FATE ZERO PEACE
CHAPTER 01: TRUE VILLAIN
Uryuu is dead.
Or at least he wishes he was dead, considering what has happened to him for the last few hours. Right now, he was laying on the ground with one of his hands missing from his arm, and that is all because of the demon he had summoned before. Not that he is afraid or anything, but he has just witnessed the ultimate cool!
It all started when he found something about summoning demons from going through some dusty old books his ancestors have written and owned before. Being the serial killer and sadist he is, he decided to have fun by summoning a demon to the real world, and he figured he needed some tributes to the said demon as he gathered all the supplies for the ritual.
And when he summons the demon he desires so much, he has a weird feeling that he is going to love the opportunity to see a demon in action. After all, the only things he lived for is murder and killing, and seeing a demon would be able to make him shit his pants. But he was kind of disappointed when the demon did appear after the ritual for summoning was completed.
The demon is a teenager, with abnormal white hair and a slim body, and he scowled as he stepped out of the summoning circle. He wore a white and black stripe shirt and black pants, and one of his arms is holding onto a walking stick to help him stand. The demon looked around the surroundings and remarked, "What the hell is with this shitty place?"
Ryuunosuke Uryuu was excited to introduce himself to the demon and offer him the sacrifice he had for him, but the demon glanced at him and yelled, "Don't tell me this motherfucker brought me to this shit hole, I already met plenty of brats and idiots in my life already!"
Uryuu was somewhat insulted by this, but again, the being before him is the demon he has been searching for, so it wouldn't be polite if he cursed back at him. With that being said, Uryuu introduces himself to the demon. "Hi, I am Ryuunosuke Uryuu, and I am unemployed. I like killing people, especially women and children."
The demon glanced at him, and then glanced at the kid, and then scowled at the self proclaimed killer. "Seems like you are just a shitty villain wannabe," the demon remarked as he approached the killer, "I have enough with people like you, idiots that believe they know what true evil really is…"
Uryuu looked at the scowling demon, and it led him to believe that the demon was unsatisfied by the current moment, so he pointed at the gagged up child who was trying to scream for help, "Hey, mister demon, there is a tribute for you..."
The demon scowled and said, " You think that I want to kill the child? No, all I want to do now is kill some motherfuckers right now, and luckily for me," the demon zooms in his face toward Uryuu, " I got one right here."
Uryuu gulped, because for some reason he had a feeling that the demon was eyeing on him as a prey to kill, not the little child. He tried to talk the demon out of this, "Hey, mister demon, you might just want to kill that child, I mean, I am the one that brings you to this world. And we can do some killing together later on…"
But instead of calming the demon as he had hoped, the demon seems more angry and aggregated by the statement. "So you want to be a villain, huh? You think you are some sort of villain?"
The demon placed his hand right onto the serial killer's head. Uryuu for some reason felt both fear and awe, fear that he may die to the demon and awe that the demon may be doing something cool. He felt the blood from his body is all being redirected to one point, his brain.
"REAL villains don't just kill and hurt random people for getting attention, you shitty loser, and most certainly not by what you do, summoning a 'demon' like me to kill people for you. They get the name Villain because of what they do, by committing TRUE EVIL!" The demon stated, and Uryuu felt something.
His brain is overloaded with the blood and is about to burst and he can't do anything about it. This is so cool, the ultimate sort of cool. He felt something else, his hand being chopped off from his body by the demon. He doesn't know what he did, but the demon is cool.
Blood splatter all over the place, some going onto the demon's head. The demon laughed as the nearly lifeless body of Uryuu collapsed and he turned to face the child.
The child was afraid that the demon would try to kill him by doing what he did to the killer, and closed his eyes as the demon put his hand on his face. He opens it only to find the gagged remover and the demon walking away from his sight. The boy said, "Excuse me, mister, but who are you?"
The demon stopped moving, before answering the child, " I am Caster, brat. Now what do you want?"
" I wanted to thank you," the child said as he bowed down, " Thank you for saving me and defeating that killer."
Caster turned to look at the child and scowled, but it showed no anger. It is just a scowl that shows annoyance toward the little child, and Caster said, "Well Brat, you better called the police. That asshole is still alive, he was just knocked out for the moment. And also, Brat, don't mention me to anyone."
Caster walked out of the house of the serial killer, and he growled as he remembered the situation that he is currently in. He doesn't have a master to support his mana supplies for the Holy Grail War, and he doubts he could find someone who is willing to die should he lose the Holy Grail War… Who is he kidding?
He is the strongest in the place he was from, and he knows that he shouldn't underestimate those he perceived as weak, as he got defeated by him multiple times before. And worrying about his new master being killed? The thought of that made his skin crawl, he was being one of the very type of people he despised. Being nice isn't really his forte.
As Caster walked deeper into the city, he could only think about what he will use the Grail for. The Holy Grail, a device that can grant all wishes and is probably functioned by the other laws, but he couldn't care less about how it works. As long as he can use it to stop what has happened back before he met that damn hero, he would do anything to win the Grail.
God, all that thought he has on his mind in the current moment sickens him. He continued his walk toward the city...
FZP
Around the Tohsaka mansion, there seems to be nothing wrong in visible sight, as least of you are an outsider. But to a magus, the entire place seems like a fortress, due to being reinforced with bound fields and plenty of barriers to keep out enemy masters and servants. Or at least that is what its purpose is, but the Assassin has no trouble navigating his way toward the mansion.
Assassins have hoped from branch to branch at an extremely fast speed that average normal people wouldn't be able to follow him, looking for an opening to kill the enemy master. Or at least he has to make it seem like that is what he is attempting to do, but in reality he needs to catch the attention of other masters and servants so that when he 'dies', then his master and his ally can continue their plan. He never agreed fully to the plan, but then he is willing to do anything just so he can get the Grail to fulfill his wish, so he might as well go along with it.
Assassin spotted a small opening in the bound fields, and he entered the place only to see a man with bright red hair and wearing a black hat drinking wine. Assassin recalled the information he had received from his master, the stoic priest, about how Archer looks and what is likely to be his power. Assassin was about to move further into the manor when he heard a gunshot.
Bang!
May it be instinct, gut reaction, or simply just luck, Assassin duck in time to avoid the bullet from potentially hitting him in the head, and he flipped back up to see Archer grinning at him. "Well, looks like we got a company here," Archer said as he pointed his gun at Assassin's head.
"You bastard," Assassin said as he stood in the spot he was on, being cautious of any potential traps and eyeing Archer with hostility, "How do you know I am here?"
Assassin is trying to buy time for an opportunity for an opening from the gunslinger, it is no good trying to rush into a battle recklessly. Unless he was facing a cape baldy, which in this case the Archer isn't his rival. Archer grinned and said, "I have to fight plenty of enemies back in my life who can blend in extremely easily with the crowd, and sneak into the enemy base to take out key points, so my combat instincts are particularly honed to kill possible threats before they arrive to kill me. Anyways, it is good that we got to talk, because you don't have much time to live anyways."
Assassin frowned at that remark, but he duckled again to find the bullet Archer fired before coming straight back at him. Assassin recognizes the bullet as the one that Archer has fired before, because Archer didn't fire a second one during his speech. The bullet went through a wall, only to come straight back out and struck Assassin's private. "Oops," Archer said as he witnessed that moment, "Wasn't expecting it to hit you there..."
" You Bastard!" Assassin shouted as he drew his katana that was by his side. The only time his private was ever attacked by someone is when he fought the bald dude for the first time, but otherwise no one has ever managed to accomplish that task until now. He does have to admit he did get careless and expected the bullet to stop its tracks upon hitting the wall, however, but this did make him angry.
Assassin leaped to one of the wall, and then to another, and then leap from wall to chair, chair to wall, wall to table, table to wall, wall to chair, chair to door, door to table, etc. etc. in an extremely fast pace as Archer attempts to follow him with his left eye. Assassin smiled as he shouted out, "Now try to catch me! Am I right here!?" Assassin stood by a branch before leaping to another spot of the outside part of the manor, "Or am I here!?"
Archer turned to see Assassin, who had left that spot and went to yet another one. Dust spread all over Archer as Assassin continued to change his position of attack. Assassin said as he laughed at Archer, "What's wrong!? Am I too fast for you!? Maybe you should give up and surrender before I take your head!"
Assassin fed toward Archer, who turned to see him with his gun pointed right at Assassin's head. Assassin realized this, and he ducked as the Archer pulled the trigger. Wary of the fact that the bullets will always follow their target before they hit the target itself, Assassin uses his katana as an attempt to slice the bullet like how people do it in movies.
Having fulfilled that task, Assassin said to Archer, "Hahaha! Now that I can destroy your bullet, I can kill you now!"
But Archer just sighed, and he turned away. Assassin doesn't realize what Archer meant by that move, so he called out to the gunslinger, "Hey, why are you ignoring me!?"
Before Archer can reply, Assassin smelled something, blood. He turned to see both of his legs have been shot with a bullet from Archer's gun, and he realized that while he was slicing the bullet, Archer took that chance as an opportunity to fire two additional bullets and both of which struck Assassin by each of his legs. The wound doesn't cripple his ability to move, but they hurt like hell.
"Of course, while you are taunting me I fire two bullets right onto you. One is for your demise," Archer said as he took out a cigarette and lit it, " and the other one is for dirtying my suit." He smacked away the dust from the black uniform he wore.
Assassin growled, but before Archer could finish him off, Assassin flashes out a creepy smile before dashing toward Archer, who pulled the trigger though he was in complete shock that Assassin had refused to give up.
Bang!
Assassin was shot, and he collapsed onto the ground. Archer looked around and found multiple familiars and a camera watching them, and he shot all of the spy devices down. When Archer is confident that there is no one looking at them, he turns to face the Assassin, who has disappeared from his sight. Archer grabbed the wine glass he left on the table and drank it. "Not bad," Archer remarked as he looked around, trying to spot anything out of the ordinary, "Not bad."
Meanwhile, Assassin was limping out of the Tohsaka Manor and saw that his job of the day was done. He has accomplished his goal, which is to fake his death, and all he has to do at the moment is to go back to the church and recover. Still, when he faces Archer, he is overjoyed that someone can give him a challenge, though he was kind of holding back when he fought Archer. At the end of the war, he will fight Archer again, and if the other servants are as powerful as Archer, he can't contain his excitement.
He looked down and saw three bullets, two on his left leg and one on his right leg, and one more bullet in his private. This will take a while for him to heal, but since he is a servant and has a certain skill that will make recovery easy, this is no big deal. In addition to that, he also refused to give up any sort of injuries until he had the chance to grant his wish upon the Holy Grail to fight that bald hero. He smiled his creepy smile as he thought about that.

The Grail was inhabited by Angra Mainyu, the Avenger of the previous Holy Grail War.
The Einzbern family of the previous Holy Grail War have summoned all of Humanity's evil in an attempt to win the war, but the plan backfired on them when Angra Mainyu was defeated by the Saber class servant. However, this also caused the Grail to become corrupted by the evil, with a huge black pool of darkness residing inside the Grail. However, Angra Mainyu isn't the only resident of the Holy Grail.
There is a faint red dot within the Grail as well, and it converse with the evils of Humanity regarding the Fourth Holy Grail War. "So, Angra Mainyu" The red creature said to the Avenger, "Have you seen what has happened with the summons? I am sure you must be excited that you will return to the world with a huge and exciting cast of servants to welcome you…"
"Please, Foreigner," Angra replied to the red dot, who moved away from the spiraling darkness, " You know I am not satisfied with this lineup, especially the Saber summoned is not the one I hope to be summoned. Regardless of what I think, don't you have a great plan for returning to the World? Last time I checked a human outsmarted you and defeated you…"
"He didn't outsmart me!" The Foreigner Servant whined, "There are multiple factors against me! If it were not for the intervention of one of my victims, and my promise to play by the rules that the world has set for me, his soul would be devoured by me and I would never have to hang out with you!"
"Aww, so you don't want me to keep you company…" Avenger said with a grin on his face, "Anyways, Foreigner, as much as you want revenge on the world that entrapped you and destroyed you, I am the one that has the first dibs on getting out of the Grail when the time comes. Not you, but me, and if I feel like it, I may allow you to be released from this prison."
"Whatever," Foreigner said with his red eyes glaring at the Avenger, "As long as I can get my revenge…" It seems like foreigners have decided to listen and follow what Avenger has planned, but in actuality he is thinking about how to get out of the prison he is in at the current moment.
When the time comes, the only thing left for the world to do is run.
RUN.
