Chapter 77 the true meaning of the grail

I don't own Bleach or any of the powers and gear used in this story.

After the attack Leonidas let Rin stay at his house for her own safety, Rin trusted him since they are family and she can be with Sakura more, Rin is a good girl he just doesn't want anything bad happen by the likes of Tokiumi.

Kariya told them the church had a meeting about Team Light and how they have servants, Leonidas told him it was because of the extra reserves the grail had for both having a winner so it allowed his team to summon they're own servants, Kariya believed them since it made sense considering what happened in the past.

Leonidas was now walking through the city with Roka but she was wearing a white dress and hat like a noble lady while hidding her mask.

They walked together and Roka said:"Are you sure about these clothes?"

"Of course, it looks nice on you."he said making her smile.

They then saw a woman go in front of them and it was Aoi who is Rin and Sakura's mother, he narrows his eyes at her and Aoi's widen.

"Your, your one of the masters."she said.

"Yes and I know who you are Aoi Tohsaka."he said.

"What have you done to my family?!"she demanded.

"What are you talking about?"he said.

"I know you did something to Sakura and now Rin is gone!"she said.

"You don't have a right to talk about Sakura!"he said making her flinch."You think that you have any right at all, Sakura was suffering at the hands of that monster."

Aoi was scared and said:"W-what did he do to her?"

"He sent her to a pit full of worms."he said shocking her."It was a miracle I could save her in time, she had damage but I was able to heal her."

"But I didn't know."Aoi said.

"Well you should have thought twice.m giving her away."Leonidas said.

"But Tokiumi said it was the right thing to do, Sakura would have to fight against Rin for the title of heir."Aoi tried to justify.

"Oh really, then what's your opinion?"he asked.

"What?"she said.

"You've been saying how it was Tokiumi who gave the idea but never said what you thought about."he said.

"I support my husband-"she got cut off.

"Don't play me as a fool!"Leonidas said scaring her."How can you be so dense, you sent a small child because it was your husband's will are you a slave or are you his wife."

She then begins to crie and he grunts.

"Sakura was very sad."Roka said.

"Yes, it was thanks to me that she's safe."he said.

"No, your evil you turned Tokiumi's sister into a puppet."Aoi said.

"Oh my mother."he said shocking her again.

"Your mother, than that means."She said.

"Yes I'm Sakura and Rin's cousin, my mother gave me permission to use her body in case I needed to experiment on something important, also by the rules of the magus if a child is abandoned by they're parents then a family member is allowed to take them in, so I'm Sakura's legal guardian."he smirks.

"But I want to see my baby!"Aoi cries making Leonidas roll his eyes.

"Well she seems happy with me, if you want to see her again you need to open your eyes."He said and he leaves her there with Roka following him.

With Victor

He was with Mordred as they walk around the city.

"So what's your big plan after all of this is over?"she asked.

"Me, well just going back home and see my adopted children."he said.

"Wait you have kids?"she got surprised.

"Oh yeah, Kelly and Mariko, I found them and decided to take care of them, Kelly is special for the fact that her skin is porcelain."he said surprising her.

"How is that possible?"she asked.

"Long story."he said."I'm just a little worried being a father since I never thought of becoming one now."

Mordred stares at him and smiles."You would be a better father than my actual one."

"Hey thanks."he smiles."So wanna go out to eat?"

"Are you asking me out?"Mordred got surprised.

"Kinda."he said.

Nel then came and hugged him."But I want a date too."

"Hey!"Mordred said and she starts to pull Victor away from her.

With Draco

He was with his girls at the house and Artoria was looking at him, he is a brave and caring man, he told how the most important thing thing in his life outside of of his girls are his daughters, he loved them very much and that made her respect him even more.

Unlike the past Mordred told her her true past was different.

They heard a knock on the door and Draco goes to check it."Who could it be?"He opens it and a small figure jumps to his arms and he saw it was Nezuko.

"Nezuko!"everyone that knows her got shocked.

Nezuko then hugs him while smiling.

"Why does she do that?"Apacci said.

"She will always go to where Draco is."Mila Rose said.

Artoria looks at her and said:"Oh my, she's adorable."

Nezuko looks at Artoria and reaches out to her and Artoria holds her.

Harribel got jealous since now Nezuko wanted to be close to her.

"Despite what Mordred said, you very different."Draco said.

"Thats because unlike the other one I truly cared for Mordred."Artoria said.

Flashback

Artoria stormed Morgana's lair and stabs her through the chest finishing her off, her knights were outside waiting for her.

She walks toward the exit until she heard a cry, she then runs toward the source and found a crudely made crib and she walks towards it to see a small baby girl with blonde hair, she picks her up and the baby opens her eyes to reveal they were the same as hers.

Artoria was shocked since this was her baby, the baby stares at her before she laughs putting her arms foward, Artoria smiled and hugs her.

"I'll name you Mordred."she said and takes the baby with her.

After that she raised Mordred as her child, she watches as she grows up and even trains her to be a knight, some of the court had problems but she didn't care she was king so she can make the rules, all she wanted was to see her daughter grow happy.

Flashback ends

That moment was one of her happiest moments, so why did Mordred get killed by that other version of her, did she really believe that she couldn't be a heir.

"Well Nezuko my name is Artoria."she said and Nezuko nodded.

She then spent time with her with the others wanting to play with Nezuko too, Rin and Sakura met her and were surprised to see she was a demon but was still very nice.

Later at night

The group was wondering around the city before they stopped to see Caster in the middle of the water, they stare at him and he was talking to saber before he raises his book up.

"Now for my final magic."he then summons more of his monsters before they merged with him making a giant beast.

"Uh oh."Kazuo said and they stare at it.

"We need to stop it."Draco said.

Then all the servants appeared and started attacking it, Rider flies around it on his chariot while slashing at the beast, Berserker stole a jet and used its powers on it to control the plane, Archer was in a flying vehicle shooting some of his weapons at the beast. Lancer and Saber were also fighting it.

Berserker of white which is Shiro's servant raises her mace and shoots lightning to the sky making it rain down at the beast, Mordred sends red energy slashes while Artoria stabs it with her spear, then Medea shoots many magical blasts at it while Medusa stabs her neck summons Pegasus.

She then flies into he horse with Boudica joining her too.

Leonidas watches the fight from a roof top, he was thinking of a plan, this beast was too power to be killed by just the servants, he then montions his hands and then the arrancars came and they all shoot ceros blasting holes through the beast.

"Take that."Apacci said but then it regenerated."darn it."

"It seems we are going to get more serious."Harribel takes out her sword surprising them.

"Destroy, Triburon!"Harribel changed.

They then saw her in her true form and Archer saw her."Oh, I wonder what this woman can do."

"La gota."she sends a water blast at it.

"So a creature of water has come to face me, but not even you can stop me, Gilles de Rais!"he said inside of the beast.

"So that's his name."Leonidas said.

Zack then runs foward and jumps to the sky."Digivolve!"he then changes and everyone looked at him to see he changed into Angemon.

"He's an angel now!"Irisviel said shocked.

Everyone was stunned seeing him with the members of the church even more shocked.

"Yes, finally a punishment from god, you have sent one of your soldiers."Gilles said.

"Hand of fate."he then shoots a blast at it."I can't reveal Geed yet but Leonidas has something planned at least."

Leonidas was preparing before he senses someone and he looks to the side to see Tokiumi."So we finally meet."

"Yes, I'm surprised to see that you are in fact my sister's son."Tokiumi said.

Leonidas summons his mother and looks at his uncle."She only escaped so that she can avoid a loveless marriage since they gave the heir title to you."

"I can understand her reasons, even I would do the same, but you have a treasure that belongs to me."Tokiumi said.

"Sorry but."he takes out the necklace."This belongs to me now, but you might want to talk about Sakura too."Tokiumi nodded."What I told your wife is what I'm going to say, I am Sakura's true legal guardian, since by the rules it goes to the next of kin being me."

"That is true, I just never thought you existed."Tokiumi said."But why do you use runes, your a Tohsaka why not use the jewels."

"Oh that's easy, I do no wish to be compared to you."Leonidas said surprising him."Do you think after what happened to my mother and me that we would still want to be known as by your family, think again."

"Then allow me to show you the errors of your way."Tokiumi throws many jewels but Leonidas took out his staff and shoots each of them down.

"Too bad, but that's to be expected from my origin."Leonidas smirks.

"Your origin."Tokiumi got interested.

"Yes, unlike others my origin is Evolution."he said surprising him."That's right the part of the root that wants people to grow and evolve, with it my techniques get stronger as I evolve, it leaves my old self becoming something more."He then changes into his cursed mark state making Tokiumi step back."And now."He then jumps off the building and goes inside the ground, then it starts to shake as everyone then sees eight serpent heads come out and they all stare down at Caster, this is Leonidas Eight headed serpent jutsu.

The masters got shocked while his team was amazed, then the head in the middle opens it's mouth to reveal Leonidas there inside of it.

"And now!"he then puts on his hollow mask as each head charges up a cero and shoot at caster vaporizing him from existence."Behold the power, I am no longer a snake I am a dragon, the immortal dragon."

"Leonidas."Medea smiled."You have truly become the most powerful master."

"Wow look at him."Victor said.

"Leonidas has grown beyond what we knew he could do."Yui said.

"Yeah he can even defeat Aizen now."Hank said.

"That's impossible."Waver was scared.

"Interesting it reminds me of a hydra."Rider said.

Kiritsugu watches him from on top of a building and he contacts Maiya."The master of Blue caster is getting too strong, in order to finish this we need a strong Anti-Fortress Noble phantasm."

"Saber."She said.

He nodded and raises his hand.

Saber was in shock like the others before she starts to move on her own, she was surprised before her sword starts to charge up, everyone looked at her with Leonidas noticing the big blade of light.

"Master shall I stop her?"Artoria asked.

"There's no need."Draco said.

"Come on, we have the weapons that can stop Excalibur."Mordred said.

"Watch."Victor said.

They then saw Leonidas use only one serpent head to charge up a cero, Saber then slashes foward sending a golden slash.

"Die!"Leonidas then shoots the cero and it then counters Saber's attack and they canceled each other out.

Kiritsugu, Maiya, Irisviel and Saber were in shock, they're most powerful Noble Phantasm was defeated without the enemy using his full strength.

He then changes back to normal and looks to where Kiritsugu is, then he used flash step to drag him in the middle of the battlefield surprising everyone.

"Kiri!"Irisviel said.

Maiya tries to shoot him but she got zapped stunning her, she looks back to see it was Roka.

Kiritsugu gets up to look at Leonidas.

"Well that was a cowardly tactic, just like the other times you fought, some hero."he said making Kiritsugu mad."I think you deserve punishment."he takes out his sword."Consume, Bishamon."it then changes and Archer got interested in his weapon.

"What do you know about being a hero."Kiritsugu raises his gun but then he got cut in the arm making him hold it.

"That should do it, after all I gave you a curse."Leonidas said.

"What curse, what the hell did you give me?"Kiritsugu said.

"It's a simple one, it enhances your senses to be super human, in fact it must be acting right now."Leonidas said.

Kiritsugu was stunned and he thought. Why is he speaking so slow?

"While I'm talking to you normally but to you it just sounds slow and tedious."Leonidas said while in Kiritsugu mind it was in slow motion.

"Now then."he then makes a blade of light."This sword, does it appear to have stopped."it was right in front of his face before he pulled it back."While your mind is advanced your body cannot react fast enough."Kiritsugu raises a hand up."Your body cannot respond to all the information your mind is giving it, even if you managed to block it with one hand your body cannot save it self in time as the pain will be delayed."He then stabs through his hand and goes through his chest."Don't worry that blade will only cause more pain, we will see each other in about a thousand years."

Then Kiritsugu's vision changed, he was still standing as the sword was still going towards him, his face looked dryed up and he looked older.

"It's been so long, how many years, no how many centuries has it passed, when will his blade pass through me."Kiritsugu said in his mind since his mouth couldn't move."Hurry and kill me already."then it hit him.

"I read your mind as well, a perfect world without wars and only peace, I'm sorry my friend but that is impossible since that type of peace doesn't exist, it might be a cliche but that is just the way things are."Leonidas said."That is why ordinary men try to find the concept of peace, it's like the holy grail it's infatuation, but like the grail what is the true meaning behind it, and the answer I found is nothing not one bit. The truth of the matter is I despise the holy grail war!"That shocked all the masters."After all the pain and suffering it causes that's it, the bottom line is there no evolution, no improvement, we have the most powerful item in existence that can summon all the heroes from the Throne of heroes and instead of summoning them and use them for knowledge and learn more about the past we use them for more wars and suffering, that only attracts greedy and prideful magus, then there's people like you."Leonidas stares at Kiritsugu."You call yourself a hero when you sacrifice innocent people in order to get your goals and say it was for the greater good, no hero should do that or care about wars, you hate the heroes because they hide the wars with heroics, but that's not they're fault it's the one that wrote they're legends, plus who cares about wars I'm happy that they're heroics are shown because it gives us hope something that is lost so easily, your allowed kill the enemy and avenge anyone that you care about but don't kill innocent people, do you understand to human beings like us the only thing we can count on is our humanity, the thing that makes us above all the monsters, in order words you might think you might have been prepared for me and could win but you are wrong the moment you tried to do your schemes here you already forfeit your humanity and already lost to me, and caring about wars makes you a man child that only cares about himself, that is of course you even are a human being anymore. I won't kill you but let's hope this serves as punishment."

Leonidas walks away and everyone looked at him with a stunned look, his team followed him and could see why he always hated the grail, they went back to the house to get a good night rest.

"Kiri."Irisviel went to check on her husband but he was still standing there like a statue.

Saber narrows her eyes at him, he used a command seal to force her to attack, he lost her trust because of that.

Note:Caster is dead and Leonidas revealed his origin and new power, also if you think I hate Kiritsugu then yes I do, because he's not a badass as many of you think, he's a coward he kills innocent people to get the target, he didn't care about children dying and he claims that he's some big hero when in reality he's a villain, there's other anti heroes out there that wouldn't do what he did.
