Author's Notes:

Hey! Everyone I hope that you all have a wonderful time. I see that some of you can't seem to decide, well, that's okay I can wait for your response. Or better yet if you can't decide. Well, I'm going to take it upon myself to well... To write the Babylonia or Camelot during or after Orleans as well as any other singularities, that are not adapted. Now, as all of you, anime fans may know by now. Miroku's English Voice Actor Kirby Morrow died on November 18. This was a huge shock for me. Because I thought that the entire Inuyasha gang is back for Yashahime, I should have seen the signs he sounds a bit off when he reprised his role. Man, it is just like with Keiji Fujiwara and Chadwick Boseman all over again. Now they have to going to replace him just like what happen with Moneca Stori. Huge condolence to his friends and family.

Now then back to the story, last chapter, the heroes decided to split up. With them each having a conversation with each other. With them having a heart to heart with each other. Now that they finished talking it is now time for them to make their move.

Quartzer 10

!431: A meeting and how a queen lives her life

3rd POV

Near Thiers Puy de Dome, France

Year 1431

Zi-O and Ritsuka's group are now currently outside the Thiers Puy de Dome. As they wait for Jeanne's group to appear, Mash said, "Jeanne and the others will be arriving soon it seems. Let's do our best, too. We'll soon arrive in Thiers."

"Thiers...lf I recall, it's famous for its knives. So far it looks like it hasn't been destroyed." Amadeus replied.

"Doctor, any signs of Servants?" Mash asks Roman.

"I'm checking... All right, there are two Servants in Thiers. Let us make contact right away—"

...Flames just went up in that town, didn't it?" Mash said.

"This noise... I hate it! An unprecedented noise, the premonition of an unprecedented demon! Oh, Muses! Please show mercy! My body cannot stop trembling from fear." Amadeus shouted causing the others to swat drop and face palm.

"Jeez you really are annoying." Decade, Artoria Alter, Cross-Z and Geiz muttered.

"Enough guys! Let's check it out!" Zi-O said.

"I agree let's hurry now!" Ritsuka said.

"O-Okay! Everyone, follow me!" Mash

As they go inside the inside, they saw two girls arguing one having green hair, horns and a kimono while the other has red hair, black horns and has gothic Lolita clothing as they argue th latter shouted, "You! You, you, you! Your cheeky squirrel from the East!"

"Hehehe! Who is the actual cheeky one? Do you really think a failure like you can beat—A true Dragon like myself, Elisabeth?"

"Ughhhhh! I'm so upset! I will deal with Carmilla later, you die first! You, creepy stalker!"

"I'm not a stalker. I'm "a devoted bodyguard who acts like a spy." I, Kiyohime, am a woman who lives for love." The green haired girl named Kiyohime told the other girl Elisabeth off.

"Your love violates human rights!"

"I don't want to hear it from a pervert with a fetish for blood torture. I imagine that you were doing it... as doing THAT. Weren't you?" Kiyohime shouted.

"What's "doing it?" What's "doing that?" Don't talk nonsense!" Elisabeth shouted back.

"...What? Elisabeth, I did not know that you were—"

"Ahhhhhhh! Shut up, shut up, shut up! I'm going to—kill you!"

"You can't kill me because I'll kill you!"

They then get ready as they shouted, "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

As the heroes watch this happening, Decade and Den-O are now getting really annoyed at this. With Den-O saying, "Umm... Can we stop them now?"

"I agree, these girls should need some adult supervision." Ichijo said.

"Enough! Stop right there! I cannot let you go further. What you are doing is sacrilege against all of voice and sound!" Amadeus shouted.

"Are they saints or what?" Zi-O asked.

"Yeah, they aren't saints, right?"

"No way! Religions will tumble if they are saints." Amadeus said.

"Anyway, we must stop them! Hey, you two!" Mash shouted.

"Yeah! Stop with all the whining you brats!" Den-O also shouted.

"Huh? What?" Elisabeth said.

"I am busy right now. Come back the day before yesterday."

"Hmph. You will no longer be busy soon Until the next Holy Grail War that is!"

"...Hmph. Frilled-necked lizard."

"Japanese Rat Snake!"

"Mexican Bearded Lizard."

"Sharp-Nosed Viper!"

As the arguing goes on, Mash, Artoria Alter and Den-O are now getting irritated with Mash shouting as she alongside Cross-Z, Agito, Ichijo, Beast, the Artoria trio and Siegfried started to try and separate the two, "Okay, stop!"

"Will you two brats just little pipe down!" Den-O shouted.

"Yes, your constant whining is now hurting my ears." Artoria Alter agreed.

"Ahhh... My ears will rot... You scum... Oh no, I am forbidden to say that. I promised Maria." Amadeus said while shaking his head.

"These kids sure are a handful right, Tsukasa?" Diend smirked.

"Yes, I agree."

"By the way, Mash." Amadeus said.

"What now?" Mash asked as she tries to still separate the two alongside the others.

"To our great joy, enemies are coming." Amadeus said as he pointed to a group of monsters running towards them. The others then stop trying to stop the fight of the two girls.

"Black Mamba!"

"Japanese Grass Lizard!"

"Let's go! By the time we come back, I am hoping they'll be done, too!" Amadeus shouted.

"Yeah! Let's go!"

Ritsuka POV

Inside the Thiers Puy de Dome, France

Year 1431

As the heroes started to fight the monsters, Mash saw wyverns coming towards them, "More are coming! It's the wyverns this time!"

"No sign of any other Servants besides those two. Don't worry, go ahead and fight!"

"Yes, it's fine to go all out!" Ryutaros shouted.

"I am getting a powerful reading. Brace yourselves!"

"Ok we got it!" Zi-O said.

"Yes Doctor!" Ritsuka said.

They then continue to fight the monsters. With Mash noticing that monsters are running away, "Looks like the enemy assault has stopped..." They then turn towards Elisabeth and Kiyohime who are still arguing

"Grr, grr, grr, grr, grr!"

"Hmmmmmm."

"Umm... Are they really going to continue this." Agito asked

"We can't let those two to fend for themselves, can we?"

"...I can't. I have had it. I am about to vomit. Yes, I am leaving those people to you all..."

"I agree I think we need to stop these Brats from causing anymore headaches."

"Since I am useless and cannot fight, I will not say a thing. ...Sorry." Siegfried said.

As the arguing continues, the heroes are now getting really annoyed at all of this. With Den-O shouting, "Both of you Brats! Knock it off!"

"I agree you two should not fight." Zi-O and Ritsuka said. Elisabeth and Kiyohime then looks at them with confusion.

"Huh?"

"Did you just say something?"

"Well, that you shouldn't fi—" Mash was about to finish her sentence Elisabeth shouted.

"Back off, Puppy!" Elisabeth shouted, causing the heroes to be in a state of shock. With Wizard saying.

"Woah! Did she just shout back at Mash"

"Recklessness and bravery aren't the same. Are you stupid?"

"Hey that's not very nice!" Beast said.

"It is a mammal at least." Zi-O said.

"I agree at least it's better than reptiles." Ritsuka agreed.

"M-Master, Tokiwa-san? Hey Master Tokiwa-san, are you two not a little upset?" However, the heroes then saw that Elisabeth and glaring at them.

"...Now I am pissed."

"You said it. You will regret your words from the bottom of Hell. Elisabeth, let us get started!"

"Fine! Just don't get cocky just because you beat some wimpy wyverns! I'll show you the terror that a Dragonkin can inflict!"

"Did they just team up?" Mash asked.

"I think so... Geez they are really a handful." Decade groaned.

"Yup... This brats rally need a spanking."

"I agree with that one, Tsukasa." Artoria Alter agreed.

The heroes then started to engage the two. With the two girls trying their hardest at trying to fight. Kiyohime tries to burn them with blue flames, Elisabeth assisted with her lance, however due to the sheer large numbers of the heroes. As this continues the two kids are now getting tired.

"Are you kids done?" Wizard, Beast, Cross-Z, Decade, Artoria, Artoria Lily, Artoria Alter and Amadeus said.

"Y-You got me... Ooooh." Kiyohime said while panting.

"N-Not bad, you know... I'll let you call it a day now..." Elisabeth smiled.

However as this was going on, somebody shouted, "KIYOHIME-SAN! ELISABETH-SAN! ONII-CHAN?"

The heroes then turn and saw what appears to be a girl with short hair, white dress with a blue vest and brown shoes.

"Who is that girl?" The servants

"Sayo-chan!?" the two girls shouted

"Wait... Sayo?" Decade said.

"Sayo as in your sister?" Ritsuka, Mash, Geiz and Zi-O asks Decade.

"Yes, that's correct. Sayo what are you doing here? It is dangerous" Decade said as he hugs Sayo.

"Well, Onii-chan. When I heard you were on another crisis, so I join Natsumi-san and the others."

"But I don't want you to get involved into any of this!" Decade said.

"Please, I want to help... I don't want to feel useless."

Decade hesitated for a bit, when Diend put his hand on his shoulder as if trying to convince Decade.

"Fine! But be careful okay."

Sayo nodded at this.

"Okay everyone that's enough chit-chat, now that things have settled, I'd like to hear from you. Would you mind?" Mash said to the girls.

Elisabeth then asks, "...What?"

"I am a loser snake, in other words, you are kicking defeated snake when it is down?" Kiyohime said.

"What are you talking about?" Cross-Z asked.

"Loser snake? Um, have you ever seen any other Servants besides yourselves?" Mash asked.

"Well, I've seen crazy Servants. Like this one." Elisabeth snarked.

"Hey that's not nice Elisabeth-san." Sayo said.

"Stay out of this! Sayo!" Elisabeth shouted causing Sayo to be silent.

"Would you mind not lumping me in with them? I'm a Berserker with my reasoning intact." Kiyohime shouted.

"What's your problem?"

"What is it?"

"...Oh, now I remember. When I was alive, I saw them often. Catfights! They were beyond loud." Amadeus said.

Den-O and Artoria let out a big sigh, "Geez you are overreacting again." Den-O said.

"Just you wait, in time they'll latch on to your head and make noises like, "gyaggggegggo!""

This sentence made throws the heroes to a loop. With Sayo face palming.

"I will not! But that's called shamisen, right? Shamisen?"

"I have said this many times, but would you not lump me in with them?"

"Anyways! You have not seen any Servants other than the "Dragon Witch" or Carmilla's group, right?" Mash asked.

"Yeah we want to know." Zi-O said.

However, the duo still keeps ignoring them with Mash saying, "Master... Everyone. It looks like we have just wasted our time."

"Yes, these children are not worth our time." Artoria Alter muttered.

"Well this suck." Ritsuka and Zi-O said.

"Yeah what a shame." Artoria and Agito agreed.

"Elisabeth aside, treating me like that is a little bit rude, don't you think?" Kiyohime said.

"What's that about shame! You met ME, and it's a shame!?" Elisabeth shouted.

"You see we're looking for Saint." Ritsuka said. with the other Chaldea members and Kamen Riders nodding.

"I agree with Ritsuka here... We're only interested in Saints not brats."

"Oh. It takes guts to make that comeback... But in any case, a saint? I only know of one saint, if you mean someone whose teachings took root deep within this nation." Kiyohime replied.

"Really?" Mash said.

"You do?" Zi-O, Cross-Z, Wizard and Beast shouted.

"Yes. I met him before coming across Elisabeth and Sayo. I almost fought him, but he realized I was a "genuine" Berserker and he sheathed his sword. His True Name is Georgios. I believe he is quite a famous saint around here."

This caused Ghost and Romani to gasp with Ghost saying, "Wait a minute, did you just say Georgios? As in the St. George that famously killed a Dragon?"

"Georgios! The saint referred to as St. George. ...Yes, he would be perfect. Do you know where he went?"

"Yeah we want to know, Kiyohime-san."

"That's the real shame. He went the opposite direction as me, to the west."

Mash and the others were surprised at this with the former saying, "The west... That's where Jeanne and the others went. Commencing communication!"

Marie POV

Meanwhile on the west side of Thiers, France

Year 1431

As we go to Jeanne's group, we saw that they have received Mash's message with Jeanne saying, "...Yes, we're fine. We detected a Servant over here as well. I'm about to make contact right now."

"Okay then let's go find this Saint..." Kuuga was about to finish his sentence when someone shouted.

"Please stop right there. Who are you?"

They turn towards the direction of the voice and saw that it was a tall man with long brown hair, orange armor and a white cape and cloak covering it. Jeanne and the others are now speechless with Marie answering, "I am a Servant. My class is Rider, but my True Name is Marie Antoinette."

"This must be him." Kivala said.

"Yeah." Tsukuyomi, Medusa and Kuuga agreed.

"...I see, you are not under Madness Enhancement."

"Yes. I am on the side opposing them, and this is—" Marie said.

"I see... She is the holy maiden. Best we keep her name undisclosed. Though I don't know about the other four. This city has been razed by the Witch and her dragon.
I was able to make them retreat, but that won't happen again." The man Georgios agreed.

"...Then, will you come join us? Our "Dragon Slayer" is cursed, and we need to remove it immediately. However, multiple curses are entwined together, so both you and I must be present..." Jeanne asked.

"I understand the situation. ...The residents have already started to evacuations. Let us depart once that has completed."

"Thank you very much!"

"Yeah we owe you." Tsukuyomi said.

But as they are about to walk, they sensed something as they look up and saw Wyverns approaching them, "A wyvern attack? There's been a lot of violence lately. "

"No, that wasn't it. This sensation... It's the "Dragon Witch!"" Jeanne shouted.

"If there is someone that can lead those Wyverns it's her." Kivala said.

"What did you say?"

"Let's retreat, Georgios! We don't stand a chance against her right now!" Jeanne shouted.

"I agree we need to retreat so that we can strategize!" Medusa shouted.

"...But we can't do that yet." Georgios shouted back.

Jeanne and the others look at them, "Oh..."

"The civilians aren't evacuated. The mayor has entrusted me with their protection. I must fulfill that wish— Or else, I won't be able to stay a saint."

Jeanne as well as the others were hesitant about this, "But..."

"...I know. If I stay, I will die. But even so—I can't abandon them."

"Lord Georgios, you are a man who is thick in head and body."

"What was that?"

"Yes, what are you saying?" Kuuga asked.

"But the part of you that is terribly cute has touched my heart." Marie smiled she then continued, "And so— Please allow me to take over that duty."

This caused the others to widen their yes, "What?"

"What are you saying, Marie-san?" Tsukuyomi asked.

"You can't be serious!?" Medusa said.

"I am the Queen of France. Even though that is in the "future" from here, for me neither "past" nor "present" make much difference. Protecting the citizens is an important duty for me too,
and you are now given a duty that can change everything. St. Georgios, go with Jeanne d'Arc and her group, and please lift the curse from the "Dragon Slayer." In the name of Marie Antoinette, I will make sure to protect this city." Marie said as she faces the Wyverns

However, Jeanne and the others are having none of it with Jeanne saying, "P-Please wait up! Wait, hey wait! Marie!"

"Marie-san! Please don't do this!" Kuuga shouted.

"Marie, let us stay and fight with you! You cannot do it alone, but sure the five of us can—"

"Yeah you don't have to do this alone!" Kivala pleaded.

"Non. That makes me very happy, but you cannot, Jeanne, everyone. I am sure I was summoned for precisely this moment. Not to harbor hatred or defeat enemies, but to protect the people. So that at this time, I will protect those dear to me. To save my dear country, I will do what is right. Oh, but please apologize to Amadeus for me. I never got to hear him play after all. He was 6, and I was 7. Since then, we've passed each other, but never met." Marie smiled.

Jeanne and the other heroes are now getting really desperate with Jeanne shouting, "Marie!"

"Lord Georgios, do you agree to this arrangement?" Marie asks the Saint.

"...If you are fine with it, I will humbly yield this role to you." Georgios replied.

"...Marie..."

"Now go, Jeanne. Everyone. As short as our time was, it was the greatest honor to fight under your flag." Marie smiled.

"Yes. ...I will be waiting."

"Me too, please come back alive, Marie-san!" Tsukuyomi shouted.

"Don't worry, I'll catch up soon." Marie smiled as the others started to run.

"Sanson, you're here." She said as she saw Sanson approaching her. the latter looking ever so emotionless.

"Of course. Execution needs qualifications for both the executioner, and the executed. No other person has the right to execute you. You should have realized that Marie." Marie giggled at this statement.

"...Let's see ...Hold on a second, Sanson. I know that you are a wonderful executioner. I mean, you're cruel, merciless, and inhuman, but you never once mocked criminals. You guarded the guillotine with great respect, so I do indeed trust you. But does that mean you alone hold the right to kill me? Isn't that a bit absurd?"

"It's not absurd. I was born into a family of executioners, and I was only taught how to execute. No compromise. It is not only about dedication, but I am also about the method—the technique. It is natural for a good executioner to not inflict pain on the criminal. I see beyond that. I see the—ecstasy. The moment it feels so good that "it will kill you." That is the type of beheading I dedicate myself to. The best slice of my life was my "kiss" for you." Sanson declared.

"..." Marie look down as if contemplating.

"So, this is destiny. I couldn't help but want to see you so I could ask... Please, tell me, Marie. How was my beheading? Were you able to climax at the very end?"

Marie then look up and replied, "...l can see that you seriously showed respect for me Sanson, from the bottom of your heart. But I'm sorry. That's just impossible. It's something that I cannot possibly say... I already know enough men with perverse hobbies. Terribly sorry, but I can't accept a second kiss from you."

"Yes, I know. But I'm sure you will be delighted; I've gotten even better than back then. That is why I was summoned as a Servant. I shall give you the final ecstasy once again!" Sanson shouted with a deranged smile.

Mash POV

Meanwhile on the other side of Thiers, France

Year 1431

We then turn our attention to Zi-O and Ritsuka's group are now running towards the location of Jeanne's group, "If we hurry, we might still make it in time." Mash shouted as she ran with the group.

"Right, if we lose them for the sake of my revival, that would be a great loss." Siegfried agreed.

"I agree with that." Cross-Z said.

"Yeah, Marie-san and the others need our help!" Zi-O shouted.

"I have a reading... Unfortunately, an enemy. Please hurry and defeat it!" Romani shouted. as a group saw what appears to be a Wyvern.

"You got it Doc, full Power!" Den-O shouted.

"Understood!" Ritsuka replied.

"Yes Master! Everyone! Now, please stand back!" Mash smiled as she alongside the Kamen Riders, Amadeus and the Artoria trio get ready.

Marie POV

Meanwhile on the west side of Theirs, France

Year 1431

Back at the fight between Marie and Sanson, the latter is now getting really tired with Marie looming at him with a seemingly sad look in her eyes. Sanson grit his teeth as he starts to shout as he attacks again, "That's, impossible! How could I be defeated?" Marie then dodged another slash as she kicks Sanson in the face and throws crystal spikes at him causing wounds to pop out.

"I have killed so many since that day, and become so much stronger... So why?" Sanson shouted as he covered his face and begins to tear up.

"How sad, Charles-Henri Sanson. I should've told you when we reunited. Our relationship ended that day. Because your blade was truly rusty. You've killed so many people that it's lost its way. You've increased your proficiency as a killer. Executioners and killers are not the same, Sanson. the more skilled you become at killing others— The rustier your blade as an executioner, savior of criminals, becomes. By the time you followed the Dragon Witch, you were no longer the Sanson I knew." Marie declared with a sigh.

However, Sanson glared at as if that offended him, "No... Lies! It cannot be! I kept my faith that you would come! That's why I kept honing my skills! To see you and behead you with more skill— Give you a much better ecstatic moment! I thought that by doing so, you would surely forgive me!"

Marie giggled, "...Geez. You really are a pitiful, adorable person. I don't hold a grudge against you. From the beginning, you never had the need to be forgiven by me." She then conjured up a crystal sword and proceed to stab him.

"Ah... aah, ah—" Sanson then disappeared in a bright light.

"...That makes three. It is ironic how the ones who show potential are the first to fall." A voice said, Marie turn, and it was Jeanne Alter.

"Yes. Perhaps the two vampires you loathe may be the last ones standing. Good day, "Dragon Witch. "It seems you got here a little too late." Marie snarked.

""I Myself" has already escaped. —How pitiful."

"No, that is not true. She left here embracing hope." Marie smiled.

"Just by gaining one Servant...? How ridiculous. Speaking of ridiculous, it's amazing that you are still here. Are you intoxicated with the idea of saving these citizens? You, the person killed by her citizens. A woman put to the guillotine, beheaded in ridicule!" Jeanne shouted taunting Marie.

The Queen then gives a smile, "So disappointing. Witches don't understand such simple logic. It's true that I was executed. There was ridicule, and there was disdain. However— that gives me no reason to murder them in return. I became a queen because the people asked me to A queen cannot be without her people. Thus, it was inevitable. If they don't want you, then you exit even if you don't want to. That is the destiny of those serving their country. I believe my execution led to my people's next smile. No matter when, viva la France! Stars glimmer, and that will do. That's all we need. Now I am certain. Say—"Dragon Witch." "Who are you exactly?""

This statement causes Jeanne Alter to be pissed, "...Shut up!" She then causes wildfires to pop up.

"—Deploy Noble Phantasm."

CRYSTAL PALACE (クリスタル・パレス) (愛すべき輝きは永遠に)

Suddenly A huge crystal palace appears surrounding the two women.

"...Goodbye Jeanne, it was lovely meeting you. Then I will gladly shed the last of my radiance and fall. Like a star, like a flower. Like a fleeting dream. That is what a Servant is, and how Marie Antoinette lives—!" Marie shouted as she gets ready to fight Jeanne Alter
