Author's Notes:

Hey everyone! Thanks for tuning in on the last chapter of the story, well in that chapter we saw that the fight between the pirates ended in an unexpected way. With the spearman now known as the Trojan hero Hektor, who then proceeds to kidnap Euryale much to the shock of the heroes.

Now it's up to them to go rescue Medusa's other sister, from the clutches of Hektor. Who was now on the run from them to parts unknown, with Asterios and Medusa worrying about Euryale safety.

Quartzer 8

1573: a Trojan rematch

3rd POV

In an unknown ship, Okeanos

Year 1573

We then open up with a blond man sitting in a chair, when suddenly a young girl with lavender hair and white gown and is holding a staff said, "Excuse me. I'm coming in, Master."

"Hey, what's going on? My beloved!"

"Lord Hektor contacted us. It seems he caught Euryale."

"I see! I see, I see, I see! All right! We were told, if we offer up Euryale, we can obtain even more power. Me! I'll be more powerful than anyone. I'll be invincible! Wouldn't that be amazing?"

"Yes, very. I think that would be extremely amazing, Master."

"I like your smile. Your smile is like the sun. It never fails to enrich my heart. Oh, but you seem a little tired. Are you all, right? You've been the ship's power source for so long. I want you to tell me when it gets too hard. See. Just a bit. If it is just a bit, I can think about letting you rest." The man said.

"T-Thank you very much! But it's fine. Your words alone are enough for me to go on."

"Perfect—yes. That's how you should be. The woman who will become my lovely wife. As soon as Hektor returns, let's go search for "you-know-what." I mean, where the hell is it? You still haven't received any oracle?"

"Correct. I assume that as soon as Lord Hektor returns, I will receive an oracle showing where we must go.

"What's with all these problems... They always keep dragging me down... Ah, I'm really sorry. I don't mean to blame them. But I have the right to receive these oracles too. Why is it only you–?"

"...? What is it, Master?"

"...Nothing. Haste makes waste, I guess. That's right, that must be it. For now, I'll believe in your oracles, and do my best as the captain." The man muttered.

"Yes, that is what we hope. Let's go welcome Lord Hektor. We members of Argonautai are undefeatable heroes. There is no way a random group like theirs can win." The girl smiled.

"Yes, you're right! We are the strongest! There is no mistake. Our strength is unparalleled! We have the world's greatest, strongest hero, and
witch on our side! Oh, and there's one useless woman, too. Hmph, to think someone would vow chastity to someone like Artemis and reject my invitation like that. Should be a shark's meal by now. Serves her right. Now, everybody! Prepare to depart! We shall obtain the "Ark." Even the golden ram pales in comparison to this treasure. With the Holy Grail and the "Ark," I will reign as the king of Okeanos!"

As another Order opens this time Zi-O and Ritsuka are going to journey across the seas. As they search for the next Holy Grail and fix the next Era.

Oh, yeah, Oh...

We saw Mash, Ritsuka, Roman, Da Vinci look and marveled at the Rider kicking Kamen Riders, when suddenly they saw Zi-O, Den O, Ghost, Build, Wizard and Decade walking as their faces are now shown.

As it switches to Geiz with them duking it out as the title appears.


Drake POV

In the Golden Hind, Okeanos

Year 1573

We then cut to the Golden Hind which was now sailing with Drake saying, "Full speed ahead! Hey, lookout! Pay close attention to what's ahead! Once you see that ship, call out!"

"Aye, aye, Boss!" The Pirate replied.

"...That tiny ship is faster than it looks. With their head start, unless they stop, we might not catch up..."

"Uh, uuh..."

"Hey! Hey! It's okay! Calm down!" Zi-O said.

"Don't worry, she won't die." Mash agreed.

"Eu...ryale... I... will...save you."

"...I understand how you feel. But for now, concentrate on healing your wounds."

"Me too… I also wanted to rescue Nee-sama, but we need to be cautious!"

"No!"

"Hey! Hey! We promise… We'll help too." Ritsuka assured.

"... ... Do... You... Promise?"

"Of course. Drake is sailing the ship at top speed with that very same thought."

"...Uh."

As they continue to talk a crewmember shouted, "Boss! A pirate ship's headed our way!"

"WHAT!"

"Damn, at a time like this!?"

"Master, Everyone, let's take them out quickly." Mash said.

"...Crush!"

They then started to fight the pirates, with the latter group being easily beaten by the heroes with Mash regrouping with the others, "Master, Tokiwa-san... I'm sure Blackbeard said "Hektor." If that's the case, then that spear is the sword "Durandal," later inherited by Roland, one of the Twelve Paladins of Charlemagne. Or rather, the base for that sword. It's a miracle that Asterios didn't die. That's how powerful that spear was." Mash said.

"But I wonder what Hektor plans to do, with Euryale."

"Yeah, I was wondering that myself…" Sento agreed.

"Human trafficking... No, it can't be."

"...But he sounded like he had a clear goal in his mind from the beginning."

"Yes. From the start, Servant Hektor had his eye on Mistah Blackbeard's Holy Grail."

"Now that you mention it… Blackbeard seemed wary of that. Blackbeard seemed wary of that." Tsukuyomi said.

"I can understand the Holy Grail, but why Euryale?"

"Yes, Euryale-neesama doesn't do much fighting… I always have to protect her."

"I agree… It's not about bolstering forces. Euryale herself isn't that powerful of a Servant. I think what makes her special is the fact that she IS a Servant."

"What do you mean by that?" Artoria Alter asked.

"I agree… What do you mean?"

"Actually, in the past, we met "another" her... No, maybe her... Big sister, perhaps? Anyway, we met a girl summoned as a Servant
despite being a goddess.
Euryale is not a hero, nor is she someone whose name is engraved into history. She was treated as a goddess in Greek mythology. "The one who flies far"–that is Euryale. Or she was a monster. The middle sister of–the three Gorgons. The youngest is the famous Medusa, I can see her being summoned into a Holy Grail War. But not Euryale. She is just a goddess, an idol of ideals, and undoubtedly weak. For her to be summoned as a Servant is a strange phenomenon. ...Though some other Servants are just as peculiar. Usually it's hard for Divine Spirits to become Servants. Unless there is a really special case. In addition, a pure god becoming a Servant is something that isn't supposed to happen in the world of Magecraft."

"Geez… We already knew that Doc…"

"Really? Who's like that?"

"Us, take the hint."

"Basically what you're saying is, Euryale isn't good enough to be kidnapped for her fighting prowess?"

"..."

"Well, that's not a reason for us not to save her. Plus, she's a great singer. I like great singers. It is a very important role for sailors, right men?" Drake said.

"Aye! It heals our rotten heart!"

"There ya go... Don't worry, big guy. Nobody on this ship wants to abandon that girl."

"..."

"..."

"What's wrong, Mash?"

"Yeah, is something the matter?" Zi-O asked.

"...No. Captain Drake's personality is just very complicated. ...It's hard to explain, but she reminds me of you two. Facing difficulties. Helping those around her. It is an advantage, a merit, that humans possess. But why— Is Francis Drake a villain? As she is now, and back in history. She is such a good person, but her actions are that of an outlaw. I can't understand this contradiction well—"

"Ah, dammit. It had to happen in a time like this! Everybody tie yourself to the ship! There's a storm coming!"

As they continue to fight the enemy pirates one of the crewmembers asks, "What should we do, Boss?"

"Shut up, I'm thinking! Um... The distance between us and that ship is about this much... This storm has a small range... Perhaps... Depending on distance, it'll be a tailwind for them... ...The ship's armor is... Oh, that's right. Since we used THAT for repairs... All right! You guys! Good news and bad news, which do you want first?"

"Let's see. Bad news first..."

"All right. This Hektor guy who kidnapped Euryale probably won't be affected by this storm! If we sit tight, he'll probably pull so far away that
we'll never catch up!" Drake said.

"...Um. So what's the good news?"

"Rejoice, guys! We're gonna raise all sails to and cruise at top speed in this storm! Let's have another exciting ride through the seas!" Drake smiled.

This caused the others to be confused, "How is that good news!?"

"Shut up or you'll get the boot! Anyways, get moving! Mash, Asterios, and Lady Artemis, please help us too! ...Of course, Fujimaru and Tokiwa, too. Okay, let's go!"

"Master... L-Let's do our best!"

"Come on, keep going!"

"Boss! Our ship won't last much more!"

"Really? But it is pretty stable, isn't it?" Drake said.

"What? ...Now that you mention it, indeed..."

"Did you forget? We used a bunch of dragon scales when we repaired this ship. It'll take more than this to sink us! This is no sailboat! Got that? Now, charge forth!"

"Wow… She is so enthusiastic…"

"Boss, there's a ship up ahead!"

"Did we catch up!?"

"It's not them. That ship is bigger than ours!"

"Woah! Bigger?"

"It's similar to Blackbeard's ship!?"

"Yes, but– "

"But?" Drake inquired.

"It looks pretty beat up. That's all I can tell in this storm!" The Crewmember replied.

"Give me the telescope!" She shouted as she grabbed the telescope and looks at the ship.

"So what do you see, Drake?" Faiz asked.

"Mm-hmm. ...What is that a ghost ship?"

"A ghost ship?" Mash exclaimed in confusion.

"Are you serious?" Den-O asked.

"Wow, it's even more like an ocean adventure novel now! So much excitement, I want to turn this into a book!"

"Please just concentrate Doc…" Hana sighed.

"Hah, ghost ships are usually just vessels that were abandoned for things like mutiny and starvation. ...Hmm? Some light... is headed this way... Eek!?"

"Drake made a really strange sound just now!"

"Her voice was like a maiden's!"

"Master!?"

"Huh what?"

"What is it, Mash?"

"Nothing, I just was shocked by Drake's voice. What happened, Drake?"

"F-Forget about my scream, look to the bow! Enemy attack! Ghosts are attacking us!"

This caused the others especially Ghost and Specter to be surprised, "Man, this is getting really hard."

Meanwhile, at Hektor's ship, Okeanos

Year 1573

As we go into Hektor's ship, we saw that he is currently standing looking at the sky, "Now, according to my calculations, it's almost time." Meanwhile Euryale was now struggling with all the ties.

"...Why me? Does your Master have the same tastes as Blackbeard?"

"Oh no, my boss may be a worthless womanizer, but he's not brave enough to hit on a goddess like you. Let's just say your very existence is important. Even if you've fallen to the level of a Servant, Divine Spirits normally don't appear in this world. ...So, now that you've appeared,
it'd be a waste not to use you, right?"

"As a Divine Spirit, I'm low tier, you know?"

"They're probably not expecting any combat skills from a goddess like you. "Offer a god as a sacrifice." This is the only thing we expect from you."

"Oh? Offer to whom?"

"To the world. We can't tolerate being part of an endless spiral. Even if we take a little risk, we have to blow this world to pieces." This caused Euryale to be very uneasy.

"...Who do you serve, exactly?"

"Mm... That's a good question. Who do you think this old man is serving!?"

"...In any case, asserting principles of anarchy is sure to meet interference in the end. Honestly, whether or not they'll come is like fifty-fifty. ...Hmph, it must have been because Asterios was there." Euryale said with a smile.

Hektor look at the direction and saw the Golden Hind approaching, "What? That is "the Golden Hind!""

Meanwhile back at the Golden Hind, Okeanos

Year 1573

Meanwhile, we saw that the heroes are now approaching the ship. With Drake shouting, "Okay, we caught up. Can't waste any more time, let's ram into them! Are you ready, guys!?"

"Yup!"

"Yes!" Mash smiled.

"You got it, Drake…" Faiz replied.

"Good! Let's land a hard one on that guy!"

"Master, Tokiwa-san, we are ready to fight too."

"Hey, Asterios! Calm down, calm down! Relax, please!" Orion shouted as he trying to calm down Asterios.

"Euryale!"

Medusa tried to chained up Asterios while saying, "Stop it! I know you're worried about Nee-sama but now's not the time to charge in!" Artemis tried to grab her.

"Nope, no good. Can I let him go?"

"Letting him go now is like painting a target for that spear. Come, there there. Now, there there."

"Uhhh!"

"Fine! I got it! Wait 10 more seconds. 10, 1, 0!"

"You cut corners, Darling!"

"Thinking rationally, there was no way a plush toy could stop a Berserker..."

"You should've realized that sooner!"

"Asterios!? I-I will go with him!"

"Let's rescue Euryale then…" Decade said.

"And help Asterios!"

"Yes!"

As the heroes comes to the ship, Hektor is now muttering, "Geez, what a pain in the ass. Oh, brother–But this old man... Is really good at defense to the point even I hate it!"

As they continue the fight, Mash shouted, "These pirates are way more tenacious than before!"

"Give... Baaaaaaaaaaack!"

"Give back, Nee-sama!"

"Geez, that damned Minotaur and Gorgon! Fine, I'll give her back!"

"Aughh!"

"Eu..."

"Nee-sama…"

"Nothing like the predictability of a Berserker!"

"I won't let you–!"

"Demi-Servant!"

"Hero Hektor—who do you serve, and what are you after... I'll have you tell me!"

"Yeah! You said it, Mash!"

"Huh. Pretty interesting, little girl. This old man would rather not take a young life... But the world is cruel like that. Let me show you what that truly means!"

They then started to fight Hektor, with Mash proving to be powerful for the former, "Tch, she's surprisingly tough! That's why I can't stand heroes with shields!"

"Haaa!"

"–Well, this old man won through persistence. Dear me, I'm tired, so tired."

"Boss! A ship up ahead! I-It's a ship that I've never seen before!"

"Did you say a ship that you've never seen before?!"

"Man, what now!?" Geiz shouted.

"!"

"Yes, thanks for that! My current "superior" is on that ship."

"Did you just say your superior?"

"Oh... Uh!"

"Now, time for the counterattack. This old man's gonna be serious about it now, yeah?"
