Notes
Hey guys, this is a worseman, and this is the third part of the second arc in this crossover fanfiction
I was having a hard time writing a long paragraph of this chapter that I wanted but I do have a limit. I tried my best to write this chapter to be more interesting and lively. I also tried to put more personality on Ritsuka but as for Fate and Kamen Rider Characters, it's very hard to write their personality so they might be a little out of their character.
To answer TheOkWriter's question, you have to read the note at the end of the first chapter of this story that can answer your question. However, it might disappoint you with my lack of an answer.
As for the story arc, it is a mixture of their mobile game and manga version and the manga is 'Fate/Grand Order -turas réalta-'. However, some parts will be different as it was created by me but it will retain its original story.

The fight was pretty much chaotic as the Kamen Riders and the Chaldea group were fighting for their life against the Kaijins, sent by Sin. Archer slashed a couple of stone-like imp and ant-like humanoid creatures with ease but blocked an incoming attack with his dual daggers in cross form from the black Panthera humanoid with a bright yellow scarf around its neck. His weapon locked with its weapon. He ran forward to push Pantheras Tristis backward and kicked his foot to its chest.
Artoria swung her sword to attack a green lizard-like humanoid creature whose head was shaped like a deformed hide shell with a single red eye in the middle of his head and beaded hair. Lizardman Phantom however felt no pain from her attack and tried to attack continuously with its sword but was countered. She realized that it possessed a thick hide all over its body that the normal attack would not work so she used one of her abilities. Her blade began to be enveloped in blue light and she struck through its chest with blue energy blasted out from the inside out of its back, killing it. It fell to the ground and exploded with flame. She then continued to attack others who stood in her way.
Cu had a little problem with fighting against a Jackal-like humanoid creature with its scythe as it was almost on par with Cu by speed. Skelos Falx swung its scythe to attack him and countered his attack with ease. He clicked his tongue that he was having trouble fighting but knew that it would make a mistake so he waited for an opportunity to attack. As it swung down its attack from above, he successfully dodged by jumping back and moved forwards with his spear pointing at it with a thrust. It, unfortunately, dashed right to dodge his thrust but he swung his spear around, hitting its head.
Mashu bashed one of the grunts and swung around, hitting the other two, who were about to attack her from her right side. She noticed something charging towards her so she quickly put her shield up and prepared for the impact. Her shield was struck hard, pushing Mashu back with her feet dragging, leaving her trail. She was shocked by the assailant's power as She lowered his shield a little to see her assailant, which was a white horse humanoid creature, wielding its large lancer. It growled in fury and tried to charge at her but was intercepted by Jeanne. They exchanged their attack but Jeanne was weak to block its powerful strike. Fortunately, Mashu came to Jeanne's rescue and hit it away to be crashed into a wall.
"Are you alright?" asked Mashu
"I'm fine and thank you for your assistance," Jeanne replied as she swung her flag pole at the attacking grunt.
Wizard, who was in his land style, was having a tough time facing the Phantom that he never faced before: A light green humanoid creature with a pointy ear and long nose wielding a duel dagger. It was almost loosely identical to a goblin. He tried to slash it with his sword but unfortunately missed due to its agility and received a hit. He stumbled back but stood firmly.
"I'm hoping that you put up a fight against me, Ring-Bearer Mage," Goblin Phantom laughed hysterically before continuing to charge towards Wizard.
Wizard managed to deflect Goblin's attack and kicked his right leg to its torso. It fell roughly and rolled on the ground before quickly standing up. He quickly changed his topaz ring to an emerald ring to change his form. He flipped his belt switch and hovered his ring over its center.
HURRICANE, PLEASE!
FU-FU, FU-FU-FU-FU!
Wizard took his copy ring out and replaced his ring on his right hand. He flipped his belt switch and hover it. He ran towards Goblin for an attack before saying loudly, "I'm not a mage! I'm a Wizard!"
Agito blocked many attacks from a scythe wielded by a similar ant-like humanoid creature whose chest plate color was red. He leaned back, dodging Formica Eques's slash to his chest, and swung his pole at it. It blocked and deflected his attack. He needed to defeat it so that he could find a queen art lord, Formica Regia, who led her grunt including Formica Eques who was their commandant. Formica Eques swung at the low height to his feet but he jumped up to avoid being hit with his pole. He swung at Formica Eques in midair and managed to hit it.
Den-O rashly slashed many grunts with ease while Ghost opened his belt buckle and took his ore eyescon out. He took a yellow eyescon and pressed, creating a hologram of a bulb, and placed it inside before closing. He pushed his belt's lever as it was announced.
KAIGEN! EDISON!
(Electrical Voltage Crackle)
ELEC! HIRAMEKI! HATSUMEI-OH~!
(Electricity Buzzing)
The ore parka vanished off Ghost's body, leaving him to be in blank form. A bright yellow parka flew out of the center of his belt and placed itself on him. His mask lit up with a yellow glow and his faceplate was identical to the hologram and the hood attached with two electrical rods on both sides of the top. Both shoulder pads had a yellow circle and a conducting device attached to them with a wire. Kamen Rider Ghost Edison Damashii. He fired his gun at a couple of grunts to give Den-O some assistance.
"Ugh!" Mashu groaned as she stumbled back with her shield but stood rooted from falling.
"Mashu!" shouted Ritsuka with his concerned voice.
"I'm alright, Master," Mashu replied loudly as she continued to fight.
Sin was enjoying seeing the Kamen Riders and Chaldea group struggling to fight against the Phantom and Lords for their way out. However, it was pointless as they were surrounded by them. He turned to Jeanne Alter and asked, "Are you enjoying this fight?"
"I admit that I'm enjoying it, but…" Jeanne Alter gave Sin a questioning look, "That's taking too long."
"Wait patiently, Dragon Witch, or you will like to rush there to kill yourself," Sin warned with a little mock in his voice, making Jeanne Alter scowled at him. "Don't give me that look of yours. You would be dead if I didn't send you with them."
"If you tried to betray me, I will burn you alive," Jeanne threatened Sin but did not affect him.
"Dammit! We need to find a way to escape!" Den-O shouted at the Kamen Riders and Chaldea group.
Ritsuka pressed his communication wrist device to activate to call Roman for help but heard Roman's panicked voice while he did not know that communication had just activated.
"What do we do? Any idea?"
"Doc, just takes a deep breath," Sougo said, calming Roman.
"Where's my email? I need the internet's help!" Roman said as he took out his phone. "Off to the internet's idol page! Help me, Magi Mari! Help me, Magi Mari!" He typed down rapidly from the words that he was going to say. "'We're being attacked by Servants! What should we do?!' and sent." He pressed the button to send his email to idol Magi Mari and received her reply in a quick second but unfortunately saw what she said. "I guess you'll have to die and be reborn! Wow! Internet idols are HARSH! She doesn't know how I feel."
"Are you freaking serious about sending your email to the idol for help in the middle of battle?!" Kota roared furiously, scaring some in the control room. "How stupid are you?!"
"Who are you, Kazumin?" asked Sento with his deadpan look.
"Give me a break" Geiz cursed softly.
Archer turned to Ritsuka to see his progress of calling for help but Ritsuka shook his head. Archer sighed in exasperation and focused on a couple of Kaijins that was slowly walking towards them. However, Jeanne began to shout unexpectedly. "Everyone, please go! I will cover your escape!"
"We're not leaving you behind to face them alone!" Ghost argued with Jeanne.
Suddenly, a transparent glass rose appeared out of nowhere.
"What?" Jeanne and Jeanne Alter asked.
"The Hell?!" Den-O shouted in confusion.
"A glass rose?" Mashu asked, seeing the glass rose.
"It's not elegant. Neither is this city. Neither is that combat style. I don't like your philosophy or principles either! You're so beautiful and yet you shroud yourself in blood and hatred. For good or evil, shouldn't a human try to be free?" A girl's voice called out.
"A Servant?" Jeanne Alter exclaimed.
Everyone looked up to the sky to see a carriage made out of glass and its rider was a pale girl with white hair and blue eyes.
"Yes, that's right! I'm so happy this is what it means to announce oneself as a hero of justice! I know who you are. I also know how powerful and terrifying you are," The girl declared as she continued, "To be honest, I must confess that I've never trembled in fear before anyone else. Yet still, if you intend to invade this nation. Then I face you even if I have to tear apart my dress!"
"Is it me or is she too bubbly?" asked Ritsuka.
"I'm honestly not sure about her, Master," Artoria replied cluelessly.
The girl continued, "Why? Because…"
A blonde man was in shock to see the girl, whom he recognized, and said loudly, "You are…"
The girl noticed the blonde man's shock and said with a smile, "Oh my. So, you know my true name. Have we met before? Splendid Female Knight?"
"Saber…" Jeanne called the blonde man's class, "Who is she?"
The Berserker Saber was quiet, making Jeanne Alter irritatedly and aggressively towards him to ask more.
"Answer me."
"I can tell who she is, even with this burning rage burning within my heart. Her beauty is unmistakable." The Berserker Saber answered firmly. "The girl they called the 'Flower of Versailles' She is Marie Antoinette."
"Queen Marie Antoinette?" Mashu muttered the girl's identity.
"You mean the last of the queens of France?" Ghost questioned Shockley.
"That's right! Thank you for saying my name!" Marie thanked Berserker Saber with joy. "And as long as that name exists, I will play my role, no matter how foolish it may be." She turned to Jeanne Alter with her pointing finger, "You! Dragon Witch who's torching my country. It might be pointless, but I ask you anyway. Are you evil enough to perform your wicked deeds in my very presence? Will you declare yourself a bigger fool than I, the queen, who failed to stop the revolution?"
Jeanne Alter gritted her teeth and roared angrily at Marie, "Silence! You lack the right to participate in this battle."
Marie was surprised at Jeanne Alter's outburst, "Oh, and why is that?"
"You led a life of luxury in a palace and died without ever knowing what happened," Jeanne Alter said and later asked loudly with anger, "Are you saying you can understand our hatred?"
"Hmmm… I suppose I can't. But that just makes me want to know more, Dragon Witch."
"What?"
Marie smiled, "What I don't know, I learn. That's my policy. That's why I can't bear to look at you like this. Oh, Jeanne D'arc, beloved saint! All I know is that you're taking your rage out on the innocent. And I've not the slightest idea why. Everything's disappearing into haze, like a girl going for a Sunday walk. I've no words for you. What I do know is this." She turned to Jeanne, "Along with the Jeanne d'Arc over there, I am going to make your heart and body mine!"
This however caused the Kamen Riders and Chaldea group to be surprised.
"What?" Mashu asked loudly.
"Huh?" Wizard asked dumbfoundedly.
"EHHHHH?!" The group shouted in surprise including the one in the Chaldea's control room except for Archer who was speechless.
"HAHAHAHA! This is the funniest thing that I heard from that girl," Cu laughed hysterically as he placed and clutched his hand on his stomach. "I think I'm going to have a stomach ache! HAHAHA!"
"Stop laughing, you dog!" Archer shouted at Cu.
"Shut up, but I can't stop laughing for a moment!" Cu retorted but he was still laughing.
Ritsuka, Den-O, Artoria, and Mashu turned to Jeanne to see if she was alright after Marie's word, but they unexpectedly saw her flushing face.
"Jeanne, are you okay?" asked Ritsuka.
"I… I'm fine, M… Master. That's… no need to worry about me," Jeanne shuttered in embarrassment.
'You're not okay,' The four thoughts, witnessing the embarrassing Jeanne for the first time.
Maire realized the mistake she had used so she apologized, "Oh, my. Oh dear, oh, dear. Um, don't misunderstand me. I just meant that as queen, I'm going to bring you to your knees."
"...It's falling apart…" Roman said in confusion. "My image of Marie Antoinette is falling apart..."
"You got that right," Kota agreed, feeling confused as well.
Jeanne Alter was irritated and shouted, "Enough of this farce." She looked at Marie and the rest, "Well then, you are my enemy. You all can't escape this place. You're all going to die right here and now!"
"I'm sorry but we will not die here," Maire proclaimed, "You're the enemy of the world, aren't you? So, first, we must appease the souls of all you murdered."
"How would you do that, Queen Antoniette?" Asked Archer.
Marie smiled, causing the groups to be confused, and said, "Thank you for waiting, Amadeus! Crush them like bugs!"
The carriage door opened, revealing a long blonde-haired man dressed in a black and purple robe and hat, holding a stick. He shouted, "Leave it to me!" He waved the stick in his hand. "Noble Phantasm, 'REQUIEM FOR DEATH.'!"
Amadeus unleashed a wave of music so loud that it caused the Kaijins to be in pain and dizzy.
"Amadeus? As in Amadeus Mozart?" Ghost asked surprisedly.
"One more!" Carmilla shouted delightedly with a smile. "Oh, but what a glorious evil sound!"
"Ugh, such pressure!" Vlad shouted in pain.
Seeing the opportunity, Wizard turned to Ghost and called, "Ghost, here's our chance to make an opening!"
"Got it!" Ghost acknowledged as he lowered his gun to his belt buckle to scan.
DAI KAIGAN!
GAN GAN MINAA~!
Wizard took out his finisher ring and scanned his sword.
HURRICANE SLASH STRIKE!
FU-FU, FU-FU-FU-FU!
The blade of Wizard's sword was coated in green hurricane wind and he slashed, releasing a tornado towards the Kaijins, picking mostly the grunts and especially one or two minor phantoms and/or lords. Ghost pressed the trigger to fire his gun while Wizard slashed once again but releasing a green projectile slash.
OMEGA SHOOT!
A yellow electrical energy ball shot out of Ghost's gun and went straight towards the tornado alongside the projectile slash. Both hit it at the same time, causing a huge explosion while destroying the Kaijins within it. As the smoke cleared and the explosion disappeared, an open path appeared and a chance for the groups to escape. The carriage landed on the ground in front of the groups.
Maire turned to Jeanne Alter and her group. "Now then, good day everyone! Au revoir!" She turned to face the Kamen Riders and Chaldea group. "Everyone! Let's escape now!"
The Chaldea group nodded but the Kamen Riders quickly took out their transportation device except for Wizard who took out his connect ring. They pressed their devices to activate while Wizard flipped the switch and hover it.
CONNECT, PLEASE!
A red magic circle appeared and moved back to reveal Wizard's motorcycle bike while the digitized rectangle area appeared on the ground and moved up to materialize their motorcycle. The Chaldea group were surprised to see the Kamen Riders' motorcycle being summoned while Maria and Amadeus were the same as well but Marie was more intrigued at their vehicles.
"Everyone, let's get out right now!" Archer shouted, snapping everyone out.
The Chaldea group entered the carriage and flew away with Marie and Amadeus while the Kamen Riders began their motorcycle's engine and moved out. Seeing them escaping, Jeanne Alter gripped her hand into a fist in fury while being powerless to see them escaping. Sin, on the other hand, would not care about their escape as he knew they would easily escape with the help of the two stray servants. He turned to the Kaijins and commanded with a simple word, "Go and cause whatever you want, assist Dragon Witch's servants, and kill the Kamen Riders and their allies if any of you come across."
The kaijin began to move away in every direction, leaving Sin, Jeanne Alter, and her servants behind. Sin turned around to walk away but Jeanne noticed him and asked loudly with anger, "Where the hell are you going?!"
"I will leave you and your servants to continue their mission of destroying this entire while I will sit back to enjoy your doing," Sin answered honestly, increasing Jeanne's blood pressure.
Jeanne Alter was however dared not to stop Sin for more answers because he might have given her a headache and possibly killed her since she felt his malicious aura from him during his introduction. She turned to the Saint to call her class. "Rider!"
"What is it?" asked the Berserker Rider.
"Go after them. Surely you can catch them on your horse. There's no need to fight and just tell me where they are so that I'll crush them."
"Understood," The Berserker Rider acknowledged. "I assure you I'll catch them."
As the Berserker Rider disappeared from Jeanne Alter's sight, Carmilla began to mumble angrily, "Ah, that awful noise is gone. What a shame. I wonder if I can make that Servant my pet. I'd stick his head on a phonograph and have him scream."
"...Ruler. Do you think Rider alone is enough?" asked Vlad.
"It will be fine. Rider's Noble Phantasm is perfect for destroying them." Jeanne Alter replied, "...But you're right, I should be careful. I'll return and prepare to summon additional Servants." She then looked at the rest of the servants. "Go ahead and cause as much trouble as you like. If you're lucky enough to find them, slay them."
"What about that man and his abomination monster?" Vlad asked again with a hint of disguise.
"Ignore that man. He was already not our allies but not our enemy. Nonetheless, He gave us his monster to destroy," Jeanne replied. "You should at least be grateful for it. You're not going to be beaten by a queen who bever left her castle, are you?"
"How harsh. I stayed in a castle too, but…" Camila giggled, "Heh. My talents are a match for any of the others." She turned to look at the Berserker Saber and Vlad, "Saber, Lancer. The next time we fight, will you let me handle the enemy Rider?"
"May I ask, why?"
"She is the person I wish to slaughter most in this world. It will be that woman, Marie, who kneels before me."
Camila noticed the silent berserker Saber and asked, "Oh, Saber. Is there something you'd like to add?"
"You're right. There's no point in me worrying about your sense of inferiority towards her," The berserker Saber answered after being snapped back into reality.
"What did you say?"
"..Stop. I don't care. It doesn't matter who beats who. The result doesn't change. I leave this in your hands. Don't get too out of control. Even Anti-Heroes have their dignity. Make sure you don't become mere murders," Jeanne Alter ordered as she flew off on a dragon.
As Jeanne Alter was out of her servants' sight, Carmilla commented, "..She flew off, huh? 'Dragon Witch' is certainly the right word for her."
"...The woman we just faced was the real Jeanne d'Arc, wasn't she?" The Berserker Saber wondered.
"What of it? Ours isn't fake either."
"And we are Servants, in search of blood. Though you may not be, even in this state, Chevalier D'Eon. The noble dragoon." Vlad said, revealing the Berserker Saber's identity.
"...I will obey my master. If she wishes to end the world, I will help her and I too, am under Madness Enhancement." D'Eon said in his serious tone and later warned with his glare, "Do not anger me…"
"Heh, My apologies."
"It's hard not to feel pity. The Queen they respected, who sent them a dress, is now her enemy. But that is the fate of a Servant. That is the nature of the Holy Grail War." Camilla declared. She then looked at Vlad and said, "Lancer, let's go. We must search for the next city. We are vampires, who must drink the blood of the living. Finding our next meal is a matter of life and death."
"Indeed, none of these meals are satisfactory. But I'll take what I can get," Vlad replied with his smile.

The carriage landed on the open grass field and everyone walked outside of it. It quickly dispelled and the Kamen Riders later arrived at their location with their motorcycle.
"You guys are okay," Ritsuka said with a sigh of relief at the Kamen Riders as he was worried about leaving them behind in the flying carriage.
"Of course we are! What are we; A slowpoke?" Den-O said, feeling a little offended by Ritsuka.
The Kamen Riders untransformed back to their civilian outfit. Marie skipped over towards them and examined their motorcycle bike one by one with her sparkling curious eyes, causing them to be a little awkward by her look. She was charmed and simply wanted to try to ride any of their bikes. Amadeus sighed in dejection at Marie's state and walked over to stop her. "Maria. You need to stop. You're scaring the gentlemen."
"I'm not scaring them, Amadeus. I just want to look at these metal horses and want to ride on it," Maire corrected, pointing at the Kamen Riders' bike.
"I know, but you need to restrict yourself."
"Oh, Like you restrict yourself from listening to everyone's voice, you perverted musician."
Amadeus felt his heart being struck by an arrow from Marie and the Kamen Riders were confused whether they felt little sympathy or not for him after his revelation from Marie.
Meanwhile, Mashu sighed in relief, "Phew, are we safe now?"
"I believe so, Mashu," Artoria replied, scanning around the field.
"Doctor?" Mashu asked Roman.
"Yes, Artoria is right. I'm not detecting them anymore. While we're at it, I'm picking up leyline readings from that nearby forest," replied Roman.
"Very well. Jeanne and..." Mashu said as she turned to Jeanne but saw Marie having interaction with Amadeus and the Kamen Riders. She turned to Ritsuka to ask for her permission. "Master, should I call them to come here?"
"Yes, but we need to go to the forest right now," Ritsuka suggested, pointing at the nearby forest.
"Agreed. It's a bad place to have an introduction where the enemy can see us," Archer said, supporting Ritsuka's suggestion.
"Okay, Master." Mashu agreed with Ritsuka's suggestion and walked over to the other side to call the Kamen Riders and two stray Servants to walk together with them to the forest.
[~~~~~]
The group was now walking through the forest while having a conversation.
"My Class is Rider, My true name is Marie Antoinette." Marie introduced herself to the group.
"Amadeus Wolfgang Mozart," Amadeus bowed a little. "Class is Caster… I'm more of a musician and I don't know why I'm being summoned here."
"R-right!" Mashu nodded. "My name is Mashu Kyrielight, my class is Shielder. This is my Master."
"Um… Whassup?" Ritsuka awkwardly waved before realizing his mistake of greeting Marie and Amadeus, making Cu hold his laughter, Artoria and Mashu were shocked, and Archer sighed while shaking his head.
"My what an interesting greeting!" Marie beamed. "Wh-whassup, my homies!"
'This is going to be real chaotic,' Archer thought before introducing, "Call me Archer."
"Artoria Pendragon, Saber."
"Cu Chulainn, Lancer."
"Jeanne d'Arc, Ruler."
"Tsugami Shouichi, Kamen Rider Agito."
"Nogami Ryotaro, Kamen Rider Den-O."
"Soma Haruto. Kamen Rider Wizard."
"Tenkuji Takeru. Kamen Rider Ghost."
Marie raised her eyebrow at the Kamen Rider and mumbled, "Kamen… Rider?"
"Okay, since you're all right, we should recap what just happened back in the town," Roman suggested to the groups. "We already saw and knew there were two Jeanne: one is Jeanne and the other is dark Jeanne. No offense, Jeanne."
"It's okay," Jeanne shrugged off Roman's apology.
"And what is the most surprising thing besides being rescued by Queen Antoinet…"
"There's no need to formally address me, Mister. Call me Maire. Like the sheep!" Marie corrected Roman, causing everyone to stare at her.
"I'm so confused about this," said Geiz.
"...Anyway, the most surprising thing besides being rescued by Maire and Amadeus is a group of monsters that we never see before appeared out of nowhere, and that guy, Sin, was a sort of boss for them," Roman said and turned to the Kamen Riders. "Is Sin a guy that you're chasing?"
Haruto nodded, "Yes, he easily admitted that he was responsible for the cause of the effect of singularities and summoning Phantoms and Lords here to stop us."
"Speaking of it, what are Phantoms and Lords, Haruto?" Mashu questioned as the Chaldea groups were curious to know more about them including Marie and Amadeus.
Haruto became silent for a moment and looked at the groups with concern. This made them become a mixture of fear, uneasy, and suspicious, which mostly came from Archer. He however began to say, "Well, you should all know the reason why I can use magic is that I have my inner phantom, Wizardragon."
This made the group shocked at Haruto's confession.
"Don't tell you're one of them?" Artoria asked in shock.
"Not exactly, Artoria. Phantom is being made of mana. The host, or what we call Gates, have dormant inner phantoms, though they have the potential to be a mage, if a Gate falls into despair, the phantom will eventually kill the Gate and materialize in the human world, unless they overcome it and regains hope like me."
"That's quite a detail about Phantom that you explain, Soma-San," Roman said in a surprised tone. "I still cannot believe that thing came from a human's magical potential."
"So, that's why you can use magic because of your inner phantom," Ritsuka said, making Haruto nod.
"Umm, what about Lords?" asked Mashu
"Lords, or Unknown that the police called them, are the powerful disciples serving under the Overlord of Darkness who create them," Shouichi replied, confusing the group.
"Overload of Darkness?"
"Well, they are technically servants of God."
"Eh?!" Jeanne asked in shock.
"He and his twin brother, Overlord of Light, had created the ancestors of humans over three thousand years ago along with Lord as their protector. However, they battled each other to settle who would rule over their creation. Overload of Darkness has won but Overload of Light bestows his essence to humans so that they would evolve beyond his control someday and his essence is the seed of Agito."
"What! You were blessed by God to fight his brother and his servant?!" Jeanne guessed with bewilderment.
"Yes. My friends and I had finally stopped him from committing genocide on humanity whom he thinks them of unworthy of existence," Shouichi added, making Jeanne have a headache.
"...Remind me again to never get you on tour's bad side because you riders are damn scary in your way," Cu told the riders with a little thought of fear.
"So, we're facing a dragon witch and her Servant, a monster made out of mana, and the servant of gods, huh" Roman recapped the details before groaning in despair. "Why are we facing powerful enemies from other worlds?"
"Doctor, we need to focus on our task," Kota reminded Roman.
"Right," Roman replied after regaining composure. "You are almost there at leyline."

Archer carried a pot of water to the campfire site that he materialized while Shouichi and Jeanne cut some vegetables into pieces. Cu walked towards them while carrying a wild boar in both hands for Archer to skin and cut its meat. Haruto took each of three rings with a sigil of each mythological creature: bird, unicorn, and Kraken. He then scanned on his belt to summon.
GARUDA, PLEASE!
A red plastic frame appeared and its unassembled parts began to move out of the frame. It then pieced together into a red bird.
UNICORN, PLEASE!
KRAKEN, PLEASE!
A blue and yellow plastic frame appeared as well and did exactly the identical movement to assemble. A blue unicorn and yellow Kraken. He inserted three rings into three creatures and they were brought back to life. Marie was awestruck by them and stroked lightly on the red bird which led her to do that. She turned to Haruto to ask, "What are these cute creatures?"
"PlaMonsters. They are the familiar that the mage has," Haruto replied with a smile. He then turned to his familiars. "Look around the area to alert us if there are Servants, Phantom, Lords, or supernatural creatures."
Haruto's familiars began to move out into the forest for a lookout, leaving Haruto and Marie alone.
In the forest, Ryotaro, Takeru, and Artoria carried a couple of leaves and branches while walking towards the campsite. Takeru squatted down under the branch to move forwards and Artoria pushed it aside to walk through but when she released the branch off, it flew back and smacked Ryotaro to his face and he fell to the ground. Both Takeru and Artoria turned to see him being downed and they quickly moved towards him to help.
"Are you alright, Ryotaro-San?" Takeru asked, reaching his hand out to Ryotaro.
"I'm okay," Ryotaro replied as he accepted Takeru's hand by grabbing and Takeru pulled him up to stand up.
"I apologized for not realizing that you're behind," Artoria apologized to Ryotaro.
"It's fine, Artoria. It happens all the time," assured Ryotaro.
As Ryotaro stood up, he, unfortunately, received a hit to the top of his head by a falling branch and fell to the ground. Both Takeru and Artoria cringed at his misfortune and tried to help him again.
Ritsuka and Mashu walked to join the others after establishing the summoning location at the leyline and being contacted by an unexpectedly individual, Da Vinic. They were simply lectured about Servant's class affinity which she described as a game of rock, paper, and scissors. For instance, Saber beat Lancer, Lancer beat Archer, and Archer beat Saber.
"You certainly took very long, Master?" Amadeus asked. "Do you have trouble with your magic?"
"Not exactly, Amadeus," Ritsuka replied, scratching the back of his head.
"Mister Wolfgang, why are you not doing anything reproductive while waiting for us to finish?" Mashu asked with his raised eyebrow.
"Please call me Amadeus, my dear," Amadeus corrected Mashu to simply call his first name. "And I'm just a musician who knows how to play and listen to music only."
"Even so, you can at least do something such as talk with Marie or help out with their cooking," Ritsuka said with a smile.
"Such a kind word coming from you, Master. Very flattering," Amadeus smiled in return.
[~~~~~]
While the group was having dinner, Marie and Jeanne began to have a lively conversation, ignoring the rest.
"I want to talk with you, Jeanne, as you're the one that I wished to meet in my life because you are the saint who saved France," said Maire.
Jeanne looked down with a sad smile, "I'm not a Saint…"
"Why is that? Everyone knows that's how you saw yourself. But the way you lead your life was true, and we all know the results. That's why everyone will always remember and admire the name Jeanne d'Arc, and the miracle of Orleans."
Jeanne became silent as she did not respond but Amadeus suddenly joined into her and Marie's conversation. "Of course, your life ended at the stake and resulted in that witch. It's just like Maria to only look at the good parts. Am I wrong, Jeanne d'Arc?"
Jeanne remained silent as she still ever responded. Amadeus then continued, "Your life was a little out of tune. Jeanne herself is the one who gets hurt when people call her a perfect saint." He turned to Marie. "Listen, Maria. You always say what you think others want to hear. Sometimes you need to scold or deny others."
Maria became upset at Amadeus and pouted, "I-I don't need to hear that from you, Amadeus! You already tell me that every day! T-This is what you want, right? You… piano brain! Piece of human garbage! You're a pervert who can only get it up for musical scales! If you like music so much, you should turn yourself into a piano!"
"...I don't know if I should say this, but when you insult me like that, I feel something indescribable. But you see? You can do it if you try! Give the same treatment to Jeanne. Faster, Stronger, More violent! Tell her all her flaws as you can see them!"
The group was either amused or embarrassed at the display and Cu commented, "What the hell am I watching?"
"Should we stop them?" Ryotaro asked the group.
The group shrugged that they did not know the way to handle the sort of situation between the french servants and let the conversation play out.
"Non, that's impossible, Amadeus. Human garbage like you has nothing but flaws. Jeanne herself has none too," Maria countered Amadeus's advice.
Amadeus was shocked by Maria and said with his mock gesture. "Are you serious? I didn't know you had it that bad. You really did love Jeanne d'Arc, didn't you?"
Jeanne was silent at Marie until she spoke out, "...Marie Antoinette. Your words honor me, but that's why I must confess. In life, I was no saint. I held the flag high for what I believed in, and as a result, I… I stained my hands with blood." Jeanne looked at her food. "...Of course, I don't regret that. Nor do I regret the Inquisition or my death. But I shred too much blood. I believed in the dreams of a little country girl, but at the time, I never imagined how high the price of that dream was. I never regretted it, but never did I fear…" Jeanne looked at Marie. "And that is my greatest sin. Only the outcome of my actions made me a saint. I do not think it's the right word for a country girl like me."
Jeanne's statement caused everyone to have different reactions and they tried to ignore it, but some could not. Marie however asked with understanding, "...I see. So, you're not a saint, right? Then, may I call you Jeanne?"
Jeanne was surprised. "...Y-Yes. Of course, it feels like that would bring back old memories."
"Wonderful. Call me Marie, then. If you're simply Jeanne and not a saint, then I want to be Marie and not a queen. Please Jeanne, will you call me Marie?"
"Y-yes. All right… Thank you, Marie," Jeanne smiled.
While Jeanne and Marie were talking, Ryotaro smiled that nothing worse happened between them. He lifted his bowl to his mouth to take a sip from the soup but he was careless as it burned his mouth and he accidentally dropped the bowl. It then splashed on the ground and his shoes. He quickly stood up and moved behind to take off his shoes. This amused the group at his misfortune.
"Does it always happen to him?" asked Artoria.
"You could say that, but he has a long streak of bad luck," Takeru nervously replied, causing the chaldea group to be shocked.
"How bad was it?" Archer asked Takeru, slightly nervous.
"Let's just say that... he got stuck on the tree with his bicycle," Takeru replied again.
The Chaldea group was in huge disbelief that Ryotaro's luck was way below the misfortune or disaster level and wondered how he survived it in his entire life.

A cricket sound was heard during the night and the stars were shown across the black skies. Ritsuka took a brisk walk around the area from the camp nearby. He was having trouble sleeping as his thoughts were filled with doubt and fear. He wondered if he could correct this singularity back to the proper history with his abilities as a master because it was too much of a burden. He was truly afraid after seeing Jeanne Alter and her servants, the destruction of the town, and the Kaijins from the Kamen Riders' world. However, he cannot afford to be like that in this state so he must try to do his best.
"You seem down, Fujimaru."
Ritsuka turned around to see Jeanne and apologized, "Miss Jeanne! Sorry…"
"Don't worry. It's embarrassing, but I couldn't sleep either," Jeanne giggled.
"...Still thinking about your other self?"
"...of course," Jeanne said as she became downhearted. "I don't know anymore. I don't know which one is the real me?"
Ritsuka became quiet, seeing Jeanne being sorrowful but he completely understood her because she was having an identical but different similar to himself. He could not bear to see her being down so he decided to cheer her up with whatever word he could say. "Miss Jeanne, Mashu looks up to you after I heard your words and me, who didn't know a thing about you. You're an amazing person because you show courage and save the people who falsely believed that you're a dragon witch therefore I believe that you're the real one who never let your hope become despair."
Jeanne was stunned to hear from Ritsuka and felt her mood being lightened up by his words. She then smiled. "Thank you, Furjimaru, and please call me Jeanne only, not miss."
"Call me Ritsuka as well," Ritsuka returned a smile.
"Now then, Ritsuka, let's head back. We don't want to make Mashu worry."
"Oh, right!"
All of the sudden, one of Haruto's familiars, a blue unicorn, flew towards them with its neigh sound out of brushes. This surprised Ritsuka and Jeanne to turn around to look at it in a quick second.
"Is that…"
"Haruto's familiar."
"Master and Miss Jeanne!"
Ritsuka and Jeanne turned around to see Mashu jogging towards them with her shield.
"I'm sorry, both of you. It appears to be an enemy attack!" Mashu shouted.
[~~~~~]
Artoria slashed the wyvern's head off its body while Cu thrust through another wyvern's body and Archer shot his bow at a couple of flying wyverns. Maria and Amadeus fired their mana blast at wyverns as well to assist Archer. The Kamen Riders, who were already in their transformation gears, however, fought ghoul and Formica Pedes who just appeared out of the forest. Ritsuka, Mashu, and Jeanne arrived in time to join the battle.
"Hey, Kid. Where the hell have you been?" Cu asked while dodging the fire breath from the wyvern after seeing Ritsuka and others.
"Sorry, Lancer. I took a walk for a bit," Ritsuka apologized.
Suddenly, Roman's voice came out after the beep sound of Ritsuka's communication wrist device was heard. "Servants detected! Also, multiple life-forms detected!"
"More coming?" asked Agito.
Mashu turned around to Ritsuka and called, "Master."
"Take them down!" Ritsuka commanded loudly.
"Yes!"
"What a drag. I've detected it, too. Having good hearing isn't always a good thing," Amadeus exclaimed in annoyance. "I hate this sound so much that it makes me want to scream. The sound of an enemy's footsteps is worse than a high-pitched trumpet."
Mashu quickly turned around and asked in bewilderment, "You can hear them at this distance?"
"Of course. I became a Servant because of my music. I can detect any sound wave in the air. For instance, the sound of you and Maria sleeping when we were camping. I enjoyed listening to them both. But not just the sound of you sleeping. I have recorded all the tiny sounds your body makes in my Wolfgang Recorder!"
The female servants became disguised as well as the male servants and Kamen Riders. Artoria gripped her sword tightly and glared at Amadeus and Mashu screamed in fear, "A-A sexually harassing Servant!"
"Do you want to die," Artoria snarled.
"I'm sorry, everyone. As his keeper, I apologize, but bear with him a little," Marie apologized. "Without his ears, he is nothing more than a pervert!"
Amadeus was hurt by Marie's words and became upset, looking at Marie. "What are you saying? Human beings create filth just by living! Only by realizing that can you create true music. Life is filth, and music cleanses it." He then turned away from Marie and focused on the Wyvern and Kaijins. "Now then, I hear footsteps and disgusting groaning, Human beings create filth just living! Naught but boorish noise. I do not write my music for fools, but- You've come all this way. I shall play my Requiem of Death for you!"
Amadeus fired his conducting stick to create shockwaves to know both wyverns and Kaijins.
"Oh no. the Servant had just arrived! Be Careful, Everyone!" Roman shouted, alerting the groups.
A female voice called out, "Hello, everybody. What a lonely night."
The group turned around to the direction where the female voice came from and saw the Berserker Rider walking towards them with her staff and a sad smile on her face.
"Who are you?" Jeanne questioned the Berserker Rider.
"A broken saint," Jeanne murmured.
"Yes, thanks to her, my reason has left, and I've gone mad. I am doing everything I can to hold myself back. What a mess this is," The Berserker Rider sighed before turning serious. "So, while I appreciate your hopes, I cannot join you. You don't want a Servant who'll stab you from behind at every single opportunity, do you?"
Jeanne frowned and asked, "Then why did you come here?"
"My task was to observe you, but my waning reason whispers that I should test you. You face the Dragon Witch. Disaster incarnate, riding on the 'ultimate dragon.'" The Berserker Rider said. "If you cannot surpass me, you will never defeat her. Defeat me. Plunge your blade into my heart without hesitation."
"You're eager to die, aren't you," Cu grinned as he pointed his spear at the Berserker Rider. "Very well, we will gladly do that."
"Don't get too excited, Lancer. You might make a mistake that will get you killed," Artoria reminded while reading her sword.
"She's right even though I want to see your dead body," Archer agreed with Artoria.
"I'm not going to get myself killed, you bastard, and I won't give you some satisfaction," Cu replied to Archer.
"We will stop you, Saint," Jeanne said as she moved to her fighting stance.
"Very well! My true name is Martha," The Berserker Rider introduced herself.
"Martha?" Ghost said before widening his eyes, "Don't tell me…"
Jeanne made a first move to attack Martha but Roman's voice suddenly spoke out, "Martha… Saint Martha? Watch out, everyone!"
"Why is something wrong, Doc and Ghost?" Wizard asked with a concerned tone.
As Jeanne was about to reach Martha for a strike, she, unfortunately, saw a creature out of nowhere in front of her and swung its paw at her, who fortunately guarded herself with her flagpole. She flew backward by its powerful swing and dragged her foot to stop. She then stood firmly and saw the creature which was revealed to be an enormous dragon-like turtle. The group was surprised at its display.
"What the hell is that thing? Is that her pet?" Den-O questioned in disbelief at the creature.
"That's Iron Dragon Tarasque," Ghost answered, pointing at the creature. "She once defeated a dragon with nothing but prayers and she's a Dragon Rider."
"Let us see if you are capable of slaying me!" Martha announced loudly while Tarasque roared.
"Everyone, there's another multiple life-form detected!" shouted Roman.
A couple of shadow figures walking out of the forest, revealing themselves to be Lords and Phantoms.
"Tch, great," Archer mumbled sarcastically, "More trouble."
A large bull-like armored humanoid creature with long horns swung his arm and conjured a small couple of fireballs towards the group but the group easily dodged it. Archer fired his bow and hit Minotaurs Phantom, staggering it. Artoria noticed the same black crow-like humanoid creatures diving towards her but she conjured the blade of her sword to be covered in blue and swung at it. Corvus Luscus, unfortunately, blocked with its sword but knocked away and landed on the ground roughly.
"Master, your order?" asked Mashu.
"Defeat Martha, but be careful," Ritsuka commanded his servants.
"Roger," Mashu acknowledged as she readied her shield.
As the group prepared to fight Matha and the kaijin, Amadeus complimented with the hint of disguise and annoyance in his voice, "This is going to be noisy and unsavory to my taste."
Extra Notes
I have Haruto and Shouichi to explain their respective kaijin's origin to the Chaldea because it seems fair that they faced them for a long time.
I did create my versions of phantom and Lord like Goblin Phantom and Horse Lord but it's also hard at the same time. In addition, I planned what kind of power some OC Kaijins will have in the battle with Chaldea and Kamen Riders. As for the Kaijins, I also have a difficult time picking any of them to be capable of fighting with the Servant.
I'm also sorry that the canon story seems out of place as the scene was supposed to happen and the following scene afterward just like the FGO Story cutscene.
As for the character's interaction, I tried my best to balance it and make more screen time in the story for either of them.
If you all have a problem with it along with my story, I will try my best to rewrite it to suit your taste.
