Chapter 25: The Oldest Villain – Part - 1:

Inside the Villain's Basement, Matou Zouken alongside his servant Gilgamesh comforts the Villain's band known as the League of Villains and their leader Shigaraki Tomura.

Tomura: So, you gave them a message, old man?

Zouken: Yes. Now the people will suffer despair and agony now.

Tomura: *laughs* Interesting! I would love to see how they will suffer.

Then another villain serves Gilgamesh a coffee and then Matou Shinji appears.

Shinji: Yo everyone!

Tomura: It seems you are interested with being a villain, right Shinji? No. Toga Himiko.

Shinji transforms into a blonde haired sadistic girl, showing them a true form.

Himiko: As I expected from the leader of Villains. Man. I saw how that boy becomes furious because of that bitch! I hate her! How dare she try to steal the guy who I want to be with!

Zouken: Don't Himiko. We better not to take action right away. We'll do that in right time but be careful with the Magus especially Emiya Shirou and his team.

Himiko: I understand old man. Ah! By the way, you should take a look at your grandson. He is getting nuts nowadays.

Then Zouken and Gilgamesh join with Toga Himiko and then they went inside where they saw a real Matou Shinji, who is playing with a toy.

Zouken still remembers how the implosion changed their lives and then they ended up joining the Villains.

Few months ago, after Sakura left with All Might, Kotomine Kirei enters Matou Mansion.

Kotomine: It seems there was a mess, Matou Zouken?

Zouken: Yeah. Sakura is involved with a most famous superhero called All Might. I wanted to kill him for creating a rampage here but I had no other choice to let my granddaughter go with them.

Kotomine: That was a wise decision. We can't let the heroes involve in Holy Grail War. What about her command spells?

Zouken: I have them.

Zouken shows the books.

Kotomine: Good. Since Matou Sakura is out from Holy Grail War, we should focus on that. Your grandson will take part as a replacement.

Zouken: Speaking about Holy Grail War, why did you start the war quite early? I thought you set up in winter.

Kotomine: I have several reasons why we start the war this time but I can't tell you why. Don't worry; I'll set up an invisible barrier so no heroes will interfere.

Zouken: Yeah. You better do that. My granddaughter is no longer an heir. I'll find someone else instead. I don't want to lose a grail because of the heroes.

Kotomine: I agree with you. Excuse me.

Before Kotomine leaves, he looks at the destroyed portion.

Kotomine: What a mess. Never mind.

After Kotomine leaves, Zouken looks at his disappointed and unhappy grandson.

Zouken: I'm counting on you, Shinji. You must win this war no matter what. Sakura is gone now. You don't need to think about her anymore. She is no longer an heir of Matou family.

Shinji: Tsk!

Matou Shinji walks away angrily while Zouken looks on.

Zouken: Keep an eye on him, Rider.

Rider: I understand.

Then a night after Shirou and Rin left Matou Mansion, Shinji kicks off the bed due to frustration.

Shinji: Damn! Who do the hell is he think, huh?! I wanted to kill him now!

Zouken: You should kill him but tomorrow when you invade Homuhara Academy.

Shinji: But what about Sakura?

Zouken: Like I said, you don't need to think about her. Do you want to become an heir of Matou Family? Then you must kill him.

Shinji: I see.

Then he makes an evil smile.

Shinji: Finally, I am able to get what I want. *laughs*

Then Zouken takes Shinji and shows him a pit of worms inside.

Zouken: Shinji, if you fail to kill him, I'll throw you in the pit of worms, understand?!

Shinji quietly nodded.

Zouken: Good. Now take my warning seriously.

Before Grail Implosion, Zouken is keeping an eye on the battle between Shinji and Shirou at Homuhara Academy via Magical Crystal Ball but suddenly, he witnessed both Saber and Rider killed by the black meteor, shocking him.

Zouken: What?!

Then a black meteor strikes near his mansion and Zouken had no choice but to split his worms in order to escape and then he hides inside to the dungeon.

After the grail implosion, Zouken and his worms reunited and come out form the dungeon. He is shocked and horrified when he saw the whole city turned into ruins.

Zouken: What's going on here?

Then he looks at the Kotomine Church and he becomes angry, rushes there inside and enters the church.

Zouken: KOTOMINE! WHERE ARE YOU?! KOTOMINE!

Then he saw Gilgamesh alone.

Zouken: Where is he?! Where is Kotomine?!

Gilgamesh throws a sword at him.

Gilgamesh: Be quiet, mongrel. You are too noisy.

Zouken: Where is Kotomine?

Gilgamesh: Kotomine is dead.

Zouken is shocked and Gilgamesh explains how he died.

Zouken: What about the grail?

Gilgamesh didn't respond and Zouken realized about that.

Zouken: I see. The Holy Grail War is no more.

Himiko: I see. Holy Grail War, huh?

Toga Himiko appears out of nowhere, alerting them and she is carrying unconscious Shinji via her back.

Gilgamesh: Who are you?!

Zouken: Shinji? He is alive?

Himiko: Run. Heroes are coming. They will investigate this city. Kurogiri.

Then another villain summons a portal via shadow and Kurogiri alongside Himiko, Zouken and Gilgamesh went inside to the portal and abandons Kotomine Church, leaving Fuyuki City in the process.

Then they all arrived to the hideout where Kurogiri went to brew a coffee and Himiko takes an unconscious Shinji inside and Zouken and Gilgamesh met a leader of League of Villains.

All for One: Welcome to the League of Villains. My name is All for One.

All for One offers a handshake to Zouken and the latter accepts and that's how he met the Villains.
