Okay! Here's the next chapter! It may be a bit confusing when I mention Saber. You'll see why.

P.S This chapter is a bit shorter than the last one. Please review!

Also, if there is no POV line that means it will be told in third person.

Chapter 2- A Different Saber

Location: Tokyo Airport

A large airport streamed with crowds of people, all finally reaching their final destination while others were trying to catch their flights and not be left behind. Among this crowd were two teenage girls, one blonde that made her stand out from crowd and the other with black hair that made her mix in with the dark haired group.

The pair were on their way out of the airport when the black haired girl asked the blonde a question that had been on her mind ever since they had gotten on the plane from France.

"Hey Rul- I mean Jeanne, Will we really be okay in this war? And why is it in Tokyo? The Grail War I was participating in was in Fuyuki City." Rin said as she glanced around.

"Well, as I said, different worlds or universes have different wars. The one I told you about when I was last summoned was in Trifas. It makes sense that this war would be in a different place. But I do agree, we should be as careful as possible. The servants in this city may not like that we are here and attack, it happened in Trifas. Another irregularity that I'm picking up now is the presence of four more servants, but I don't know where they are or how they came to Tokyo." Jeanne said in response.

Rin was silent, her eyes taking in the new information. "I would have said that that's impossible... but with everything that has happened I suppose that it's not." She glanced at Jeanne. "How could you not sense the extra servants before?"

"I think that the extra four were recently summoned, that's why I didn't know until now." Jeanne frowned, she did not like this new information at all, but at least there was an up side. "However, on a good note, the servant Saber from the first regular Greater Grail War actually destroyed the Greater Grail by the end, after defeating all the other servants and masters." Jeanne began. "Apparently this Saber was summoned once again for this war. I have confidence that Saber along with his master shall aid us."

"How do you know that they'll help us?" Rin asked, feeling a sense of foreboding. She didn't know this universe's Saber. If this Saber had destroyed the Grail of their own will then chances were that they'd help Ruler. If Saber was forced to destroy the Grail... well, things could get bad.

Jeanne just looked at Rin, a reassuring smile on her face. "I have faith." She said simply.

Rin suppressed a sigh, it wasn't the worse thing she had heard from an ally. In the short time that she had known her it felt like Ruler would be more reliable than Shirou. She may have loved his naivete, but she already felt that Ruler was much more compatible with her. She was more realistic and didn't have a hero complex like that idiot.

Ayaka POV

A girl with barely shoulder length black hair sighed as she walked home, she hated this, during the past few weeks her life had been on the line more than she could count. She didn't even want to be in the second Greater Grail War; what was even more ridiculous was that she had summoned the first ranked servant while being the seventh ranked master. Which actually made the other masters want to kill her more.

And if being in a war that she didn't want to participate in, today at school had been completely horrible, she had gotten a test back only to see that she had practically failed the test.

"Ayaka," She watched her servant suddenly appear from thin air; he had tousled golden blonde hair, fair skin and clear emerald green eyes. Instead of his usual blue and silver Armor, he had on a red shirt, black pants and a long black overcoat. "Are you okay? You look like something's bugging you."

"I'm fine Saber." Ayaka sighed, she always felt guilty when she looked at him; he was the strongest servant and yet he was stuck with the weakest master. At least he didn't seem to resent it yet.

Suddenly, Ayaka was pulled from her train of thought as Saber put his arm in front of her, blocking her way, green eyes narrowed and intense. "Show yourself." He said in a simple yet commanding tone.

There was a pause before two girls girls stepped out from behind one of the brick walls that lined the street. One was a blonde with clear amethyst colored eyes and the other had black hair with aqua blue eyes.

"Greetings." The blonde said, bowing politely, a kind and gentle smile on her lips. "I am the servant Ruler and this is Rin."

Saber kept his eyes carefully blank but inside surprise flooded through him. Ruler? Why was Ruler here? "What can we do for you Ruler?" He kept his tone distant. For all he knew this was a trick to catch them off guard.

For her part, Ayaka looked at Saber in confusion. Who was Ruler? Whoever she was, she seemed to put Saber in a defensive mode, so that was enough to alarm her. Was this a new enemy? Hadn't they already met all the servants?! Why were more popping up?

"I came for your assistance on the Greater Grail War. Is there a place that we may talked privately?" Jeanne asked.

Saber exchanged a glance with Ayaka, the young girl looked completely nervous, her eyes staying completely on Jeanne and Rin. "Do you have proof that you are the Ruler class?"

Jeanne didn't miss a beat. "Saber, you destroyed the Greater Grail the last time it appeared." That was enough to convince Saber that Jeanne was actually Ruler. No one else should have known that.

Once Ayaka saw Saber relax slightly, she nodded. "My house is close, it should be private enough." She started walking again, hearing the others follow after a moment of hesitance. If only they realized she was more nervous than all of them put together.

Rin POV

Rin couldn't stop staring at Saber; it was too much of a coincidence, the blonde hair and green eyes, the regal bearing. The only question was why was Saber male? The King Arthur she knew was definitely a female.

"Is there something I can help you with?" Rin silently cursed herself, of course Saber would notice her staring at him.

"You just remind me of someone I knew." Rin said, blushing when she got his full attention; his green eyes seemed more intense than she remembered. Or was it because he wasn't a girl?

"A boyfriend perhaps?" The teasing tone and smile definitely weren't what Rin was used to from her Saber. This male Saber had a teasing side. Great. She did not need that. Hadn't she gotten enough teasing from Archer?

"No." Rin snapped, maybe a bit harsher than she intended. Before she knew it, they were at Ayaka's house and sitting in the living room. Was she really paying that little attention to her surroundings? She really was losing her touch.

"So..." Saber said, "What did you want to talk about Ruler?" He looked at the blonde intensely, his green eyes demanded answers.

Rin watched as Jeanne didn't even hesitate at all as she explained the irregularities of this Greater Grail War, wincing slightly when Jeanne explained Rin's situation and hating the sympathetic look that she got from Saber. This male Saber seemed more open with his emotions as well; so not what she was used to seeing. Her Saber was usually stoic and calm.

She also listened patiently as Ayaka and Saber explained the current Grail War that was happening in Tokyo. Turns out, the First Grail War in this world ended pretty bad, with Ayaka losing her family in the process.

"Can we count on your help?" Jeanne asked when Saber had finished, looking at both Ayaka and Saber.

"I-I don't know." Ayaka said, "I didn't even want to participate in this Grail War. I'm already doing my best to protect myself. Plus, from what I've heard there seems to be a lot of unknown factors."

Rin gave Ayaka a sympathetic look. From what she had gathered, this girl was in the same position that Shirou had been in at the very beginning of the Grail War; a participant that was unexpected. The only difference was that Shirou hadn't known about the Grail War until then and he wanted to fight to protect people. Ayaka knew about the Grail War and was afraid to participate because of what had happened to her Father and sister.

"We should help Ayaka." Saber said calmly. Not knowing what is happening in this War... I feel as if it is my obligation to protect those that aren't involved from the darkness that Ruler speaks of. Not as the servant Saber, but as myself."

Saber sighed, before turning to his master, "However, it is completely your decision. You are my master and I shall respect your wishes."

Ayaka looked up at Saber, hesitance and fear in her blue eyes before they hardened with determination. "I don't want to fight in this Greater Grail War... but if I don't want others to suffer because of my cowardice. I want to fight and become stronger."

Rin couldn't help but smile, now that was something that Shirou would have said. Maybe they had more in common than she had first thought, Ayaka just needed more of a helping hand to get there.

"That's my girl." Saber said, smiling at Ayaka, making her blush a deep red before turning back to Jeanne and Rin. "We'll help you."

"I'm glad," Jeanne said returning his smile. "One more thing, it's the same request I gave Rin but when we are alone I would like you to call me by my true name. Jeanne, as I am Jeanne d'Arc."

"The Saint of Orléans?" Sabers eyes widened. "Are you sure that is wise?"

"It's better to be called by my name than Ruler in public when we are surrounded by civilians." Jeanne said simply.

Saber nodded mutely. "Then it seems only fair for you all to know my identity as well. I am-" He was cut of by Rin blurting his name out.

"Arthur Pendragon." Rin blurted out, unable to hold herself back. "Better known as King Arthur, King of Britain or the King of Knights." The other three stared at her stunned.

"How did you know?" Jeanne asked. "I knew immediately since being able to see a servants true identity is an ability of the Ruler class but how did you find out?"

"Let's just say that I know King Arthur from my own universe." Rin said simply before looking at him, confusion in her eyes.

"The only question I have is why this King Arthur is a male instead of a female."

End of the Chapter! The next one may be longer, depending on what I choose to do next. But how was it?

The next chapter is when this story really diverts from the first draft!
