Authors Notes:

Hey everyone! I hope that you like the recent chapter of my OVA Series, Man… That was really exhausting for me you know. But anyhow in this chapter, the heroes started to assist a bunch of Chinese Servants that consists of Jing Ke and Lu Bu. Who are also happened to be allies to Nero Claudius. As they finished off their enemies, they started an awkward conversation that left Mash confused.

Meanwhile, we saw that Lev is now getting frustrated at all that is happening. With him summoning a new Servant that is revealed to be a red head kid. With the latter agreeing to be of service.

Now then… It has been a while, since I have written Kamen Rider Fanfic. Well, it's time for me to get back into it then. Boy I can't wait for the DVD release of Paladin Airgetlam, as well as the Solomon Movie too.

Disclaimer: I don't own any of the characters appearing in this Fanfiction, they belong to their respective creators: Kinoko Nasu, Takashi Takeuchi, Type-Moon, Shotaro Ishinomori and Toei Company.

Quartzer 8

adolescentem conqueror et ducem

3rd POV

On the Enemy Camp, somewhere in Gaul

60 A.D

As we cut into the red head boy, he was now talking to a man with long black hair, glasses, and a black tuxedo with a red tie. In his mouth was a cigarette.

"—That sums up Nero Claudius' army. All the details are in the report. Look it over later." Man with glasses said giving the scroll to the kid, "One comment from me. Think of the enemy commander, Lu Bu as a disaster. The same goes for Spartacus. It's no use confronting them head-on. That said, these disasters can be dealt with. The two Berserkers are like automatic machines. It should be easy to "lure" them. Luckily, they didn't materialize as other classes."

"Guess our luck is turning. Were my Luck parameters that high?" The boy asked.

"Luck that's already played out is nothing but reality. Meaning that reality is working in your favor, nothing more." The man replied.

"Oh? You can look at it that way too, I guess. It doesn't matter either way. I want to see her face. Nero Claudius. The fifth emperor of the Roman Empire. What kind of king is she? No, what kind of emperor is she, I should say." The kid muttered.

"I will make your wish come true. No matter what."

"Thank you, but I kind of feel weird. I'm what you may consider a curveball as a Heroic Spirit, so my "memory" is a little different too. It seems a little bit off, that you became my teacher."

"Those are my words. Can you imagine being sent back in time, and becoming a vessel for a Heroic Spirit I have no connections with. What happened to me in my own era? Did I switch with this Heroic Spirit? Or did the time in "my era" stop, and I'm here as myself, integrated with this Heroic Spirit? ...I have no idea what's going on."

"But you came here anyway. As my new teacher. Right, Mr. Zhuge Liang." The boy smiled.

"No. Well, as a Heroic Spirit, that may be true. —I am Lord El-Melloi II."

Mash POV

Somewhere in Gaul

60 A.D

We then turn our attention to the heroes, who are now talking to each other, "The true Roman Empire Army has started its attack. The United Empire is being invaded. Jing Ke already came back with intel. A city resembling Rome indeed exists in the specified location. This is the place Stheno was talking about. This is the real blessing from the goddess. Boudica and Spartacus of Gaul, along with Lu Bu and Jing Ke. An army commanding five Servants, including me. That is the true Roman Imperial Army led by Emperor Nero. It's a force that no standard army can match. Yet the United Empire force won't send in their Servants. No sign of Lev Lainur either. Every day, we advance further. We certainly have the upper hand now. The Imperial Army is marching toward the enemy capital with unbelievable momentum. In the meantime, I— will do this—" Mash monologued.

This Monologue caused the others to look at her with confusion, Ritsuka then asked, "What are you doing?"

"I agree are you keeping a journal, Mash?" Sougo agreed.

"Fou!"

"S-Senpai? Tokiwa-san? Fou?! ...Doctor asked me. To keep a journal, as a military record." Mash answered.

"Wow! The Doc did?" Tsukuyomi exclaimed.

"That's right, I'm the one who asked. To take advantage of the fact that you became a Roman viceroy! What do you think about "Novus Commentarii de Bello Gallico"? This title is an homage to the book written by Caesar. That sounds interesting, right? Though you do have to cover the part where a god showed up..."

"Are you really going to publish that?" Ritsuka asked.

"Yeah, wouldn't that be breach of confidentiality?" Fourze agreed.

"I suppose you're right. Well then, let's talk about something serious! Let's assume you guys could save the world. I thought about what would come after that. Even if the world is saved, the tragedy of Chaldea will never be reversed. In other words— there's no guarantee for our salary. You understand the rest, right?"

"I see. You mean prevention is better than the cure, but why are you the one avoiding physical labor, Doctor?" Mash said.

"I don't think that was what he was taking about, Mash." Decade replied.

"Oh, it's a joke, it's a joke. Why would I count my chickens before they hatch when the world's about to end? What's happening in Rome is exactly like a war. In order to grasp the situation correctly, I just use the best means."

"I understand its purpose now. In that case, I will dispose of this journal right away. Regarding the war record, I will deliver it to Da Vinci and Sento-san later."

"I agree they can do it, after all, they're geniuses." Artoria Alter muttered.

"Good! Look how well you've been trained! Damn!"

"Wow… You are really happy, huh, Doc." Woz said.

"Gosh, you really need to calm down, Romani." Olga muttered.

"Mash is right. Everyone."

Mash was silent with all this when Fou said, "Fou?"

"Mmm, what? What are you talking about? Fujimaru always seems to be having fun. You should let me in on it, too." Nero interjected smiling at them.

Boudica also interjects, "Hey! You know this is not the time to be fooling around We've detected the enemy."

"Yeah… stop spacing out and look over there!" Den-O shouted.

"You're right, multiple signatures. I am not picking up any Servants, it's a regular military force." Doctor Roman shouted.

They then saw multitudes of Roman Legions coming towards them, with Nero saying, "Hmmm. I was just about to have a lovely conversation...what a disappointment... It's okay. First, we'll get rid of them. What can mere United Empire troops do to us! I shall take in those who surrender! Pledge fealty to my Rome, and your life will be spared!" Nero shouted.

"Really now, Nero-san." Kiva muttered.

"How can you be so cheerful at times like this." Dark Kiva asked.

"Your Rome, I see." Boudica said with a hint of sarcasm.

"Huh?" Nero said as she was confused at all of this.

"Master, Everyone, we should go too. If we can crush the leading units, we can demoralize their troops." Mash said.

Ritsuka smiled, "Just don't overdo it, Mash!"

"And of course… We are with you." Wizard smiled.

"Yes. Let's go!" Mash smiled.

(Cue Opening Theme: Over Quartzer by Shuta Sueyoshi Ft ISSA)

It's time for a new Order to complete, as Ancient Rome is in the brink of collapse, will Zi-O and the others prevail. Rejoice for It's time to correct human history or die trying.

Oh, yeah, Oh...

We saw Mash, Ritsuka, Roman, Da Vinci look and marveled at the Rider kicking Kamen Riders, when suddenly they saw Zi-O, Den O, Ghost, Build, Wizard and Decade walking as their faces are now shown.

sshun de tsukamitoru no sa Are you ready? (Are you lazy?)

We saw Sougo, Ryotaro and Ritsuka look at the clocks as they reach it, they then swing their arms the background starts rotating.

We then saw Geiz throws his cloak as he transforms to Kamen Rider Geiz.

With Tsukuyomi and Mash walking as Tsukuyomi changes to Kamen Rider Tsukuyomi.

We then cut to Sougo and Tsukasa who then transform to Oma Zi-O and Decade Violent Emotions as their eyes turn red and slanted.

Konomama Shout it out! Shout it out!

We then saw Takeru appear with Makoto, Alain as well as the Heroes of history. With Roman, Sento, Haruto and Da Vinci at mission control

We then saw Woz turning his book as it shows a shadowy figure with white hair and black eyes.

Madō hi mo Ikudo tonaku Asu no tobira

We then saw the Shadowy figure as he walks, as an image shows the Heroes doing their daily routine. As we cut to Woz's book showing Oma Zi-O destroying things as well as the Shadowy figure sending creating golden cups.

As it changes to a white version of Woz. As we saw the Ridewatches.

As the statues continue to appear, as Sougo activates his watch with Ritsuka, Tsukasa, Takeru and Ryotaro watching him.

We then saw the Riders riding their backs, as Shadowy figures started walking. As the Rider kicks started moving.

We then saw Zi-O riding through the blaze. With Nero and Kiva emerging from the roses

We then saw heroes standing with serious looks on their eyes. With Artoria Pendragon splitting into her three aspects. Dark Kiva walking as the night comes.

We then saw the Riders as well as the Servants fighting some enemies. With Woz using his Kamen Rider Ginga Miridewatch.

We then saw Tsukuyomi and Mash walking down the stairs, as the scenery started changing. With Natsumi, Medusa and Kaitou appearing to take their hands.

Now, Over "Quartzer"

We then saw Zi-O using his sword.

Mabayui sekai Misete

As it switches to Geiz with them duking it out as the title appears.

Sougo POV

Somewhere in Gaul

60 A.D

The heroes then started fighting the enemies, with the former mostly massacring the latter. As they continue the enemies started to flee as they knew that the Heroes are too strong.

"...That's all. Already, the United Empire is without clear leadership. All we encountered are small random skirmishes with independent enemy units. It's safe to assume that the situation looks positive." Jing Ke declared.

"Umu! In other words, my army has regained its true power, right? No, I have Mash and the others, as well. These traitors have no chance against my forces!"

"Hey… Nero-san let's not be reckless here." Zi-O said.

"I agree… Carelessness could be fatal, Nero Claudius. Life can be extinguished without you even knowing it. The United Empire defense is still formidable. That's also why we only run into weaker units."

"U-Umu. Jing Ke and Sougo are so cautious."

Jing Ke replied, "Have you forgotten? I assassinate others for a living. Plotting is my specialty and at the same time, it's what I'm most wary of."

"Me too I've been in a lot of tight situations. So I have to be sharp." Zi-O agreed.

"Umu..." Nero said as if agreeing with them.

Suddenly, a legionnaire came to Nero and said, "Pardon me, Your Majesty! Enemy troops are ahead! Also they are behind us!" This caused the others to be shocked.

"What!" Most of the Kamen Riders as well as Ritsuka shouted.

"Behind us?" Mash exclaimed.

"I believe General Lu Bu was in the rearguard, Spartacus as well. We can't leave them like that—"

Jing Ke then grunted, "This is not good. Once the fight starts, those two will probably chase the enemy to the ends of the earth..."

"That's why we placed them in the rearguard. To capture the capital as planned...but it backfired." Nero replied.

"We can't lose those generals! I'm sorry, Mash, Everyone. Fujimaru, Tokiwa, I am counting on you!" Nero shouted.

"Understood. We just need to stop the rear enemy troops, right? I am relatively good at fighting defensively. I want to emphasize...'relatively.'" Mash said.

"You said it Shield girl!" Den-O agreed.

"Just don't overdo it, Mash!"

"Yes, Master!" Mash nodded.

The heroes then went towards the rear hacking and slashing any enemy, when they reach the rear Mash said, "We've crushed the enemy forces, and destroyed all the monsters. We somehow made it—"

"Not yet! Multiple signatures! What's this? The enemy forces are even stronger than before!" Romani shouted.

"Woah! You're kidding!" Ghost and Zeronos said.

"Another battle! Master, your orders please!" Mash said to Ritsuka.

"It's your cue, Ritsuka." Zi-O smiled.

"Yeah… Let's go Mash! Sougo! Everyone!" Ritsuka shouted.

They continue to fight the enemy as hours pass by Romani asked, "Did we stop them? Looks like the rest retreated. Good job, Mash, Fujimaru-kun, Everyone!"

"Are you there Ryotaro! Momotaros! Everyone!" Hana shouted.

"We were able to save Lu Bu and Spartacus. Dear me, let's take a breather."

"Romani ok calm down, inhale, exhale." Olga and Hana said.

"From now on, let's protect our rear guard as well. The enemy seems to understand how our army works." Jing Ke said.

"Yeah, we wouldn't want to be back sided again." Geiz said.

"Did you sense any Servants? I couldn't detect anything from here." Roman asked.

"There were no signs of such during the battle. Except for the four in our own forces. Oh wait... Jing Ke often extinguishes her presence. So to be precise, that's three Servants." Mash muttered.

"What do you mean by that Mash?" Ghost asked.

"That's Assassin's Presence Concealment skill. Tenkuji-kun. I can't detect her from here, either. I don't think an Assassin is involved. In this case—"

"It must be directed... There must be an enemy general who's adept at commanding." Jing Ke answered.

"Then that means…" Decade replied.

"I wonder if it's one of the "emperors."" Mash said.

"I don't know. But we will find out soon." Jing Ke said.

They then heard a loud shout with Nero asking, "Wh-What's this sound? A beast howling?"

"No, it's a Servant's presence. It's possible that an enemy Servant has appeared." Mash said.

"Oh boy we are in big trouble." Den-O said.

"A big gun like Mash and the others? An enemy commander? In that case, one of the "emperors"—"

"Umm… But… Nero-san we have a problem."

"Yes, first, let's draw back our men. Humans don't stand a chance against that, they'll be slaughtered!"

"Right, gotcha! So the instant we move Boudica to the rear, this happens?" Nero muttered.

"So what are we going to do, now?" Kivala asked.

"Well. Let's head to the front. Master! Everyone!" As they reach their location Mash shouted, "Everyone! I have them in my sights. That's..." They saw a large army coming towards them.

"I'm picking up multiple magical energy signatures. All belong to that of necromancy, but with this number... perhaps a Caster?"

"Multiple non-human, hostile creatures. We haven't confirmed the source of the roar. It may be a Berserker. Master, we should eradicate this group of hostile creatures." Mash was muttering.

"Hey! Hey! Calm down, Mash!" Tsukuyomi shouted.

"Pay attention to the Servant first, Mash!" Ritsuka exclaimed.

"Right!" Mash replied as she calms down.

El Melloi II POV

On Enemy Lines, Gaul

60 A.D

Meanwhile. On the enemy lines, we saw that Lord El Melloi and the boy talking, "Looks like a Servant was summoned in the enemy vanguard. Was it that Court Mage's doing— No, it couldn't t have been. In that case, was it you?"

"I don't know. All I did was gallop my horse. I thought they'd be on their way by now. I never thought it would be this soon." The boy replied back at him."

"Oh?"

The boy then added, "Have you heard the rumors about the Mediterranean goddess? They say that aside from her, there are two female monsters. So you see... It hit me. A Chained Summon. If such a thing could be possible."

"I don't like battles that rely on luck." El Melloi II muttered.

"Please don't say that. You're the one who created that opening in their vanguard. Let's get ready now, while he's buying us time." The boy replied to El Melloi II.

"...Are you sure?"

"About?"

"If he materialized through the chained summon, then most likely he's—-"

"Yes, I think he's Darius III. The fearless Persian King and my forever rival in life." The boy agreed. He then continued, "However, right now, I feel that I know that as a kind of future. It's okay. I fought him once, and will fight him again. But not right now. Right now, it's Nero Claudius. I want to talk to that person."

Ritsuka POV

Back on the Heroes side, Gaul

60 A.D

Back at the Heroes side, we saw that they are now facing a large bald man with black skin and gold markings and is riding a huge elephant this is Darius III. As Darius screams Romani said, "Amazing, I can almost feel the air vibrations over here! Magical energy signature confirmed. He's a Servant!"

"Linguistic communication impossible, it's an enemy Servant. Master, your orders!" Mash asked.

Zi-O and Ritsuka look at each other, with the latter smiling, "Okay, Mash, Everyone. Let's get him." They then started to attack Darius III with them having difficulty dealing with him.

"Ugh..." Mash groaned.

"Guys be careful we can beat it." Ritsuka shouted.

"—Right!" Mash nodded.

As time passes by… They are now starting to overwhelm Darius with the Kamen Riders and Servants each using their attacks to defeat him. Mash then smiled, "We have defeated the enemy Servant. Good job, Master. Everyone."

"You're really getting hang of fighting Servants. Your experiences are coming in handy, well done."

"Oh no Doctor, I think it's because of Master's precise orders." Mash replied.

A legionnaire went towards Sougo and Ritsuka saying, "Commander Fujimaru, Commander Tokiwa, Commander Mash, a message! It's from Her Majesty the Emperor."

"What is it?"

"There's been an ambush in the rear, both General Spartacus and General Lu Bu have left the battlefield." This caused the heroes to be shocked at this.

"Then that means…"

"Oh, no! So the enemy deployed a two-front attack?"

"The two generals have defeated the enemy forces, but they've broken away in pursuit of remnants! Then another force launched a surprise attack from both sides. General Boudica fell into the enemy's hands and was taken, prisoner!"

"What!"

"This is... Mmmm, this is not good at all..." Romani muttered.

Nero was silent within all of this, with Mash called out, "—Nero."

"What's on your mind?" Kivala asked.

"Hmm? Oh, I seemed to be deep in thought. I have made my decision."

"Seemed?"

"What decision?" Wizard and EMIYA asked.

"Our forces were outmatched in the previous battle I will accept this as a stern truth. My generals are just as capable as the enemy "emperors." But two of them left the front line, and one is captured by the enemy. There is nothing we can do about those two. No, it was my mistake. It might take a little bit of time, but I'm willing to believe Lu Bu and Spartacus will return to us. Therefore, at this point— We will save Boudica! Fortunately, Jing Ke found the location of the enemy fort. We will charge in, destroy the fort, and save Boudica." Nero explained.

"I see…."

"Hmmmm..."

"Doctor, something wrong?" Mash asked.

"Do you have something, Doc?" Zi-O asked.

"I just feel uneasy. The one who captured Boudica is supposed to be a Servant. It's not something a regular human can do. but why are

they are barricading themselves in a fort? It's not that far from the United Empire capital. So it should be convenient to get back there." Romani explained.

"The enemy is trying to lure us in. Is that what this means?" Mash asked.

"If that's the case we need to have a plan…" Geiz said.

"If they just want to destroy our force, the approach I mentioned earlier should be "better." We have at least eight Servants. They should understand that too. That's why they cut off Lu Bu and Spartacus in such a spectacular manner." Romani explained.

"...Yes. Humans and Servants, I think the enemy has a good grasp of the clear difference." Mash agreed.

"Now, Fujimaru-kun, Tokiwa-kun. It's time for a decision." Romani said to the two.

"What are you talking about, Doc? Of course, we're going to rescue Boudica!" Zi-O replied.

"I see. I knew you'd say that. Tokiwa-kun. But… You're too optimistic. We're at war. We need a strategic point of view."

Ritsuka then said, "Then if it's a trap… we'll crush it…"

"And... Senpai. You're starting to think like a Berserker. I understand more Berserkers have materialized this time, but I don't think it's a good idea to be influenced by them. But... I don't believe your way of thinking is bad."

"You understand me, Fujimaru, Tokiwa. In that case, let's conquer together. Our target is the enemy base! We will take it at once! My loyal soldiers, attack with caution!"

"Oh boy, she sure is cheerful." Artoria Alter muttered.

And that clinches it, see you later.
