It was hard to see in this dark sewer, and finding my way around using with only eyes and flashlight is difficult. So I unloaded the magazine of my 1911, then I racked the slide to check the chamber. Seeing that the chamber was empty I loaded the magazine back in. With no round in the chamber, I have no worry about summoning my persona.
Putting the muzzle against my temple, I relaxed, squeezed in the grip-safety then pulled the trigger. The hammer hits the firing pin, sounding a click. Like a primer that was hit, it created a chain reaction that warms my heart then follows its way up and out of my mind in a blink of an eye. After that was a sound of dimesional glass breaking, opening a way for my persona to manifest. And here rise Michael an archangel, his skin was bronze and so were the back color of his feathered wings while their front color is white. He wears a gold muscle cuirass and a white robe, while in his hand is a golden spear ready to smite down all heathens and devils.
"Lead the way sir Michael," I said.
Michael nodded and start sensing his surroundings, once done he lauched himself forward like a missile while leaving me behind. He transmitted his thoughts and findings to me while in flight and I followed the directions he had went as if I myself have walked those directions. Somewhere along the way, he stopped. I felt my mind going a bit light and then that strange sensation stopped just as sudden. Michael had attacked something, he seems to have electrocuted them all.
A minute passed and I was there, I saw what Michael saw through my own eyes. With flashlight shone on them they were still dark as the shadow surrounding me. It had stopped moving so I can presume that it had died. What's more troubling than that is that there are multiple of these things around this path. These tentacles... I don't want to think too far ahead.
"Let's continue."
So we rushed forward with no worries, only thing stopping me from reaching Uryuu Ryuunosuke is our distance from each other.
Michaal took the liberty to went further than me, striking and frying anything that's in his way at the cost of my psyche. Until finally, he stopped. Through his eyes, I saw him held a man at spear point. And through his sense, I can see that this man held magical powers within himself.
I told him to look around for Uryuu and Michael looked to the left. Here is my target, bloodied hands wielding a knife, behind him was a corpse of a child whose limbs were nailed on a concrete pillar. And far ahead were many more childs nailed like the one Uryuu was torturing.
I made myself speed up, work my legs, propelling myself faster and faster. When I came by Michael's side, my heart was burning and I was sweating heavily. My shoes made wet sounds as I walk towards my target and my nose were filled with disgusting smell of rotting blood.
The scent of it was familliar to me.
"Uryuu Ryuunosuke?"
"Who's asking?"
"Yuki Makoto. My job is to kill you and be done with it. But I have some questions that need answered first. So you will answer them. You and your partner. I will not spare either of you after I satisfy my curiosity, so don't count on it. Consider this as you living on my time. Fist question: What's all the kids for?"
Uryuu shrugged his shoulders. "Just for entertainment," he said. I punched my pistol into his stomach and smashed the butt of the grip onto his skull.
Uryuu was sprawled on the floor, rolling around and making pained noise in a comical way as if I wouldn't kill him after all of this.
"You," I pointed to his partner. "Answer the question."
"Just as he said." The bug eyed man answered. So these were just two sadist, huh?
"Who are you then?"
The man glared at me as a response.
For that, I considered hurting Uryuu to force him to speak. Then, I noticed something on the back of his left hand. It was markings of sort, red and looks very important. As if they were magic.
I flipped him on his stomach and he protested with a "Hey!". Then I stomped on his nape to keep him still, I bit the butt of my flashlight to shine it on the markings and pulled my switch blade out. I held the blade in a reverse grip and stabbed the blade down on the markings then pulled the blade back before Uryuu had the chance to feel it.
Once he did, he clutched his wrist and screamed while calling me hurtful names, cursing my ancestors, my families, friends, associates and my future bloodlines. He ended it all with an "I'll kill you!"
While Uryuu was crying about his hand under my foot, I began talking to buggsy again.
"What were those marking?"
Buggsy looked at his friend with empathy and sorrow. That look lingered longer than I'd like but when he finally conceded it was worth the effort. We had a long talk afterwards, all the while Uryuu was bleeding on the ground from his hand and the now called Caster occasinally looks at him with concern.
From what Caster told me, the markings on Uryuu's left hand are command seals. Which are granted by the Holy Grail for those that are chosen to battle in the Holy Grail war to obtain the aforementioned Grail with the hope that it would fullfll your one wish. The chosen participant of this war are called Master and their summoned familliar is called Servant. With the Grail requiring seven Masters there will be seven Servant. Each of these Servants will belong to their own class: Saber, Lancer, Archer, Caster, Rider, Berserker and Assassin.
So the man I'm talking to is Caster, Servant of Uryuu Ryuunosuke - his Master. And they were going to fight for this Holy Grail to obtain their one wish.
I can't allow that. People like these, obtaining a wishing device? Not a chance.
Pierce his heart.
Michael followed my command and thrusted his spear down, skewering Caster while I lined my sight with Uryuu's skull and fired. As a great fireball escaped the muzzle of the 1911 for a flash of a second, the sound of the exploded bullet reverberated against the walls and made it even louder than I expected.
Uryuu died a street death, while Caster's body was engulfed in colorful flames before his body eventually disintegrate.
My mind felt tired and sleepy but my legs feels it more. It feels pain even. So I have Michael carried me like a dumb animal back to where I started so I only have to make minimum physical effort to make it back to my driver. When I get home, I will shower then sleep. The Holy Grail thing can wait for another time.
Author's note: This idea has been in my mind for way too long. So I decided to just go through with it and finally publish my ideas out there. I'm not too familliar with the Fate series so I hope you can forgive and point out whatever discrepencies I made. And if updates are too slow for you, then that's because I'm just writing this in my freetime.
