to break my sanity again and again …"

"I wouldn't be too hard on yourself it isn't like you knew the armor would do that," Natsu sighed as he sat down next to Guts who began to cough violently as he spat out several globs of blood.

"Either way it no longer matters," Guts sighed. "What's done is done and the two of you have bested me. Tell me though where is my sword?"

"It's over there," Mordred replied pointing to Dragon Slayer that was implaed into the earth several metres away.

"Could I have my blade please … if I am to return to the Throne I would like to die with a blade in my hand?"

Mordred nodded silently as she went and pulled Dragon Slayer from the ground shocked at how heavy it was as she handed it to Guts who sighed as he gripped the handle tightly and began to get up.

"Knight of Treachery … King of Balance, allow me to impart one lesson to you both before we settle things …"

Natsu and Mordred watched as Guts staggered several metres and turned around to face them as he rose to his full height.

"I know both of your stories so I believe these words will find meaning to you both, the words of a man who has found and lost his purpose countless times throughout his life."

"Let us hear them, Black Swordsman," Mordred replied as Guts wiped some of the blood from his eye.

"I was born with the scent of death having been born from the corpse of my Mother who had been lynched I have gone through life enduring nothing but pain and hardship with little respite. If I were to wish upon the Holy Grail there is but one thing I would wish for."

"And what is that?"

"To end the cycle."

Natsu and Mordred were shocked at this revelation unsure of how to respond when Guts shook his head and continued speaking.

"War leads to many things including revealing mankind for what it truly is, a primal and blood lusted species that desires nothing more than to perform the most basic instincts of fighting, killing and breeding."

"But what's that got to do with-!"

"But the Holy Grail War is much worse!"

"What!"

"We who have been etched into the annals of history, suffered and slaved through life bearing insurmountable weight upon our backs are not even granted reprieve, unable to truly die," Guts said with grit teeth. "We are forced to fight at the beck and call of others in a sick game to gain a wish; it is a system that interferes with the very fabric of normality that spits in the face of everything I ever stood for!"

"I'm guessing you mean the wish part right," Natsu asked as Guts nodded.

"I suffered through the horrors of man, beast and Demon but how do I know that those events were meant to even occur, what if those events were the result of someone changing their own past using a wish upon the Grail?"

"That's actually a fair point," Natsu conceded as Mordred pondered Guts' words.

"Even if you force back what was lost, it still won't be the way it was," Guts said with a tinge of sadness to his voice. "Our past, our experiences and our stories do not simply define us but the world around us as a whole. The Holy Grail system spits in the face of these truths and must be destroyed, that will be my desire so long as I am a Servant!"

"So that is what drives you as a Servant," Mordred murmured as she clenched her blade with both hands. "Then show me the resolve of your words Guts, Swordsman of Black!"

"This will be my final attack, I may be missing an arm but I've been in worse spots," Guts replied as he suddenly let loose a powerful black aura. "Try and stop my Noble Phantasm Knight of Rebellion that is if you can!"

"This attack is going to be far stronger than his Tudori Cleaver I can already feel it," Natsu said to Mordred softly. "Are you sure you can match this?"

"I will simply match it with my own Noble Phantasm, to deny someone who has resolved themselves the way he has would be nothing short of disgraceful. How could I face Father if I could not even keep my honour as a Knight!"

Natsu simply nodded and stepped away from Mordred as she became surrounded in a bright red aura that travelled to her blade.

"Prepare yourself Black Swordsman for this is the wicked blade that shall destroy my Father, try to match its might if you can!"

"I'll blow it away along with your desires Knight of Rebellion," Guts cried as he raised his blade high above his head as power began to condense within it.

Mordred also raised her blade however it had begun to change from the previously beautiful silver sword into one that looked almost Demonic in nature with a blood like radiance appearing around its form as red lightning began to crackle around her.

"Dragon Slayer: Oath To Tear Through Unending Suffering!"

"Clarent Blood Arthur: Rebellion Against My Beautiful Father!"

Both Guts and Mordred fired massive blasts from their blades that immediately blinded Natsu as the two attacks clashed. All earth in between the two had been completely torn up leaving nothing behind as the two attacks struggled for dominance.

Mordred could feel herself being pushed back by Guts' attack as she grit her teeth, the pain of using her Noble Phantasm quickly spreading throughout her body and causing her to cough up blood.

"I …refuse to lose to anyone … not until I defeat Father," Mordred said through grit teeth as she dug her heels in and used all her strength to push back against Guts who was also coughing up blood but was able to channel more power into his attack which slowly began to chip away at Mordred's attack pushing it back slightly.

"No …"

Feeling a hand on her shoulder Mordred turned to see Natsu with a small smile on his face as she felt more power begin to enter her system.

"I'm your Master so it'd be pretty bad if I didn't back you up now, let's do this together Mordred."

"Natsu," Mordred said almost breathlessly as she felt the pain recede to a dull ache. "Yeah let's win this thing!"

"Now show me what you're made of Mordred!"

"I plan on it," Mordred cried as she let out a shout of defiance as her crimson attack began pushing back Guts' own much to his surprise.

After several minutes of back and forth Mordred's attack finally broke through and Guts found himself facing down a massive blast … and smiled.

"Even with another chance … it seems I won't be returning to you just yet … Casca."

Closing his eyes as Mordred's attack hit its mark Guts was engulfed in a massive explosion that completely vaporised his entire body. Mordred was about to collapse just as Natsu caught her and gave her some support just as Guts' blade landed in front of them without a scratch on it.

"That guy, Guts, he was strong. I swear I won't forget his name, I swear it on my honour as a Knight of the Round!"

Natsu watched as his sword began to fade away in a golden light before letting out a low whistle at the level of destruction the fight had caused.

"This is gonna take some explaining."

"That can wait; we've got to find the brat first don't we?"

"That's a good point Mordred," Natsu replied as he surveyed the battlefield once more before feeling his own wounds as they began to heal. "How are your wounds Mordred?"

"I'll live, wish I had that regeneration ability you do though."

"Yes I've heard that from quite a few people, doesn't work on everything though."

"Yeah I was gonna ask when he blew a hole in your chest why did you go limp like that I thought it would just regenerate?"

"He used a type of ammunition that prevents Demons and Demonic entities from using their regenerative abilities, normally that would be the end for a Demon hit by it but I'm a special case."

"That's right the weird blue aura and stuff with the scales what was that?"

"Tell me did your Father or any of the other members of the Round ever speak about why I have a place on the Throne of Heroes?"

"Supposedly you've saved multiple realities a bunch of times and were charged with holding back the King of Magic from bringing about the end of all things, least that's what Father said when I asked where Merlin was."

"At this point in time I have only saved all of reality once when I stopped my predecessor, the First Hybrid Ahnkseram, along with the Dragon of the Apocalypse who was said to be strong enough to literally consume all creation if left unchecked."

"You stopped something like that! But wait you aren't anywhere close to being that strong, sorry but I'm just telling you what I see. Sure you might be crazy powerful but to stop a Dragon that can eat all of creation I mean there's no way!"

"I was that strong once but lost a large portion of my power in an attempt to sacrifice myself, throwing myself into the realm where all timelines converge into one."

"The Ravine of Time … Merlin spoke about it once," Mordred muttered looking at Natsu in shock. "And you've actually been there?"

"Yes and I was forced to feel my powers being stripped from me and my age regressed to that of a child in mere moments, Achnologia got it worse though in the end."

"What happened to him?"

"He regressed so far he was turned into an egg."

"Wait so the Apocalypse Dragon still lives!"

"Yes," Natsu replied as he activated his Hybrid's Aura as Mordred felt herself being pulled away from her own body.

"What- where are we!"

"This is my mindscape Mordred, I would like you to meet the second Dragon of the Apocalypse and … my third daughter Aava."

Natsu motioned behind her as she slowly turned around and came face to face with Aava who was looking down at her curiously.

"Hello Mordred Pendragon."

"Wh-what is this!"

"Aava bonded to me when she hatched essentially making me her Father however the Council that is comprised of Twelve Gods of Creation and Twelve Devils of Destruction deemed her far too dangerous and unpredictable to simply let loose and so she was sealed within me."

"Well I can understand their point you were an unknown after all."

"And I agree, Father is still suffering from the actions of my previous incarnation and it does pain me no matter how many times he tells me it isn't my fault. Instead of using the knowledge left behind by my predecessor to continue his work I allow Natsu to use it along with my power even if it could have serious consequences."

"What Aava means is we've yet properly train using her power and so anything I do with it is risky. Since you are gonna be with me through this Grail War as my partner you have a right to know what I hold Mordred though I would ask you not share this information with anyone unless they can be trusted."

"Of course I won't share your secret, something like this would ordinarily flip a Grail War on its head but in this case … ah it doesn't matter point is I'll keep your secret Master."

"Good," Natsu said as Mordred blinked and suddenly found herself back in her own body. "Sorry about that it is a bit disorienting I know but you'll get used to it I'm sure."

"Don't make a habit of shoving me into your mind and I'll deal," Mordred replied as the pair both felt another spike in power. "Seems like the two brats are really going at it, wanna watch since you clearly aren't planning on interfering?"

"It would probably be for the best since it would allow me to see where Naruto is at," Natsu replied as he opened a portal and the two walked through leaving behind hectares of destroyed land without a second thought.

Hope you all enjoyed and I'll see you in the next one!
