Three Servants faced off against one another.

The powerful Heracles.

The mysterious and seductive Rider.

The charming bumbly Saber.

All three looked at one another while another stare down is happening. Illya giving a innocent yet terrifying smile at Shirou who grimaced with Ozpin staying calm. Even then though, staying calm won't help anybody. Saber and Rider were good, but the former is weakened and the latter was nowhere as fast or strong against Heracles, a legendary hero who has done the impossible.

Everybody just did nothing, as if waiting for something to go off.

"Berserker." Which is why Illya started it, by giving a simple command. "Kill them all."

That command was all that was needed for the fight to happen then and there. One moment Berserker alongside the other female Servants had been standing in their respective spots.

BOOM!

The next, Berserker's fist dug into Rider who spat out saliva from the bone crushing punch. Sent away at high speeds and crashed into the back of the Matou building. Of course during that time Saber had moved in and made her blades clash against Heracles own weapon sending sparks flying. With Rider gone Berserker looked at Saber and gave a roar more akin to a beast than a human.

"Like that's going to make me give up!" Even then though, Musashi refused to give in to her fear and gleefully jumped up and began slashing at Berserker who howled as the blades cut against his skin.

An explosion could then be heard and from the Matou building a displeased Rider came out and landed a solid kick on Berserker's chin. One that actually made a loud impact noise and made the Berserker's head twist on impact. Eyes glowed with anger at the attack and Berserker grabbed Rider's leg and used her as an improvised ball and sent her into Musashi's gut sending both women to crash into the fence nearby.

Not that it kept the two down for long as both just got up and rushed at Berserker. The might Greek hero then trying to cut them down with his blade, and while lacking any skill with it due to his madness, swung it so fast that Musashi barely stopped it and even then felt herself pushed back by the force of the damn weapon. Rider used that chance to try and stab Heracles with her nails on his jugular.

The skin itself stopped the pointed end, at Rider then had to jump back as Heracles swung his blade at her. Musashi saw an opening and poured her energy into her swords. By themselves, her weapon technically couldn't cut through Heracles skin which can ignore Noble Phantasms of a certain rank. By using this method though, her swords became capable of even slicing through the son of Zeus's skin which she then slashed across his chest.

Heracles snarled as he once more tried to swing his blade down at her. Only to feel himself unable to as suddenly chains appeared from nowhere and tied down his arm from continuing his swing. Rider having chained him down, and while Heracles quickly broke through the chains, Musashi had already moved to avoid the attack.

Rider then jumped up and from her hands came many chains down that wrapped across Heracles throat which she then pulled as she landed. Mighty the Greek Hero is, yet even he needed to breathe. So the demi-God attempted to get those chains off only for Musashi to come in with her own weapons forcing the Berserker to use his own weapon to defend himself.

Realizing a bit of his vision is darkening though, Heracles roared as he then stomped forward pulling Rider for a nasty ride. Where Berserker chased after Musashi while Rider ended up being dragged along and hitting the dirt. Berserker then grabbing the chain and puled on it making Rider go up and attempting to slam her in the dirt. She let go of her chains and let them dematerialize making Berserker breathe again. Musashi entered his personal space and with a grin, began cutting across his chest.

"How'd you like that!" She yelled as she leaped back as Berserker tried to beat her down. He rushed at her only for Rider to materialize chains in front of his feet making him trip up and his face kissing the ground.

"A mighty warrior you are." Rider says as she jumps up and then lands near him. "But the mighty have fallen." She then grabbed his weapon and took it away. Not one to let such an insult pass, Heracles growled and tried to grab her only for Musashi to kick at his side and making him tumble. Rider smirked as she held Berserker's weapon, thanks to her Monstrous Strength skill and decided to give back his weapon.

Heracles roared in anger and pain as the weapon slammed into his left knee where a sick crack is heard. While far from being down, the two women were working quite well together in ensuring this monster didn't rip them apart. Though that crack was far from the only thing to be heard.

Another cracking sound is heard when Shirou slammed into a tree.

"Oh brother," Illya smiles as she has her constructed bird familiars with her flapping their wings. "Did you think I'm incapable of fighting?"

The second the Servants began fighting, so did the other three in an instant. With Ozpin appearing behind Illya in an instant. While not one to enjoy hitting women, even those who looked like a child, Ozpin knew she's dangerous.

"Sorry, but you must go down." He then swung his cane down towards the back of the girl's head. Instead, bright wires came and stopped the cane from hitting her. Illya turned around and smiled at him.

"Oh. So close." Constructed birds then turned at him. "But close isn't the same as winning."

Ozpin got ready to move when suddenly he felt his body unable to move. The birds then seemed to release a miniature energy attack at him which collided against his aura. Ozpin hit the fence as his aura flickered from the attack. Thankfully he could move as he diverted himself away from a construct sword that stabbed where his stomach had been.

"Illya!" Shirou then shouted as he grabbed a thick branch and used his aura to reinforce it. Running at her and who;e he didn't want to hurt her, he had to stop her from hurting others. Illya didn't seem to register the attack as a threat though and smirked as she then grabbed some of her hair and sent it toward Shirou.

The hair then binded itself against Shirou's legs making him trip and fall. Illya used that chance to then sent a construct familiar to attack him and Shirou swore as he rolled himself away from the bird hitting him. Quickly Shirou broke through the bindings on his legs and ran at Illya with Ozpin doing the same.

The girl simply chuckled as if she weren't in danger. Suddenly two swords came from the sky made of wires and landed in front of both men and exploded in a brilliant flash of light. The two were blinded for a bit and couldn't see.

Illya used that opportunity to send her familiars to attack them head on. Shirou felt the wired bird crash against him and bound him up. Ozpin on the other hand jumped up when he sensed something ahead avoiding being in Shirou's state. Then, using the little pool of mana he had, Ozpin decided to send a wave of ice at Illya which, to her surprise, froze her legs down making her unable to move.

"Got you!" Ozpin says as he landed and got ready to knock her out.

Instead Ozpin felt fear and instantly created his barrier. Where a fist smashed against it and launched Ozpin away while the spherical barrier actually cracked all over. Berserker had come, and had sensed his Master in danger and had arrived to defend her. Illya giggling as she saw her Servant saving her while having her familiars destroy the ice that held her down.

"Excellent Berserker." Illya says as she then sees the two other Servants looking a little bruised. "I see you've been doing good work."

"I ain't out yet!" Saber declares as she stands with her blades glowing with her grinning. "If I ain't dead, then I haven't lost yet."

"Then maybe we should change that." Illya speaks as if she already won. "Berserker."

Sensing her intentions, Berserker launched himself forward like a rocket toward Musashi. Rider jumped away but Musashi stood her ground as she raised her weapons which shone brightly. With a battle cry, Musashi then shouted, "X Attack!"

Then like with the boar monster from before, an x-shaped energy attack formed and made its way to Berserker. Instead of running away though or trying to dodge it, to Musashi's shock Berserker went through the attack. A nasty x-shape burn mark could now be seen as skin peeled off and burnt flesh can be smelled. Muscle exposed with some of the attack hitting a bit of Berserker's own face revealed a bit of his flesh and a popped eye.

None of that stopped Heracles as he stopped toward Musashi and lifted his left leg. Even though the knee had yet to heal, it didn't stop Berserker as he sent his foot against the surprised Musashi's own chest.

In that moment Musashi felt a good amount of pain all over herself. Her ribs shattering on impact. Organs rupturing. Her lungs feel damaged with the air leaving her. Blood coming out of her mouth. As she was launched away her own back felt so weak and bruised when she slammed into the Matou home and kept on going until eventually she burst out of the front and landed on the streets unable to do anything now.

"Saber!" With Shirou shouting in horror at what had become of his Servant. Having seen her face contort into pain before she had been kicked away. Nearby Rider scowled as Berserker then turned to face her.

He had already been terrifyingly strong against two of them, and now it's just her. Rider muttering, "This won't be easy."

As for Shirou, he didn't know what he should do other than watch. Watch as Heracles snarled as he then made his way toward Rider with his weapon to bisect her. Only for a beam of green energy to slam at his side and push him away. Shirou, Rider, Illya, and the hidden Shinji then turned to see Ozpin who had launched the attack.

"Ha...ha…" Though looked rather tired, and truth be told Ozpin has wasted the last of his magic on him. Oh sure it'll come back eventually, but overall now he only had his aura left and his Long Memory.

None of which would do anything to Berserker who got back up and ran at Ozpin with every intent to pulverize him. The Servant was already upon Ozpin, and realizing he had no choice, accessed the power within the Long Memory and called upon a barrier like he did before which defended against the Servant's weapon.

Berserker of course is more than willing to continuously attack again when Rider came in and began bounding him in her chains. She then looked at Illya and called out another chain with the nail embedded in it and looked at Hercules. "Play fetch."

At terrifying speed, the nail went toward Illya who was shocked as it came at her. Berserker broke through the chains and ran at Illya and defended her with his back. Rider then landed on his shoulders and summoned two of her chains with the nails at the end. While Hercules's body was unstoppable, what about his eyes?

Without mercy she drove the nails into the soft part of the body and Heracles shrieked as he became blinded with Illya looking horrified at seeing her Servant's eyes reduced to mush. "Berserker!"

The great Heracles was in pain. A lot of it. However, by no means would this attack put him down. Berserker jumped up high in the air like a miniature rocket with rider brought with him on the ride. Before she could escape however, Heracles grabbed her by both arms and crushed them both, making the Servant yell as her bones were reduced to nothing. Then while spinning in the air, Heracles launched Rider as far as he could away from the Matou home.

Shirou, Ozpin, and the hiding Shinji gasping as now both the Servants allied with them were now either far away or to injured to fight. Heracles landing with a massive thud on the ground, with all to see his terrifying form as he roared in triumph. Illya then laughing a bit and doing a little twirl.

"Hehehe. I admit, those two Servants were a bit better than I thought." She admits as she then looks at Heracles, who's eyes and knee finally healed up properly. She then sees the slight burn mark on her Servant, the one Ozpin gave him but quickly vanishing. "And you're certainly no nobody if you can actually leave a mark." She then looks at her brother and Ozpin. "But in the end, you fell.

Heracles lifted his weapon.

"Any final words before I finish you off?" None were said. Or at least, none towards her.

"Shirou." Ozpin quickly whispered to his student. "Is the girl still inside the house?"

"Sakura?!" Shirou then said with worry. Having forgotten about her as his eyes turned to the house. Realizing that she was still there, and could be in danger. "We-we have to-"

"Help her. Maybe so, however," Ozpin then began speaking up. "Thankfully for us it seems the girl is focused on us. You, I, and Shinji and not Sakura. Meaning if we leave here, the girl will just focus on us."

That's...that's a good plan. I mean, yeah Shirou saw the biggest downside. Mainly, they'll be chased after by the girl and her brute of a Servant and potentially squashed. However, if it meant ensuring Sakura was safe, then all was good. "I'm in."

"Good. Then cover your eyes." Shirou did just that as Ozpin raised his cane, spun it, and then slammed it down on the ground. Green sparks came out of it as once more Ozpin accessed more of the countless centuries worth of power in it which was stronger since stepping foot in this strange world. The ground shakes as if an earthquake happened, and then breaks apart with Illya yelping with Berserker quickly going to her side.

Shirou is then picked up and then suddenly Shinji yelped as Ozpin grabbed him. Then, like one would expect from a comic-book character or some anime, Ozpin jumped up higher than what a normal human should be incapable of and began escaping.

"Guh!" Illya puffs her cheeks as she sees all three leave. "Berserker! After them!" She then has her Servant pick her up and place her carefully on his shoulder where he then jumps up after them.

"I'm here!" Where just a few seconds later a somewhat recovered but still hurt Musashi burst through the Matou's backdoor having dirt all over her clothes, hair a mess, and breathing unevenly. Only to see a ruined back yard and nobody around. She then sees Berserker in the air and moans. "I'm...coming…"

Back to Ozpin and the other two, the headmaster was running as fast as he could. In which case, faster than even a car as he used his aura to its fullest. Having both Shirou and Shinji carried on his shoulders with the two Masters amazed at how fast Ozpin was moving at.

"The hell!" Shinji says as he sees how Ozpin outpaces several cars that were going fifty miles an hour. "How-How are you doing this!?"

"Aura!" The still bound Shirou says. "It improves physical function by a lot." Though Shirou didn't expect it to be this good. No olympic runner could go this fast.

"Yes. In time both of you could also reach this level of speed with enough practice." Ozpin replies with a smile. A roar is then heard as all three turn and look up where they see that they have become the hunted. "Though unfortunately, it seems even Aura isn't capable of making a person faster than a Servant."

Then like so, Berserker landed on a (thankfully) empty house with the roof collapsing under his feet. The Servant then just burst through the walls and is now chasing after the three on foot in which he is quickly catching up with Illya smiling.

"I thought Magecraft wasn't supposed to be revealed to the public?" Ozpin says as he tries to run faster.

"She must be using magecraft to 'hide' her and Berserker." Shinji proclaims as he then looks around. There were...some people out there. However there are also spells to deceive one's sights and make them think they're seeing something else. While the few people here did seem to react with a gasp or shock when they 'saw' Berserker and Illya, Shinji got the feeling they may be seeing something else instead. Like, a bull or whatever.

"I don't think it really matters because he's almost onto us!" Shirou shouts as Berserker is moments away from getting his hands on him and crushing them all. Shinji squealing as he sees hands bigger than his head getting closer.

Ozpin also felt the approach and realized that he needed to act now. While he is incapable of beating the Servant, he did have a way to stall him. So while it was rude, Ozpin stopped and dropped both boys on the hard sidewalk.

"Ow!"

"Oof!

Then once that was done, Ozpin had two seconds before Berserker killed them. Two seconds was all he needed as Ozpin turned and raised the Long Memory. Instead of using the stored power in it though, instead Ozpin focused all his aura into the weapon itself. No form of defense on him, and he'd be auraless afterwards. With all his strength Ozpin drove the the Long Memory into Berserker's knee.

Ozpin's aura shattered as he wasted it all, however the results were good enough.

CRACK!

Very good as the entire knee snapped at Berserker instantly fell onto his one good knee as contrast to Rider and Saber who only damaged it before, Ozpin broke the right knee. Unfortunately, Berserker could still move and now all three men were powerless as the Servant grunted and stood up even though blood was bursting from the broken bone.

"Well...didn't see that coming." Ozpin says as he, Shirou, and Shinji saw Berserker ready to crush their bodies in one move.

Suddenly a car came in and at the last moment a man jumped out of the vehicle. The car slamming into Berserker who grabbed Illya and both were sent into the nearest house while the car itself was now busted up from impact while the few people nearby began moving away. The man who had the guts to hit a Servant huffed as he looked at the three men.

"Man, that was scary. One nasty bear, wasn't it?" Bear? Shinji figured it out.

'So that's what she made everybody see Berserker as. A bear.'

"Though...I wonder why a polar bear was even here?" the man then says as he begins running. "You three better go. Someone already called animal control!"

"Polar bear?" Shirou says as he looks at the house which had a Berserker shaped hole in it. "That's...weird."

"I don't think that matters right now. For the time being, let us go now." Ozpin says as he kneels down and unties Shiou while Shinji stands up, a little disoriented from the fast running. A roar could be then heard from the house.

"Y-yeah. Let's go!" Shinji starts running away. "With all this noise people will come. Meaning that brat will have to stop chasing us for the time being."

"Then let us be off." So like that, the three quickly ran away from the scene of the crime. Thankful that the brave man from before saved them and glad that they'll have a chance to recopripate from that horrible chase as they left.

"I'm here!" Only for Musashi to come in and land on Shinji! Well, at least they had back-up just in case.

"Now that is an interesting show." With Kirei Kotomine interested in the display of ability that Ozpin had shown. Having watched him through the eyes of the familiar, and had seen the battle taking place from the start to the end. Having already made a few calls to the agency that dealt with the cover-ups when magecraft slightly got exposed to the public and making excuses to ensure the common people don't realize what has been happening.

Granted, it'll be tough to explain how and why a massive polar bear with a little girl was there in the streets but that would be okay. The Church had to deal with strange things in past Holy Grail Wars for obscurity sake.

From docks being demolished to people tearing their clothes off and even that time where plants started growing everywhere.

Those were weird times.

"So what do you think of this, I believed you called him, interloper?" Kirei then asks none other than the King of Heroes. A legendary and powerful Heroic Spirit known as the strongest of them all. Wielding every form of weaponry to man and countless Noble Phantasms of all sorts. To say he was powerful is an understatement. The incarnated Gilgamesh capable of ending all if he truly wished for it, and has been working with Kirei since that day ten years ago.

Gilgamesh drinking some fine wine before answering. "I find him deplorable."

"Oh. Why's that?" Kirei asks for curiosity's sake. "From what I have seen, this interloper utilizes some form of power to drastically increase his physical ability."

From jumping over houses to outpacing a car. While Servants held better physical stats, this strange magecraft this person uses is certainly superior to most reinforcement spells. Not to mention even harmed Berserker, even if only for a bit.

"Hmp." Gilgamesh dismissed such power as it was not worth his time. "Yes. Such power comes from a source not even his. Instead, relying on the power of those loathsome beings."

Kirei raised a brow, a bit exactly what Gilgamesh meant entirely but deciding not to question further. Though he is interested in another thing. "Beings you say?"

"Just two overgrown worms that have the audacity to even come to my garden." Gilgamesh vaguely says. "I'll take care of them when they arrive here. While unworthy, they will make good target practice for Ea."

Ea? As in Gilgamesh's greatest weapon!? One that could destroy Reality Marble's, reduce people, buildings, and Servants to atoms, and even turn the surface of the world to a barren wasteland. While Gilgamesh said it in a way as if a person taking out the trash, the fact is just what was powerful enough coming here that Gilgamesh would use that weapon on them?

"Regardless, it seems he is working alongside the Master of Saber and Rider. Not to mention Archer." Caster only had Assassin, and the Einzbern girl only had only one, if powerful, Servant with her. It was clear that if all three Masters worked together, then they may just be capable of defeating the other Servants. "However," Kirei turned to Gilgamesh. "It seems we have unexpected players."

"Oh. Do explain." Gilgamesh commanded.

"Reports of strange animals of black and white bone have been appearing." Kirei explains himself. "Not too many and easily wiped, memories changed. However, investigation reveals they seem to be concentrated at the temple."

"Where the Grail is." Gilgamesh smirks while also thinking a bit about these creatures. If they were what he saw, then maybe…"Leave them be for now." He then ordered. "With the exception of those that stray too far, let Caster handle the rest at the temple."

"I assume they will play a role then?" Kirei asks.

"Indeed. Kirei." Gilgamesh grins. "For they will also play a role in ridding this world of surplus, and prove those who are worthy. Otherwise those who are not capable of standing before the new world, will face their gruesome demise."

Then with that, Gilgamesh can begin anew the next stage for humanity.

Heracles. You either have a trick to kill him, or all one can do is stall, stall, and stall. Musashi and Rider are good and can potentially kill him, but it'd first require Rider to actually unlock her full power.

Ozpin, he can hurt him which is saying something. But unless he uses the Long Memory's full power, then all he can do is hurt him one time, get tired, and then get killed unless someone is there to save him. In this case, a brave young man who saw Ozpin and the others being chased by a 'bear' as he saw it, and rammed his car to save them. Such bravery.

In any case, the next time Illya sees them she'll be mad.

Moving on, I have bad news. At work, I now have an additional one-hour shift in overtime. Meaning instead of coming home, relax, and write, it's coming home, relax, and sleep since I now get back much later. So this story will be updated on Friday's only. Sucks, but life is like that unfortunately.
