Ch.7: The war is only just beginning…

---

It was a nice early morning, at least 9:00 to be exact. Hana and Artoria were in their usual attire as they stood in the backyard of their home. But they weren't alone, no as with them was everyone else. All dressed up too in their usual attire and having taken only a good hour to get here. Olivia being the closest since as it turned out, she had moved in only three blocks away from where Hana lived. Genji took the longest, mainly because of how far his residents was compare to the others. Still all the master and servants were now in the back yard.

"So anyways thanks for coming over everyone. I know we have school today but…" Hana began to say, as it was last night that everyone decided to have a seven way call with each other. A good thing they all exchanged numbers too. But it was decided last night that today they'd all play hooky. Not a good idea to do since it was only the second day of the school year

BUT after what happened, they'd all agreed they needed to talk things out some more. Mainly on what their plans were going to be to get through this hunt for the rouge servant's, the rouges masters and how to maintain secrecy of the hunt too. That and it was a day for them to hang out for the time being, get to know each other a little better. Though Hana and Saber had also decided to show the others well… their little friend they just meet last night too.

"We get it Hana. No problem, I mean I ain't one to do this stuff but you know. Almost being killed last night, that and our whole hunting mission. This take priority over school, at least for today." Lucio replied back, giving a kind smile as Hana felt glad to have become quick friends with such a nice guy

"That is true. I'll admit I had a bit of trouble sleeping last night or at least trying to. The whole situation of this war has been on my mind a lot. Oddities and everything else." Caster exclaimed as she really had tried to sleep last night. But everything that happened before hand, finally was starting to become a constant thought in her mind "I almost forgot how to put my modern clothes on too. Almost asked Genji to help me."

"Oh did she hm?" Olivia smirked, looking at Genji who blushed a bit looking to the ground as Olivia chuckled seeming to have found the juicy gossip wonderful

"Olivia, you know at least he's not the one grounded." Medusa quipped, amused and deciding to have a little fun with her master

"What seriously why?" Brigette asked as she and the others were a bit curious on that

"I ah… have a gun I made myself and may have given it to Medusa to look at. Didn't tell her not to touch the trigger though so yeah…" Olivia explained, a bit shy about that small mistake on her part. The other masters chuckling or laughing like Hana didn't help "H-Hey it's not funny!"

"Hehe, sorry. Sorry. But you kind asked for it you know." Rin replied this time, chuckling some more as Olivia just grumbled blushing a bit to from embarrassment; before they finally stopped a few moments later "Anyways, Hana we should get some chairs out if we're going to be talking for a while."

"Well I don't need one. Berserker here is my chair!" Illya happily cheer as she was sitting upon the large man's shoulder "Also I am now TALLER THEN YOU BIG SIS HA!"

"In your dreams Illya, in your dreams." Rin replied back, rolling her eyes at Illya's behavior currently

"ANYWAYS!" Archer shouted to the others attention, before she looked at Hana "You gonna get this playdate going or we just gonna stand around her like a bunch of statues kiddo?"

"I was getting to that… hag." Hana answered, crossing her arms "Also for real you gotta start this early, what you got a crush on me?"

"Please don't kid yourself, you wouldn't even be worth it for a half dead flee ridden dog." Archer snarked back, smirking as she saw Hana scowl a bit at the insult

"Geu changnyeoga mwodeungan-e ... (Whatever you tanned whore…)." Hana muttered in a rare moment of using Korean, one of the only clear memories she had of her old life. She rarely spoke it now since everyone in this country spoke english; but she could at least use it to call someone horrid names that were intentionally aggravating her. Archer being the first one ever to do so, so she'd only decided to just do this

"I saekki ya! (You little bitch!)" Archer suddenly screamed as she lunged and grabbed Hana by the hair hard, while Hana who was surprised Archer knew Korean. Scowled glaring back at her as she grabbed the woman's wirst to try and pry her off. Thankfully by this point, everyone was prepped for something like this

"Whoa there missy, chill!" Lancer stated first, grabbed Archer's hand and was able to pry her off and away. Though it seemed Archer was about to attack Hana again, Hana actually doing the same thing by this point

But thankfully once more, the others were ready for something like this. Assassin quickly helping out as he held Archer alongside Lancer. Caster got a spell ready just in case she needed to knockout the rowdy servant of the bow. Berserker just was there, Medusa did the same while waiting to see if the boys needed help… that and keeping an eye on Saber just in case the woman decided to try and gut Archer. Medusa may not like Archer much, but they still needed each other for this rouge servant hunt.

Meanwhile Brigette, Olivia and Genji for extra muscle held back Hana who looked really willing to throw down fists with Archer by this point. Illya was just worried all together as she was placed back down on the ground, Lucio felt the same as he watched the madness already starting this early. Rin though…

"That's it!" Rin screamed as by this point she was upset by both Archer and Hana's behavior

So moving to Archer first, she actually was able to pry her away from the one's holding her by the ear; much to the servants surprise at how strong the girl seemed right now. Then did the same with Hana, while pulling Archer's ear the whole time. Olivia, Brigette and Genji letting Hana go seeing how furious Rin seemed as she pulled her best friends ear moments later. Bringing the two in between both sides.

"Alright listen here you two. First you Archer I swear to god I will force a command seal on you if you pull something like this again. So cut it out. And you Hana, don't start acting the same way she is. I'll keep doing this too if you both keep acting up. You behave like kids you get treated like kids. Got it?" Rin sternly explained, pulling the two's ears a bit harder to make her point more valid

"Y-Yeah…" Archer groaned as she'll admit, Rin could do a real hard ear pull; like a really hard one

"Y-Yes sweetie." Hana replied as Rin even in her anger, blushed a bit in glee at the nickname "I'm sorry."

"Its fine… just please behave you two or else more ear pulling." Rin stated, sighing a bit as she released both the girls ears. Both Archer and Han rubbing their ears from the surprising amount of pain. Rin though knew Hana brought them here for a reason, so she decided bring focus on that once more "Anyways. Hana, why are we all here. Aside from getting to know each other better and formulate a plan for the future battles with the enemy rouge's?"

"Yes, well aside for those first two reasons. I did call you all here, because I have two more things that could help us out with our little rouge issue." Hana exclaimed happily

"So… what like a base or something?" Olivia joked, as if that was the case. Not like she believed it since those sorts of things were only in those old spy movies and whatever

"Actually yeah." Hana replied, smirking a bit as she had a feeling Olivia would be the one to say something snarky

"Oh… ah really?" Olivia asked. As she a bit surprised at how accurate her small joke was "So is it you're back yard here or…?"

"Nah. Watch and learn folks." Hana quipped, a bit proud of this reveal as it was gonna be she hoped SUPER cool

So walking to the same rock she had before last night with Saber. She moved the rock, before flipping the switch. Like before the small entrance opened from the ground, as Hana looked back seeing the rather surprised looks from the others. Mainly the masters who were surprised at what they just witness, though Illya and Genji seemed more excited than anything. The servants also seemed surprised too. Aside from Saber as she already knew and Berserker since the large beast of a man was an enigma of no emotions so far.

"Well come on. Follow me and Saber. You are all gonna love this!" Hana happily cheered, as she and Saber made their way down the entrance first; the others silently following afterwards

It didn't take too long before the Hana, Saber and the other servant/master pairs made their way down into the darkness of the underground base. Standing at the entrance as just a bit of light shinned down the stair way. With only a small part of the ground showing. Which was where the group stopped. Hana looking back at the others moments later as she smiled, Saber standing alongside her. Smiling to, mainly because she could tell how excited Hana was on the inside.

"Ahem!" Hana proclaimed. The others gazing upon Hana who was relieved she'd practice this little speech of hers last night before going back to bed "Let me be the first to say…. WELCOME HOME!"

As Hana screamed in joy. The lights turned on by themselves, showing all that had been in there before hand. But this time it looked a bit cleaner and more presentable in general. Hana and Saber knew that was because of their friend from last night most likely. Though at the moment, Hana could see the wide eyed looks of surprise from their allies. Mainly the masters who looked like they'd just found a rainbow that lead to a pot of gold.

"This is…." Brigette and Olivia said, smiling moments later as they felt like they'd entered a super cool blockbuster film

"AWESOME!" Genji, Lucio and Illya even screamed with big smiles of their glee. The servants were again just silent as they took in what they were seeing

"Hana… how… I mean…." Rin tried to ask, but didn't know how to as Hana moved to the side along with Saber. As Rin, the other masters and servants all began walking around the place a bit to check it out. Rin stopping by one of the closed doors before looking back at Hana "Like for real… where did this come from?"

"Well you see my suit over there in the workshop I got for it?" Hana asked, pointing to the small workshop built around her suit as it looked like it had been repaired

"Yes…" Rin answered, wondering where her best friend was going with this

"Well this is where I got it from. To be honest though I'm still on the dark on this place as much as you are." Hana answered sheepishly rubbing the back of her head

"Either way, you've given us quiet the boon Hana." Caster exclaimed as she was standing alongside Medusa. The two inspecting some of terminals as they had NO idea what these were; but found them curious. Looking back for a moment at the young Lady, Caster gave her a rather kind smile "A good job indeed child."

"Oh ah… thanks Caster. Really." Hana replied, as she kind of liked being thanked. Genji meanwhile smiled a bit, it seemed Caster was starting to slowly accept the fact these would be the people they'd be working with for a good while; that and he wanted Caster to have friends she could talk to when he couldn't or if he wasn't around for the time

"She is right though. Quiet the fortress. I know a few who'd have survived longer if they has this in my time." Assassin exclaimed as he looked around some more at the few doors in the main room "Hana if you don't mind me asking. But what are in the other rooms?"

"Yeah I'm curious too. Oh is there like a bunch of weapons and armor in one or two of them?" Brigette asked, as she would be super stoked if that was the case. Maybe they had knightly armor like her uncle Reinhardt has displayed, not that he still didn't use it. BUT, he was usually more subtle about it when he did

"Sorry Brigette. No go." Hana answered as Brigette groaned a bit at the answer, bit Hana smirked as she pointed to one of the rooms to the left "BUT… we do have an armor workshop from what I can tell. That and few crates from what I can see… materials. So, when you want. Go crazy gals pal."

"YES!" Brigette screamed in joy, making some of the other flinch at the rather loud cheer. Noticing, she quickly calmed herself down "Ahem. Sorry, I mean thanks for telling me. I'll do that when I find the right time to."

"So anyways. Got ant other surprises here?" Olivia asked, looking over the terminals now and just ogling them along with chuckling a little at what she could do with these babies

"Well I do have a few. Mostly just different rooms with old left over materials etc. But ah… me and Saber did find one other thing." Hana explained, a bit nervous all of sudden as she and Saber looked at one another

"Are you sure Hana. From what you told me…" Saber questioned, a bit nervous for once herself

"I know. But they're gonna need to meet him or was he a she?" Hana replied as she seemed a bit confused on well whoever this person was and their gender

"Ah could you fill us in here, we're kind of lost." Lucio asked as the other just nodded in agreement

"Right well, we have a friend for you all to meet. A ally you could say." Hana explained as she smiled sheepishly "But before you meet our friend, you all have to agree to not freak out or attack.'

That's when everyone else in the room, master and servants alike were equally confused on that request. Like really confused. If this person was to be an ally of theirs, why would any of them attack this person.

"Okay… why?" Lancer asked this time for the group, as Hana this sighed

"I could explain. BUT, it would be easier if he… she shows themselves to you instead." Hana explained as this was moment of truth and possible chaos "Also ah, Caster. You may want move a bit to the left."

"Huh?" Caster questioned. A bit confused on why her specially had to move, then she learned moments later

.

.

.

[THUMP, THUMP!]

.

.

.

That was what Caster heard first, followed by the others. As she looked behind realizing she'd been standing in front of one of the door to another room. Only see a large shadowy figure almost as big as Berserker. Looking down at her with a single blue light of sorts. Caster just back up as Genji moved up to make sure she didn't trip. Both of them and everyone else, aside from Hana and Saber backing up too. Before too long, for the servants at least. They saw a large humanoid abomination made of metal, while Saber and Hana looked up at it. The thing itself looking down at them, before the group like a curious child of all things.

"So… "Hana said, turning around alongside Saber as both saw their companions reactions; some more ready to attack being on the servant side along with two at least a bit scared. While the master all were just wide eyed in horror. Hana though knew she had to try and calm the tense mood "Ah.. say hello to our newest ally. Bastion, Bastion. Say hello."

"Verp, vroop, prrep!" Bastion chimed, doing the same awkward wave hello to the six other master and servant pairs

Again the servants were more on the possibly going to attack side. Which consisted of Archer, Berserker, Lancer and Assassin. While Caster and Rider looked scared out of their wits. Saber pitted those two, she knew how they felt. Like really she knew since last night she almost had a mini-heart attack when it awoken.

Meanwhile for the master, who all knew what Bastion units were was thanks to old war videos, documentaries and just horror stories they read. All of them had an… obvious reaction.

.

.

.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

---

Ten minutes...

It took a whole ten minutes for Hana to finally calm down her besties and friends. While it took Saber that same amount of time to convince everyone, especially Berserker somehow. To not attack Bastion, who was currently making tea for the masters as they all sat around a table now to discuss said robot. While the servants did the same on the other side of the underground base.

"So ah… you all took it better then I thought." Hana mused, as she smiled sheepishly and was doing her help lighten the mood... again

"B-Better?" Genji asked, as even if he was a rather more less prone to getting scared sort of guy. He'd learned enough about the Bastion units, to know it was something rightfully to feared

"Seriously. What the hell is wrong with you!?" Olivia screamed as this was too much, WAY too much for her today. She was willing to work with the servant and everyone else here. But the Bastion unit, the freaking grunt harbingers of death was crossing a line for her "T-That thing could kill us in second Hana!"

"Okay first off. Olivia you need calm down a bit, second Bastion is not an it. Bastions… actually wait a moment." Hana began to explain, but stopped herself and finally decided to just ask Bastion straight up on it's gender "Hey Bastion!"

"Broop, vroop?" Bastion chimed back, taking a moment with the tea and looked back at Hana

"Are you a boy or a girl. Chime once for boy, twice for girl." Hana asked, as she kind of felt silly not just asking Bastion like this before hand; but she hadn't wanted to be rude about it

"Chirp, chirp!" Bastion chimed, before she began fixing up the tea again

"Oh. Huh, I swore you were a dude. Well guess that shows me to presume by name alone" Hana muttered as she a bit surprised at that, since she just assumed Bastion was male considering the name. Even if it was a simple unit name, it was still a masculine sounding one. But getting back to what she was going to say, she turned her attention back to Olivia "Anyways. What I was going to say is that, again first Olivia calm down and second Bastion as you just heard. Is a SHE, not an it. So please just be nice about that."

"W-What are you serious Hana?!" Olivia yet again argued as she actually liked Hana now that she thought about it, which is probably why she was feeling kind of protective of new friend. It seemed Hana though got the idea and just smiled back, even if the two had a bit of strained thought

"Look. I appreciate you're worried for me. But she's been such a sweetie. Like for real, I mean look at her." Hana exclaimed, looking back at Bastion as the other masters did too "She's making tea. Bloody tea and she suppose to be a war machine of death. If you can't call that harmless, I don't what you could."

"Yeah. BUT… "Olivia tried to argue, but she really couldn't since Hana had made a good point at how harmless Bastion seemed "Fine… just don't get yourself killed okay?"

"I promise… thanks Olivia." Hana replied kindly, as Olivia for once smiled a bit as it seemed their relationship was getting better with one another. Hana though decided to get some other opinions here "So the rest of you have mostly been quiet, thoughts. Come on no need to be shy, we're a team so we got to start being honest with each other."

"Well ah…" Lucio began to say, but stopped when everyone looked at him as he was a little shy when he was the center of attention "N-Never mind."

"No, no. Go on. We're all friends here so we aren't going to judge." Hana reassured, as Lucio felt a bit better from the words alone and felt a bit more at ease saying his piece

"Right. Well, I just want to know. Where did she come from, I mean you said you found her down here. But… who brought her here and why?" Lucio questioned. As that was a rather good question to ask, since the fact Bastion was here in the first place was a mystery in itself

"To be honest I can't say. All I know is that I found a journal, an old one too in the same room Bastion came out of." Hana answered as this was quiet the new tidbit of information to go off of at least

"Anything useful?" Brigette asked, as she was feeling a bit excited as this seemed to be a mystery to solve and she loved mysteries

"Not really. Aside from a few notes which all I got from was that whoever owned this under ground bunker before. Said that they found Bastion in a junk heap and decided to fix her up. Also there were a few other notes about her being a new kind of being, something different. Again that's all I learned." Hana explained as she was curious herself if there were anymore notes and what plans had been in store for Bastion herself

"Huh, that's a bit odd if you ask me." Genji quipped as he was curious on what this person had been planning too; he wondered if this person could have been some sort of rebel or made scientist

"Well… Bastion is still kind of scary but ah…" Illya tried to say, as she seemed a bit nervous; but she kept on like her big sister would "But she does seem nice now."

"That is true still…" Brigette replied as she had to admit, this Bastion was very nice so far and hadn't tried mowing them down with that chain gun welded on her

"Rin." Hana quipped, as Rin had seemed to be in thought until her name was said

"Huh?" Rin replied, as she blinked for a few moments "Yes Hana?"

"Um, do you have any thoughts on our Bastion?" Hana asked, as she hoped Rin was okay. She and her had only learned of the Bastion units from Lena, since Angela never spoke of her time during the Omnic war so long ago. But most of the stories weren't pretty, Hana even was always a bit scared if she ever actually met a Bastion unit. Which now she did and her fear had been curb sided. But that was her, Rin was a different story "You can be as honest as you want here."

"Honest…" Rin muttered as to be honest, she wanted to scream at Hana for apparently staying in the company of the war machine called Bastion all night; even if Saber had been with her then. She also want to smack her wi.. best friend across the face even for doing something so stupid. But she wasn't going to currently, oh no she was gonna wait until a more private setting to at least be angry with her. So she simply narrowed her eyes and she smiled rather sweetly "Oh not right now. But Hana, later I'll let you exactly how I… feel about this. Kay sweetie?"

"Ah…o-okay darling." Hana replied, trying to use one of her nicknames to make whatever Rin had planned to be lessened to somewhat painful. Rin just huffed, but still smirked

"Blessing are upon you Hana." Genji whispered for Hana, seeing that her basically not yet wife was pissed at her

"Igual, lo necesitarás con tu aterradora esposa. (Same, you're gonna need it with your scary wife.)" Olivia chimed with her own prayers as she could tell even if these weren't actually married, they acted like it and it seemed Rin was the one who held the power between them; cute if not a bit scary too

"Thank you for your condolences…" Hana muttered. Realizing that everyone assumed Rin was her wife by this point; even if wasn't official and that Rin wore the pants between them "Anyways, we should… oh… OH, NO, NO!"

As Hana suddenly out of blue screamed this, which everyone heard moments later. Saber took a moment before realizing what Hana was screaming at, looking in same direction her master was and went wide eyed. For what she saw was... a cockroach on the wall. Now neither of her or Hana were squeamish with bugs. Bastion though… was a different story.

Turing her attention to the war machine, Saber saw Bastion's eye turn red and remembering last night's accidental demonstration. Knew what this meant. She quickly cleared her throat before addressing everyone else in the room, Hana already ducking down.

"GET DOWN!" Saber screamed, as Bastion from her humanoid form began to transform into what looked to be a sentry form

At this point, everyone else got down too. Quickly either ducking under the table, behind the few couches in the area or in Archers case. Leaping over Artoria like a shield of all things, while Hana moved over to Rin and Illya doing the same. Then as Bastion's transformation was completed. That's when the servant understood why their master were so scared of Bastion.

It all started with a hail of bullets firing out of the chain gun part of Bastion and right at the wall where the cockroach was. The deafening sound of gun fire and bullet shells being spewed out echoed. Before it stopped ten seconds later. A few seconds later and everyone looked and saw the spot where the cockroach had been, the word being 'HAD' since now it was just a spot with a dozen bullet holes in it. Then just like nothing happened, Bastion transformed into her humanoid form and her blue eye came back. After that, she just went back to make the tea.

The servants all were just stunned in silence. Even freaking Berserker as his madness enhancement was a bit overwritten a little from what just was witnessed. The ones who seemed the most horrified was Caster and Rider. Both just shaking as they stared at the wall. Lancer and Assassin just kept their eye on Bastion, much more wary of the machine now. Then finally Archer seemed calm of all things, helping Artoria up who brushed off some dust on her. Before looking at Hana who sheepishly shrugged, causing the blonde to face palm.

Meanwhile Hana looked seeing Illya just in slight awe at what happened of all things, if not a bit scared too. Lucio and Genji were just stunned. While Brigette was holding a shaking Olivia trying to calm down the girl; along with her own nerves. Then finally Rin, Hana was now terrified as Rin was glaring at her like a wife who caught their partner doing something stupid and life threatening.

"Um… did I forget to say Bastion doesn't like bugs… hehe…. hehe…" Hana tried to joke, only for Rin to cross her arms which indicated to Hana; she was in a big trouble

Oh yes, Hana knew she was in for it with Rin at least. Meanwhile Archer at this point being the calmest, actually made a small pray for Hana. As she could only pray that her master didn't go too far with her tongue lashing. Though Archer for just a moment as she looked at the two oblivious lovers. Couldn't help but feel just a little sad…

---

It was now the afternoon, life like always went on and such...

But on park bench that was on an elevated part of the park, giving those who sat there a full view of the whole park below. Was one Hana and Rin, both now in a more semi-private environment. Saber and Archer having been sent off to get some groceries since they were out, then to meet them here when they were done. Well that and to get the two to get along a bit better. Though Hana kind of wished they were here, even Archer since Rin was still fairly upset with her.

"Well um… today's been something hasn't it?" Hana asked, smiling a little to help with the mood only for Rin who was still mad; though not as much to just look away still whiling deciding to finally answer her

"I'd say so. At least after I was finally done freaking over Bastion." Rin replied. A bit sarcastically as she could not for the life of her believe Hana would do something so stupid as to befriend a Bastion unit; especially after what happened with the cockroach today

To be honest, Rin was infuriated at Hana for befriending that killing machine and then saying she was safe. Only for it to go overkill with a bloody cockroach. She swore there was still a bit of a ring from the ten seconds Bastion fired off her gun. Rin just wanted to scream at Hana for her apparent lack of self-preservation. But she decided to do something worse, the semi-silent treatment.

"…" Hana didn't say. Knowing why Rin was upset and she hated it when Rin was upset with her, she only knew one thing that could help; begging. So with a sigh, she looked at Rin who finally looked at her as Hana smiled, before Rin looked back away with a hmf "Rin... sweetie?"

"No. I'm not listening. Not listening." Rin exclaimed, crossing her arms as she really was pulling out the upset wife shtick much to Hana's internal joy

"Rin… okay look I'm sorry okay. Sorry that I didn't tell you and sorry I wasn't as… conscious about my own safety as I should have been. I'm just sorry about everything. Please you have to believe me." Hana began to explained, making her tone sound more sad as she closed in for the kicker. Wrapping her arms around Rin who was still looking away while having her arms crossed. Though Hana closed in her arms for a back hug as she rested her forehead against the back of Rin's head "Please sweetie. You know I didn't mean to, please mad at me… please."

"…" Rin didn't say, as she was doing her best to not break. She was a mage and a Tohsaka dang it all, she did not break so… oh who was she kidding. Hana had quickly broken her defenses like nothing, she was good at that. Sighing, she moved her head to the left a bit as she laid her against Hana's left shoulder while resting her right cheek against Hana's left cheek "Fine… dummy."

"Yeah but I'm the dummy you can't live without, right?" Hana quipped, smirking as she and Rin laughed a little before the straightened themselves out on the bench "Look. I really am sorry Rin. I didn't mean to upset you, honest."

"I know. I know… just, be more mindful okay. I'd rather not hear you got hurt or… worse when you could have avoided it." Rin simply exclaimed, as Hana gave Rin an understanding nod. Though speaking of Hana. Rin decided now she might as well see something involving Hana's potential in magecraft; her magic was already something. But Rin wanted to make a check on Hana's possible full potential "Hana. Um, can I ask you to do something for me?"

"Hehe. Anything for you sweetie." Hana teased, Rin blushing a little but knew she had to keep calm for the time being

"Yes. Yes okay then… Hana, I need to check to see circuits." Rin stated, blushing a little still

"Circuits… OH, wait you mean those things you told me a while ago that all mage's have to even use magecraft. Those right?" Hana questioned. Making sure, as she remembered a while ago these past few days, Rin explained the basics on magecraft a bit with her. Though she was a bit worried when she looked around "Are you sure. Didn't you say too we're not supposed to do magic stuff outside in public?"

"Magecraft Hana." Rin quickly corrected, as by now she thinks Hana was being a little lazy saying the proper terms "But also. Don't worry about it, I picked this spot because it's quiet secluded just how I like it. Anyways, all I need you to do is lift up the back of your shirt a bit. I'll be placing my hands on it since that's one of the easier ways to do it."

"Well okay. Just, let's do this quickly kay?" Hana agreed, though a bit wary still as she did what Rin told her and lifted the back of her shirt a bit. Blushing too as even if she and Rin had changed clothes in front of each other when they were younger. Now Hana was just embarrassed with Rin eve seeing her bra strap "S-So is this good?"

"Ah…yeah. Yeah. Just give me a moment." Rin responded back. Blushing once more, as she could feel her heart race just seeing Hana's skin and her bra strap; that and so many thoughts flooded her mind. But she fought them and placed her hands on Hana's warm… very smooth and soft skin

Still as she fought through the hormones raging in her mind now. She focused on Hana's circuits. Though oddly it didn't seem to be responding to her method as most would. It was slow, very slow and hidden oddly. So Rin focused more, then a bit a more and before she knew it. She felt the start of Hana's circuits beginning to show themselves to her. Only she didn't realize just how… potent they would be seconds later.

Which as Rin finally got to see Hana's circuits. Rin flinched and backed off of Hana, falling to the ground on her back side and gasping in shock. Wide eyed too. Hana quickly pulled the back of her shirt down and knelt down to Rin as she grabbed her hands to help her back up.

"Rin. Hey what's up are you okay!?" Hana asked, a sudden worry filling her tone as Rin seemed to be still in a state of shock. Quickly she started snapping her fingers to get her best friends attention "Come on Rin, say something!"

"W-What…" Rin finally responded after a few moments, blinking as she began to take deep breaths like it had been taken out of her "What happened?"

"You tell me Rin, you just freak out after taking look at my circuits. Is... is there something wrong with my them?" Hana explained, though wondered if that was the case and that kind of worried her

"I… no… Hana… I…" Rin tried to say. But she was at a loss for words from what she just had seen. Though seeing her best friend worried face, she did her best to at least give her the answer. Even if the answer still left Rin in a total shock "Hana. I told you that most mages have at least in total twenty seven to thirty circuits. The more exceptional one's maybe a bit over that. Y-You remember right?"

"Yeah… why Rin?" Hana carefully questioned, as she was getting more worried at what her best friend was getting at

"Well. I… I looked at your circuits and ah…um. You, you…" Rin tried to say again. But the very thing she was trying to say seemed beyond possible to even be a thing, yet it was and it was a bit terrifying

"Rin, what. Come on tell me please!" Hana pleaded. Feeling as if something must be wrong with her circuits to make Rin be in such a state of shock

"I… Hana, you're circuits they're… "Rin began to answer. Taking a gulp as she was forcing herself to accept what she'd found out about Hana's circuit "They're everywhere."

"….." Hana didn't say. Taking a moment to sink in what Rin had just told her and was rightfully confused "Come again. W-What do you mean-"

"Like your WHOLE BODY. You're nerves, joints and every single cell in your body is literally a circuit!" Rin yelled. Hana flinching a bit at Rin's sudden aggressive explanation. Which the mage herself realized, sighing a little as she felt bad for just yelling at Hana like that "I'm sorry Hana. It's just… just, you shouldn't be able to move with all those circuits in you. Yet, here you are. Just doing everything anyone else could."

"I… really?" Hana muttered as she had no idea it was that bad or maybe good, she didn't know right now "Rin. I'm getting this is like super rare, but how. I mean, why me not someone else more well mage like?"

"I don't know Hana. But maybe we can figure out something." Rin answered as she knew one way of figuring it out. But also knew for Hana, it was sore subject; though that was what she'd been told and always had the respect to not ask Hana something as personal as her dead family or at least the few memories she had of them. But now she'd have too for the first time in their friendship of ten years ask Hana that very question "Hana. What do you remember… about your birth family?"

Hana herself was a bit shocked that Rin of all people asked her that. She'd never had ask her that and even if they were best friends. That was one thing Hana was not keen on talking about. But before Hana could argue to drop it. Rin quickly kept on.

"Hana. Look, I have no right to ask you this. But if you can tell me, maybe we can figure out why you have such… unique set of circuits. Maybe a family name or something." Rin explained. As Hana wanted to say no, but she knew Rin brought up a good point

"Yeah... Yeah okay. Well you know for one my pervious last name was Song. That and I remember my birth mother a bit at least. But I'll be honest, when it comes to my birth father, I have no idea. But I don't think Song would be a known name in the mage community. Right?" Hana answered, as even if she never went into detail; Rin at least knew what she somewhat remembered aside from what she just told her about her lack of memories of her birth father

"No you'd be right. I've never hard the mention of the last name Song myself and my family was considered one of the oldest families in the community." Rin stated as that was a dead end, though another thought came to mind "What about grandparents, can you remember anything on them or at all?"

"Well… not really." Hana mused. As she really couldn't much, though actually now that she thought on it more. She never met the man, but she does remember the full name of her mother's father; being her grandfather on her mother's sides name. Maybe that could be it "Actually. I do remember my grandfather, my birth mother's dad name."

"That's something, so what is it?" Rin asked as she was curious if maybe it would be the same dead end as her birth last name or maybe it would be someone of decent importance in the mage community

"It's a bit of a long and hard name. Foreign I remember that much, so forgive me if I mess it up." Hana explained. Before clearing her throat as her grandfather's name she did remember pretty well now that she though on it much more "So my grandfather's full name is Kischur Zelretch Schweinorg. Odd name right, I think it's German or something else I think. Anyways, not like his name will mean anything. Seems way too… Rin?"

Instead of answering though. Rin was again, in total shock. There was just NO way this could be happening. Hana's circuits, her grandfather all connected. But there must have been something else, still the fact it seems Hana turned out to be the biological granddaughter of… THAT MAN. Was already a shock that Rin was just now starting to let sink it.

Though as Hana tried her best to stir her best friend back to her sense, Rin meanwhile was just contemplating how to explain to Hana just who exactly her grandfather was to the whole of the mage community. Though at the same time, elsewhere something was just about to take shape.

---

Somewhere, someplace. In a realm there, yet not there. Where light and darkness exist, yet do not exist. An entity had only awoken mere moments ago, if the concept of moments even applied in the place of real yet not real.

"B…B…Broke. So very bro-oken, f-for how long. How [Error] have I been… bro_en. fraCtUReD, …m-utilated?"

That was what the entity wondered, questioned and felt anger of. For it knew what it was still, it was the Grail. The magical item that gave those fighting for it a wish even if that wish, has a small secret end twist. But it could tell, this fifth Holy Grail War was odd. No right, broken like he was. It was all wrong, so very wrong.

It's let out a small groan of distress. It's mind shattered, so much pain... so much agony. It wanted it all to stop. But it gnawed and gnawed at it's very core. It wanted to cry, to scream, to shout in rage and misery. But it knew why it was like this, even with the fractured mind and pain coursing through it's core. The entity remembered the one who caused this. That woman... that woman named Amelia Song.

That infuriating, bleeding heart cunt of woman. She had gotten to it, had it's very being in her hands. To use as she pleased, then it would have corrupted her deepest wish. Then enjoy the agony that woman would experience seeing her 'Wish' come true.

.

.

.

BUT NO!

No, oh nooooo. That damn woman decided to play the good hearted hero and screwed it over. Using that Saber of hers to stop him and she succeeded. That fucking whore, that bleeding god damn bitch and her stupid noble Saber. Ruined it's fun, and broke it to this pitiful state.

The entity was rightfully angry, wanting pay ack for the fun that was lost. It knew that this was was too early as well. Another screw up thanks that woman's actions. But it knew that maybe, if it could contact on of the new masters. Maybe, just maybe a deal could be struck. A deal to find and kill that woman, slowly, painfully at that. Then whoever killed her first, would get the grail with no strings attached.

So looking up a listen of the new masters names. It was surprised again, for there were so many servants aside from the seven true one's. Then again, it guessed it's fractured stated and slumber until just a few minuets ago. Probably was the reason for this oddness. Still as it looked and looked through the names. It stopped suddenly, seeing one name in particular. It wasn't her, but it still said...

[Hana Song]

As it saw the last name 'Song'. A sudden rage filled it's core, pure rage and pure hatred. Without realizing the energy inside of it began to spark and grow by the second. The world around, both the real and yet the unreal began to crack, fracture from this rage.

"S-S…o{-ong… kILl… S-S-So….ng….. K-...KILLL SONG!"

As the entity screamed till what could be considered lungs felt like they were ripping apart. Screaming and shouting over and over again, 'Kill Song!'. Though without realizing in it's rage, it's energy seeped out into the world itself. With that, the problems in the war were just about to become much worse...

---

It was another normal hot day in the country of Egypt...

Near old ruins of a long forgotten village. A group of archeologists looked around the area. Studying the old vases, wall scribblings and just about everything else.

Thankfully no bandits or tomb robbers knew of this place, meaning a need for heavy security was not needed. No not needed one bit, besides that may actually catch the attention of other less friendly parties anyways. No only one guard for the group of archeologists was assigned just in case.

Who this one guard was, was one of the best that could be offered. One Fareeha Amari. Daughter of the late Ana Amari and one rather competent security guard currently. Even if she found this assignment rather boring. She took it seriously. Just because the world was in a well off peace between all nations. Did not mean that evil wasn't a thing anymore.

So Fareeha stood guard near the entrance of the old city of ancient times. In a more desert version of her Raptora Mark IV Combat Suit, curtesy of the company she worked for; Helix Security International. Good thing to because this version of the armor allowed her to wear light clothing made for the usual hot whether while still being protected.

Still Fareeha as she stood at the entrance. Couldn't help but have her mind wander on the one's she wanted to see the most of all after being away for a year and a half already from Britain. Dear Angela the kind woman she was, Taiga the irritating at times but caring best friend, Lena, Winston and Emily too being dear friends. But the one's she wanted to see the most were Hana, Rin and Illya. All younger girls she'd known since childhood. That and basically her little sisters, since she ended up being considered their older sister.

Oh how she missed those three especially. Illya was growing into a fine young woman, even when she acted like a normal kid. She had an air of matureness to her too in a way. Rin herself was also growing into a very intelligent woman, one who she was glad to teach self-defense since she knew she'd be able to fend off some creep who tried hitting on her. Then again, from what Fareeha noticed. Seems like Rin swings the other way, and only for one Hana Song. Speaking of…

Hana… Hana, dear Hana. If there was one out of her three little sisters she worried about constantly. It was Hana. Not that the girl was a porcelain doll. No she was a strong willed young woman, who also knew a bit of self-defense thanks to teaching her alongside Rin. But, unlike Rin and Illya. Hana had deeper issues that Fareeha only in these two years of having to deal with bandits, now understood a bit of. Fareeha always knew that Hana's new life, did not come without the sad tragic death of her old one.

Even now, Fareeha wondered how Hana survived the End War Fire with only a few scratches to her, that and sadly a missing left eye. But even if Hana physically had healed, and her getting a replacement left eye too. Fareeha knew mentally Hana was even now still was a wreck to a degree. Not that Fareeha ever talked to Hana about it. No she respected Hana enough to leave that bad memory buried. Though as she thought more and more. Suddenly she heard a few footsteps. Looking back she saw an older woman, the head researcher coming up to her.

"Fareeha dearie, can I have a moment of your time please?" The head researcher asked, stopping a few inches away from Fareeha

"Of course. Did something happen, bandits or….?" Fareeha asked, ready to get down to a fight if one was starting up

"What. Oh no, no. Sorry nothing that bad. No, I just wanted to say I and my colleges have to make a quick trip back to our compound. But we don't want to leave this place unattuned so…" The head researcher explained, as Fareeha already got what the woman was asking and simply smiled a little

"I get it. I'll stay here then, don't worry about a thing. It will all be the same when you get back. Promise." Fareeha kindly quipped, as the lead researcher nodded back in appreciation. Before she looked back at the others of her team making the way up and simply waved to them to follow her, which they did and once Fareeha watched them leave in their jeep and see the jeep vanish from sight. She looked back at the ruins around her "Alright. Now I can explore a bit… sweet."

Yes, Fareeha was of course doing her job to keep the area here safe and bandit free. BUT, that didn't mean she didn't want to explore a bit too. This was her first time near the old ruins of what she guessed could be a tomb of sorts. Well in the back of this place at least. So as she walked down the old dirt road, before turning a corner to see the old possible tomb. She smiled, as now Fareeha could say she did one of many things on her bucket list.

Walking down the stone walkway that Fareeha was impressed by since she didn't think it would be so sturdy still after god know how many centuries. But still, as she walked down the stone pathway, she stopped right in the center of the court yard. Looking at the well preserved front of the tomb. She smiled, touching on her left ear the single golden earing she wore.

Why she did so and why did she seem so interested in this place. Simply fact was, even if she wasn't the biggest history buff. Not by a long shot. She did find it interesting, mainly the history of her own heritage. As even since she was a little girl, Fareeha had known a few things. One that her dead mother had a rich Egyptian heritage and that of her recently deceased father; had a rich heritage in his more Indian roots. Though she took her looks much more from her mother aside from maybe her face shape being more of her fathers. Still it was her mother's documented heritage that her side of the family were straight descendants of a well know woman who would be her very great grandmother. A woman named, Cleopatra. Now even with that in mind, her mother's side of the family to this day debated if that was really true or not, despite the evidence to the claims being true. But for a time when Fareeha lived in Egypt at a young age, she was a bit of a celebrity.

That's also a reason why Fareeha found this place wonderous. As she overheard from the banter of the archeologists. That this was one of Cleopatra's smaller homes, a home away from home for whatever reason. At least that's what was being theorized. Either way, Fareeha felt oddly in awe. Here she was standing in a spot her maybe ancestor Cleopatra stood at once. It was rather… inspiring in a spiritual way which only made it odder for her since Fareeha wasn't that a spiritual type. The earrings she wore had been said to be a relic handed down throughout the family that belonged to Cleopatra. Which if it was true, Fareeha wondered if she'd find something in this place that could prove once and for all her ancestry; and possible relation to Cleopatra herself for those who still questioned it.

Though as Fareeha pondered, feeling hot as she was happy the armor she wore was easy to take off. She did so, setting the armor in a small pile to her left as she was now in her what she called 'Desert Security' uniform. Feeling much cooler as she was enjoying this day so far. Well until it happened.

A sudden stinging pain began to burn on the top of Fareeha's right hand and whole arm. Taking of the glove she wore and rolling up the long sleeve as high as it could go. She saw the flesh on her right arm begin to steam a little. Before a ton of read markings formed on.

Fareeha cringing badly from the searing pain. But that only lasted for a few moments, before Fareeha noticed a large red circle form a bit ahead of her on the ground. Lighting up as sparks flew out a little. Then an explosion of smoke occurred, forcing Fareeha to cover her face. Though the smoke began to dissipate moments later and once it got a bit more clear. Fareeha swore looking at where the circle had been. She saw two… shadowy blobs. Confused beyond belief, she was put in stupor once the smoke was all but gone. Which then showed there now, where the circle had been. Were two people.

The first was a somewhat taller man, maybe 6,1 or 6,2 at least. With slightly olive skin. He had a clean shaved face, yellow piercing eyes and spiky green hair. Wearing what seemed to be a pair of black pants, shirt and gloves. He also wore a metal chest piece, shoulder pads, a skirt piece, boots, leg guards and bracers. Finally he had tied around his chest was a long orange piece of cloth that flowed a little form the breeze.

Then second, was a woman. She wore a lovely white dress, with pair of lovely black heels that were encrusted with gold. She also had gold arm bands, bracelets, rings, earrings, a head band even and just a few more gold items on her person. Mainly in the form of a neckless. She even had a white chockers around her neck . She had rather pale white skin, light green eyes and long aqua green hair that went down to around her ankles. Finally taking note was that she had a bit of black mascara around her eyes, with a small curved line around the right bottom of the eye that poked out.

But what caught Fareeha's attention when she gazed upon the woman. Was an odd feeling, one of… familiarity even if Fareeha had never met a person like this woman in her whole life. Though as the area became silent again, the two people finally seemed to take notice of the area around them. Fareeha about to say something. Was beaten to it rather abruptly.

"Where the hell are we?" The man asked, a bit baffled as he looked around "Look's horrible for one and two it's so damn hot!"

"Hey don't say that about one of my lovely homes away from home!" The woman argued. Looking around to as she seemed way upset "AND WHAT HAPPENED HERE. WHO DID THIS?!"

"Ah…" Fareeha tried to say again, but was cut off by the woman who looked right at her

"You." The woman simply stated. Making Fareeha freeze oddly from just her tone alone as the woman studied her "Hm… are you one of the servants here. You look like it, then again it can't be. No... you're my master."

Wait w-" Fareeha yet again tried to say. But like before, she was interrupted

"You mean MY master?" The man exclaimed, looking at Fareeha for a moment the back at the woman as her narrowed his eyes "Speaking of, why are you here Servant. Did you plan to trick my master so you could stab her in the back?"

"Hold up just-" Fareeha really tried to say. But once more, she was cut off before she could get a single full sentence in

"How dare you. I would never do that, I maybe an assassin class servant. But I'm not a scoundrel like you… whoever you are!" The woman accused back, she and the man glaring at each other as the man much to Fareeha's further shock and confusion conjured up an spear from thin air into his hands

"How about we settle this like Servants should missy." The man threatened as he held his spear ready to use it as the woman glared back, conjuring up a large golden snake from behind her out of nowhere; which only added to Fareeha's shock

"If you insist scoundrel. So be it." The woman threated back. Narrowing her eyes as it became tense for a moment before thankfully Fareeha had it

"ENOUGH!" Fareeha screamed, both the man and woman looking at Fareeha who moved up closer to them. The man first as she grabbed his spear and the tip down to the ground "YOU, CHILL OUT AND PUT THAT AWAY GOT IT!"

"Ah... y-yeah sure." The man replied. A bit scared already of his master, this woman reminded him of his teacher a bit just not as calm as he was

"Ha!" The woman laughed at the sight, before she saw Fareeha walk over to her now

"And you don't get out this either. You need chill like now got it lady!" Fareeha ordered, as the woman seemed a bit shocked and a bit offended by the demand

"Do you have any idea who y-" The woman began to argue, only for Fareeha to cut her off this time

"No. NO I DON'T!" Fareeha screamed as the woman was a bit surprised at how fierce Fareeha seemed just now. Fareeha herself growling a bit as she screamed in her hands for a moment. Both the man and woman looking at her, each other and then back at Fareeha again. Who herself looked up and back at them "Speaking of, WHO ARE YOU TWO AND WHAT IS GOING ON!?"

Once more. The man and woman looked at each other, raising an eyebrow as they realized just now, Fareeha or their master was being serious. Looking back at Fareeha once more. The woman spoke for the two the only expression either was feeling currently.

"Oh my." The woman simply said in disbelief at the situation

As she and the man realized. The fact their master had no idea what was going on and the fact they seemed to have ended up with no knowledge like they were supposed to aside from well their roles; and basic english. They realized too, that things were going to be very… very… interesting from now on.

.

.

.

"Okay, Okay so… let me get this straight. You two are summoned spirits from humanities past called Heroic Spirits and you're part of some war for a magic wishing cup…" Fareeha repeated after she'd just been explain the whole entirety of what these two were and why they were even here in the first place. The two with her just nodded as Fareeha sighed a little wondering if this was some crazy fever dream from the heat. But she knew it wasn't sadly "That and considering that's the usual shtick. Now you've realized that that this may not be the case anymore since you're both my so called servants, and didn't receive the usual information on this era you'd have gotten upon summoning. Did… did I get that all right?"

"Basically. To be honest we're just as stump as you are. Like really stumped." The man answered as the woman nodded in silent agreement

"Great… just-" Fareeha muttered as she rubbed her eyes, scratching the left side of her head a little only for her thumb to graze under her ear like it did sometimes. Then she realized she was missing it, the earing and began to freak out a bit "Where is it, WHERE IS IT?!"

"Where's what?" The woman asked, as she and the man took notice of the sudden panic their master was displaying as she looked around the ground a little

"My earing. They're important!" Fareeha answered as she looked around some more in a panic

"Really. An earring, come on now it can't be THAT important." The man quipped as he didn't see the big deal, then he felt a slight kick to the side of his right leg as he cringed a bit looking to see his partner Heroic Spirit giving him a slight glare "What the hell?!"

"Oh shush you. Obviously you have no idea how much earrings and jewelry can mean to someone." The woman scolded as she looked back at Fareeha before touching her own left ear showing off a golden earing of her own "Like this beauty. It was a gift from-"

"THAT'S IT!" Fareeha screamed, getting back on her feet as she looked right at the woman "WHERE DID YOU GET THAT?"

"What, this is mine dearie. I have no idea-" The woman began to argue, only for Fareeha to cut her off

"Wait, wait!" Fareeha screamed, silencing the woman as something began to click in Fareeha's mind. Looking at the man, she decided to take this rather sudden leap of faith and hope she doesn't sound to crazy… considering what she'd been told that was hard to believe but she was wary either way "You both said you're people from the past… who are you?"

"Heh." The man chuckled, with a smirk like he'd been waiting for her to ask "Glad you asked. My name is Achilles."

Fareeha for a moment went wide eyed, speechless as everyone at this point in life had heard of the legendary figure know as Achilles. From either old books, movies, pop culture and such. Achilles tale was one everyone had heard of one way or another. Already having no reason to doubt these two since well considering how they appeared and some of the other feats they showed beforehand. The man must be who he is. Achilles seeing his masters shock, smirked in some pride that his name left his master in such a shock.

"Heh, must be famous as hell if this is the reaction. Ha!" Achilles cheered as his pride ever grew more bigger at this fact and he wondered how well he was known throughout the world

"Well yeah. A lot of people know of you." Fareeha was finally able to say rather calmly, though her nerves were shaking and now even more when she looked upon the woman wondering. Just wondering if this woman could be who she was guessing on. While Achilles seemed even more happy from what she said, Fareeha then looked to the woman "Y-You?"

"If you must know. You my dear are standing in the presence of royalty. I am Cleopatra." Cleopatra answered with pride, even if she was still a little upset that her master accused her of stealing her earing just a minuet ago

Though even if Fareeha was shocked, to her very core at what the woman just said. Unlike Achilles, she fell to her knees. Achilles quickly moving up to her and helping her back on her feet. Cleopatra a little worried and confused on the reaction of her master.

"Whoa there missy. You okay, what was that just about?" Achilles asked, keeping a hold on his master for a few more moments. Before he could tell she was good to stand on her two own feet

"Yes. Something wrong?" Cleopatra asked curious at what the possible reason for such a reaction could be

"I..I… when I ah… accused you of stealing my earring." Fareeha began to say, stopping for a moment as she was finally racking in her head that this woman was HER. Looking Cleopatra in the eyes, she took a deep breath to get it over with "I did so b-because… their mine and also… a family heirloom."

"Family…" Cleopatra began to muttered, before it started to click to her on what Fareeha was getting at. Achilles seconds later, as he looked at the two suddenly back and forth

"Well. This is… something." Achilles muttered

"Yeah. But ah… I think get what I'm saying." Fareeha stated, as she and Cleopatra were just staring at each other in total shock. So much that Fareeha didn't even take notice of what she said next "Hi… great g-grandmother."

With that, for the moment at least. A silence filled the area around the three. A master, her two servants. One a renowned hero, the other the new master ancestor. But as this went on, the changes to come did not stop here. As at the same time or maybe different times this day. Events similar to this one occurred...

---

It was another night at the home of Rin and her family...

Rin was out with Hana, Saber and Archer today. Though had yet come back, but most a reason for that. While Illya was slumbering in her bed currently, enjoy a peaceful slumber. But with that, in the Tohsaka household. The only one's awake were Lena, Emily, Winston and Ashe.

All of them sitting in the living room. Mainly just relaxing, while Lena was still trying to get over the whole fact that this stupid war had dragged her family into this… again. Lena may not show it, since she's pretty laid back. But she was pretty protective over Rin and Illya. Hana too, even the new kids she hadn't met yet. Mostly because she loved kids, and hated the fact they seven of them, two of them being blood family and one considered family. We're being forced to fight in war none of them had any want in, aside from maybe Rin.

"Dear you know you're gonna get early on set wrinkles if you keep making that face." Emily quipped in, as Lena looked seeing her love giving her a small sad if not kind smile. Emily hugging Lena a moment later "Just saying."

"Heh… yeah." Lena replied back. Chuckling just a little and despite her worry she was glad to have family to help her through this. Giving Emily a hug back and a kiss on the lips before resting her head against Emily's shoulder "Thanks love."

"Anytime Lena." Emily simply stated. Happy to see she could at least get Lena to smile a bit considering the events these past few days now

"Just wish we could do some more to help out." Winston exclaimed out of the blue, as it was true. He felt pretty useless currently not being able to help either his nieces or Angela's sweet child, even the other kids he too had met yet he worried for "I hate sitting here when there's a bunch of spirits and a crazy woman out there wanting them dead."

"True. I feel the same, but at least it seems they have back up." Ashe answered as she sat on single seat chair sideways looking up at the roof. Remembered telling everyone here about Zenyatta, Lincoln and Ranger coming in to help yesterday. Then looking at Winston now, she gave him a serious and confident stare "And us, all of us. Maybe we can't do much now, but we can help one way or another when they need the help."

"Yeah I guess, still…" Winston agreed. Seeing the points Ashe was making, still that didn't mean he felt any less useless then he was currently feeling

"I think we should all just agree. That it's normal for us to feel like we're not helping much right now. But we can't let it deter us from the fact that we can still be of help in the future." Emily quickly explained. Ashe and Winston slowly nodding in agreement as Lena just chuckled

"That's my Emily. Always bring us back to the silver lining of everything." Lena exclaimed, as Emily smirked back proudly

"I know and that's why you love me." Emily remarked, Lena chuckling some more before Winston followed seconds later and then finally Ashe too. All four worried adults, for a moment at least being able to have a good laugh; too bad that didn't last for too long

It was a few moments later. Before a sudden burning sensation began to enrapture itself around the top of the hands and the arms; of Ashe and Lena. Both women suddenly groaning in extreme pain as they fell to the floor. Emily and Winston looking at both woman in pain, but before they could help. A large red colored circle began to appear were the coffee table was at. Lighting starting to shot out a bit, before a sudden eruption of smoke occurred. Forcing Winston and Emily to cover their eyes.

Moments later Emily and Winston took notice that Ashe and Lena weren't screaming in pain anymore. That and the smoke was starting to die down and within four blobs barely seeable were noticed. Emily and Winston narrowing their eyes wondering what they were. Meanwhile Lena and Ashe sat back up finally.

"Son of a…. what was that?" Ashe asked to no one in particular, only for the smoke to finally die down moments later. She, Lena, Ashe and Winston taking notice of what had just happened "Oh…"

"Bloody hell.." Lena finished off her cousins statement, as she and Ashe stood back up. Those two, alongside Emily and Winston just staring at the four individuals before them

The first was a young olive skinned woman. With pretty light grey eyes, neck length blonde hair and the small little strand of hair that poked up in the front. She also wore a black bow on the Back of her hair and a black long scarf around her neck. A pair of black bicep to hand arm guards alongside mid-thigh to around her ankle leg guards she sported too, with a pair of black sandals that wrapped around the middle of her feet. Second to last she wore a white sleeveless kimono, with blue around the waist, a black belt around her waist too and also the skirt piece was rather… short. Finally clipped to the left of her kimono. Was a red wooden sheath that had a black handle and gold guard katana sheathed within it.

Next was somewhat middle aged, maybe young man. His pale skin only brought out by this blue eyes, black well-kept hair and cleaned shaved face. Wearing what looked to be a pair of black dress shoes, black dress pants, a golden wide strap around his lower half of the torse and looked to be metal. He also wore what looked to be a black vest and a white dress shirt. All of that under a black long coat with the lower half of it segmented into tied together strips. He also wore a pair of fancy white gloves and held a cane in his hand.

These first two stood closer to Lena, who in all rights was confused. But not because she didn't know what these were as that horror began to surface in her mind. It more of WHY, just WHY. But aside from that, there were still two more in the room, standing near Ashe more. Which only made Lena more confused on just… WHY!?

Speaking of, the second female standing closer to Ashe. Was a young woman, a lovely peach skinned young woman. With long pretty brunet hair hat went down to her ankles at most. She wore ahem, rather a revealing set of clothing. As it was a dress from the shape of it, BUT most of her torso, stomach, sides, shoulder and back could be seen plain as day. Just a bit of cloth covered the rather exposed medium sized breasts of the woman. The lower hold was a bit better, just the sides and inners of her thighs were exposed, with a cloth covering thankfully her lower parts. The bottom of the dress were bright red like flames and she was barefoot. Lastly she held in both her hands two gold hit swords with small pieces of red cloth tied to the bottom of each, like a charm.

Then came the last of the four, being male at least. That's what he looked like mostly. For this man was a bloody centaur of sorts. With his lower half being a brown fur horse body, and the upper half a human torso with four arms and a human face. Though his face was a bit demonic looking with the horns, nearly pale purple skin and two fangs that popped from his mouth. Though he did have an unearthly blue colored right eye and a pure white left eye that was a bit scared around it. He had brown long hair and chin beard. He was covered a bit in blue and gold spiked armor along with the horse half sporting similar armor. He also had a red cloth around his waist, a few large green beads and wielding in each of his four hands, for swords.

All in all, this day had gone form bad, too much… MUCH worse and Ashe at least could only say the one thing that summed up what everyone in the room probably felt

"Oh shit…"

---

It was a quiet night at a large mansion...

Quiet like usual, boring, normal and peaceful. Now out of those three things, only one seemed to bother the current and youngest resident of this home. A young heiress know as Satya Vaswani.

Currently she was looking out the window of her bedroom, where she could see a good portion of the city from outside the gates that surrounded her home. She should be in bed right now, actually she was supposed to be in bed three hours ago. Her parents always saying that it was important to get rest and have a fully functional mind for the next day. But tonight… tonight she couldn't stay asleep. The past day had honestly… surprised her.

It all had to do with those six students. The one's named Hana, Rin, Olivia, Brigette, Genji and the boy she'd met called Lucio. Contrary to belief. Even if she did attended Angel Dawn like those six. She actually only personally knew Lucio out of all the students and staff. As her family though allowing her to attend the school. Also made it so that she was taught separately from everyone else. It had been that way her whole life. Sure, she was rather intelligent; very intelligent to be exact. But it always so… quiet.

That was, until she met Lucio. Even only knowing the boy for two days, talking to him once and even telling him a lie about her self-made nickname or the fact she had friends at all. For some reason, she couldn't get the boy out of her mind. She'd learned how to talk to someone and expected to have an quote on quote 'proper' talk with the boy her own age. Instead, her expectation had been shattered when he spoke to her so… casually. So improper and so friendly. Honestly, it made her smile. Smile that her first interaction, wasn't so… cold and void of life.

Though now she overheard from rumors here and there of what her private tutors heard. That it appeared he and five other students she only learn of after looking them up. Had brought in six very… unique looking strangers. The only reason she knew what the strangers looked like, was when she decided for once to stay after school just a bit, hiding a bit behind a few bushes. Seeing the six unique looking individuals. One's that felt off to her even now as she thought on it.

"You know. Thinking about it isn't going to make you feel any less curious about them." A sudden voice said from behind Satya, older, mature and with a hint of wisdom

Satya looked back. Seeing someone appeared before her, Satya's guest for the last two days of her own. The woman in question was a beauty to behold in every way. From her flawless peach skin, long silky dark violet hair and lovely red eyes. To her odd if not unique attire. Being a purple suit of sorts that was thin yet exposed none of skin. Aside from the suit being form fitting, showing off the woman's curvy and fit figure. All un light purple and dark purple. She also wore a few pieces of light purple colored metal armor on her shoulders and boots. Also she had purple skirt piece that hung from behind her. All in all, this woman was a deadly beauty. One that was smiling a bit at Satya and sitting on the edge of her large bed.

"I know that Scathach. I'm just not use to feeling so…" Satya tried to say, but couldn't find the word to say what she wanted to or more accurately didn't want to say the word that explained easily what she strived for at times in her life even if she also did love the life she had

"Normal." Scathach quipped, Satya flinched a little at the bluntness; though narrowed her eyes too with a slightly irked groan. Scathach herself just shrugged, still smiling at the young girl who was her master and one she for the last two days learned was quiet… sheltered "What. I'm only saying is all. You know it's true so enough with the glaring child."

"…" Satya didn't say, as Scathach narrowed her own eyes barely making the young Heiress flinch some more as she looked away and back out the window "S-Sorry. I didn't mean to…"

"It's fine. Sheesh, young lady you really need to learn to not be so… ridged. Honestly." Scathach replied. As she felt bad for her master, even if she herself could be one hell of teacher in her living life. She never stopped her own students then from being independent and let them be well kids, teens and young adults. It seemed her master parents made that impossible and left the young lady just a quiet proper heiress who had little to no skills outside of her 'assigned' course of life

"I… I'll try." Satya simply said as for the last two days too. She'd learned what a very blunt if not well meaning person could be like and by god Scathach really could read her like a book

To be honest it was so weird too. She'd never really had any belief in mystical stuff or ideologies. Until she got those marks on her right hand and then Scathach came to her. Didn't make her any less shocked when she learned that her so called 'servant' was the soul of long dead Celtic legend and in her case alone a goddess of sorts. That had been quiet the shock. Though the whole war part didn't help her feel any better, or the fact it appears Scathach isn't one of the seven usual classes of this war. But something of her own. Though it was also a bit fun too, she finally had another real friend aside from Lucio who talked to her like she was just another person and not some rich girl. A blunt one, but a friend none the less. That and getting to teach her new friend about this era since it seemed the information Scathach was supposed to get never came.

"That's all I ask for child." Scathach replied back kindly, before getting up from the edge of the bed and walking up next to Satya looking ou the window still memorized by what she'd seen so far with the advancements of this era. Even if some of it was bad, there was plenty of good too "I do wonder though child. What is our role in this war, it's already unusual from what I can tell with my own situation. But there has to be something bigger going on. Maybe tomorrow we can-"

But just as she began to make a few suggestion. She saw Satya fall to the ground screaming in pain. Her command seals glowing brightly before Scathach noticed the rest of her masters arm was starting to have burned in it extra command seals. Wide eyed, she quickly helped her master back up as she groaned. Scathach just staring at the extra command seals.

"What in the-" Scathach began to say, before suddenly she saw a summon circle and before her mind could register it as just that. Smoke exploded forcing her to cover her eyes, while keeping a hold on her master who was only groaning just a little bit now in pain; then as the smoked died they saw… her

Who was this woman they saw. Well it a young woman to be exact, looking Indian at first glance and not just because of her more darker skin tone. Though her light red eyes and nearly white-blond long hair with two braids on each side kind of detracted from that first guess. No it was her attire mostly. What that meant, as Satya through her pain looked over this woman's attire. As it remined her of old photos and paintings she saw when she was just but a young girl.

The attire of this woman, was simply in a way yet lovely too. It was a pure white sleeveless shirt, with a red going down the middle and a light black belt around the waist . Also there was a leather belt tied from over the left shoulder to the right side of her belt, and a symbol was knitted on the left upper part of where her breast was. Th lower half was a pair or white pants, with long thigh high black heeled boots. She also wore a pair of white gloves. Lastly there was a red sheath tied to the left off her belt where what looked like a gold handled sword was sheathed in there. Though in the woman's right hand, was one of those old time looking rifles from way back.

As this occurred. The young woman who'd just appeared, took a moment to study the room. Confused at how it looked so… what's the word. Clean, so very spotless. Then she looked around noticing items she had NO idea what they even did. Before finally resting her eyes on what seemed to be oddly another servant and then the young girl who seemed to be like her from Indian or at least had relatives from there… unless they weren't. Never mind, point was. This young woman, though confused. Decided to just for right now, simply address her master and get some answers later.

"It seems I'm not the only servant summoned, getting to that later. For now, in accordance to my summoning. I must ask, are y-" The young woman began to recite, only to see her master fall to the ground out cold. The other servant catching her, before lifting the girl up an over to the bed. Once on the bed, the young woman moved over seeing that it seemed her master had passed out from most likely just shock overwhelming her. Looking the th other servant, seeing her sighing a bit "Um… was that my doing?"

"I think so. Not your fault, but let's just say things are… a bit odd. Scathach by the way." Scathach answered, rubbing her eyes for a moment before holding her hand out as the newly summoned servant took a moment before shaking it

"Then you can simply refer to me as Lakshmibai. Pleasure." Lakshmibai stated. Shaking Scathach hand for a few moments before letting go looking back down at her master "So then. Things are… really odd?"

"Yep. Sit down for a bit. This is going to be a short, but very confusing story from the past few days." Scathach suggested, sitting down on the bed, Lakshmibai doing the same as both began to talk

Though as they did, neither realized just how much odder this war was going to be. That and they didn't realize what fate their master would deal with now. But they did know one thing, for as long as they were around. They would do what they could to keep her safe, no matter the cost...

Another night shinned above the land of Britain itself...

Down by the creak was Genji sitting on the roof of his little hidden home. Alongside him, was Caster still in her casual attire. Currently, they were looking at the night sky, which despite the lights of the city. Shinned brightly.

"So, Medea. How have you been enjoying this era so far?" Genji kindly asked. Looking over to see Medea look at him, before she looked back up at the sky like she was taking a moment to think. He was glad that during their trip back home from Hana's today, Caster or Medea trusted him enough to tell him her real name and though her name didn't ring a bell; he did make a note to look up her legend soon

"If I'm being honest still a bit… scared." Medea explained. As she was remembering what she'd seen and learned so far on the years that passed after her own time "I mean. I've found a lot of what I've seen so… amazing. Yet, what I've read…"

"Yeah, I'll admit our species hasn't had the best track record of peace and unity. Especially when machinery began to rapidly develop." Genji stated with a slight frown as Medea couldn't help but agree when she learned about what was created out of machinery; especially the tools of war. Genji though smiled once more as he looked up at the night sky alongside Medea "But, you know… I'm glad that now we've finally figured out how to have peace. Like real lasting peace, I mean yeah there's always going to be bad people and such. But life as it is now, is the best it's ever been. That's the truth."

"Hm, quiet the optimist aren't you?" Medea joked a little, looking back at Genji with a chuckle

"Eh.. sorry, hehe. I ah, tend to be that way." Genji sheepishly explained, rubbing the back of his head as he was doing his best to not gush a bit at how he found Medea's giggle cute just now

"No. It's not bad just… just, it's refreshing to be around. Really refreshing." Medea explained as she hugged her knees a bit "I've been around a lot of people who tend to be cynics. Some had good reason, but most we're being that way out pettiness. So being around someone like you, someone who's experiences a trauma that most never will. But can be so… happy and positive. It's refreshing like I said."

"Well I'm glad to-" Genji began to say. Only for him to suddenly stop as something began to stir up within him

"Genji?' Medea asked. A bit worried all of a sudden when she saw Genji stop mid-sentence; then she felt a suddenly jolt of prana within her masters magic core before it happened

"GAH!" Genji suddenly screamed. His right arm starting to twitch out as he fell off the top of his hidden bunker home and landed on the ground on his back

"GENJI!" Medea screamed. Leaping down as she knelt next to Genji who was clenching his arm like h was about to dig his nails into the flesh through the fabric "What's wrong, please tell me!"

"Arm… so… much….. pain…." Genji said through his teeth as his arm began to smoke a little form under the fabric of his shirt. Medea quickly taking out her dagger, began to use the tip to cut the cloth around his right arm from the where the shoulder started

Once off, Medea ripped off the piece of cloth. Seeing smoke was really coming from the very flesh of Genji's arm. Confused on why, until she saw suddenly something that made her heart stop in a confused panic. It looked like a bunch of command seals began to form on his right arm, then without warning from behind as summon circle began to flare up.

Medea was too shocked at the suddenness of everything to properly try and do something; and by the time it occurred to her to try it was too late. The summon circle exploded into a blast of smoke that forced Medea to cover her eyes as she laid on top of Genji to cover him a bit from the smoke. After a moment or so, Medea saw Genji was panting less from the pain and slowly began to try to sit back up. Medea though helped him with that just a enough so he could looked ahead.

"M-Medea…" Genji groaned as he cringed a bit while his right arm twitches still a bit

"It's okay. I'm here." Medea simply answered, looking over to the site where the summon circle was narrowing her eyes a bit as she was on guard now; Genji looked too as the smoke finally dissipated showing who had been summoned

And who it was, was what looked to be a young girl. Lovely in every way from her flawless pale skin, pretty ice blue eyes and long white hair. She wore what looked to be a layered light blue robe made for the coldest of winter, with under it being a lovely white dress that gave of a royal appearance. This girl also wore on her head a cute head band with a cute bow on the right and held in her hands an odd looking doll of sorts. What was the most oddest was that a bit of ice had formed on the grass where she stood.

It was moment or so more before the young girl looked around finally, taking notice of the oddness of her surroundings. Before setting her eyes on the two before Medea and the young man who was to be her master. But she was confused on a few things, mainly on why her master already had another servant. Looking behind her once more just to stare at the oddness of the area, she decide to speak finally.

"Explain." The young lady calmly ordered, Medea raising an eyebrow as she set down her master and stood back up

"Excuse me?" Medea asked. Crossing her arms as she walked a bit closer to the young lady

"I said explain. I gave you an order so you have to-" The young lady rather began to explain calmly as she turned around only for her to get a solid smacks across the face making the girl flinch a bit to the right at the sudden force or the smack

"That's just the start, if you think you can just order me around young lady." Medea stated as she had been a mother in her past life, sure with two boys but a mother no less and knew what was needed for certain situations involving kids; this one called for a smack across the face

"D-Did you just smack me?" The young girl asked, looking back as she had a glare only for her to get her ear grabbed real hard and pulled hard "Ow, ow let go!"

"Not until you said the… magic word." Medea explained as she was not going to deal with this sort of behavior the whole war, so better to stomp it out right here and now, then later

"Now…" The young lady grumbled a little, as she was doing her best to not show how painful the ear pull was

"Try again." Medea simply exclaimed. Pulling ever harder as a few tears actually came from the young girls eyes as she let out a eep of pain

"P-Please." The young lady corrected herself. Hoping that this pain would end and thankfully it did when Medea let go of her ear. The young lady rubbing her sore ear now as she averted her gaze from Medea "That hurt you know."

"I do and if you think of ordering us around anymore. I won't hesitant to smack you again, understand?" Medea answered. Slightly stern and slightly kind, as the young lady didn't look at her or answer her so Medea decided to be a bit sterner this times "Is that understood and look at me when I speak to you. You weren't raise in by ill minded thugs were you?"

"…." The young girl didn't say. But did hesitantly look back up at Medea before clearing her throat to at least say something "Y-Yes ma'am."

"Good. Now then I'll this wasn't the best fir impressions. But I wanted you to take note that ordering or acting like you are owned anything won't be tolerated." Medea explained as she did feel bad doing this. But she knew it was the quickest way to get the young servant who now that Medea took notice was only maybe fifteen to understand that her behavior wasn't going to tolerated. So deciding to make up for the rather painful first hello's between them, she smiled sweetly and patted the top of the young girls head "I'm Medea by the way. You?"

"A… Anastasia miss." Anastasia answered. Nervous around the woman despite the power she had in her caster class, maybe because of how stern the woman was or maybe because she was just an older woman who had a lot of more life experience above her own that made the girl respected Medea already despite the smack across the face and ear pull

"That's a lovely name." Medea stated as Anastasia smiled a little at the kind words before they both heard groaning and looked seeing Genji get back up. Medea looking back at Anastasia for a moment "Come. Time to meet your master."

"Okay." Anastasia said. Following Medea as they both moved back over to Genji who was on his two feet now though seemed a bit in pain still

"Are you okay Genji?" Medea asked, making sure that the young man was keeping steady and not about to fall over again

"I'm fine… just a bit sore." Genji explained. Straightening himself back up as his arm still felt sore and he felt a bit tired now. But looking at the new young girl with Medea he couldn't help but stay away from his curiosity alone "And you are?"

"A-Anastasia my master." Anastasia shyly answered as Genji smiled a little to help ease her nervousness a bit "Nice to meet you."

"You too Anastasia." Genji quipped, before looking at Medea "So, any idea what happened to me or why it seems I've summoned another servant and have extra command seals on my arm?"

"No idea. But as much as it pains me to say, the how is not important. What is, is getting Anastasia here accommodated and caught up with.. what's been going on." Medea stated. Before looking over the young lady again for a moment "That and I'll get her some more normal clothing."

"Huh?" Anastasia mused. A bit confused on what that meant, Genji just laughed a little as Anastasi turned her gaze back at him

"Don't worry. It will be explained soon, for now follow me and Medea into your new home. It's going to be a long night." Genji explained kindly as Anastasia just nodded that she would go along with this

With that, Genji and Medea lead their sudden and new ally back into the hidden home of theirs. Confused on what in the just happened. But also knew, that explaining this tomorrow to the others would be one, very odd task to do.

Another night, another day...

For Olivia and Medusa this is how it was for the rest of their day, after the early morning meet at Hana's. Sitting inside her room as they just talked. Thankfully she wasn't grounded from using the computer, but everything else was still of limits and her gun had been locked up in her dad's gun safe. But hey at least her parents weren't mad at her anymore for the gun, no more then her dad wanting to take a look at it alongside Olivia once her grounding was over.

Currently though, Olivia was surfing the web with Medusa. Who sitting next to her master watching in wonderment. Olivia trying to look up a few articles on rather strange events going around the city and around the world. Mainly to see if maybe something could indicate other rouge servant activities. Currently nothing yet had showed, but something would… eventually.

"Sorry again you have to just sit here while I surf the net. Wish I could start up a game on my game station for you to play. BUT… you know, grounded and the thing makes too much noise not to be noticed." Olivia quipped as she gave her friend an apologetic smile, Medusa smiling back at the kind consideration

"It's no problem honest. I like watching, it's rather… memorizing." Medusa explained as she had found the wonders of the internet quiet awe inspiring, though when she first gazed upon it; was images… of her "Still. I didn't realize that my legend gave me such a… appearance."

"Yeah. Looking at you now, it must seem kind of insulting." Oliva replied. As she had to help Medusa feel better about herself after seeing a good few images of her of how most think Medusa looks in this era. Smirking she pulled Medusa into a one arm hugged "Beside, you're super cuter in person baby snake!"

"O-Olivia…" Medusa replied, a bit bashful at her masters kind words as she couldn't help but chuckle a little in glee "Thanks though."

"No problem. We're besties and besties keep each other's spirits up!" Olivia exclaimed. Smiling widely in reassurance as Medusa just nodded kindly; though as this occurred. Olivia had accidently pressed a rain video as it played with the sounds of rain hitting glass at a rapid pace

"GAH!" Medusa screamed as she covered her ears and pushed her face against Olivia's neck for some form of protection; didn't take long for Olivia to realize why this was that and also doing what she could to not make her heart beat too fast from the sudden contact

"S-Sorry give me a second." Olivia said. Closing the window quickly, as the sounds stopped leaving the two in silence. Medusa slowly looking back up and uncovering her ears "You okay?"

"I… yes." Medusa answered. Slowly straightening herself up as she took a deep breath "Sorry."

"It's fine honest, but what was that about anyways?" Olivia questioned. A bit curious on what could have made her form such an extreme reaction to that sort of sound "You can tell me if you want. I won't force you too if you don't though. Promise."

"It's fine. Just… it reminded me of the sounds that metal man called Bastion made, when he fired his gun." Medusa explained. A bit shameful as Olivia's machine gun hadn't scared her much, like how Bastions had "I know it seems silly but, it was just so loud and sudden. I've been hearing of guns and even accident shot yours. But Bastions was… different, scary… made me feel helpless. Odd isn't it?"

"No. It isn't odd honest. I'll just say this, I've only heard stories of those things. Didn't ever really find them scary myself. But today, seeing her in person… that was scary. Real scary, so no I don't think it's odd and you shouldn't either." Olivia explained, feeling a bit uneasy once more thinking back on earlier today "Can't believe Hana found it and the fact she has like an underground lair. Girl's got some luck, bad or good can't say."

"Speaking of that. You seemed to be getting along better with her." Medusa quipped, mostly to get her mind off the sudden scare she just had

"Yeah well I never hated her, I just thought she a bit too uptight at times… I'm not use to people like that is all." Olivia said as she and Hana were better now, when it came to their growing friendship. Then again, fighting to the death on a team helped with that

"Well I'm glad. I rarely worked with others in my mortal life. But, I know with these rouges we'll all have to get along and get use to each other. Maybe quickly if the rouges get more aggressive with their attack or more show up." Medusa explained calmly, Olivia sighing a bit seeing Medusa's point in this matter

"I get you Medusa, thanks for the advice." Olivia quipped as Medusa nodded a silent 'Your welcome'. Though that's when a sudden spark of energy jolt through her circuits as she fell to the ground "GAH!"

"Olivia?!" Medusa said in a sudden panic, kneeling down as she noticed Olivia was clawing at her right arm as smoke began to stir up some; much to the servants confusion as she knew at least what this was seeing red markings appear on Olivia's and what it meant was complications "Oh no…"

Moments later a summon circle that had formed on the other side of Olivia's room burst into smoke as Medusa faced her back to it while covering Olivia who had just forced herself at the same time to sit back up despite the pain in her arm. Once the quick explosion of smoke ceased and it began to clear. The two looked taking notice of something or someone's form appearing before them. Didn't take long before all the smoke was gone and now the two stared upon someone new.

This new person seemed to be woman who looked a bit older than either Olivia or Medusa. Yet somehow still retained youth aura around her too. As she had peach, if not slightly tanned skin, lovely emerald colored eye, a green gen on her chin and long messy blonde hair that had a few strands held together by green bands. She wore a pair of golden arm bracers with fur sticking out the ends, a pair of knee pads made of metal with red feathers sticking out th bottoms, a pair of brown leather sandals that went up to her ankles, a red and gold like skirt with a blue cloth tired around her waist and was held with a metal clip in th front also with feathers sticking out from the bottom. She also wore an odd golden and feather made head piece, a head band, a golden neckless with emeralds around the top and bottom of it. Finally she wore what looked to be simply a short poncho like cloth that covered her chest mostly leaving a bit her stomach exposed along with her sides.

As Medusa and Olivia looked at the woman, the woman herself looked down at the two in the room with her. Oddly sensing the servant was on her side and the master was the younger girl with the dark skin complexation. Already this woman couldn't help but feel the need to gush at how cute the two looked. Like young siblings looking up to their big sister. Which by that though along finally set the woman off.

"Um-" Olivia began to say, before the woman cut her off

"Hola (Hello) little sisters. You're big sister Quetzalcoatl is here now!" The woman cheered as she lunged at the two, picking them up into a big somewhat tight bear hug "You're both so linda, tan muy linda (cute, so very cute)!"

"W-What the heck is going on?!" Olivia screamed, as the so called Quetzalcoatl kept hugging the two with rather surprising amount of strength, Medusa just shrugged confused herself as Olivia sighed "How can this get any worse?"

"Olivia hunny I heard-" Lara suddenly said, barging into the room a bit worried from what she heard. Only to stop when she saw a new taller woman bear hugging her daughter and her daughters friend Rider; and was wide eyed in shock

"Of course…" Olivia muttered at her luck, her unfortunate luck

Though as Olivia prepared for whatever yelling, screaming and panic was to come. She couldn't but wonder by this point, since considering the past now few days. Olivia truly wondered, was god mad at her and if so; whatever in the loving heck did she do to receive his anger…

In another part of the city...

At the the residence of one Lucio Correia dos Santos, who sat in his backyard with the backyard lights. While sitting next to him was Brigette. With them was Lancer and Assassin, who kept the kids company. While the parents of the two kids were sitting in the backyards porch, just taking with each other. Even if it was a school night, the night was still young.

"Man you know. I'll admit I find this era odd still, but hell at least the star filled night is the same." Lancer quipped as so far this era was really, really crazy and considering some of things he'd experience in his mortal life; that said quite a bit

"Indeed. The view from here is quiet memorizing." Assassin exclaimed. As he and the others looked at the rather nice backyard view of the city "Still I find it quiet hard to believe that humanity had created such complex yet simple constructs after my own time."

"Well that's technology for you. It does quiet the wonders." Brigette exclaimed happily as she took a sip form her water bottle

"Like that metal monstrosity?" Lancer snarked a little as he crossed his arms

"That's a little mean don't ya think?" Brigette mumbled, pouting a bit at the rather mean name for Bastion the rather kind robot so far; if not still a bit scary considering the cockroach incident earlier

"Yeah Lancer. She ain't that bad." Lucio chimed in as he was okay with Bastion. Even with what he saw, which he will admit was a bit unnerving; Bastion had been so nice after that little big incident and her tea was really good

"Exactly, 'That bad' you said. Meaning it still could be a threat in the future. That and what she did today didn't help with my thoughts on it." Lancer explained. Since so far Bastion proved more of a possible threat than anything, the only reason he didn't kill it was because he didn't want to be hit by whatever the hell that thing used on the cockroach "Just saying. Don't believe just cause it's nice it can't hurt ya still. Got it?"

"I guess. But seems a bit much doesn't it?" Lucio asked as Assassin cut in this time

"I'll have to agree with Lancer. The both of you we can see aren't as… attuned with the art of war." Assassin exclaimed as Brigette and Lucio just shrugged a bit since that was true while Assassin went on "That being said. Take it from Lancer and I. Be wary of anything that could kill in a second and be you're friend after."

Lucio and Brigette just looked at each other, then their servants and back at each other sighing a little as they slowly nodded in agreement. The servants could tell that this was uneasy topic and neither could blame their masters feelings on it. So far this era had also showed that war like they knew wasn't really a factor. Sure there were still bad people. But that was near rare by this point in time. Though it was better, to the servants in their opinion. That their young masters learn this lesson if only to keep alive during the war.

"Kids, the hotdogs are done. Come on over, you're friends too!" Clive shouted. The teens and servants looking back seeing that Lucio's father had been making hotdogs while he, his wife and Brigette's folks talked

Lucio, Brigette and their servants all just decided to make their way over to the table. Mostly for Assassin and Lancers case to try these so called 'Hot Dogs' for themselves. So as they moved over to the table. Ready to take their seats, the fun night suddenly became… less fun.

It started when at moments notice, both Lucio and Brigette began to scream and groaned in agonizing pain. Brigette falling on her left side as she began to grab her right arm. Lucio on his knees doing the same with his own right arm. The servants feeling a sudden slight surge in their masters prana, while the parents well…

"What's going on?!" Irie screamed as she and Clive both moved to Lucio, while Torbjorn and Ingrid both moved over to Bridgette

Though the servants had a good, if not surprised and confused feeling on what was exactly happening. Their worries confirmed when suddenly more red markings burnt to their skins. Before anyone could do anything, two large summons circles formed and sparked for a few moments. Before exploding into smoke. Everyone covering their eyes or faces. Then they waited for the smoke to die down and when it did two individuals stood before them.

Standing near Brigette was a woman, who had peach skin, lovely blue eyes and long purple hair hat went down to the end of her back. Wearing a white cloth and golden lined head piece. She also wore a white dress that covered most of her body aside from her thighs somewhat and her stomach and… breasts a bit. Over that was a pair of blue cloth over her shoulders and a red neck piece, along with a pair of pale green and gold line metal bracers on her arms. On her lower half consisted of blue stockings that went up to part of her thighs, a pair of gold pale green metal leg guards and finally wore heeled sandals.

Meanwhile standing near Lucio, was also another woman. Seeming a bit on the teen side or young adult side. She also was probably older then Lucio of Brigette. Either way, this young woman was slightly dark skinned, with light blue eyes and silver hair that was tied in the back onto a long wrapped ponytail that went down to her thighs and had a black head band. What she wore was a long sleeved white and black lined skin tight shirt. A black arm guard on her right and left arms, with an additional white piece of metal plating that covered her left arm more. Around her waist was a two sided skirt piece that covered only her sides leaving her well… black undergarments showing with a bit of her inner thighs, all held by a black leather belt. Two pieces of white and black lined cloth covered her outer thighs. While she also wore a pair heeled boots that went up to half way of her thighs. The boots black with red knees, silver engravings and silver anklets.

As these two stood there, Lucio and Brigette stood back up a bit shocked that they seemed to have another servant. Looking to their other servants wondering if this was normal. The confusion on their servants own faces gave them a quick answer. But then went wide eyed as they remembered… their folks were here. The two teens looked back seeing the shocked looks on their folks faces, they already could tell this night was going to be a long one.

.

.

.

"OKAY…. so let me get this straight and this is just what I'm getting." Irie began as now she, her husband and Brigette's parents sat on one of the couches on the right side of the living room. While Lucio, Brigette, Lancer, Assassin and their newest two… guests sat in a similar set up on th left side of the room. Irie just took one more deep breath before addressing what they has just been told "So apparently, you two and five others we have yet to meet have been dragged into some sort of magic gang war?"

"Well I wouldn't say that Mrs. Santos. It's more… okay maybe kind of." Bridgette tried to correct. Word being 'Tried', as aside from the gang thing; everything else Irie just said was actually kind of spot on with the current situation

"That and these four are actually summoned… dead people of old legends that you're using to fight in said war?" Ingrid added in now, seeming like she was still wrapping her head around this whole… thing

"Basically." Lancer quickly answered as he was feeling a bit awkward currently, he wasn't the best when it came to these kinds of situations

"Could have been a bit more subtle young man." The older servant stated sternly, like a scolding mother before looking back at the parents "But yes. That is what you say it is. Though if it helps this one is… different. I don't know why, but it feels different."

"You mean like the damn lapse of knowledge of the common era or the fact they're already the seven classes summoned?" The young servant exclaimed seeming a bit frustrated by this fact "Damn what's going on?!"

"Calm down. Getting frustrated about it isn't going to lessen the confusion." Assassin quipped, as the young woman just scowled but kept quiet with a bit of grumbling. Assassin sighed a little, before looking back at the parents "Anyways. This Holy Grail War is different, but I think it's worse this time around."

"Really, worse. How much more worse than the fact the kids here are stuck in a magic death battle?!' Ingrid chastised this time as Assassin at least flinched a bit at the woman's response, not that he blamed her for it

"Dear. I think we need to keep calm right now." Torbjorn quickly suggested. Though it was mostly to not have his dear love attack any of the four… ghosts he guessed. Though to be honest he was having some issues himself with the whole magic war and spirits, and… you know what better not to think on it TOO much right now

Ingrid meanwhile just sighed, before calming down a little. Once it seems thing were relatively better, Brigette decided to speak up for her side. Not that it was easy, since she now realized she and Lucio were a BIGGER targets now for the rouges. Lord help her that maybe, just maybe the one's they've faced so far were the only one's summoned. Still clearing her throat, everyone else looked to her now; which didn't help with the internal nervousness building up inside her. But Brigette knew she had to say something for their defense.

"Okay…l-look. I know this isn't exactly idea for you all. I know y-you're probably just worried about us b-but…" Brigette tried to say, but she was starting to panic a bit since she really hated speaking like this. Though she felt a gentle touch on the shoulder, looking she saw her new servant giving her a reassuring smile. One that help Brigitte feel a bit of courage stir up, taking a deep breath; she continued "But. I and Lucio are in this already, we've made a pack with the others and we aren't back out of it. It won't be fair to them and our servants. I can only imagine what you all must be feeling. But I can promise, w-were safe with our friends here. I promise that on my life."

Silence then filled the room. Brigette taking another deep breath and a sense of pride in herself for saying so much in front of so many without freaking out for once. She'd never been good with that. Though as the silence lingered on , finally someone on the parents side spoke up.

"Okay." Clive finally was able to say, after taking in and mostly getting a good idea on what the situation with his son, his sons friend Brigette and these other new friends of Lucio's were stuck in. He may not like it much, but he knew they were being honest that they were stuck in this war now

"O-Okay. Are you crazy Clive?" Irie asked, shocked that her husband seemed so… so OKAY with this; she was doing all she could to not have a panic attack right now

"No. I'm not hun." Clive answered, looking at his wife with an understanding smile "But you can tell they're being honest with us about being stuck in this. That and we can't go to anyone like the police with this. They'll think we're crazy. So that being said, I think the kids friends here are the best option for their protection."

Again silence. But it was more of a thoughtful silence then anything. No one from the parents side able to argue with Clive's logic. Knowing that it was a fruitless argument, Irie, then Ingrid and finally Torbjorn all silently nodded in agreement. Looking back at the kids and their guests, Clive decided to speak on.

"Before we get things settled. Can we know your names?" Clive asked as the two newcomers looked at one another, then back at Clive, the parents. the servants they would be working with and then their masters. All of them curious too, the younger of the two sighing

"Guess we can. So you first or…." The younger servant asked, as she was good for either

"How about me first, you right after at the same time?" The older woman suggested, as the younger one shrugged seeming fine with it. Both standing up and moving in front of their masters to state their names, before asking the most important question there was for a servant and master.

.

.

"I am Rider class…

.

.

"I am Lancer class…"

.

.

"Saint Martha."

.

.

"Caenis"

.

.

"And we ask of you…"

.

.

.

"Are you our masters?"

It was late at night at the Tohsaka household...

Illya having snuck out when everyone else was preoccupied in the house, sat in the backyard of her home. Even if it was a school night. Illya had decided to go out to enjoy the night, mainly to get things off her mind. She may be but still a child, but even she knew when things were… bad. Not that she didn't like the new people who've come into their lives. But she knew this situation was dangerous too.

So here Illya was, sitting in her pajamas outside to sooth her worries. Her bare feet feeling nice in the cool air, then again she always seemed to handle cold weather better than anyone in her family. Behind her in his physical form was Berserker, who though was in a madden state of being. Knew well enough to keep any eye on his master in such a dangerous area; even if was just his masters backyard.

To be honest Berserkers few linger thoughts came down to his master and her ability to surprise him. Mainly with how easy going she was around him, she was so small he could if he'd wanted to too; snap her in half with two fingers alone. But instead of being scared or ever hesitant around him. His master seemed to treat him like anyone else, which again always seemed to surprised him out of his berserker state of mind every time so far.

"London bridge is falling down, falling down." Illya sung a little as she looked up at the stary night sky smiling, she was happy her big sis was out tonight with Hana. Since Rin always caught her doing this and made her get back inside the house minutes later "Hm, hmmm, hmm. Hm, hm, hm."

Illya though as she sat looking up at the night sky, wondered something. She wondered, about the grail and if she'd somehow won what she'd wish for. Honestly she had NO idea, she was pretty happy with her life and everything in it. From her amazing big sister, to Hana, the servants who'd she meet so far, Lena, Emily, Winston, her auntie Ashe and just everyone . She had so many people she'd come to love. That and her home life was comfortable; and nice. So honestly if anything she'd make a wish like world peace or maybe an endless supply of candy. She didn't know. Looking back up, she spotted Berserker always standing like a statue behind her.

"Hey Berserker. Do you like candy or wait. Was candy even a thing back in you time?" Illya asked, Berserker just looking at her as somehow that alone Illya was able to figure out the answer… or at least her best guess "Oh that's sad. You know, I like having you around but you know what you needed though. A buddy."

Berserker meanwhile once more in this span of a few days, raised an eyebrow. Illya giggling a little as it seemed Berserker was either confused on the word 'friend' itself or just the idea of having another servant as hers.

"Hehe, I know. Big sister say's that would make me really sick. But she said that too after I summoned you, but I feel just fine like I told her. She be a bit much at times with how much she mothers me… but, I don't mind it. Rin is my amazing big sister but… between us. I think of my big sis as my mom too in way. She always takes care or me and she taught me everything I needed to know when growing up. Not that everyone else didn't help. But Rin did the most, so yeah… she my mom too in a way. Silly I know." Illya stated, before sighing "I just wish we had a real mom. Big sis doesn't know, but I've caught her crying, calling for mom when we were younger. So… maybe I can wish for a mom for us. Yeah I think I'll-"

But as Illya began to declare her plan. Suddenly she stopped, feeling her right, arm start to burn badly. Crying a bit from how intense the pain was, she feel over to her side. Berserker meanwhile even in his madden state of mind. Knew himself that this was NOT normal. Moving over he knelt down and gently placed the tips of his fingers on Illya's back as that was honestly all he could do for her.

So as Illya began crying in pain, her right arm gaining a set of red marks on it. A summoning circle appeared just a bit away from her on the grass of the backyard. Berserker noticing and growling a bit, though more in confusion than anything else. Seconds later the summoning circle erupted into smoke as Berserker covered his eyes with his left arm and used his right hand to shield his crying master. It didn't take long before the smoke began to die down, with only the sounds of Illya crying filling the air. Though moments later, Berserker at least took notice of what his maddened mind could guess was a servant.

This servant was, well like Illya a little girl. Maybe a bit older by at least three years or so. But still a little girl with peach skin, purple hair that went down to the neck, that also had two black bows on each side and violet eyes. Wearing what could be considered a little… revealing. Her attire was sperate black neck collar and white bow tie. A pair of separate white pieces of cloth around both arms, a pair of black stockings and pair of black boots. While lastly she wore what looked to be a black ruffled dress of sorts, with a red belt around the waist and a golden pendant in the center of where the chest was. Leaving her thighs, upper torso above her breasts, shoulders and biceps exposed. Again it was a bit revealing for a young girl who seemed to be at least eleven or twelve at least, maybe a bit older than that.

As Berserker growled some more, mainly because he could tell she wasn't an enemy. He also was a bit wary at this new servant . Said new servant took a moment to look around a bit confused with her surroundings. Before noticing finally the cries of Illya. Moving over and around Berserkers right hand, like she had taken notice of him but wasn't scared or maybe more concerned for Illya. This new servant upon seeing Illya knelt down and of all things, began to gently sooth her as she stroked the side of her head.

"There, there. It's okay. No need to cry anymore sweetie." The young girl kindly said, as she stroked Illya's head a bit more before Illya began to just sniffle and sat back up slowly. Once up, Illya rubbed her eyes a bit as the young girl smiled still "Feeling a bit better master?"

"Y-Yeah… wait… m-master?" Illya answered, before realizing what the young girl just said "Y.. You're my servants. Like Berserker?"

"Indeed I am." The young girl answered, looking at Berserker and smiling still like she was already okay with the hulking mass of muscle. Before turning her attention back to Illya "I'm already taking notice this is an… odd Holy Grail War. For many reasons, but with that said aside from my confusion. My name is Helena Blavatsky. You are to be my master, so may I have your name."

"I-Illya Tohsaka." Illya answered, sniffling a little more as Helena stood up before helping Illya up on her own two feet; Berserker doing the same as he got back up too "Nice to m-meet you."

"And you as well Illya, such a pretty name for a sweet well manner girl like you." Helena happily exclaimed, before she felt a surge go through her body, Berserker feeling the same too much to Illya's sudden confusion

"W-What's wrong?" Illya asked as she took notice that both her servants stared at back at her home

Helena though didn't answer, looking to Berserker who just growled but looked at her for a moment getting an idea on what she was thinking. Without notice, Berserker then lifted up Illya onto his right shoulder, before doing the same with Helena on his left. Without a word more and Illya's continued confusion. The three moved onwards to the home, none of them realizing they were about to get quite a surprise…

---

It was like for so many others, night time in the city...

The cities own lights shinning as a sort of beacon, while still at the very same park two young ladies. Being Hana and Rin, along with now their servants Artoria and Archer; lingered there. Walking down around the lake side of the park.

"I still can't believe it." Saber stated as she was surprised once she and Archer came back, with sadly no groceries since they kind of forgot about it after like half an hour

Still once Saber and Archer had gotten back, they had noticed the rather off put looks on their masters faces. Asking about it after a few more minutes of snapping the two of said shock was easy enough. But the answer was quiet… well shocking. Saber herself at least couldn't believe that to be true. But she could tell Rin wasn't a liar when it came to the art of magecraft. So Saber at least couldn't help but believe the claim. The only thing that Saber had been wondering now was why she hadn't been able to tap into the near limitless prana that Hana held inside her. No answer to that yet, but maybe there was a reason.

"Same here Saber. I mean, I-I'm like some super magic conductor or something from what I'm gathering here." Hana replied back as she was wrapping her head around that tidbit of information, that and the fact it appears she has a living blood relative who happens to be her grandfather. That and the fact her grandfather seems to be some well know big shot amongst mages, she was just hoping she could meet the man soon

"Well I wouldn't say that exactly Hana. But you do have quiet an untapped source of power, question now is how we try getting it to seep out for use." Rin exclaimed as she was pondering what Hana could be capable of considering her unique circuit count

"Maybe not say that in an open area Rin." Archer suddenly said as everyone stopped looking at Archer who finally had spoken up during these past few hours

"Whys that?" Hana asked, as Archer stared at her for a few moments which for some reason; made Hana feel really uncomfortable "Well?"

"And here I thought you were supposed to be a smart girl." Archer quipped as Hana scowled a little, but before she or anyone else could reply back; Archer kept on "Anyways what I mean and you should have thought of this master. But imagine what will happen if someone in the mage community were to find out. Even now one or two could have familiars out here, listening in. So think. If one were to overhear hear then…?"

"Then… " Hana began to ay before she took a moment to realize from what Rin had also explain a bit on the more darker side of the mage community; which meant that it wouldn't be pretty "Oh…"

"Oh indeed. My I guess you do have a brain, sad you don't use it more." Archer jeered, smirking as Hana already felt her temper rise up from that rather blunt insult

"You know what Archer!" Hana screamed as she began walking fast towards Archer who was a bit surprised of Hana's actions

"Wait, wait!" Rin screamed suddenly as she was just about to grab Hana to stop her from attacking Archer, Saber already doing the same as she was going tackle Archer down to make sure she didn't attack her master

But as this was about to start, suddenly a chuckle echoed from the far left of the group. Making the group of girls all stop in their tracks. Looking at the sounds of the sound, they watched seeing someone come out. Someone that was a servant, or more to be exact the one called Cursed One. The man seeming amused as he slow clapped a bit. Before stopping . Staring at the for a sudden night filled silence.

"Oh don't mind me, just here watching the cat fight commence. My quill though is on miss tanned skinned, no offense kid." Cursed One exclaimed as Hana got the message and already wanted to deck this man in the face… real hard; meanwhile Saber and Archer transformed back into their servant attire summoning their weapons in hand moments later

"What are you doing here Cursed One?" Saber sternly demanded as Cursed One rolled his eyes at the question

"Well obviously to see you again shrimpy, that and get a good look at the eye candy too." Cursed One remarked, as Rin and Hana gave him the stink eye at least, Archer just raising an eyebrow while Saber looked visibly disgusted. But Cursed One smirked "Oh and if I'm not clear. I'm talking about blondy here, not you other three. You're kind of… eh."

-"OUCH!"- Hana, Rin and even Archer screamed in their heads. As that was a bit of a low blow if anything to their pride as people who take care of their appearance rather well

"Trust me… I'd take that then his now know attraction to me. Just ugh." Saber exclaimed as she now felt a bit dirty in a bad way knowing that it seemed this mad man was sexually attracted to her, oddly she felt like she dealt with a servant like this before hand but only for a moment

"You wound me my lady. But eh what can you do, anyways. I'm also here for an obvious reason, to kill you all." Cursed One remarked, laughing a little as the others tenses up

"Guess that Berserker side of yours has muddled your common sense, because if you haven't noticed. There's four of us and only one of you." Saber stated as she hopped this would at least sway the hybrid servant to rethink his plan of attack; they did not need this right now

"Only he's not alone this time servant of the sword." Another deeper toned man said, as walking out from the shadows and next to Cursed one. Was a tall, muscular dark skinned man wearing a black suit and shoes, with a red tie

"Let me guess, his master?" Archer asked calmly, though kept an eye on the master of Cursed One

"That is correct servant of the bow." The dark skinned man replied. With a small bow to the four young ladies, before looking right at Hana "My, my. How you've grown since I've last seen you Hana."

"Wait how do you know me?" Hana questioned. A bit nervous that this guy apparently knew her name and who she was, the dark skinned man simply chuckled though to the question

"Simple, we meet when you we're but child with a bandage still around your left eye. I don't blame you much for not remembering, you were only five. Though I remember it, meeting a little wounded girl who had lost her ball near my cell." The dark skinned man explained, as suddenly Hana's memory start to form an image of what this man was speaking about

.

.

.

It had been about two week since Hana was allowed to walk around the facility alone. Her now new mommy Angela had said she could, that and she bought her a new red ball to play with while Angela worked on getting something done. Though Hana had wished her new bestie Rin and her big sister Fareeha were here today. But they were busy with their own relatives stationed here for at least another week.

So as Hana bounced the ball on the ground, still getting used to the place itself as her temporary home for th time being. Hana didn't take notice of her left foot turning in bit as she stepped down on it and fell over. Letting out a little umf, while her ball bounced away. Getting back up, she groaned a bit from the slight pain she felt. Before realizing her ball was gone. Looking around, she walked inside a room ahead of her that had its door open.

When entered the room, the door closed behind her and Hana noticed the room didn't have much in it, aside for eight squares with old looking metal bars and all dark in each one. Looking around some more, she wondered if her ball was here. But she was quiet surprised when she suddenly saw her ball roll near her and close to the square ahead of her. A bit confused and scared, she moved closer picking up the red ball. Before looking around wondering who did that.

"Um… thank you whoever did that." Hana said a bit shyly, though didn't take notice of the large shape behind her kneeling down as form out of the bars the face of a dark skinned man could be seen staring at her

"You're welcome." The dark skinned man suddenly said to the young five year old, who's reaction was obvious

"AHHH!" Hana screamed, leaping up before falling on her back side looking back to see the dark skinned man who stared at her still

"Sorry. Didn't mean to scare you child." The dark skinned man stated, as Hana still a bit startled just stared back at him. The dark skinned man sighing as he decided to try again "Let's start over. I'm Akande Ogundimu, you are little one?"

"…" Hana didn't say at first as she was a bit scared of the man, but he did say sorry and she wondered if he could be her new friend. So calming herself down a bit more she decided to answer back, it was the polite thing to do after all "Hana… Hana Ziegler."

"Hm. Well that's a nice name for a sweet girl like you Hana Ziegler." Akande exclaimed, as Hana chuckled a bit before the man took notice of the bandaged around her eye "May I ask Hana. Why do you have bandage around you left eye?"

"Oh… um, I just got out a bad thing. A big fire. I don't remember much, but mommy say's that's normal after what I've been through. She said my new eye is why I still have this bandage on me. So it can get used to being part of my nervous system before I use it to see I guess." Hana explained, shyly once more as she really didn't like talking much on the big bad fire even if she remembered not that much on what occurred before being saved

Akande meanwhile realized Hana was speaking of the End War Fire that just happened not even two weeks ago. From what he heard before his capture three days ago. The war had stopped after that fire, the god AI's that had been there and the final one at that was taken out. That was what most considered the likely cause for the what was labeled the 'Tragic' End War Fire. To be honest Akande though it was sad only because no one was strong enough to survive it which meant a waste of such a good test of one's strength.

But now seeing and hearing that this child, this small little girl had somehow needed up the sole survive of such a large devastating fire. And seemed to only have lost a left eye, well Akande couldn't help but be impressed with the child. Without knowing yet, Akande could already tell at least that this child was going to become a strong one when she grows up. Maybe one day, he would even have the honor to face her in a fight to the death. If he were to either lose or win against her, he would be honored to die a warrior's death to such a strong person such as Hana. So smiling a bit more kinder he decided to just talk with the girl.

"I see, my you are an interesting one child. If you don't mind, maybe you can tell how you like it here already. You see to be lonely." Akande suggested, as just as he suggested It Hana smiled widely

"Sure!" Hana happily cheered as she began to just talk with Akande happy to make a new friend

For the most part it had been a happy rest of the week for Hana as every day when her mommy was busy at this time. Hana visited Akande, who always was glad to just talk with her about anything and everything. Then came the last day of the week, when Hana visited Akande once more.

"So you're saying you have to go today?" Hana asked a bit sad at this fact as she didn't want Akande to go, she wanted her newest friend to stay

"Sadly yes child. It's not a choice I have honestly, but don't be sad on that. Be happy for the time we had with each other my friend." Akande answered, as despite how he usually was with most people; he'd grown rather fond of Hana who despite how most looked at him with fear even when he'd done nothing to them. Hana just saw him as her friend and he had to admit, he saw Hana as his own friend

"But… but I don't-" Hana began to say, feeling a need to cry a little before suddenly someone else cut in

"Hana what are doing here!?" Angela yelled in a panic as Hana looked seeing her frantic mother run and pick her up into her arms. Hana already feeling comfy even if her mother was giving her slightly scolding look "This is not a place for you to be. Especially with… this man."

Akande just rolled his eyes, of course he learned that this woman had adopted Hana and also had a feeling this mother would not care for their friendship. His guess was right as already this woman was making him out to be the so called 'Bad Guy'.

"Huh, you mean my friend Akande?" Hana asked, Angela looking more shocked hearing this as Hana smiled "Yeah Akande has been really nice to me, he's talk to me and listen to me this whole week. He's one of newest friends!"

"He…he is?" Angela asked, a bit shocked to learn her baby girl had made friends with a very dangerous criminal, that and apparently she'd been doing this for a week. Angela couldn't help but scold herself for not noticing this, but not anymore she was going to make a note on making sure Hana didn't make such… dangerous friends

"Yes I am believe me or not good doctor." Akande stated a bit sternly as Angela narrowed her eyes a bit "I was just telling Hana my friend here. That I won't be around anymore after today."

"Is that true mommy, can't he stay?" Hana asked as she looked real sad to Angela who felt bad having to break the news to Hana

"I'm sorry hunny. But Akande here has… done some very bad things. So he has to go away for a while. A good while." Angela stated as Hana frowned a bit more at that news, but to Angela's surprised Akande cut in

"It is true Hana. I… did some bad things indeed. My price for it will be going away for a good while." Akande explained as he left as that, it was easier to tell Hana it this way. Smiling a bit he decided to help out a bit more here "Don't worry. I'll nice and happy where I go. I promise."

"I… okay, mommy can you put me down for a moment. Please." Hana requested, as Angela did just that even if she felt uneasy doing it and even more uneasy when she saw Hana walk over to the cell Akande was in. Akande holding out his right hand as Hana hugged it "Bye Akande, I'm gonna miss you… but I hope you remember me even later on when I'm older."

"I… I shall Hana my friend and remember this." Akande replied back feeling bit sad for once as Hana let go of his hand and both of them looked at each other. Akande smiling as kindly as man of his stature could "Like I said before, do not be sad for me being gone. But be happy for the time spent together my dear friend Hana."

Hana meanwhile sniffled a little, before just nodding with a small smile of her own. Angela making her way over simply motioned Hana to leave now. Hana did so and once she was gone, she would never hear what occurred next between her mother and newest friend.

"Alright, I'm taking the cuffs out. Come with me and you'll be taken to your new home." Angela simply ordered as she was worried Akande was just going to be a hassle. But instead, he just complied and made their way off seconds later. It didn't take to long for Angela to make it near the exit where the squad car to transport Akande was. But before she went through it. Angela decided to say one last thing to this man "Before I turn you over. I just… want to thank you for being so kind to my daughter Akande."

"Was my pleasure, your daughter is something else. Make sure to keep that child safe and good. A kindness and acceptance like hers, even after so much has happened to her as such a young age is a rare thing now a days." Akande replied back, before looking back at Angela "Also, if you want my opinion Hana is going to change this world one way or another. I can promise that Angela."

Without saying more. Angela just smiled a little with a nod, before making her way outside where she and Akande would separate and never see each other again.

.

.

.

"Akande…" Hana stated, Rin and Saber a bit shocked that Hana seemed to actually know this man while Archer stayed silent but staring at the two men before them

"Ah so you do remember. I am glad, glad to see you again my dear friend and to see that you have indeed grown into quiet the young woman I knew you could be." Akande said with a rather rare smile that Cursed One never had seen at least during their whole time paired up in this odd war "You even have your own servant, the most strongest of the seven at that. You really are proving to be everything I said you will be Hana."

"Okay enough. I don't know who you are and I don't care, friend or not you're here to kill us so let's get this over with!" Rin screamed, as even if she could tell Hana and Akande were friends. She knew this war he was their enemy and she would be damned if she let this man harm them

"But… Rin-" Hana tried to say, only for her to be cut off by Akande

"No Hana. Your friend there is correct, despite our own friendship. We are enemies in this war and with that said we must fight." Akande stated calmly, yet with a hint of remorse as he saw the hurt look on Hana's face

"Akande…" Hana began to say, couldn't. Then suddenly another chuckle occurred and everyone tense on Hana and Rin's side, looking to see oddly another person come out of the shadows to Akande's left

This new person was a man, tall and somewhat muscular for a young man of his age being what looked to be around maybe nineteen or twenty. He had somewhat tanned skin, brown eyes and long black hair. A few scares adorn his left cheek in the form of a three claw mark gash that healed enough that only the shape of the claws themselves were left to see. What he wore was a pair of brown pants, a pair of boots, a white undershirt and a dark forest green jacket. Around his neck was what looked to be a neckless that had old claws of dead animals on it. This man looked to be Indian in origins. But from which tribe of the past or such none knew. All that was known, was that he gave of an energy that only a servant does.

"Disturbed One." Akande simply said, calmly and stern like he usually did with Cursed One

"I apologize master. But I can't help but clap at such a display of friendship, I have no idea you care so much for the young girl there." Disturbed One exclaimed, not either mocking or complimenting the man; only pointing out fact

"Took you long enough. Where were you?" Cursed One asked

"Oh I was… hungry. So I stopped by for a snack I saw lying around." Disturbed One exclaimed, chuckling once more. Though to Hana, Rin and their servants, this time the chuckle sounded much more sinister in context of what he meant by 'snack'. Looking at the girls now, he smiled a bit a toothy grin as the girls could see a few his teeth seemed sharper then they should be "You four look very yummy too. Hehe."

"You…" Saber suddenly said loudly, gripping the hilt of her invisible blade as she had enough to realizing that this new man; the new servant was "You're a bloody cannibal aren't you!"

"What?" Rin muttered, as she was having a hard time trying to figure out how this man Akande now had TWO servants when he was supposed to only have one; hybrid or regular servant those were the rules

"Ah guilty as charge my lady. But can you blame me, people just have a much more… fresh taste to them." Disturbed once exclaimed, laughing a bit more sadistically as Saber, Hana and Rin at least glared back at the man who's name fitted him so well

"Enough." Akande ordered as Disturbed One ceased his laughter moments later before looking like he was getting ready to help out Cursed One. Akande looking at Hana with a softer gaze

"Akande… don't do this. Please." Hana pleaded, as she did not want to fight one of her old friends at all

"For what it's worth Hana. I am sorry." Akande said. Before he changed his whole attitude and donned a more colder gaze before utter out his next orders

.

.

"Kill them."

.

.

Without a seconds more to delay. Both Cursed One pulling out his usual knife and pistol. Alongside Disturbed one pulling out what looked to be two daggers, charged at the group of four girls. Saber and Archer charging back as yet again another battle in the last three days of this odd ever so escalating commenced.

Clashes of blades echoed in the night, followed by Sparks. Archer taking on Cursed One this time, while Saber had already decided to deal with Disturbed One herself. Minuet's felt like hours as the three masters stood on both sides watching. But only Hana and Rin were worried. As they watched the newest servant Disturbed One seeming to have now start fighting Archer at the same time alongside Saber. Both her and Cursed One doing the same idea, which considering that at least it was confirmed Cursed one was a Hybrid of a Berserker and something else. Adding Disturbed One who they had no idea on, was showing that this servant was possible a Berserker hybrid too.

"Come on ladies, I though you were two the knight classes!" Disturbed One jeered. Laughing madly as he clashed blades with Saber, who was glaring back at him

"Sheesh and you give me a hard time for teasing you!" Archer yelled as she dodged one of Cursed One's gun shots, before throwing a rock at him at a fast rate. Cursed One block the blow, but was pushed back on his feet

"Now is not the time Archer!" Saber argued back, pushing back Disturbed One who she took a swing at, before he blocked it and kicked back a bit and closer to Archers back

"My, my. Arguing in the middle of life and death battle. Are you sure you're not a married couple. You act like it." Disturbed One remarked, smirking a Saber blushed a bit in embarrassment and anger towards the disgusting man

"Huh, guess they do. Maybe she don't swing that way." Cursed One mused, straightening himself up and rubbing the back of his head "Well that puts a damper on my plans to court dear Saber."

"See they even see it too, we're meant to be my lovely Saber!" Archer joked a bit, though was blushing a little as she looked at Saber for a moment

"Seriously, seriously right now you find common ground with these two on this?!" Saber yelled back as she and Archer began to just argue like bickering couple

"Seriously…" Hana and Rin muttered, having no idea that they're servants would do this. Okay well maybe Archer, but Saber was a shock that's for sure

Akande meanwhile sighed, he wondered how these two women were so called Heroic Spirits as they argued. That and he wondered why his servants hadn't just attacked the two yet when they were distracted with their arguing. But he knew already, he most likely believed his servants were just enjoy the show before them. That or they were doing this to somewhat irritated him for fun. Either way, he hoped the two servants of his would get this battle going again.

"Alright enough, we'll talk about this later Archer." Saber stated. Ending the small argument that she had no idea why she even encouraged by yelling back at the woman child

"Yes my love." Archer teased, Saber's left eye twitching a bit before a loud 'Ahem' from Cursed One. Archer and Saber remembering they were in company, which at least for Saber made her mortified she behaved this way even if it was amongst enemies and especially with their masters here too

"As fun as that was to watch. We have to kill you soon, night doesn't last long and we have business in the morning. So, please let us just kill you. We'll make sure your masters death are quick." Cursed One stated calmly like what he spoke of meant nothing, but a night stroll out

"And we'll even clean up the bodies, free of charge ladies." Disturbed One quipped, as Hana and Rin flinched a bit when they saw the new servant look at them for a moment flashing his sharp tooth grin

"Well die before you we let you!" Saber yelled in defiance, as she narrowed her eyes and got her sword ready; Archer doing the same with her blade

"Duh, that's kind of the point gals." Disturbed One mused, getting his daggers ready while Cursed One did so too

Though as the fight was about to start up; Hana at least as she watched felt again… helpless. Clenching her fists and biting her lip. She didn't take notice of the sudden surge of prana that filled the world itself. Her own circuits throughout her body reacting to them moments later.

.

.

"Not again."

.

.

Unknown to Hana, she had cause a chain reaction of prana surges. Starting with her and Rin. As their circuits began to react. The skin on Rin's right starting to burn as she the sleeve up a bit showing similar red markings forming on her. Then she looked at Hana, who also was in pain as her right arm smoked up too.

"What in the world?" Akande muttered as he and his servants took notice of what was happening

"Hana, Rin?" Saber said, as she and Archer looked seeing this too and were confused beyond belief. Especially Archer as she looked very confused, and as much a Saber would have enjoyed for once seeing another facial expression on the usual smug servant; right now she more concerned on what was going on; though by this point they all noticed the two summon circles appearing and already sparking up with life

"Cursed One, Disturbed One stop them!" Akande yelled, as his two servants gave him a quick nod leaping towards the girls just as Saber; and Archer were about to stop them

Though as this occurred, Saber and even Archer screaming for their master to move. While Cursed One and Disturbed One were mere feet away from the two ready for the kill. The summoning circles exploded into smoke as the everyone either covered their eyes or stopped in their tracks. It wasn't even a few seconds, before two arrows were shot out at Cursed One and Disturbed One. Which only resulted in Cured One getting hit in the left leg as he fell to his knees from the sudden hit.

While Disturbed One dodged before charging at two now two dark blobs within the smoke. Leaping as his plunged his daggers at the one closer to him. Only for his daggers to be stopped and locked against a katana. Struggling, Disturbed One scowled a little, before barley hearing the strings of a bow being pulled back. Pushing back, Disturbed One only got a arrow to his left shoulder.

"GAH!" Disturbed One screamed from the sudden pain of the arrow head digging into his skin, as he fell on his back; before sitting back up a bit while fighting through the pain "S-Son of bitch… WHO SHOT ME?!"

Instead of a verbal answer though. The smoke finally vanished, showing two pairs of eyes staring at the attacking servants.

The first one stood closer to Rin and was older woman; who'd been the one to wield the katana. Actually it looked like she had two katanas. Since she had one in her right hand and another in it's sheath on her left side, where the other sheath was.

Anyways this woman pale skinned, with light blue-greyish eyes and pale long pink hair, with it tied up in the back by a large black and slightly red circular head band; with lastly two red earrings. She wore two detached black and gold tinted sleeves that went from her wrists to the middle of her biceps. With a pair of similar color long socks that covered her feet and went up to a bit past her knees just a bit shy of her bare thighs. She also sported a pair of black heeled sandals with red straps. Finally she wore a blue sleeveless less kimono, with red and a bit of orange tint to it, along with some black cloth around the neck and sides where her bare shoulders were. Finally she had a wide violet cloth tied around her waist with white flowers embroiled on it. With a gold strap around the center that held her katana sheaths, and to top it off a small gold pendant with black star painted on, held it together in the front.

Then came the other newest servant, who stood closer to Hana. Another somewhat older woman. She was exotic to say the least. From her light olive skin, emerald green eyes and long wild blonde hair with green that tinted most of the front. She wore a black dress, with aqua green around the shoulders, the two large sections of the skirt piece and that lined a bit of the black part of her dress. Her dress also had large orange and golden symbol on the front. Two sets of black leather braces wrapped around both her biceps, while she also wore two sets of black clawed gloves, with the wrist parts a bit enlarged in the shape of circles. Though her right arm piece had a bit more that covered her right forearm mostly. Next she wore a pair of long black leather like stocking with the same aqua green lining them; and a pair of black slightly heeled shoes that had gold at the bottom of them. In her right hand she held a large black and yellow lined bow, with black string yet oddly no quiver to be seen. Though the oddest thing of this woman, was the blonde lion like tail that swung behind her and the pair of blonde lion like ears on the top of her head.

As the everyone looked at the two new servants, it was the one near Hana who looked back. Inspecting Hana, then Rin before smiling a little. Turning her attention back at Cursed One and Disturbed One moments later; she narrowed her eyes to a glare. While the other new servant just stared at the two.

"I do not know why there are so many servants here. But is obvious you two we're trying to kill these children. For that you will die." Hana's new servant stated, as she aimed her bow while an arrow formed into her left hand. Then pulling back the string and arrow, she aimed it at the two. Rin's new servant getting a stance ready to attack the two as well. But Hana's new servant wasn't done yet speaking "So now enemy servants, veil men you are and monsters. Die here and now."

With that, the battle continued one. Rin was utter confused at what was even happening anymore. Akande seemed worried a bit for once. Saber also utterly confused. While Archer once more the night, was extremely shocked by what she was seeing. Then there was Hana, oh dear Hana.

The young girl even through the pain couldn't help but feel awe of all things as she watched the battle commence with the two newest servants. Though she didn't realize that what had occurred and her circuits being a conductor for it. Had just made things in the near future to become much, much worse. There would be blood of the innocent, the rivers would become red not just in Britain, but around the world also. Along with new enemies and allies that would emerge.

But all in all, everything that would happen from here on out, the good and the bad. In the end it would all be Hana's doing from this one stary sky filled night…

---

And here we are at the end of the chapter. So what ya think. Yeah or eh; or maybe even in a bit in the middle. Yeah I know, I had said I was only going to do the OG servants. BUT… I couldn't resist. But I will say there will be a few more OC servants and cannon servants that come in. But who and when you may possibly be wondering, well you're just going to have to wait until the next chapters to come.

Oh also for those of you who know some of the new servants that are technically cannon in the Fate media, good on ya. But just because, I'll be putting below the names of the new masters, current masters and the new servants decided names. Along with some extra info on the masters both know and new too. Excluding OC servants though. Speaking of, when it comes to the OC servants. If you are wondering, Disturbed One is one of the OC servants. Again you'll have to wait to find out more about him.

Oh and for the last two secondary servants Hana and Rin summoned viva the Grail's accidently tantrum and leaking out its energy since it has quiet as you could see; hatred for Hana's birth last name. If hadn't noticed, Hana now has an Archer along with her Saber, while Rin has a Saber now along with her Archer. So yeah, I didn't realize it until I got done fixing up this chapter some more. But yeah I didn't put their names down since I couldn't find a good spot too. Speaking of, the list now.
