I don't own Dies Irae nor Fate/Zero

"Well isn't this a sight?" Asked Adelheid as she looked at the battle before her.

.Saber really lived up to her title as the embodiment of the Swordsman hero archetype, and Lancer well he was something alright and it wasn't everyday one could use two spears with that much dexterity.

"Well I must admit Saber you truly are a worthy opponent." Complimented Lancer as he stood at the ready.

"I can say the same lancer, you to are a worthy opponent." Complimented.

"It is a pity that I have to interrupt this match but as everyone knows, all good things have to come to an end." Came Adelheid's voice.

"Avenger ?!" Asked Iris much surprised by the Servant's sudden appearance.

"I hope that you had a good night women and men." Said Adelheid as she appeared in her uniform.

"Who are you?" Asked Lancer, as he looked at Adelheid, whom merly stood there whilst casting judging look unto him.

"Hmmm ... Two spears, one yellow and one red, encrusted with celtic runes, You must Diarmuid of the Lovespot. I have to say zat you seem quite the charming fellow. "Said Adelheid teasingly.

"I have to say Saber, he does seem interesting and those eyes speak of many things, betrayal, broken oaths. Quite nice." Said Avenger as she clapped at the prize that laid before her.

"What are you on about Avenger?" Asked Saber.

"Now, now King Arthur, I am merely deducting if he's worthy of joining my master's legions, and I have to say this war has brought many joys." Said Adelheid often slipping into her father tongue in her sentence.

"I have to decline the offer Miss Avenger but I have sworn to another Lord." Lancer said respectfully, to which Adelheid merely chuckled.

"I never said that this was a request lancer, that was an order." Said Adelheid as a pair of portals appeared and a barrel protruded out of it aiming at Lancer and she held her hand up as a signal marker.

"I hope you can dodge these Lancer as these machine guns shoot way too fast for a normal man to dodge." Said Adelheid as she lowered her arm at lancer and the machine guns fired with the sound chainsaws.

(Dues Vult OST)

Lancer was having a hard time of Fighting against Avenger the woman in front of him was no knight, and she had a look that made Lancer for some odd reason run for his life, it felt as his very soul was in jeopardy.

"Bravo Lancer, But can you dodge these?" Adelheid said as she snapped her fingers and suddenly tanks appeared.

Panzer VI.H, Panzer VI.B, Hummels, Brumbars, Karl-Gerat morser, Panzer IV, III, JagdTigers and Panthers appeared in the street.

"Try and dodge these Hedge knight." Adelheid said as she clicked her fingers and the tanks began to open fire.

"Avenger stop this right now You are going to put innocents in danger!" Artoria yelled at Adelheid.

"What innocents? This entire city is a battlefield, to hell with the civilians! And besides blame the Mages who chose this city as the battlefield" Adelhied said, when suddenly Lancer was face to face with her and his crimson spear ready to thrust at Adelheid.

But the General grabbed the crimson spear, kicking Diarmuid away and her looking at the red spear admiring the craftsmanship before throwing the spear back at Diarmuid.

"Truly lancer, you are a fast one, however... centuries from your time where men fought with naught but sticks, swords and arrows, warfare has made people evolve, and the introduction of gunpowder in 1201 has made the battlefield to shift. And in 1586 , all were laid low before the guns and the artillery, and since there were no great charges of cavalry, no man charging into a wall of spears nor kings leading their men to glorious battle, after all the age of Chivalry died in the mire of Agincourt." Adelheid lectured the knights which only earned gritting teeth of frustration from Diarmuid and Artoria.

"Avenger stay out this! This is my fight and mine alone!" Artoria yelled at Adelheid who sneered at the knight.

"Very well Artoria but don't expect me to come and save your hide when you need it." Adelheid said when a soldier dressed in a large black coat, a gasmask an M1940 Stahlhelm and in his right arm was a portable chair.

And proceeded to open it and Adelheid sat on it, with a cigar in her hands.

"You may continue this entertainment." Adelheid said with a wave of her hand as she lit the cigar.

This however made Artoria slightly livid seeing the disrespect and disregard Adelehid had for this Grail War.

Even if this war was about her writing her wrongs when she was alive, she would continue this war as a knight.

But seeing Adelheid to have such disregard for chivalrous combat it infuriated her to no end.

"Restrain her." Commanded Adelheid when to soldiers dressed with heavy winter uniforms and gas masks grabbed Saber by the arms.

"What?!" Sabre said in surprise as she wasn't able to break their grip.

"Now Sabre shut your trap and let me win this war." Adelheid said.

Elsewhere in the vicinity.

If there was a word that would describe Keyneth El-Melloi would be infuriated, 1st his summon for the rider class had been stolen by a thief, which made him swear that he would vindicate himself when he got his hands on the thief.

2ndly His lancer class Diarmuid Ua Duibhne was taking a lot of time of defeating the sabre class servant, who proved to be more of a challenge that he believed, and whoever was the Servants master the duo were dangerous.

And finally Avenger herself, from 1st glance Keyneth disregarded the Servant as a 2nd rate servant nothing worth noting, seeing her WWII uniform and the gloves which made him suspect that she was a member of the Ahnenerbe, but the armband made him think that wasn't the case.

The servant seemed much more trouble than she seemed with what her summoning of fire arms and and the Tanks were anything and they served as a useful buffer against Lancer, Though as the traditionalist that he is he would never admit such a thing.

So Keyneth with great reluctance from his pride raised his hand and used one of his command seals

"Lancer by the order of my command seal, I order you to use your noble phantasm to defeat Avenger." Keyneth ordered his servant

With Diarmuid

Diarmuid was standing in front of Avenger with tanks aiming their guns at him, and with nowhere to run he was forced to make his stand here.

"Lancer I order you to use your Noble Phantasm defeat Avenger." Came Keyneth's order.

Which Diarmuid accepted it seeing that he had no choice on the matter with all the guns aimed at him, and if he had to get out of the mess.

"So any last words Lancer?" Adelheid said in a mocking tone.

"No, not really." Diarmuid replied making Adelheid chuckle

"So be it." Adelheid said and as she raised her hand to give the order to fire Diarmuid launched his Golden spear at Adelheid, but she grabbed it with her hand .

"Such a shame to see such a weapons to be destroyed, but... Oh well." Adelheid said as she broke the spear without breaking a sweat.

"What?!" Diarmuid exclaimed seeing Gae Buidhe being broken in two, without leaving it's curse.

"Well... it seems that our conversation is over." Adelheid raised her hand again to order to fire but was stopped again when a thunderous noise of charging hoofs was heard.

"Stop in the Name of your king!"
