Saber moved in a flash; she slashed her sword in one of the first enemies that crossed her sword darted past a blade that sought to parry, and sheathed six inches of its point in a leather-guarded midriff.

Saber could feel the bloodlust overcoming her, such was one of the cursed perks of her cursed sword. In a corner of her eye she saw Shielder parry the attack to her left, as she stood by her Master , while Caster used his spells to burn the enemies, the smell of burnt flesh was no stranger to her, since the day of Oblivion she gotten used to the smell, some would say even missed it. Though now is not the time to be remembering the past old days.

Saber parries the next attack and slashes her enemy's as it falls before her. She could feel her blade urging for more. Kill the human, let me taste her soul! Saber shook her head to clear the haze that befall her, she looked upon her Master, a young woman, with an ember like hair, and determined eyes that spoke volumes.

"Good work everyone." Ritsuka smiled, while looking around the Servants.

Saber nodded her head. Saber could see the hope in her young Master eyes, innocent and naive, she used to be like that, once upon a time. Seeing it now after all times, is refreshing.

"Phew. Good Work.'' Mash smiled at the others.

Soldier: You guys, I can't believe you took them on.'' The soldier looked upon them with wide eyes and shining spark in his eyes.

Saber looked upon the battlefield, knowing it in her core, her wandering days were spent in those battles, even now, her instincts are still as sharp as ever before. Saber looked upon her Master who had a troubled look in her eyes, she could see how she flinched every time she heard someone in pain. 'A gentle soul...Her Master is unfortunate indeed , to have me as her Servant, I wonder how long can I resist?' Saber shook her head and walked closer to the Group.

''...We are used to it. Anyway I'm sorry, but could you please explain this from the start? Is it true that Jeanne d'Arc has been resurrected?'

Gudako whispered to Saber, ''Is it possible to get resurrected?''

Saber nodded her head. ''Depends.''

Gudako frowned : '' On what?''

Saber didn't take her eyes off the soldiers, '' Magic and the Users. In my time there was a spell that could resurrect someone back, though only for a short period of time,these reanimations are not permanent and when they wear off, the body disintegrates so it cannot reanimate again. Though some spells are exceptional…''

Cu smirked at Saber, ''It is a wonder that you know so much of magic Saber. I didn't take you for a magic user…?''

Saber narrowed her eyes at him, ''Indeed. I am not Celt. I am a warrior, but to defeat my enemies, I need to know them, be they king or mer, commoner or a mage. Know thy enemy, thus you will know yourself.''

Cu laughed. ''Ha..! You're more than you seems SAber! Interesting.''

Saber ignored the blue Mage, looked upon her master and smiled, her eyes gentle and warm. ``As you can see, there are a lot of ways. But Magic is unpredictable, so be wary.''

Gudako smiled. 'Got it!''

They both turned back to the conversation.

Soldier : Yes. I took part in the siege of Orleans and the ceremony, so I remember it well. Her hair and skin color are different, but there's no question that she's the saint from the past. Hearing that she'd been captured by the English and burned at the stake. We trembled in fury. But-she was resurrected. And through a pack with the devil, no less!''

Saber narrowed her eyes at the story. 'A Devil? Dremora?''

Mash was surprised by what she was hearing. ''What do you mean by devil? Like the skeleton soldiers earlier?''

Saber shook her head '' No, those soldiers were reanimated by a powerful spell, a Mage, or a Necromancer could do that. Perhaps we are dealing with something worse than a mage.'

Gudako was deep in though. 'Could it be…''

Soldier: Not those. At least those we can handle ourselves.

RHARW! The sound of the beast reached their ears. Saber smirked, standing in front of the Master. ''They're here! Master Orders!'

Gudako looked upon the beast , they looked like...dragons? They have dragons here?!

Soldier: Dammit, just as I thought! Here they come, engage! Come on, stand up! Dragons are here! If you don't resist, they'll eat you!

Dr. Roman : Large creatures are shown near you! They move fast!

Mash screamed ''Visual confirmed! But that..it can't be-''

Gudako screamed ''Dragons!?''

Mash nodded her head. ''Yes. That is a subspecies of dragon called wyverns. That is definitely a creature that should not be in 15th Century France!

Saber dashed forward towards her enemy, the bloodlust taking over her. ''Come at thy! Show me your might Beast!'' Saber screamed as she slashed at the body of wyvern, who roared in anger as it flapped its wings and sent a gust of cutting wind towards Saber.

Gudako screamed ''Caster back up Saber! Mash with me!''

Caster laughed, ''Ey, lassie! Yo Saber leave some for me!

Saber ignored the blue mage as she avoided the air attack and got behind the beast , she felt Caster flame hit the beast distract him enough for her to jump on his back and slash at his wings , cutting them loose, before she buried her sword into the neck of the beast.

? : Soldiers, douse yourself with water! You can momentarily defend against their flames!'' A Young woman that was dressed in a warrior attire, a long pole in her arm, as she shouted instructions to the soldier, Gudako could see her long golden hair gently flowing in the wind. She stood strong and confident! As if she was born into the role of a leader.

Soldier: EH?

The unknown woman pointed her gauntlet finger at the soldier. ''You there! Please pick up a weapon and fight! Together with me! Follow me-!'' She shouted at them all before springing toward Saber and Caster.

Mash widened her eyes. ''This is…''

. :Oh, she's a Servant! But her energy is weak, what is she…''

A Strong wind attack from a second beast blasted Saber away as she hit a tree, From the Her Sword Umbra started vibrating so strongly, that she could barely resist, ''I want it! THat pure Soul! Feed it to me! WE NEED To Taste it!Take it! Take the life of the Virgin!''

Saber shakes her head to clear her mind, this woman, no a Servant. Umbra wants her, She will not take the soul of an ally even if it's a Servant. She will not fall into the temptation!.

Caster jumped to her side. ''Oi! Still Alive!? Good! Get ya ass moving lassie!''

Saber snarled ''Do not give me orders Celt!'' She moved back into the battlefield.

Caster sighed ''Why do i feel so unlucky?...Troublesome.''

Saber ignored the new Servant, staying as far away from her as possible, as the battle came to an end.

Mash looked around the battlefield, while Gudako trying to catch her breath, ''I believe that was the last.''

: All right, fine job everyone! I was watching with sweaty palms and sweets in my hand!

Mash narrowed her eyes and said in a stern voice. ''Doctor. Those were the sweets that i got right?

: Huh? What? Is that right? I found them in the Command Room next to the tea, so i thought…

''I got them as a token of gratitude, for when we return from this Order. Needless to say , they weren't' for you but for Senpai, who no doubt fought bravely on the frontlines.''

Dr. Roman : Mash..you've become such a thoughtful person….(gobble,gobble)

I must say those are really tasty sweets. I'm sure Ritsuka will be thrilled too!

Mash looked at Gudako with a stern face ''...Master. When we return to Chaldea, please reserve enough combat resources for one attack. I've registered one more enemy that I'd like to hit with the 'back of my blade'.''

Gudako sweetdroped. She turned towards Saber who was watching the new Servant with intense eyes. 'Saber?...'

Soldier: Imposible, you're-No way! Run! The witch is here!

Mash: Eh, a witch?

Saber narrowed her eyes as she moved closer to her Master side. Keeping eyes on the new Servant who stood there with frown on her face and sad eyes.

Jeanne: ...Um. Thank you very much.

Mash shook her head. '' No that was nothing. Before that, your name-''

Jeanne looked at both Mash and Master, every time her gaze looked in direction of Saber, her eyes always stopped at her blade, before quickly turning back to Master.

''Ruler'' My Servant class is Ruler. My true name is Jeanne d'Arc.''

Saber whisper ''The Holy Virgin.'' Jeanne cheeks turned crimson , as she heard Saber.

Mash looked at Ruler ''Jeanne…d;Arc?

Gudako frowned ''The one that become a witch…''

Ruler shook her head ''We'll talk about that later. It is nothing we should speak of in front of them. Come over here. Please.'' She turned and walked away toward the hill.

Mash : We 've been invited. What shall we do Sempai?

Saber frowned at them both ''We should go Master, Should not keep the lady waiting.''

Gudako nodded her head in agreement with Saber. ''Let's follow her.'

As Saber followed her Master , she could feel this side-effect from the bloodlust, and having a virgin who has such a pure soul, didn't help. She needs to get this edge of her, but how? To ask a Master would be an insult. Shielder was...still a kid...and Cu chulainn….No she fed her soul to Ombre before she even took him to her bed. Before, when she was alive she went to a brothel to get herself under control.

Saber sighed, 'This is going to be a long journey.''

As they walked into the forest, Saber could see her Master gating tired. So she made her statement.

''We should camp. This should be a good spot.'

Cu nodded his head. ''Yea, I'm going to scout ahead''

Saber stopped Caster from walking, ''Wait. Before you go, make a fire.''

Caster looked at Saber ''Huh? Ya don't know how to make a fire yourself!?''

Saber put her hand on his shoulder. ''Make. A, Fire.''

While those two argued about fire, Gudako sat down by a tall tree, she closed her eyes for a moment, until she felt something warm close to her. She opened her eyes and looked into the fire. 'When did…?''

Jeanne stood close by with Mash by her side, while Saber was sitting at the other end of the fire, sharpening her sword.

Jeanne :First, Please tell me your names? '

Mash Nodded her head. ''Understood. My individual name is Mash Kyrielight, This is Ritsuka Fujimaru. My Master. Saber is-''

Saber interrupted Mash, without looking from her sword she asked Ruler. ''No need, Shielder. She knows who I am. There is no need for introduction now is there Rular?''

Ruler looked at Saber, while nodding her head. Rular looked at Gudako. ''Master? So there are Masters even in this Holy Grail War.''

Mash shook her head. ''No, it has nothing to do with the Holy Grail War. I am just a Demi-Servant.''

Ruler : Demi-Servant?

Mash looked away from Ruler and into the fire. ''Not a true Heroic Spirit. Have you heard of us?''

Ruler: Right. We should probably clear this up first.I am indeed a Servant, my class is Ruler. I understand that. But ...a majority of information about holy grail war that should be provided is missing. No not just information. My stats have ranked down as well. Not only have I lost the anti0Servant command spells. I can't even reveal their true names anymore. So Saber, I would have known your true name that is if my stats were not as they are now. Luckily this is my homeland where i was born and raised, if nothing else I still speak the language.''

Saber tuned them all down as they started to talk about history and magecraft. Ruler is indeed one unlucky Servant. Back then she would have helped her in a blink of an eye, but things are different now, to her Jeanne d'Arc is her doom, her temptation, her test.

A test that she feels like she is failing.

Saber could hear footsteps coming closer, it was Ruler.

Ruler looked at Saber back and slowly walked closer to her, the veil feeling she felt every time she came close to this woman, made her confused.

''May I join you Saber?''

Saber nodded her head ''Do as you like.''

Ruler walked by Saber side, while patrolling the woods. ''Saber what is your true name?''

Saber took a few steps away from the woman, ''Why does it matter Ruler? Thy knowing my name won't change anything, Names belong to the living.''

Ruler shook her head : ''You are wrong. Names have a meaning, We are born with them and we die with them, and live on in people's hearts by the name we carry.''

Saber looked at Ruler, her gaze deep and intense. Her hand was shaking, she could smell the Holy Saints scents in the winds, it was making her dizzy. Her bloodlust hasn't faded.

Ruler touched her shoulder, ''Saber…?''

Jeanne didn't know what, or how it happen, they both were talking and Saber was looking at her with this look in her eyes, before she could blink, her back was pressed to a tree and her body pinned by Saber weight, one of her hands were pinned to a tree by Saber own, while Saber used her other to hold her chin, and she looked in her eyes, such deep grey eyes, intense like a flame, Jeanne heart started beating so fast, her cheek were burning.

'What….is she doing?'

Saber smirked at Ruler, enjoying her touch. ''Holly Virgin, head thy advice, thy are pure soul, marked by a god. Thy faith is beyond my understanding. For i am a sinner, who does not deserve thy affections. You ask thy for a name? For thy I shall answer, o, holy Virgin. For I am Umbra. I am Runa Fairchild. I wield the cursed blade of the Underworld. The Umbra Blade. Thy should be wary. For Umbra desire thy soul.''

Saber leg go of Jeanne, '' Know of me Holy Virgin, for I will come for thy, such is my fate. Once Umbra felt thy soul, thy belong to me.''

Saber walked away, leaving behind shocked Ruler.
