Hey guys! RGQC back here with another chapter of ya all. First of all, I want your honest opinion, should I do a Christmas chapter or do you guys prefer no event chapters? Let me know your thoughts in the reviews! Your opinions matter a whole lot to me. Also btw, I got news for everyone, refer to the bottom of the chapter to see it! It's important!

But as always, reviews to address first.

Marseldagistani: Well, I'm glad that you're enjoying this as much as I am writing it! As for how Morgan would react to Mordred? I think of interest as to how Mordred came about, or more accurately, the extent of her plots in the Proper Human History. But one thing for sure, Baobhan Sith would be either ecstatic to have a sibling or absolutely furious at the fact that she has a challenger. Interesting idea right there.

Triscythe59: Salem isn't dead in the slightest, but her influence is greatly diminished with her castle destroyed. She still has a part to play in the story, but it would be tiny compared to Morgan's until several chapters down the line. Probably. Maybe...

SkyChaser17: Foreshadowing? Don't you mean Foushadowing? I'll throw myself out. Besides that, I wished too that I could pump these chapters faster as well. But life and my need to feed my other fic come in. The Arc's in my story served the Ozpin back when he was King of Vale. Not descendants, just want to clear that up. And yea, part of the reason I tossed my hat into the rings of fanfic because I felt that RT have lost their way in the show. At this point, there are so many faults that I just can't watch it.

Zekken182: Mordred meeting team RWBY would be interesting indeed, though Mordred would keep her/his distance from them, just so that she can buy more time before Ozpin notices her.

NoXIV: No promises.

Bartek5552: Thanks! And hopefully, I won't lose steam writing this story! But time will tell, yea?

DannyPhantom619: Memelin showing up? I'll think about it.

RookieNewbie: I was thinking of those basic black masks that you can buy at stores but I figured out that it would be too boring for my taste. Also happens that Apex just announced Ash out and I figured out, why not use her face as a mask?

Guppy72: FOUUUU!

Negi83: Oh shit. Am I wrong? The Fate timelines are as confusing as ever. If you can clarify it, it would be helpful indeed. If that's the case, I'll correct it.

Dragonlord001: No doubt.

Zet4: Yea, this Morgan is post-lostbelt 6 and thus aware of what had happened. As for Jeanne, it's just that Marrow asked if she is related to the Arc knights due to her clothing. Nothing much.

D. : Yea Morgan won't interfere with Remnant's business unless it's necessary… Or she earns her interest like it did with Dust. But no spoilers, I have big plans to make.

Jamieoeyes: Jeanne and Jaune meeting each other in the future huh? Should be interesting should it ever happen, yes? Also, no problem about choosing your ideas, after all, how is Semblance or Dust not magic after all? The way they act says that they must have some magical properties at least, that's for me.

Zo-Kel: I dunno why I'm taking my time to respond to this but I am. First of all, taking the relic is still riskier than the alternative due to the fact that Mordred could lose it. Then there's the fact that the Relic would naturally attract Grimm to it. Now what would happen should Mordred take it to one of the Kingdoms? Yes, Grimm would attack it. And would no doubt cause Ozpin to get all shifty.

Secondly, the only way to get the relics is through the Spring maiden. It's a gamble, yes but Mordred believes that leaving it there is much safer since Servants won't know about the idea of Maidens. With Raven in the care of Ozpin, the Relic of Knowledge is safe.

Archangel Xireon Chaos God: Yes, I need someone to draw Ruby with Fou together! Yes!

Ash and memory: If she did that initially, she would leave herself exposed to OC's fast attacks, what do you think would happen if you tried to escape when your opponents could appear in your face instantly. Yes, EMIYA can indeed kill Salem in a way, but why does it matter if he decerns Mordred's sword? Sooner than later, both of them are going to see each other since now Mordred is going to head for Vale, which is where EMIYA is currently at. Fair enough I suppose, they missed the chance to know what he was like, all we know is that he's a coward and a traitor. Ironic coming from Mordred huh? Especially the traitor part.

Anyways, with that out of the way, let's not waste any more time.

I do not own RWBY or any of the Fate series. All of them belong to their respective owners as such.

Chapter 11

More memories and talks.

Two days have passed and it was the day for me to leave Mistral and head to Vale, but before I do that, it was morning that I received a message from both Sun and Neptune as both of them wish to see me one last time before I make my leave. Which was rather convenient as my flight was in the afternoon and thus, I can spend one last time with them before I leave. Though I would no doubt see them again in Vale much later.

Besides that, it was also that time that I got another sleep cycle from Mordred to say the least, it was interesting. I've watched as Mordred, now looking similar to how she always did, now given the armour that she now wears constantly by Morgan went one to join the Knights of the Round Table through her superb swordsmanship abilities and straightforward mental chivalry.

I watched as she served Arthur and met the other Knights of the Round Table. The most prominent ones in my opinion were Gaheris and Gareth. Since all three of them have the same mother but different father, they could be considered step-siblings. And then there's Lancelot.

For some reason, I could only feel hatred and disgust for the Knight of the Lake. Was it because I knew that the collapse of Camelot started because of him in a way? Or is it because he's a womaniser? Or is it his relationship with Guinevere that caused cracks to form as well as the deaths of Gareth and Gaheris at his hands? Or was it because of my close relationship with my own family that caused me to hate Lancelot for killing Mordred's step-siblings since her and my memories were merging?

Honestly, I don't really know to be honest but I can't let those memories hold me back. No matter how long I'm stuck in Remnant, I have a duty to follow and a job to do. But enough of looking back, but as of yet I was busy having breakfast with Sun and Neptune who brought their teammates out since it's the weekends. To say the least it was interesting…

At the time, we were having breakfast at a café store not too far away from the airport since I also took the time to drop off my bike early before meeting up with them. Also, Fou was hiding inside my bag since at this point, I've checked out of the hotel and thus, I can't really leave him exposed to everyone.

Much to his irritation judging by how much the bag was moving. Thankfully, nobody noticed it since it was subtle.

Anyways, Scarlet proved to be quite the bossy guy since he had to remind Sun to finish his food since I was telling them stories of my travels to find out what happened to the missing convoy, I had done a day or two ago. He also proved to be quite fussy since out of everyone having coffee or a drink, he's the only one who ordered a rather expensive latte much to his team's exasperation.

Then we have Sage who seemed to be the quiet guy of the group. Pretty ironic since back on Earth, I was very like him in a way. Mostly keeping to myself and talking only when necessary. How much has that changed when I got my ass tossed to Remnant and forced to adapt my ways. Oh, how I missed those quiet days…

"Saber, are you alright? You've gotten quiet all of a sudden." Neptune's voice of concern interrupted my thoughts as the entire team of SSSN were staring at me. That unfortunately, caused my face to blush in embarrassment.

"Sorry! Sorry. I was just thinking of something." I ended up apologising for it while unfortunately giving an uncomfortable smile to which everyone noticed.

"Are you sure about that Saber? Your face is saying the opposite." Scarlet pointed out.

"Besides, if something is bothering you, you can tell us, we're here to help." Sun then assured me. Though for some reason, that caused me to give him a stunned look at him while my face began to blush up much to my embarrassment. I'm not as helpless as I look over here ok! Just because I look smaller and much younger than you doesn't mean that I can't kick your ass Sun!

"I think you might had broken her Sun." Neptune pointed out as I remained frozen still as my stunned face continued to redden in response.

"Good job Sun. Ya did it. You somehow managed to break a girl by talking." Scarlet snarked as he tried to stop a chuckle from exiting his mouth as Sage remained quiet.

"Scar! You know that's not what happened!" Sun argued back.

"Hah?..." Those were the words that exited out of my mouth before I managed to snap myself as I looked away in embarrassment.

"I… I… I'm good. Is just that I am so used to working alone that the idea of someone else wanting to help me is completely new to me." Not wrong to say, I never relied on anyone else back on Earth. Nor did Mordred whose memories are starting to blend into mine. I guess you could say that I never trusted anyone since I tend to get the shitty end of the deal.

But nevertheless, my reaction to Sun was completely unexpected. Was it Mordred acting in? And why did I freeze like a deer towards the headlights when he offered his help?

"I think she's lying." Neptune then whispered to his partner who could only nod in agreement. They're not wrong, I do have some internal issues but I can't share with them. For their and my sake.

"Yea… But let's not push it, it's clear that she's not comfortable talking about it." Yea, thanks Sun for not pushing it. I'd hate to lie as to why I was quiet earlier.

I then coughed into my hand to garner every attention before I spoke. "Anyways, my flight is in the afternoon and we still have hours before I have to leave. So, got any ideas on how to spend it?" I then asked to change the topic.

There was a period of silence as everyone thought of ideas as to how to spend the remaining time together while occasionally taking a sip of their drink. It was then that Sun spoke up.

"You know Saber… There's a field not far from here. I was wondering if you could have a spar with one of us. Why? well... we know that you're a traveller so that means that you must be well skilled in fighting and all that stuff. And I have full intention of making team SSSN win the Vytal Festival. Your advice before you leave would be appreciated." Sun explained as Sage could be seen giving his leader the raised eyebrow, Scarlet looked interested in such an idea while Neptune looked like he's about to question his partner's idea.

I for once, just folded my arms, I won't deny it, I'm actually quite enthusiastic for a chance for a fight and to test their skills. After all, the show never delves into their fighting and teamwork except for like one fight in the festival. And the other stuff I might have forgotten. Though from what I can tell…

It could be better since Sun's leadership skills are quite lacking and they spend quite some time arguing with each other that one time. It was then that Sun's partner then protested halfway only to be interrupted by me.

"Sun, are you seri-"

"I'll do it." I gave a confident smirk in response before I stood up with my cup of coffee and drank it all on one go. "You better be ready Sun Wukong," I grinned as I addressed Sun by his full name. "I won't go easy on ya if you intend to win the Vytal Festival." With that I walked off and away from the table to go and pay for everyone.

"Though despite being a distance away from team SSSN, I could still hear them bantering with each other. Mostly about Sun getting me involved with their training and stuff while he justified it by pointing out that my experience could help them improve, that seems to nail the case in the head as all of them relented and agreed that he has a point. This also should help them and help me understand how they tick in battle. Though I shouldn't underestimate them.

Some time had passed and everyone had gathered at the field in their combat uniform with their weapons, I did the same as well while leaving my bag with Fou inside in the corner. Though I have to tell Fou to stay hidden in the bag but also to keep an eye out in case anyone tries to take the bag.

Fou was understandably displeased with having to say in the bag but he gave me a nod and chirped back. Unfortunately for me, I forgot that Faunuses have a much more sensitive hearing and Sun heard Fou's chirping.

"Fou."

"What was that?" Sun then asked as he looked around in confusion while I froze in panic. Fou did the same before he quickly scurried back into the bag to hide.

"What was what Sun?" Neptune then asked as I faced the bag away from everyone and walked towards them.

"I heard a noise that came from Saber's side." Sun pointed out as I denied in a confused and normal tone.

"Something came from my area? Never heard of that noise you speak of." I tilted my head.

"Must be some critter that made that." Scarlet seemed to be disinterested in it as Sun argued back.

"I'm not kidding you guys! I swear I heard something going 'Fou!' at Saber's side earlier."

"Hey guys! I don't have all day to wait for you guys to talk." I pointed out as team SSSN seem to realise that they're getting distracted.

"Anyways I believe that this is a necessary thing to mention about me but my aura works differently compared to how a normal aura works." I unfortunately had to lie to them again. After all, I don't even have an aura to begin with and I need to stave off their concern if they manage to get me bleeding.

"In what way?" Neptune then asked as I 'explained'.

"Well, you see, compared to a normal aura which acts like a personal shield to you, mine lacks that personal shield part. But in return, I have accelerated healing as a trade-off. If you're curious about it, it still hurts like hell if I get a slash wound or gunshot." I noticed that they all cringed when I mentioned that I still get wounds despite the fact they heal incredibly fast. I might have to spend some magical energy to accelerate my healing process to make it look convincing.

"Wouldn't that make you vulnerable to headshot or any lethal damage?" Sage then finally spoke out, his concern is genuine though, without aura, instant kill attacks like decapitation strikes or headshots would be the end of me. Though due to me being a Servant, I would see that coming and would have time to react to it. Not like they know about it.

"Your concern is noted Sage, but you may not be worried about me. I'm aware of my obvious weakness but I can assure you that I take extra care to avoid getting hit in the head or any vital spots. Now then, you will all be fighting against me." I gave a grin as team SSSN gave me a shocked look.

"What? Are you sure about this Saber? You're outnumbered 1 to 4." Neptune pointed out as my grin grew wider.

"What's the matter? Afraid that you'll beat me this easily?" My grin then faded away and was replaced with a serious look. "Don't be! Now! Draw your weapons! We fight until either side is defeated or concedes the fight! And no buts!" I say back as I dashed back several meters and drew my weapons.

Team SSSN, immediately got the message from me as they drew their weapons. And charged towards me as I loaded in some ice dust rounds and began firing at their feet. All of my shots missed them but they still hit the ground and began to coat it in ice. Without any hesitation, Neptune began firing lightning bolts upon me as I dodged to the side before parrying Scarlet's cutlass with my own sword.

"Here's the thing about fights, don't expect to play nice in fights! Use every advantage you have!" I smiled as I proceeded to shove Scarlet back before firing a shot at him which he managed to block with his cutlass. As I then dodged several more lightning bolts coming from Neptune as I heard Sun yelling.

"Sage! Now!"

Attack from behind.

The voice whispered to me as without a thought, I did a backflip over Sage who looked surprised as well as Sun as I shot Sage in the legs while mid-air. The ice round worked as it pinned Sage to the ground as ice could be seen all over his feet as he struggled to get out. I could then hear Sun ordering his team as I just had a grin on my face. I couldn't go all out on them or else they'll just get absolutely stomped without learning everything.

I then heard the sound of a lever action gun cocking as Sun firing his shotgun shots at me as I dodged or parried them, however due to it being a shotgun pellets that came in a spread of shots, one of the fired pellets nicked me in the neck as I let out a grunt of pain as I rest my hand holding my gun over my wound.

"Shit! Are you ok?" Sun called out as his expression turned to one of worry.

"Sun! Just fight! Don't worry about my health and just pretend that I'm an enemy trying to kill you or something!" I called out as I fired a shot at him as he rolled out of the way.

"Even though I'm not." I thought to myself.

I then dashed in as I noticed Sun changing his weapon to staff and swung at me only for it to miss as I ducked before kicking him on the chest. Sun was launched by my kick as I heard Neptune calling out his partner as he too joined into the fray as his gun turned into Trident as he charged in. Though I got another whisper that warned me.

Grappling hook on your left.

My eyes widened as I turned to see Scarlet firing his grapple hook from his pistol at me. Without a second, I used my hand to block the hook as it wrapped around my arm instead of my body, at least that's what I think that was his intention. I could then see Neptune yelling out as he thrust his weapon which was engulfed in electricity towards my exposed body.

My eyes could only widen before I did something that I doubt they expected. I then moved towards Scarlet which caused him to fall down due to him pulling my arm while at the same time dodging Neptune's attack before I did a reverse roundabout kick to his back. As soon as my kick landed on Neptune's back, I fired a shot at Scarlet who was on the ground only for Sun to step in and intercept my shots.

I could only grin. This is actually getting exciting and it's firing me up! "Excellent! Show me more!" I yelled out as I managed to untangle my arm from Scarlet's grappling hook as I looked around, only to realise that Sage was not in my vision, nor was he pinned to the ground by ice. I didn't have much time to react as I could hear whispering again.

Above you.

Without hesitation, I raised my sword into the air just in time to absorb Sage's attack from above with his sword, since I had no time to avoid him without using my mana burst. And much to my surprise, his attack caused the ground to cave in as well as forcing me onto one of my knees. Much to my initial surprise.

But less than a second, my surprise faded into an ambitious idea, I then proceeded to drop my gun before grabbing Sage by the arm and yeeting him, one handed by the way, directly at Sun who wasn't expecting me to throw his teammate at his face. What resulted was Sage slamming directly into Sun which allowed me to pick up my gun before hosting it onto my belt.

But enough of playing defensive, now it's show time. With that, I dash straight for Neptune who at this point was ready for my attack as I sent a slash down upon him, though Neptune then took a side dodge before sending a slash with his trident turned Guandao at me. Unfortunately for him, I expected it as I parried his attack before counterattacking him with a suck punch to the face. His aura then flared up in response to my counterattack.

Without giving Neptune some respite, I then grabbed his arm before repositioning him so that his teammates were behind him, what followed was a rather hard kick to his chest that sent him sliding on the ice, face first towards his teammates due to the ice rounds I've used earlier.

What follows is Neptune slamming into Sage and Sun who at this point had only just got back on their feet, they would probably be out for a while so time to knock out Scarlet while I can. And so, I dashed at Scarlet who fired a shot directly at me, though I had enough time to block it before sending several of my own shots at him.

They all missed. I hate it.

Nevertheless, I managed to lock Scarlet in a clash, as my eyes quickly glanced at the rest of the team, I noticed that Sun was about to fire, that gave me a good idea and it wasn't long till I forced Scarlet out of a clash before grabbing him by the shoulder and using him as a body shield just as Sun opened fired on me.

Let's just say it wasn't Scarlet's day.

His aura instantly broke as we all watched him fall to the ground before groaning. "Wanna stop?" I then asked.

"Yes… that would be nice. You messed us up hard." Neptune was the first to speak as he rubbed his cheek, Sage who looked pretty banged up just nodded in agreement.

Sun could only sigh out with defeat. "Yea, also that was dirty!" Sun then gave an accusatory finger directly at me as he walked towards me as both Neptune and Sage followed him.

"I have to agree it was. But it serves a purpose you see. Out there you would eventually face someone who would gladly use everything they have to their advantage. Like say, using the environment for example." I explained as I pointed at part of the field covered in ice. I also took the time to pick up Scarlet who was still on the ground and put him back on his feet.

"Hugh. Now I have dust and dirt all over me." Scarlet grumbled softly.

"Another thing is communication which you guys could improve upon or other stuff like exploiting weaknesses or obvious things you all noticed I do. For example, you all noticed that I like to dodge and avoid getting hit for obvious reasons." I then rubbed my wound caused by Sun's gun. As my hand was covering my wound, I then channelled my magical energies to enhance the wound's recovery rate. And as soon as I removed my hand, the wound was gone much to their surprise.

"Try to get me into an area where I cannot evade much, for example remember the ice?" I asked as I got nods back. "You could lure me into it as a way to restrict my movement or keep me guessing where you're going to attack. Since any wrong decision I made would result in me being vulnerable to your attacks." I stopped for a while to catch my breath.

"Well then, I suppose this is enough for today huh?" I gave a cheek grin as I pulled out my scroll to look at the time. I should get going now.

"Yea. All serious though, I think if you join the festival, you'll just beat everyone solo." Neptune pointed out as everyone nodded in agreement and rightfully so.

"Yea… that probably would happen." I shrugged.

"Not like I'm going to join it; it would be cheating to the max at this point."

"Anyways I should get going." I said as I walked off the field and picked up my bag. "But before that," I mumbled out and walked towards Sun and his team, I then gave a light punch to his shoulder as he winched. "You're more capable than you think Sun, you just gotta put your heart in it. Learn your team's strengths and weaknesses and exploit the weaknesses of others if you wish to win the tournament. Who knows, your team might win the festival if you trained hard enough." I then gave a genuine smile at the guys before I suddenly leapt quite a distance away and landed on one of the nearby rooftops as all of team SSSN eyes were on me.

"Till then! I'll see all of you at Vale and the festival! Goodluck!" I yelled out with a smile and gave them a rather exaggerated farewell sauté before I began to run off towards the airport, leaving team SSSN behind.

"Yea. See ya soon." Neptune muttered out.

…

"She hits like a brute. Despite her small size. And then there's her strength." Sage then finally spoke after a short period of silence.

"And I have a feeling that she's going easy on us for some reason…" Neptune hummed it out as he compacts his weapon before keeping it.

"Now what? I prefer we go back; I prefer not staying dirty for any longer." Scarlet then asked as all of them looked at Sun who was silent.

"Well, dunno about you but, but I agree with Scarlet here. Let's go and enjoy a bath, then we can figure out what to do."

And with that team SSSN returned back to Haven to relax after the beating they got from Saber as well as to make 'adjustments' to their day.

"Well, that was fun." I thought to myself as my speed then slowed to a crawl, it was then that Fou popped right out the bag and rested on my shoulder much to my initial surprise.

"Sorry about that buddy. But your secrecy is quite important." I could only apologise to Fou as I rubbed his chin as I sat down on the slanted roof tiles for a while.

"Fou…"

Fou doesn't seem happy about it, but I think he understands why I did it. If only Fou could be on my shoulders instead of being left in the bag. Feels like I'm committing animal abuse at this point by asking him to hide in the bag. Perhaps in the future if I feel much more comfortable, I might let Fou out. Or I have no choice.

I then could only sigh as I began to walk towards the airport with Fou on my shoulder until we got closer, then I'd ask him to hide once again.

Back to Ozpin's office in Beacon...

While all that was going on, the two headmasters were in a discussion as well as compiling all the details they'd shared with each other. Mostly related to Leon's betrayal as well as the introduction of Ruler to Ozpin.

"So… There's a possibility that Ruler could be heading to Mistral to see the one that secured the Relic of Knowledge?" Ironwood then asked.

"It could be. But I prefer we don't act hastily, there are many variables we don't know yet." Ozpin confirmed.

"If what you say is correct, that means that whoever attacked Raven and Qrow at Haven has the Relic already. Are you not concerned about the Relic leaving their vault? We have to find whoever they are, and fast!" Ironwood then rightfully pointed it out.

Ozpin could only remain silent as his eyes narrowed down. Berserker, Assassin, Ruler… Those sounded similar to chess pieces instead of actual names. And it was reinforced when Ironwood said that Ruler preferred to call herself that, but he needs more information to confirm that theory. Yet Ironwood confirmed that Ruler says that they belong to an isolated place, though she refrains from revealing its location for the place's sake.

Then there's Berserker… From what Ironwood had managed to gather from his Ace Ops. Berserker has a massive grudge against Ruler, while calling her a murderer for some reason. Ruler explained to Ironwood that Berserker's anger at her is a personal one and refuses to elaborate more. Even more curious was that Ironwood told him that Berserker has lion ears and twin tails. That earned a curious look from Ozpin.

After all, Faunuses are known to have one animalistic trait, not two or more. The fact that Berserker has both lion ears and two tails was strange indeed. Then even though Ruler and Berserker know each other, from what Ironwood had told him, their outfits are radically different. And then there's Assassin, whose clothing looked a lot like those in Mistral.

"Ozpin? Are you there?" Ozpin then heard Ironwood calling him with a genuine look of concern on his face.

"I'm fine, friend. I'm just processing everything. Related to Leon." Ozpin then changed the topic, at first, Ironwood looked like he wanted to object but he soon relented.

"I know, we should still look for him and have him explain himself why he betrayed us."

"That is correct, but I doubt any of us know where he went off. Or whether he's still alive." Ozpin confirmed.

"Then what of Raven? Is she still in a coma?" Ironwood then asked.

"Yes, she's unfortunately still in a coma. I've ordered Glynda to watch over her and report when she awakens. Only she knows the face of the perpetrator, according to Qrow." Ozpin explained as he took a sip of hot cocoa.

"To think she was the Spring maiden all along." Ironwood then pinches his nose. One of Ozpin's followers who left a time ago was the one who possesses the Maiden's powers, the question is then how?

How did she get it? Ironwood could only wonder to himself.

"We unfortunately do not know for now. Only that she does have it." Ozpin let out a sigh as he continued reading the reports as Ironwood interjects.

"So what? We wait until she wakes up? We won't know when she will wake up, nor for how long. All we know is that she could be in a coma. Permanently. We have to act in a way, Ozpin. You know this as well as I."

"I know." Ozpin frowns before he speaks again. "But I believe that we should keep an eye on this situation, especially Ruler, I believe that she would lead us to our target."

"You're recommending that we plant a bug on her?" Ironwood insidiously asked.

"Unless you have a better idea, I'm all ears." Ozpin had to admit about this idea, this is way too strange for his liking and he has no plans to deal with it as he'd never encounter anything like it.

Ironwood could only let out a tired sigh before he noticed Ozpin's face looked bothered by something. "Ozpin, is there something you're not telling me?" Ironwood then asked.

…

"Yes. There is." Ozpin confessed as he continued. "Yesterday, I sensed a massive magical surge somewhere on Remnant before it dissipated. I do not know where or why it came from, but it definitely did not come from Salem. The magic is… different, yet similar."

"What? How is that possible? Don't you know all magic users?" Ironwood anxiously asked.

"I do not know my friend, I do know all who had magic at the start, but whoever did that, I fear the possibility that Remnant would be dealing with something much more dangerous than we both thought..."

Ironwood was silent for a full minute before he came to a decision. "Then I'll prepare Atlas when the time comes. You should do the same with your students Ozpin, till we meet again, take care friend." And with that, Ironwood's hologram disconnects as Ozpin stood from his seat and walked towards the windows.

He could only stare into the distance, his mind theorising and dreading the moment. Ozpin, even if he couldn't see or know what was coming, his gut feeling tells him all that he needs to know. Conflict will eventually come to Remnant against something it's not prepared for.

There is much to be done. If Remnant is to brave this unknown storm of chaos brewing in the future.

In Vale…

Things were going rather smoothly for Emiya in Vale, the business is blooming as more customers showed up during the morning and afternoon. Though to say, he hasn't been standing idling while twiddling his thumbs. Once the café closes in the evening and night comes, Emiya has been doing what Archers are good at. Scout for potential hostiles and information gathering to say the least. He had to admit to himself, who sent him here?

Is it the counter-force that sent him here or something else? Even more prominent, he sensed a magical surge before it dissipated a while back. It clearly hints that there are other potential servants out there since it was obvious that this world possesses no magic. At first.

Upon closer inspection, the resource this world used was called Dust, despite its questionable name of choice, has a tinge of magic in them. It does prove how those crystals worked and the possibility of this world used to have magic but it deteriorated till the point that magic became a myth from what he could gather in his spare time.

It was then the same four girls who he remembered a while ago, came into the café alongside another group of which consisted of 2 girls and two guys. As they enter the cafe, the red one, which he learned that her name is Ruby, called out to him.

"Hello again!" She called out as Emiya only nodded back. "Can we have a table for eight people?" She then asked as the one with orange hair suddenly appeared in front of him.

"Do you have pancakes on the menu? Are they any good?" She asked rather enthusiastically that it caught him off guard.

"It was then that the boy with pink in his hair stepped forward to apologise for his partner.

"I'm sorry about that, Nora loves pancakes. And when she learned that this café sells pancakes, she insisted on following our sister team." Ren then turned his gaze on his sister team as Emiya just nodded as he thought to himself.

"What a strange girl…"

"There's no harm done here. Just allow me to assemble the table for all of you." Emiya said as he began shifting the tables and chairs for the students to sit before bringing in the menu for. As he then left the students to choose what they wished to eat, he now wonders more about the students.

Ruby and her team the other day told him that they were from Beacon Academy. Even more so that her half sister, Yang tried to flirt with him only for it to fall flat as Emiya instantly rejected her bluntly. Much to Yang's dismay and the entertainment of the rest of her team. Nevertheless, Emiya watched as team RWBY and JNPR chose what they wished to have from the menu. As he turned his eyes away from the group, for a split second, he sensed someone or something staring right at him through the crowds outside the café.

"Who was that?" Emiya could only wonder as he returned to his duties, though more guarded and alert than before. Knowing that whoever was watching him would eventually be back.

"YEEAAAA! THEYHAVECHOCOLATEPANCAKES! RENNY, I WANT ONE!" Nora suddenly yelled out. Emiya could only sigh as he just knows that she specifically is going to be a hassle for today.

POV ?

I remembered the day Master summoned all four of us to help her secure her realm. When we all chose to answer her call to deal with a new world connected to hers. We were tasked to observe and gather as much information from this world. I remember seeing the joys and wonders of such a world. And the horror it brings.

Black beast… No Things seem to cover almost everywhere I went yet despite all that. Humanity and Faunuses, humans with animal traits as they call themselves, fought all the same despite their situation. I remember that day when the master came to me as to my orders as at the time, she wanted me to head to one of the major settlements to the west.

And I hated it. The major settlement was located in a vast and harsh desert, and it's so hot with my cloak that was given to me by my master. Yet eventually, I found myself in the Kingdom of Vacuo. It was interesting to say the least. They seemed to not care much about me until I proved myself, despite the fact that they assumed that I was fated to die due to my perceived blindness. They were proven wrong in combat.

They interestingly have a philosophy that anyone who is able to survive the harsh conditions of Vacuo is welcome to live among them. A survival of the fittest mentality if I do say so myself. I've also spent some time at the libraries since every single information would benefit my master.

My time there was relatively short as there was not much worth taking note of. Except for those crystals they call dust and the idea of aura as a whole. Nevertheless, my time exploring the world of Remnant as it was called eventually brought me to the town of Kuchinashi in the Kingdom of Mistral.

It was a place filled with thieves, assassins and others. It was also at that time that Assassin came to meet me to give me a report as well as a new assignment. She in fact appeared before me in the middle of the night. She came with orders from master for me to follow Saber, a servant identified by Assassin in the kingdom of Mistral not too far away and follow her.

And the deed was done. I tracked her down with the help of Assassin before she disappeared, most likely to fulfil her own duties. But as I watched her queued up at the airfields, there was something off about here. It was just a gut feeling but, Saber has a plan in mind, but whatever it was, I do not know.

All that was needed to know was that Saber is heading straight for the Kingdom of Vale and if I'm not mistaken, another servant following master is already there...

While I watched her board a rather large airship that looked like a boat for some reason, I also managed to catch a glimpse of her face as she entered it. Yet, it looks familiar, as if I saw it before...

But who? I could only wonder as Saber vanished into the airship.

Mordred POV

"Who was that? Was someone watching me again?" I could only wonder to myself as I entered the Airship that looked like a floating wooden boat. Or is it called a sail ship? Probably the latter.

Anyways, as I was about to enter the ship, I got the same feeling I'd gotten a day or two back before I found out that Fou was the one watching me. At first, I thought it was Danzou that was watching me, but as I thought through it in my cabin inside the ship, it didn't make any sense.

Danzou has present concealment. So, I shouldn't be able to sense her. This means that another servant was nearby…

Right?

Or is it my paranoia hitting me in the face? I could only wonder as Fou sat on my lap as I pet him. A week or so will pass until I reach Vale. Till then, I should come up with some plans on how to deal with that flaming bitch of a Cinder. Getting Torchwick would be my best option as Cinder threatened Torchwick to work for her…

What if I were to offer a proposition to him, help me get to Cinder, in return, he goes free. Yet I could only get slightly angry at it at my plan, Torchwick is a criminal. I shouldn't be negotiating with him but he's my only option if I want to get the drop on Cinder and eliminate her without unnecessary bloodshed. Or is it Mordred's distaste acting up? Nevertheless, I'm only acting pragmatic to get my objectives done and here's Mordred's influence throwing a hissy fit about it.

"Ugh. Whatever." I mumbled as there was an announcement."

"Ladies and gentlemen. The ship is about to leave the port, please remain in your cabins until further notice. We'll inform you when you may leave the cabin." A feminine tone could be heard before it cut out as the sail ship started to take off.

I could only glance outside the windows as it flew into the skies and through the clouds. Mistral could be seen in all its glory. Funny. I already kinda missed this place.

"Fou?" Fou looked up at me as I scratched Fou behind the ears. "There's nothing to worry about that Fou. Just thinking about some stuff." I assured him as Fou got off me before jumping onto my head and looked out the window as he began to chirp. I didn't move in the slightest as Fou sat on my head nor did I care as apparently, he likes to do that sometimes. He didn't do that in the anime though...

I could only let out a chuckle. "Off to an adventure to Vale huh Fou?" I asked

"Kyuuu!" Fou chirped in response as I smiled.

And we are done with this chapter, despite the fact that we didn't hit my objectives for Followers and Favourites in the previous chapter, it doesn't matter. Anyways, whatcha think of this chapter huh? Is it good enough for you guys or do I need to flail myself for doing a poor job? (Note. I won't actually do that, ok?)

Ok. First thing I wish to talk about is related to Mordred's interaction with Team SSSN. Did I do Scarlet and Sage justice in this chapter? Cos, I need to practice on making them accurate in the story itself and I'm hopeful that I did them well. Passable, yes?

Next thing is the conversation between Ozpin and Ironwood and them sharing information. So yes, now Ozpin is aware of Jeanne, Atalanta as well as Danzou while Ironwood now learns of Leon's betrayal as well as Raven in a coma and is the Spring maiden. Is their talk good enough? Oh yea, and Ozpin is aware of Morgan's NP because it makes sense yea that he can feel the magic. (That sounds wrong for some reason.)

And then we got sneak peaks as to what Emiya has been doing for a while as well as Nora wanting chocolate pancakes. (Seriously, choco pancakes are good stuff.) Oh, and Yang getting her flirting rejected on the spot by Emiya. (Note. I have no intention of making Emiya a ladies' man as he was in Grand order.)

Also, a new servant under Morgan makes an appearance! Ok ok. Some of you may be wondering how many servants are going to be in this story. There will be four on each side. As you know, we have Emiya, Jeanne, Mordred and one more unknown servant. Morgan has Atalanta Alter, Katou Danzou, a Rider servant as well as one more.

Seems a bit out of balance at first glance and it is. But it's going just as planned.

Ok this is important because I won't be posting any more chapters for this year. Why? Because I've been working on this and my other story non-stop and whenever I could without a break of sorts (Even if I had one, it's like a day's break). So, no Christmas special for any of them. Sorry about that. But I promise. As soon as the new year starts, I will be back in production and that's a promise! I just need some time to relax for a month.

Is it alright with you guys? I will also post a similar one in my other story as an alert to my other readers. Besides that, feel free to tell me in the reviews! And if you enjoy my content and wish to see more of it, Follow and Favourite me to keep in touch with this story!

And with that, I'll see your wonderful people next year with another chapter!

RGQC out!

Oh, just in case I somehow did not stick to my promise somehow, Merry Christmas! and Happy New Year!
