3rd POV, about an hour before Tatsumi's death, Mt. Okutama

Archer went on ahead of Lancer and fought Saber. It was a life or death struggle inside a crevice of trees far from the mountain path. Saber was dodging and intercepting a swarm of deadly arrows being fired at him. Archer also shoots 20 arrows at a time with a brief pause between them. For Saber, it probably wasn't an exaggeration to also say that his opponent was a fragment of the ultimate mystery. His special move brought by the servant must be admired as he had used it while even killing the laws of physics.

"I wonder which one is better at shooting at arrows, this mysterious archer or Sir Tristan," mused Saber. "Sir Tristan's bow was larger than this archer. His bow is "bow which hits the target" that displayed even in the middle of the hunting ground, was literally none other than the special move, of that knight who operated his many weapons at will surpassing his bow like it natural." He wondered if Archer would be able to beat Sir Tristan.

"Saber, run away immediately if you feel it's getting dangerous," said his master through telepathy link. "You only just have to draw out Archer." The sky is dyed black. But even then, it was filled with the waves of arrows. It was a torrent of death. It was a heavy rain of steel. Thus, Saber danced in the rain of arrow in the stary night.


Elsa's POV

I was watching the battle with a type of clairvoyance magic called remote viewing magic. And I saw a single girl, who is pretty, sweet and lovely walking in the mountain by herself while humming a tune. I hate to see a girl her age is in this deadly battle. She is just a little girl. She looks quite cute and very pure. Very pure that she doesn't seem to know about the dark side of the world. Was this child who was the embodiment of loveliness to a certain extent, possibly could be a participant in the mutual killing?

"I found you." I heard a sweet voice aimed at me. It seems like I've been found out. No way. How did she do that? And when did she get behind me?! "You're Archer's Master, right?" She's certainly a master! I need to escape. Wait. Why can't I move my body? "Saber and I are going to Vergil's place but you've ruined it!" Vergil? Who's that? The girl's expression was gloomy. It colored her lovely face itself with sadness, completely changing it. "Because of you, I'm not able to see him today," the girl said. Inside her eyes, I could see something. "What will you do about it? I know! I'll make you my servant." I can't seem to look away from her eyes. "With this, you've become my servant. Basically, you've been cursed by me," said the girl happily. Then I saw something in the sky. It is shining brightly.


3rd POV

"Fuhahahah! I'll be joining the battle too!" Rider said while sitting on his Noble Phantasm, the solar ship Mesektet. "Ha-ha! That's right, look up at the sky! Grovel on the earth! Prostrate yourself! It'll exemplify my suitable manner as if it has become the advent of the king of kings! In other words, there is no other time to disappear than this present day, as you bastards witness my light!" Rider is standing on the bow of the ship, spreading both his arms being all dramatic, as he looks down on everything.

Saber, Archer, and Lancer who just got there were stunned by it. And Berserker is lurking in the dark. With his master dead, he had decided to join the battle as he would die sooner or later. He doesn't want to find another master because he regards only Tatsumi as is his friend and master. And before he dies, he wants to finish the score with Saber. Berserker, activating his Noble Phantasm, rushed toward Saber. The other two Servants, Lancer and Archer (who is in Spirit form), are engaging with Saber one on one as well as with Berserker. Berserker is pretty much ganged up on and is overwhelmed by all of the Servants attacks, especially Rider's light. The mad beast who had been charging while smashing the dark forest for the sake of executing his goals while taking arrows that apparently belonged to Archer, Lancer's spear, and while receiving Saber's blade, could only sadly burn before the violent rain of light.

The mad beast thought, with the wee bit that remained in his awareness while receiving the light. If, it couldn't fight for the sake of justice, as he thought, his own Hyde who guided his existence as a fragment of his evil thoughts. Certainly, the beast thought in his collapsing brain, of his final moments, although there was a thought that was plain Jekyll which it was originally impossible to have one, it was… if he had regrets, there was one. The Swordsman Heroic Spirit, Saber. Was it enough that he couldn't respond to what the person clads in silver armor said, for he had hoped to give him a one on one battle, until the end? He wanted to try to say to that noble Heroic Spirit, while in front of the tumbling terrifying light, and the other Heroic Spirits, and the heart and body of this crooked creature.

"This is my fight. I don't want you to interfere if you can grant me this!" the beast roared. The nucleus of the mad beast's soul who had already had his rematch at that point with Saber at the start, changed into a feathery body as the invisible sword pierced his heart. He had even lost the means to get prana with his Master's death, while taking Archer's arrows, taking Lancer's lance due to a surprise attack again. Due to his own self-restructuring skill which manifested as the most suitable form for him, and its stamina that had been considerably enhanced due to its particular Mad Enhancement skill, as well as several skills he had obtained due to his miracle drug which was his Noble Phantasm, he could swing his claws at the Heroic Spirits that had changed into a destructive storm while they stopped without dispersing. Boasting highly to a dazzling extent, for the mad beast only endowed with just foolishness, still did not boast of his valor. His final moments. Were the mad beast's barbed claws that had reached out to the sky, trying to prevent the attack? Was it seeking, the moon, as he saw the figure even more on the flying "ship?" Finally. Those barbed claws disappeared into the light.

"Fuhahahaha! You had shown me a great show! Well then, 2 days. I'll give you all 2 days to prepare. Then we will fight at the Bay! If you don't come, I'll personally come to your base to drag you there! Do you hear me?! Saber! Archer! And Lancer!" saying that he went back to his base. "What a powerful Heroic Spirit," said a girl on the rooftop of a high-rise mansion in Suginami District. She was looking at Rider's ship. She had embraced the pathetic young man tightly with these arms with all her strength, as he yelled about justice as he called the mad beast his "friend" without knowing anything about the particulars of the Holy Grail War etc. She had flexibly, embraced him, gently. She rubbed him full of poison. As she matched her lips as they came into contact with his. Gently. Lovingly. She tried to kill, and melt all of his nerves and brain.


At Reiroukan Mansion,

After sending Archer's Master back to her base, Manaka then appears in front of Caster's master. "How do you do? Or, is it nice to meet you, I wonder? Right, Uncle Reiroukan?" She's smiling like a flower in full bloom while he is cowering in fear, and he's wondering how, when did she get in here!? He and Caster had noticed that there was a curse placed on his daughter when she was attacked in the forest. He thinks that there is no way someone could've broken through the barrier, however, if it was Manaka then it would've been possible as she was according to him a monster. He then quickly went to look for Misaya and was praying to be alright.

He then heard, "Please have a long dream." It was the voice of Caster. Caster whispers to Misaya as she sleeps, he then sits on the edge of her bed and gently touches her cheeks and calls out her name. He said her name. It was the name of the girl that was sleeping with shut eyelids. It was the name of the girl who was loved by her parents. It was the girl's name that established her as a noble sacrifice to be offered. But he floated an expression that had a tinge of sorrow, at that moment. He realized that he has already betrayed them before contacting Manaka.

"My master, I have connected to her even more deeply, as you have commanded," Caster stares at Misaya. "Everything in this world is yours. My master, you're a person who's connected to the Root, born being able to control all of creation. I cannot match your radiance; even the gods of the distant past filled with the light of the stars can become real," he bowed once into the empty sky respectfully. Like he was facing his true master that he must serve.

"My master ― Miss Manaka Sajyou."
