Chapter 0: Prologue Part 5

Mirai's POV:

We were readying ourselves as there was a woman standing before us. She was standing there, looking at us with a whimsical smile on her face. I had my gemstones in my hands ready, Sayaka had both her handguns aimed at her, Hiroko with her sword ready to be drawn out, and Aimi with her throwing knives in her leg straps and two machetes in her hands, while Assassin remains in spirit form, but was ready to attack at any point in time. We remained as cautious as possible.

Just who is she? A friend? Or a foe?

I stepped up and demanded, "So, tell us, are you the one responsible for this handiwork of writing?!"

The woman laughed out loud, as if something that I said was funny, before she replied with a big smile, "No, no! Not at all! Planning dirty tricks like that is the Masters' role. My kind simply fights where and when we're told to."

I remained silent while the others readied themselves.

Then, the woman opened her eyes and said, "Isn't that right, Mr. Invisible Man?"

Wait, what?! Hearing her say that suddenly shocked us as it caught us by surprise, as we realized what she was talking about. She can see him, even with his Presence Concealment? But…but how?

"Impossible…!" said Hiroko, shocked.

"But, how…?" Aimi questioned.

"Hm?" said the woman, "Ohh, you're wondering how I know your friend's there even if I can't see nor sense him?" She then laughed and said, "I don't need to do any of that to know that your friend's there right beside you when I can at least smell to tell that he's here."

"Uh…smell?" said Sayaka, somewhat disgusted, "The hell kind of nose do you have?"

"Well, smelling aside, there's no way you could possibly tell that he's with us." I said, "You said that your part of their kind, which means, you are a Servant!"

"Ooh~!" said the woman, excited, "And if you know all of that, little missy, does that mean you and your friends are my enemies?! How fun~!"

My companions were about to attack, before I halted them and said, "No, do not attack!" I looked around us for a moment. We were being surrounded by fences on the rooftop on four sides, and our space isn't big enough for us to fight in combat, leaving us at a disadvantage.

"We need to get out of the rooftop, fall back, and regroup." I whispered, "We can't fight here." Seeing what I was talking about, they nodded to my suggestion and lowered their weapons. I then turned to Aimi and whispered a command, "Aimi, prepare to use a smoke bomb. We need to distract her before she makes a move on us." Aimi nodded at my command and had readied her smoke bomb in her hands.

"Heh~?" said the woman, looking curiously at us, "Are you planning a strategy already, even though you're trapped like sitting ducks? C'mon, you know there's no way you fight in the field this big!"

"Good." I thought, "She seems oblivious to what we're doing. Assassin, can you hear my thoughts?"

"Of course, Master." said Assassin telepathically, "I can hear you."

"Good." I thought, "Now listen, we're going to create a chance to escape and get out of this rooftop. While we run, we'll split up and get out of the roof. When I jump off the roof, you handle the landing."

"And your friends?" he asked telepathically.

"I'll draw her attention to me." I thought, "Giving my companions time to run out to the door, while we lead her to another big space. we can fight in. Are you with me on this?"

"Hmmm." said Assassin telepathically, as if he was thinking for a moment, before he answered, "Alright. Your shot."

"Good." I thought. I then whispered to my companions, "Alright, are you ready?" They nodded, signaling that they were ready.

We then turned back to the woman, who was now curious about what we were planning on doing.

"Ooh~!" said the woman, excited, still oblivious to what we were doing, "Are you planning to fight now?! Great~!"

Hold on…

"This is gonna be fun~!" the woman cheered.

Steady…

"I don't know what you're planning on doing while being stuck around here." said the woman, readying to attack, "But…"

One more second…

"Your time…" said the woman, as she began to move, "Ends here." Then, with incredible speed, she began to charge at us.

I then shouted, "NOW!"

"Huh?" said the woman, suddenly confused.

Aimi then moved aside and quickly throw the smoke bomb right at the woman's face, before it exploded, catching her off guard. The smoke exploded everywhere, blinding the woman as she was now coughing from the smoke and covering us. We used this cover for us to escape, and we split up, Sayaka, Hiroko, and Aimi quickly ran away just in time to get to the exit door, while I ran over to the fences while using one of the gemstones to shine to get the woman's attention, which was working as the smoke was slowly dying out.

I then began to chant as I enhanced my legs, "Es ist gross. es ist klein (It is large. it is small)." I then jumped and moved in incredible speed as I made a final chant, "¡Vox Gott Es Altas! (¡The Voice of God is the World!)"

I jumped over the fence and I was now flying off the roof before I began to fall as the wind blew at me. I then told Assassin, "Assassin, handle the landing for me!"

From my commands, Assassin, even in spiritual form, caught me and began to handle the landing by, after falling from the building, and as he held onto me tight, he landed his feet on the ground before jumping off somewhere where there would be more space, the track field. After he landed a second time, he let me off and I ran for a bit before I began to slow down, as I was then trying to catch my breath.

Then, suddenly, I felt the woman was behind me, readying to attack me. But, before she could land a blow on me, she was intercepted by Assassin, who protected me from the attack. After I was farther away from the woman, I turned around to see Assassin, already materialized, in front of me with his combat knife and a submachine gun, which he used to fire at the woman who was now backing away from the shots it was making. Once she was father away enough, Assassin stopped firing his submachine gun, and both of them stood where they were standing, facing each other, and nowhere else.

Yuzuru's POV:

I was finished with checking everything that was needed to be checked in the archery club. After I was done cleaning and checking everything, I looked around for a bit, before I smiled in satisfaction. Finally, I was done.

After that, I went to pack up my things and got ready to go home. But then…suddenly, I heard something outside. It was some very loud and rapid banging like something was being fired.

"Huh?" I said, turning my attention to that sound, "What the-? What was that? Gunshots?"

I quickly finished packing my stuff before I went outside to see what was happening and what the sound was. I then found people out in a tracking field. One, I recognized as President Tohsaka, a man in a red hood and strange clothing with a knife and a machine gun in his hands, and a woman with blonde hair wearing a white shirt and a purple skirt. I then see the three girls who were with President Tohsaka as they came over to her side.

"What's going on?" I said, confused.

Mirai's POV:

Assassin and the woman were facing against each other, Assassin armed and ready, while my companions, who had just arrived after leaving the school building, came over to my side as they readied themselves to protect me.

I then looked at the woman for a moment. She…didn't have any weapons, only her hands with sharp claws. Strange. I've never seen nor heard of any kinds of Servants with such claws. What Servant-Class is she? No, better yet, is she even a Servant at all?

"Assassin, do not attack yet." I commanded, and Assassin nodded while he remained where he was, gun still pointing at the woman. I then turned to the woman and asked, "If I may ask, what Class of Servant are you?"

"Hmm?" said the woman, "What am I?" She then laughed at my question before she gave out a whimsical smile and asked back, "Does it matter what I am?"

"It is." I answered, "Because never have I seen nor heard of a Servant who fights with nothing but bare hands and razor-sharp claws as weapons before, so there is no telling what kind of Servant-Class you are unless you have a Noble Phantasm. Or…perhaps your claws are your Noble Phantasm?"

"Ahahahaha!" the woman laughed, "You're funny, you know that, little missy?!"

"This isn't a joke!" I demanded, "So, I will ask you again, what Class of Servant are you?!"

"Hmph!" the woman pouted, "Well, you're no fun!" She then turned her attention to Assassin, "Well, what about you, Mr. Mystery Man with the gun? What are you?"

Assassin said nothing as he remained silent. The mysterious female Servant continued to look at him as she was observing him. Then she guessed, "Well since you have a knife and a gun with you, I can only assume that you're an Assassin-Class Servant."

Assassin remained silent and stood where he was like a statue.

The woman then smiled and said, "Well, Mr. Assassin, if you think you're such a tough guy, why don't you come and take me on? Let me what a weak Servant like you can do. Go on, Assassin Man. I'm waiting."

Assassin remained where he was, not moving a single inch from where he was before he turned his head a quarter towards me. I see. Assassin must be waiting for my command. I looked at Assassin, then at the woman for a moment. Well, I suppose now would be a good time as any.

I turned to Assassin and commanded, "Assassin, you will not receive any assistance from me nor my companions. Right here and right now, show us what you can do. Attack the enemy Servant in front of you!"

Assassin nodded and said quietly for me to hear, "Understood, Master." He then turned back to the female Servant, before he powered himself up with a bursting amount of mana. The woman looked at him out of pure curiosity, wondering what he'll do.

Then, without missing a beat, Assassin began firing his submachine gun at the woman, catching her off guard as she quickly began to either take steps to back away from the shots he was making or shield herself. Assassin then began to run after her while he continued firing.

The woman then moved to the side away from the shots Assassin was making and began to charge at him with incredible speed, and as she was getting close to him, she was readying her armed claws to strike him down, only for Assassin to quickly, and mysteriously, dodge (or teleport?) away from her attack and attack her with his combat knife. The woman used her other hand to block the oncoming knife attack from Assassin and pushed him back with a kick. Assassin stood his ground and continued with his attack with his knife, trying to strike her down, but every time he tries to attack her, the woman kept on blocking his knife attacks, putting him in nowhere. The woman then kicked Assassin with sheer force, pushing him away from her before she began to get ready to attack, only for Assassin to immediately fire his submachine gun again, forcing her to cover herself.

We stood where we were watching, as the fight continued with nothing but the sounds of gunshots and rubbles being made everywhere, both Assassin and the woman getting nowhere as they tried to get the upper hands at one another, putting them into a stalemate.

Then, Assassin and the female Servant stopped fighting and remained standing where they were, before the woman said, "Man, you're fast for an Assassin. You must be using some sort of tricks to get the better of me, or at least trying to keep up with Servants who're at least stronger than you."

"So, is wait and see your strategy now?" Assassin asked, "Or perhaps you're just taking a break from this?"

The woman laughed and said with a whimsical smile, "Hardly, Mr. Mystery Man! Well, since we've fought for a little while, how about an introduction? What land's Heroic Spirit are you? I can tell you're an Assassin, but I've never seen nor heard of an Assassin capable of moving at such speed, faster than the eye could see."

"You, on the other hand, are just as unidentifiable as I am." said Assassin, "However, I can tell that you use brute force and raw power to fight, given that you don't use weapons and only your claws for battle, and martial arts for close combat. Add to that, given that there are many heroes who fight with raw strength and power, I can only assume that you are a Berserker-Class Servant."

"Oh, ho~!" said the woman, now named Berserker, excitedly, "I'm amazed! You can tell that I'm a Berserker after a brief exchange of battle?! You're amazing, Mr. Mystery Man!"

"I see." I said, "You're a Berserker-Class Servant, yet…there's something off about you."

"Yes, I can tell, as well, Master." said Assassin, before he said to Berserker, "You don't have any Madness Enhancement on you."

"A Berserker without any Madness Enhancement?" Hiroko questioned.

"Just what on earth is she?" Sayaka questioned.

"Indeed." said Aimi, "Even I do not understand how there can be a Servant capable of battles without Madness Enhancement."

Berserker laughed and said, "That's because I don't need any Madness Enhancement to help me win in a fight. Besides, my idiots of Masters are being cautious about it, if I used Madness Enhancement, I'd only lose my rationality and could easily kill you without meaning to."

"I see." I said.

"Well, then, enough talk." said Berserker, as she went back to her fighting stance, "Shall we continue?"

Assassin readied his gun and said, "I won't stop you. I have to defeat you, sooner or later."

Assassin must be careful. We don't know what kind of Noble Phantasm that Berserker has up her sleeves.

Yuzuru's POV:

Whoa! I couldn't believe my eyes. Those strange people, fighting against each other, with such incredible strength and speed, as if they're trying to kill each other. What is this? Just what on earth is going on?! My God. This…this feels so…unnatural.

I feel so shocked at what I was seeing, that I stepped back from what was in front of me, accidentally stepping on a twig beneath my shoes, suddenly alerting the blonde woman.

"HUH?!" the woman instantly turned around, alerted by the sound that I accidentally made, "WHO'S THERE?!"

OH, CRAP! I think I've been spotted!

I quickly turned around and immediately ran away from this scene for my life as quickly as I could, running away for dear life. I had to escape or hide!

Mirai's POV:

"Huh?!" I turned to where Berserker was looking and saw someone running away.

"A witness?!" Sayaka shouted, shocked.

"In the middle of the night?!" Hiroko shouted, just as shocked as Sayaka.

"Dammit, why now of all times?!" I shouted.

I then turned to see Berserker was gone.

"Dammit!" I cursed, "She must've gone after the witness! She's going to kill him!"

"Milady, what do we do?!" Aimi quickly asked.

I turned to Assassin and commanded, "Assassin, go after Berserker! Do not let her get to him!"

"Understood!" said Assassin, before he went to spirit form to go after her.

"Let's go!" I commanded, "We're going after them! Spread out and find that witness, but do not attack him! Keep him alive!"

"Yes, milady!" they bowed before they went off separately to find the witness. Then, I went out to find him as well. He must be around somewhere!

Yuzuru's POV:

I ran inside the school building and ran around the corridors of the hallway. I don't know where I'm going! I just need to run and hide somewhere safe! I need to get away from whatever was coming after me! I quickly took the stairs and ran upstairs to go to a higher floor.

After I made it farther up top, I immediately turned to the classroom door that was opened, quickly ran inside, and immediately shut the door, closing it as tight as I could with the door. I then quickly went to the other door and made sure it was also shut tight. I quickly then went to the desks, quickly carrying them one by one to create a barricaded door, blocking the door so that nobody, or whatever I just saw, could try to break in. I was trapped, but at least the barricades on both doors should be enough to give me some time to find a way to escape. Okay, I need to hurry be-FAMMMFFF!

Suddenly, I felt something grabbing my mouth, and I was being lifted off the ground. Something invisible was holding me and lifting me. W-What…what's going on?!

Suddenly, I see the blonde woman from before, appearing right in front of me, looking at me with her red crimson eyes. Oh, God! Seeing her suddenly made me horrified that I was screaming out for dear life even in my muffled mouth. How…how did she get in?! What's going on?!

"Oh, dear~!" she smiled at me, "You didn't really think you could hide from me, did you?"

"MMMMMFFF MMMFFF MMFF (GOD, WHAT ARE YOU)?!" I screamed in my muffled mouth, "MMMFFF MF MMMFF (PLEASE, LET ME GO)!"

"Hmm?" said the woman, playfully, "What was that~? I can't hear you~?"

"MMMMMMMMMFFFFFFF (WHAT IS GOING ON)?!" I screamed in my muffled mouth, while thrashing around with my legs, trying to get her grip off me, "MMMFFF MMFF MMMFF (LET ME GO)! MMMMFFF MMMFF, MMMMMMFFFF, MMMFFF MMFF MMMFF (OH GOD, PLEASE, LET ME GO)!"

"Oh, my, you're a feisty one, aren't you~?" she laughed at my struggle before she looked at me and said almost darkly, "So, you saw, didn't you? What was going on? What we were doing?"

Suddenly, I stopped struggling, as I was now being frightened by the crimson-eyed look that she was giving me. Her crimson eyes glowed, looking straight into my eyes, as the moonlight behind her shined, giving me a look of a shadowy monster that was right in front of me, like a deadly vampire in the night. Oh, God! What is she going to do?!

"Aw~ So, you did saw~" she smiled, "My, my, my, what a bad boy we have here~!" She then looked at me in the eyes and asked wickedly, "Tell me, have you ever heard the saying, 'dead men tell no tale'? Hmm~?"

I thought about what she asked me for a moment before realization hit me. Oh, God, no! She wouldn't! She can't! OH, GOD, NO, SHE CAN'T! I began to scream again for dear life as I didn't want to die, screaming for someone to help me.

"I really didn't wanna do this~" said the woman, "Truly, I didn't. But I'm just following the rules here, and people like you, who saw what happened today, must die, so…I'm~sor~ry~"

Then, I felt something, so sharp and painful, piercing through my chest, making me scream out even more from the pain she was giving me. I could feel she was using her other hand to pierce through my chest, moving around while slowly and painfully trying to reach my heart. Oh, God, it hurts so much!

"I'm gonna crush your little heart now, little boy~" she whispered in my ears, "But, don't worry~ It'll be over, very, very, very soon~"

OH, GOD, NO! NOOO! I DON'T WANNA DIE! I DON'T WANNA DIE!

Just then, before the woman could finish me off, I heard an explosion, and the woman suddenly released me, dropping me to the ground, as I then heard gunshots being made. As I lay there, my vision became blurry, as I was losing consciousness. God, what's happening…? Am I…gonna die here…? I-I can't…

Mirai's POV:

I came upstairs of the school building as fast as I could as soon as I heard an explosion and then gunshots coming from upstairs, and my companions had quickly regrouped and began to follow me upstairs. As soon as we made it up, we saw Assassin standing in front of the exploded door of the classroom. He must've found Berserker there and broke in. We quickly came to him and looked at what was in the classroom. Aside from the signs of an explosion that Assassin made and the broken desks that were caught on the impact, we found the boy who saw our fight lying on the ground, bleeding from his chest.

"I barely made it." said Assassin.

"And Berserker?" I asked, without looking at him.

"Escaped and gone." he answered, "Just as soon as I made it here and broke in."

"Damn…!" Sayaka cursed.

Aimi approached the boy and slowly and carefully turned him around to see his face. To our shock, it was the same boy that we met yesterday, Yuzuru Shindou.

"M-Milady…" said Aimi, shakenly, "T-This…t-this boy is…"

I swallowed hard and said, "I know." I then turned to Assassin and ordered, "Assassin, go after Berserker. We need to know who's her Master. We'll take care of this."

Assassin nodded before he went to spiritual form to go after Berserker.

I then turned my attention back to the boy that was most likely dying, before I knelt on my knees to check on him, by first checking his plus, and then his breathing.

"Well, Ojou-sama?" Hiroko asked, "Anything?"

"Is he…already dead?" Sayaka asked hesitantly.

I checked on the boy for a moment, on his vitals, on his pulse, and on his breathing, before I answered, "No. He's still alive. It's faint, but he's still breathing, and his pulse is still there."

Hearing this puts my companions at ease, before I added, "However, if not treated properly now, he'll most likely die. We need to hurry and treat his wounds and injuries now." I turned to Aimi and ordered, "Aimi, see if you can heal him with your healing magecraft."

"Yes, Ojou-sama." Aimi bowed before she began to check the boy for any signs of injuries. The only injury that this boy has right now is his chest, so Aimi observed his chest for a moment carefully. Once she was done, she said, "It would seem that he's wounded around his chest area, most likely around his heart. It would seem likely that Berserker would've crushed his heart had Assassin not intervened."

"Can you still heal it?" I asked.

"Well, I can try to heal him." said Aimi, "I'll try to heal him until his wound closes, but it's going to require some more mana for me to completely heal him. Because even with my healing magecraft, he won't be able to survive the further the wound gets."

"I see." I said before I then went and took out a red gemstone and said, "Here. This gem has been produced with 5-6 years' worth of mana. I've been storing this gem every day with the amount of mana I've been giving it. Will this be enough to work?"

Aimi took the gemstone to look at it, and then feel its power I've stored into it, before she answers, "Yes, milady, this is more than enough. But-"

"Then, use it." I commanded, "If this amount can save him, then so be it. Use it, now!"

"A-As you wish." Aimi bowed before she began to use the gemstone by placing it on his wounded chest area and then began to chant healing words in German.

I then placed both my hands, on top of hers and said, "I'll assist you on this one. It'll help put less stress on your body this way."

Aimi stopped for a moment to nod at me and said, "Of course. Thank you, milady."

We then looked back at the boy and continued to chant healing words on him to heal him. This was going to take a little while.

We continued using chants to heal him, applying both our mana and the gem's mana until his wounds were fully healed, and the gemstone turned gray, hinting that the mana it had left was gone, and it cracked to pieces. Once we were done healing him, Aimi checked on him to make sure if he was completely healed yet by looking at his chest for a minute. And, just to our relief, he was fully healed, looking just like he was before.

"We did it." I said.

"Yes, milady." Aimi smiled, "With this, Shindou-sama will be able to live again and be back to normal in no time."

"Well, that's a relief." said Sayaka.

"Indeed." said Hiroko, "Still, to think that this boy would foolishly be here at this hour. What on earth was he doing here?"

"He probably stayed behind to do something." Sayaka guessed, "That's the only explanation I can think of."

"Yes." I said as I looked at the boy who was still unconscious.

"Well, we need to go." said Hiroko, "Before he wakes up."

"Right." said Sayaka, "I'm sure after all this, he's probably gonna go home feeling freaked out about tonight."

"Indeed." said Aimi, as she was getting up, "It's unfortunate, but we must leave him immediately."

I, however, did not get up from the floor as I continued to look at the boy for a moment, before I then used my Mystic Eyes to predict his future, what would happen if we left him here. Once I saw what his fate may be if we leave him, I then looked for an alternative for his fate. After I was done, I answered, "No. We can't leave him."

My companions turned to me, shocked at what I was saying.

"O-Ojou-sama?" said Hiroko, confused.

I turned to my companions and said, "We're taking him with us."

"B-But, milady-" Sayaka tried to reason.

"If we leave him here, he'll only become a target again." I said, "And if Berserker learns that this boy is still alive, it is most likely she'll come after him again, and then this time, she won't hold back. She will kill him this time, and this time, we won't be able to save his life again. So, we're bringing him with us, back to our mansion."

"I see." said Hiroko.

"Yes, it does seem likely." said Aimi.

"But what'll we do then?" Sayaka asked, "If we bring him with us, then Berserker will be coming to us, too. She won't just come after this kid, she'll come after us, too."

"Yes, that's the plan." I said, as I got up and turned to them, "We'll use him as bait to lure Berserker to us. Once she does, we'll try to finish her off. This will be our only chance to take down Berserker before she goes to finish him off for good." I then looked back to the boy and added, "And besides, believe it or not…he's the one, the final piece for this war, and the key to our goal."

My companions looked at the boy as they thought about what I was suggesting to them. Once they realized what I meant, they looked at me with wide eyes, clearly shocked at what I was telling them.

"A-Are you certain…?" Aimi asked hesitantly.

"Yes, I am." I said.

"If we bring him to this, there'll be no turning back for him." Hiroko warned.

"I know." I said, "However, I'm certain he's willing to do this. Once we return, prepare another summoning circle. Just trust me."

They looked at the boy for a moment, thinking about the decision that I was giving to them, that they would make, and what may come for him. After enough thinking, they turned to me and nodded as they then bowed and said, "Yes, Ojou-sama."

I nodded and said, "Good. Hiroko, Sayaka, carrying him to our home."

"Yes, milady." said Sayaka.

"As you wish." said Hiroko.

Both of them then proceeded to go and carry him back to our home. I then turned to Aimi who nodded and brought out her machetes, in case for protection. We then went back to our home while bringing the boy with us. This plan has to…no, it will work!

We all made it back home as soon as we could safely without any problems. Hiroko and Sayaka went off to take the boy to bed where he can rest for a while. I laid myself on the couch in the living room as I was tired from what had transpired. I laid my head on a cushion to rest my head and eyes for a while. Aimi brought a cup of tea over for me to drink.

"Ah…thank you…" I said, tiredly.

"You're welcome, milady." Aimi bowed before she dismissed herself.

I then sighed as I let myself into sleep for a moment.

After a while of sleeping, I woke up as I felt Assassin returning to our mansion, appearing in his materialized form, as he approached me from behind and said, "Forgive me, Master, but I couldn't find Berserker nor her Master."

"I see." I said as I got up, "Well, no matter. I already have a plan. Berserker will come to us soon enough."

Assassin was silent for a moment, before he took a guess, "And let me guess, you plan to use that boy as bait to lure her here."

"Is that a problem?" I asked, turning to him.

"Well, no, not strategically." said Assassin, as he waved it off with his hand a little, "However, the problem is that boy. What do you plan to do with him afterward? He's witnessed what has happened tonight, and no doubt, that boy will be scared and confused as to what is going on around him. And, not to sound paranoid, but it's likely that the boy will be going around seeking help and telling everyone what's happening."

"Hmph." I smiled, before I countered, "Well, that's no problem. Even if he did go around telling everyone what's going on, nobody will believe him anyway. And plus, we could always rewrite his memories, and he'll forget about what he just saw tonight." I then took my cup of tea to take a sip of it, before I added, "Besides, he's the final piece for the war. He's the one for the final Servant and the key to our cause. He'll be of great use to us."

"…and if he isn't?" Assassin asked.

"If not," I added, as I placed my cup down, "We'll erase his memories."

Yuzuru's POV:

W-What…what in the…w-what's…happened to me…last thing I remember was…ah, that's right! I remember!

Remembering what happened tonight, I shot up and…suddenly, I found myself…in a bed? Wait, what happened? Where am I? How did I get here?

I then looked at my chest and noticed something. No way. The injuries I got earlier…they're…gone. But…how? What's going on?

I slowly looked around at my surroundings. I was in a bedroom that looks to be from an elegant household, more specifically, a mansion. Someone must've saved me and brought me here. But, why? For safety? Or something else? Well, I guess I'm gonna have to find out. And lying in bed won't do me any good and won't help me figure out what's going on. I slowly checked myself if I could move for a bit before I got out of bed and quietly went to the door. I slowly opened the door and took a look outside of the room for a bit, checking if it was clear before I then went out of the room and quietly shut the door. Outside, I was standing in a dark hallway, so dark that it was almost hard to see at night, with the only light around being the moonlight on a moonlit night.

"Man." I said, quietly, "From the looks of how big this hallway is, I guess I must be in a mansion." I looked around the hallway as I walked around, before I found there were stairs leading downstairs, and added, "Must be a two-story building. I wonder what kind of mansion I'm in. And I wonder why the lights are off? Did…someone forget to turn on the lights or something?"

Suddenly, I felt like someone was watching me from behind, so I turned around to see what it was, but…as soon as I did, I found nothing. I then sighed as I turned back and said, "I must be imagining things…"

Then, all of a sudden, I felt something, or someone, push me down to the ground as they grabbed my arms and locked me down to the ground, before using a hand to put my face down, preventing me from looking at them. Ow, god! It hurts! Ow! Now, what's happening?! What the hell's going on?!

I then heard a girl's voice warn me, "Don't move! And don't struggle!"

I didn't know what on earth was happening, nor did I know who that person was, but I decided to comply and do whatever this person said. I nodded a bit, confirming to her that I was doing what she said.

"Good." said the mysterious girl, before she placed what felt like a gun on the back of my head and warned, "If you try to do anything funny, you're a dead man. Got it?"

I nodded, afraid of the gun being pointed behind me.

"Good." she said before she began interrogating, "Now tell me, what were you doing at the academy so late at night?"

"H-Huh?" I said, confused for a bit, before I realized what she was asking and said quickly, "O-Oh! U-U-Uh…w-well, you see…Uh, I, uh…I-I was helping out a club and, uh…I-I stayed behind to check on some stuff to make sure that everything was fine! It was a request from a club member that asked for my help t-to take care of things! T-That's all there it is!"

"Honest?" she asked, "You're not lying?"

"N-No!" I said, "I-I'm not lying! Really, that's all there is, I swear!"

"I see." she said, "Then, what did you do after that? What did you see?"

"W-Well," I said, "Uh…I…I-I was on my way ready to go home, but…t-then I heard some gunshots, and t-the next thing I knew, I saw some strange people fighting against each other, r-really in a strange way, like in some kind of supernatural kind of way, and watching them were four girls, t-they're from the student council, t-that's all I know about them!"

"Then, what?" she interrogated, as she pushed the gun a bit further, "What else happened?!"

"O-O-Okay, okay, okay!" I panicked a little, telling her I'd talk a bit more, "I-I'll talk! I'll talk! J-Just don't shoot me!"

"Then talk!" she threatened, "Or I'll blow your head off!"

"Okay, okay!" I said, continuing what I was telling her, "I-I-I'll tell you! I'll tell you! Just don't! W-W-Well, t-t-the next thing I knew, I was spot, and…and then I tried to run away from that blonde woman who spotted me! I-I tried to hide myself, i-i-in order for me to find a way out of…w-whatever the hell was going on! B-But then I was caught, a-and…w-well, t-the last thing I remember, I was…I was being tortured by that woman, and I thought I was gonna die! B-but then everything went black, and…t-t-that's all I know! That's all I know what happened! Believe me, that's all I can remember, I swear!"

"I see." she said before she removed the gun from the back of my head and said, "Alright, that's all we need to know."

"H-Huh?" I said, trying to get my head to look up. "W-We?"

Suddenly, she pushed me back down and warned, "I said, don't move!"

"Ow!" I shouted, in pain, "O-Okay, okay, okay! I'm not moving!"

"Good." she said, "Now, listen, your life was saved by us and we brought you to this manor so that we could keep you safe. However, your life's still in danger, and that woman who attacked you will no doubt come back to finish you off, and this time, we won't be able to save you again."

"W-What?!" I said, shocked. Now, I'm really scared.

"I know you're scared, and it's only natural that you should be." she said, "But, right now, I need you to calm down and listen to me, very, very closely. I'm only going to say this once. I won't repeat myself afterward. Understand?"

Oh, man. I really didn't know what to do. I don't wanna die this time. I'm scared, but…yeah, this is the only choice I have. I can't die here this time, not like this. Besides, I think whoever they are, they're actually trying to help me. I'll listen to what this person tells me, and I'll do it.

I took a deep breath to calm myself down before I nodded to whoever was behind me and said calmly, "Okay, I'm listening."

"Good." she said before she began explaining, "Now, listen, behind the manor of our backyard, there's something that's hidden deep within the forest. It's something that will help you fight against that woman you just saw, and it requires you to make it work. Go deep into that forest, where finding you will be difficult for that woman, and run away from this manor as far away as possible, and don't stop until you find what's hidden deep in that forest. Find it, and then use it."

"O-Okay." I said, taking it all in, before I asked, "W-Well, what is it that's hidden in that forest? Is it important?"

"You'll find out soon enough." she said, before she continued, "In the meantime, while you go into the forest to look for it, we'll distract that woman and buy you some time until you find it and have it ready. You need to make it quick, or we'll lose, and you'll lose your life this time. You get one chance at this, and you have to make it count. Understand?"

I nodded.

"Good." she said, "That woman is on her way now, so the moment I let go of you, you better start running to the stairs to the backyard as fast as you can and reach deep into the forest, and no matter what, don't look back. Got it?"

I nodded and said a little nervously, "Y-Yeah. Got it."

"Good." she said, "Now, then…" Then, the moment she let go of me, she commanded, "Go!"

The moment she did, I quickly got up on my feet and began dashing as fast as I could to the stairs, reaching downstairs before I began to run to look for the door that led to the backyard, without looking back.

Sayaka's POV:

The moment I let go of him, he began dashing off already without looking back to see me. Good. You better find the summoning circle soon, and you better hurry and summon Saber. Otherwise, it's not just you, we'll all be dead.

I then readied my two handguns as I loaded them with magazines filled with fire-based elemental bullets, preparing myself for a fight.

"Well," I thought to myself, "Here goes nothing."

I then turned around and got myself ready to fight, as I then heard an explosion, and someone crashed in through the roof. Dammit, Berserker's here already! Better fight now!

Yuzuru's POV:

I began to panic as I then heard an explosion from upstairs, and then there were gunshots being made. That means she's here already, and someone from before must be fighting her off! Dammit, what do I do?! Should I go back and help her?!

I thought about it for a moment, thinking about what I should do, before I decided, "No, I should do what I was told to do and get to the backyard!"

I heard some more gunshots being made upstairs, before I thought to myself, "I gotta hurry!"

I then began searching my way around the mansion to find the door to the backyard as quickly as I could.

Sayaka's POV:

The moment Berserker showed up in front of me, I opened fire with my two guns and I began shooting at Berserker, creating fire explosions upon impact, creating a large smoke everywhere around the room. I keep on shooting and shooting at Berserker until I ran out of bullets and I quickly reloaded my ammunition, readying myself to fire at Berserker again.

"That should get her…" I said, "Now, did it work?"

As soon as the smoke cleared, however, and to my shock, Berserker appeared with a whimsical smile, completely unfazed and unscratched.

"Aww~ Was that supposed to hurt~?" she laughed, "How cute~ That only tickled, you know~"

I gritted my teeth in anger and I began firing at Berserker again, despite knowing that shooting her down wouldn't work on her.

"Aww, c'mon~" she said, whimsically, as she was walking close to me, despite me shooting at her, "You know that won't work on me."

Dammit! I hate to admit it, but she's right! No matter how much I kept shooting at Berserker, she's still a Servant, and my bullets, no matter how much they're enhanced with magic, won't faze or even lay a scratch on her!

Before I could even reload my next round, I was grabbed by Berserker, who had already reached me, and then was thrown off downstairs with powerful force, making me crash hard onto the floor creating a broken crater.

Luckily, I was able to enhance my body to prevent myself from getting further injured, but it wasn't enough to prevent how much it hurts.

"Owww…!" I groaned, in pain, trying to get myself back up while slowly reloading my guns, "God…fucking…dammit…! C'mon, you dumbass…whatever the hell you're doing, you better hurry…!"

Yuzuru's POV:

I kept looking around the mansion as fast as I could to try to find the exit to the backyard, but I was having no luck as I had no idea where I was going. The mansion was so dark right now, I could barely see anything. As I kept on looking, I heard gun shots, fighting, and explosions being made around the mansion, making me panic. Dammit, what do I do?! Where the hell do I go?!

"Psst!" I heard someone whisper, making me turn around to see a shadow, a silhouette of a girl in a maid costume hiding in the corner, before she whispered to me, "This way, good sir! Follow me!"

"H-Huh?!" I said, confused, "W-what…w-who are-?!"

"There's no time, just trust me!" she whispered, "Hurry!"

She then began to move, running in the direction she wants to lead me to.

"H-Hey!" I shouted, as I ran and began to follow, "W-Wait!"

As I was running after her, she was running ahead, way faster than I am. Man, for whoever this maid is, she sure is super-fast! But I kept running after her as fast as my feet could let me, making sure so that I wouldn't fall behind. I wonder where she's taking me? Maybe the exit to the back? As we kept running, the silhouette of the maid suddenly stopped in her tracks as we reached what seemed like a dead end. I couldn't tell since it was still dark.

I then heard some click, like something was unlocked, and then suddenly, out of nowhere, a door in front of me opened, revealing the backyard that was wide and large, filled with large greenery and had two pillars that were evenly close together on the farther backside, behind it were purple followers grown in the gardens, and sidewalks. Farther behind it were tall trees, revealing to be the dark forest. That must be it. If I go there…

"This is the way out!" said the silhouette girl, "Now, hurry, go!"

"Huh?!" I said, looking at the silhouette of the girl, "B-But, what about-?!"

"We'll be fine, trust us!" she said before she gave me a sword for me to defend myself, "Take this, good sir. Do not worry about us, now go!"

"O-Okay…!" I said as I took the sword with me.

We then heard another explosion, some sword clashing, then more gunshots, and fighting going on. The silhouette of the girl then turned and pushed me out of the mansion to the backyard as she shouted, "GOOOOO!"

Hearing her shout prompted me then to run as fast as I could, running all the way to get into the forest.

Aimi's POV:

I watched as Shindou-sama ran for his life to reach the forest. As soon as he made it and got into the forest, he was gone, deep into the forest where no one, not even Berserker could find him…at least, for now.

"Shindou-sama…" I prayed quietly for him, "Please, be safe…"

I then quickly closed the door as soon as I heard another explosion, before I then drew out my machetes and prepared myself for battle. I quickly ran to find Sayaka and Hiroko to aid them.

Hiroko's POV:

Sayaka and I were thrown back with our backs against the wall as we were both knocked by Berserker, before we landed face on the ground, groaning in pain from the beating and injuries we received from her.

"Damn…!" I coughed and groaned, in pain, as I used my sword to put me back up on my feet, "She's…so strong…!"

"Well, no shit…!" Sayaka coughed and groaned, also in pain, as she tried to get up with her hands on her knees, "Nothing we do is working…!"

Berserker was standing in front of us, with that whimsical smile on her face while laughing at us, "Aww, what's the matter~? Is that the best you can do~?"

"Grrrgh…!" I growled, "God, this woman is starting to annoy me…!"

"Well, for mere girls, you sure know how to fight." she smiled, "Especially against a Servant like me!"

We readied ourselves, preparing to either attack or defend ourselves if she attacks us first.

"Now then, tell me~" said Berserker, as her crimson eyes shined, looking at us like a vampire, "Where did you hide the kid~?"

I scoffed and said, "As if we'd tell you, you monster…!"

"Yeah, what she said…!" said Sayaka, "As if we'd tell you anything, you vampire…!"

Berserker laughed at what we called her and said half-jokingly, "Monster? Vampire? What a terrible thing to say~" She then glared at us with a smile and said, "Though, then again, you're right about me. I AM a vampire, in a way."

I gritted my teeth and growled, before I angrily said, "Just what the hell…kind of Heroic Spirit are you?!"

"Who am I, you asked?" said Berserker, before she chuckled and said, "That…is a good question. Too bad you girls will never know."

Berserker then began to slowly approach us, readying her claws to finish us with a strike. While we tried to back away from her, she continued to walk towards us while saying, "Now, tell me where that kid is, so that I can finish him off, and maybe I'll let you and your boss woman off the hook~"

"Never!" I shouted, "We'll never tell you anything!"

"Aw, c'mon~" she smiled, "You know the rules to the Holy Grail Wars, right~? Anyone who witnesses anything related to the Holy Grail War, such as our fight back at the school, must die and be silenced permanently. That's one of the rules of this Grail War, no~?"

"Yeah, we know…!" said Sayaka, "But we don't like it, so we try to avoid it as much as possible!"

"Oh, then why are you helping the kid in keeping him alive?" Berserker asked, "Because you want to?"

"Our lady's orders." I said, "We're keeping him alive for a reason, and you'll never learn why. And even if you did find out, you'd be dead before you can even say anything to your Master!"

Berserker laughed at my statement and said, "Really~? Well, I don't know what it is, but I can't wait to find out once I'm through with you~"

We kept on walking back until our backs were against the wall, leaving us cornered by Berserker, who then raised her clawed hand up, readying to strike us down. Before she could finish us off, she said, "Well, for what it's worth, you two sure put up a pretty good fight against a Servant like me. But now, it's time to put this…to an end. Starting with you, uh…Mohawk-man?"

"Ugh…" I groaned from hearing that, "OF course, because of my hair…" And I look like a man…

"As I was saying," Berserker continued, with a whimsical smile, "Then the blonde, then the maid, then Mr. Mystery Man, and then the boss woman, all the way to the kid."

"This is bad." I thought.

Suddenly, we looked and noticed Aimi approaching Berserker, stealthily and quietly, from behind. In her hand was a spoke bomb that was infused with lightning-based elements, powerful enough to both blind and electrocute her. Aimi looked at me and gave me a nod, signaling us to give it a go. I nodded back to her without Berserker noticing and then turned back to Berserker, who was now ready to strike us down.

Before she could, however, I said, "Well, you're right about one thing, it's time for this to end…but not for us."

This left Berserker confused, just enough for Aimi to jump up and then throw the lightning-infused smoke bomb right at her, exploding after making contact and then blinding and electrocuting Berserker, and just giving us time for us to escape while she's distracted and screaming from the pain of the electrocution.

While we ran for our lives away from Berserker as much as possible, I turned to ask Aimi, "Where's the boy?"

"Already out in the forest." said Aimi, "He should be out finding the circle by now."

"Good." I said, "Then we need to find a bigger space to fight and distract Berserker as much as we can."

"Yeah, okay!" said Sayaka, as she reloaded her ammunition, "But where the hell are we supposed to fight?!"

"The only place we can go is the backyard." I said, "However, that would only risk our plan and the boy's life."

"That is true." said Aimi, "However, I believe we shouldn't worry about Shindou-sama as of this moment, because even if Berserker does enter the forest, the area there is too vast and too deep for her to search for him."

"Well, then, I say fuck it and move it!" said Sayaka, "Besides, there's not enough room for us to use for as a battleground in here, or even hide for that matter! We need more space!"

Dammit! I hate to say this, but she's right! Besides, even with our lady and Assassin about to aid us now, we don't have any other choice!

"Alright, then." I said, "Let's go!"

"Right!" they nodded.

We then heard an explosion behind us. Berserker must've broken free from the electrocution. We continued to run as fast as we could until we would reach the backyard. We have to hurry!

Mirai's POV:

Assassin and I were at the roof of the mansion, watching as the boy entered deep into the forest. I asked Assassin since he was using his sniper rifle, "Well, is he in?"

"Yes." he answered, "He's already in. Probably won't be long before he finds the circle."

"Good." I said, "The plan has to work."

"Indeed." said Assassin, "Otherwise, this war will never truly begin."

We then heard felt explosions underneath us, what was happening from the inside. My companions are no doubt trying to buy time. Well, I suppose now we should enter the fight as well.

"Assassin, get ready." I commanded, "We're about to face Berserker again."

"Understood." said Assassin, as he got up and dematerialized his sniper.

He then went over to me to hold onto my waist and then lifted me up, before he jumped off the roof carrying me in his arm. After we landed on the ground, we turned around to face the back of the mansion, as I prepared my gemstones in my hand while Assassin readied his submachine gun and his combat knife. We looked at each other for a moment, before we nodded to each other and readied ourselves.

Then, there was an explosion, and smoke blew out everywhere, causing us to cover our eyes and mouth for a moment before everything cleared, revealing my companions running towards us before they stood right by our sides with their weapons readied as well. We then see Berserker walking towards us, arms behind her back, and with a whimsical smile on her face.

"Wow~!" she smiled, excitedly, "The whole gang's all here~! Now, THIS is gonna be fun~!"

Yuzuru's POV:

I ran deep into the forest as fast as I could, looking for whatever it is that's hidden there, but everything seemed so dark, I could barely see anything. The only light that I have is from the moon.

"Dammit, I can barely see!" I said, "I don't know where I'm going!"

I heard explosions behind me, coming from back at that mansion. Whoever they are must be still fighting that woman. I gotta hurry and find it.

I kept on running and running as fast as my feet could let me, running away as far away as I can go into the forest. But then, I heard a tree branch crack, and then heard it break and fall. Oh, crap! That must mean…!

I quickly hid myself by a nearby tree, hiding as best as I could to cover myself, and holding onto my breath so that she couldn't hear me breathe.

I then began to hear slow but steady footsteps, as I then heard that woman, "Hmmm~ Ohh, boy~ Where are you~? Come out, come out, wherever you are~"

I did as best I could, trying to not make any sound. That woman must be searching for me. But…what happened to those people?

"Come on out, boy~" I heard her say, "I know you're here~ You got nowhere to run~ You have no place to hide~ Come on out, come out, wherever you are~"

"Dammit, don't move!" I thought to myself, "It's obviously a trap!"

"Hmmm~" I heard her say, "Now, where-oh-where could that little boy, possibly have gone~? I know he's hiding around here somewhere…"

I was sweating from anxiety as I was afraid of what she planned to do, but I remained as silent and hidden as I could possibly be. She doesn't know I'm hiding here, and the trees around us can be used as a distraction.

"Hmmm." I heard her say before I heard what sounded like sharp claws being drawn out, "Maybe, he's hiding somewhere behind those trees~ Maybe I should look for him, by lumberjacking~!"

"Oh, crap!" I thought, in fear, "She's gonna try finding me by cutting down the trees!"

I then heard a tree branch break down. That woman must be cutting them down to find me! Dammit, I gotta move!

"Ohh, boy~" she called out while cutting down the trees, "I know you're hiding here~ Come out, come out, wherever you are~" I then heard another tree branch break down as she called, "Come on out~"

I gotta move! I got out of my hiding spot as quickly while quietly as I could, without having her spotting me yet, as I moved to another hiding spot.

I then heard another tree break down as the woman said, "Hmmm…not here either…he's gotta be here somewhere…"

I then got out of my hiding spot again quickly and quietly, as I moved to another spot, without getting spotted, trying to get farther away from that woman as much as I can so that she couldn't find me. This is getting bad!

I then heard another tree break down as the woman groaned and said, "Urgh…dammit! I missed again…where the hell is that kid?!" I then heard her shout, "Hey, kid! Where the hell are you at?! Come out so I can see you and kill you, and for real this time!" I then heard her break another tree down before she cursed and shouted, "Goddammit! Where you at, kid?!"

I stayed where I was before I looked back a little. I saw the woman was still looking for me but to no luck. Good. I must've gone very far away from her to make it difficult for her to find me. I sighed quietly in relief, quietly enough so that she couldn't hear me. I'm safe, for now.

Then, I noticed something, something that was far in front of me. What was up ahead, straight ahead of me, was a clear space, a space that was big enough for anyone to go into, and on that space was…a drawing of a strange red circle. What is that? I then remembered what the person said to me. Wait…could this be it?

I looked at it for a moment, before I thought, "Yeah, this has to be it."

I then heard an explosion behind me. I turned to see what it was, before I saw the man in a red cloak and President Tohsaka from before, fighting against that woman again. The man was using a submachine gun while President Tohsaka was using…jewelry? I then watched as Tohsaka threw a red jewel at the woman before it suddenly exploded as it got close to her, creating an explosion so big, it brought down most of the trees around them, and it got a little close to where I was. Whoa! What in the world was that?! I wonder what's going on?!

I then got myself back together and said to myself, "No! No time for that yet! We need to do this first, ask questions later. I gotta hurry!"

I got out of my hiding spot and ran as fast as I could, running to get to that strange circle. I kept running and running as fast as I could, until finally…I made it! I made it to that space and to the circle. I stopped myself to take a breather for a moment before I looked at the circle.

The red circle had…very strange yet intriguing drawings in it like it was made to summon something, but…what?

"Okay…" I said, "So…now what? How am I supposed to use this? W-What am I supposed to do?"

Suddenly, I felt something painful and burning, something was burning into the skin of my left hand. Wait, this burning…! This pain…! It's…just like in my dream! I looked at the back of my left hand, and this time, I swore that there were these strange red markings on my hand, three of them. As the burning continued and the markings were being made until it finally revealed itself, I could finally make out what it looked like. These red markings…one of them looked like a cross, like a sword, while the other two looked like petals or wings on both sides.

"What the…?" I said, looking at it, "What is this…?"

Suddenly, I heard an explosion behind me, and I quickly turned to see it was, and much to my horror, it was that blonde red-eyed woman, who was standing there with her arms crossed while smiling whimsically at me.

"There you are~" she smiled, whimsically, "I finally found you, little boy~"

I was in complete shock and complete horror to see that woman had found me, that I had to step back away from her.

"Oh, come now~" she said, whimsically, "Surely, you didn't think you could hide from me forever, did you, little boy~? For a mere human, you sure have caused me a lot of trouble to find you, you and your little friends protecting you and all~ Though, then again, you're not exactly a mage, so it is pretty hard to find people nowadays."

"W-W-What…?" I said, scared and confused, "M-M-Mage…? W-What're you talking about…?"

The woman looked at me dumbfoundedly before she laughed at my confusion and question and said, "You have ABSOLUTELY no idea what you've gotten yourself into, do you, boy?!"

"W-W-What…?" I said, even more confused.

"Well, no matter." she said, as she readied her armed claw, "You'll already be dead before you even find out."

No way…am I…gonna die again…die by that woman…for real this time…without…achieving anything? I'm…really gonna die…here?

Flashback:

"I'll be your hero." I vowed to Minna that day, as the moon continued to shine down upon us in the night, "I'll become a hero who will protect you, Minna."

I smiled at Minna as I raised my pinkie finger and interlocked it with hers, tightened the lock of the pinkie promise, as I promised her, "Just leave it to me. Someday, you'll be in good hands! I promise I'll do my best…to be your hero!"

Hearing me vow my promise to her, Minna smiled brightly as she nodded and said happily, "Yeah! I know you will!"

Now:

I gasped from having that flashback, as that reminder returned me back to reality.

No…I can't…I can't die! I can't die! Not now! I made a promise, that I would be her hero! And I'm GOING TO DO IT!

I looked back at the woman, but this time, not out of fear, but out of determination as I drew out a sword given to me, as I readied myself in a fighting stance.

The woman looked at me surprised for a moment before she laughed and said, "Oh, c'mon, little boy! You can't be serious! Don't tell me you plan to fight with that toy sword!"

I didn't flinch, I looked at her with an angry look and determination as I said while gripping tightly onto the sword, "I'm…not…running…!"

"Oh?" said the woman, as she looked at me curiously.

"I made a vow…that I will be a hero for someone I care about…!" I said in determination, "And I'm going to do it…even if it means fighting you! Even if it kills me!"

The woman smirked and said as she got in a fighting stance, "Boy, don't make promises you can't keep."

I took a deep breath to ready myself before I yelled as I charged at the woman and prepared to strike her down from above, aiming for the top of her head to cut her down. Unfortunately, the woman effortlessly blocked my attack with two of her fingers from her left hand, putting me nowhere to strike her down.

"Aww~" the woman smiled, whimsically, "Is that the best you can do~?"

I stepped back away from the woman before I readied myself and attacked her, this time, at her right side, only for the woman to effortlessly block it again with her same fingers. I stepped back again before I tried striking her down, only to be blocked effortlessly again by her. I continued to try striking her down again and again wherever I could hit her, but she continued to effortlessly block all of my attacks, leading me to nowhere near getting to the woman.

"Aww, c'mon, now~" she smiled, whimsically, while continuing to block my attacks effortlessly, "Are your little 'hiyas' really necessary~? So cute~"

She then blocked my next attack on her left before she grabbed my sword and effortlessly crushed it, breaking my sword in two, putting me into utter shock for a moment, before I was pushed to the ground by force from that woman, who simply just pushed me away. It was a light push, yet it also felt forceful.

I laid there on the ground for a moment, before I turned to see that I still had the broken bottom of my sword in my left hand, and I tried to get myself back up.

"Oh, no, you don't~" said the woman, as she came over to me and stepped on my left arm, preventing me from moving it, and keeping me down on the ground, leaving me like a sitting duck. I was trapped.

"It's over, little boy." said the woman, "I am the victor." She then readied her sharp claws and said, "For what it's worth, you were a determined kid, but not good enough. Now, it's time for you to die."

Oh, no! Dammit, I'm dead for good this time!

"Well, then," she said, as she raised her claws up, ready to attack, "Say goodbye, ki-AAUGH!"

Suddenly, she was stopped by an explosion that came from behind her, forcing her to turn behind her away from me. Then there were gunshots being made, one from handguns, and the other from a submachine gun, before there were a few more gemstones that were thrown at her and they exploded. It must be them. This angered the woman as she got her foot off of my arm and paid her attention to them as she went to attack them. I got up back on my feet as I looked to see what was going on.

I then saw President Tohsaka standing in front of me as she stood in a fighting stance with her gemstones in her hands, before she turned a quarter of her head to me as she asked, "Are you alright?"

"H-Huh?!" I said, confused for a bit, before I said, "U-Uh…y-yeah, I'm fine!"

"Good." said President Tohsaka, "We'll keep distracting this woman for a while. Hurry and use the summoning circle. Quickly!"

"H-Huh?!" I said, confused, "W-What?!"

"JUST HURRY UP AND USE IT!" I heard someone scream, "YOU'RE SO FUCKING SLOW!"

"Hurry, good sir!" I heard another said, "Use the circle, now!"

"B-But how?!" I asked, "I don't know how!"

"JUST FUCKING DO IT!" I heard the same girl scream, "USE THE DAMN CIRCLE!"

"Don't worry about how to use it!" said President Tohsaka, "Just use the circle! We'll buy time!"

"B-But-"

"Just do it!" said President Tohsaka, before she went off to fight the woman.

I was still in complete shock as to what was going on as I stayed where I was before I snapped myself back and turned to the circle.

"Okay, okay, okay." I thought, "Okay, uh…w-what do…what do I...what do I do?! What on earth do I do?!"

I tried to figure out what to do to try to use the damn circle, only for me to find nothing I could do. I kept searching and searching, but…I found nothing! Dammit, I don't know what to do! What am I supposed to do?!

I grew so completely frustrated that I screamed out loud and slammed both of my hands on the circle in complete anger. But then, suddenly, the markings on my left hand began to glow bright red, and the circle suddenly started to instantly glow with bright light out of reaction to my markings.

"What the…?" I said, confused, "W-Wha…what's happening?!"

Then, I began to hear the voices, the same voices from my dreams.

"It is time." That one voice said, "Your time…has come."

The voices…

"You have been chosen." another voice said, "You are the final one."

"You are the final key." a third voice said, "You have now…become a Master."

"A…Master?" I said, confused.

"Yes." the voices said to me.

"Now, chosen one," said the first voice, "Place your hand…with the Command Seals…onto the summoning circle…and summon your Servant."

"M-My hand…?" I said, looking at my left hand, "With a…Command Seals…? This…? And…summon…Servant…?" I then looked at the glowing circle as it continued to glow brightly, before I brought my left hand out to reach for it as I asked, "L-Like this…?"

Then, suddenly, out of reaction to what I did, the circle began to glow even brighter than before, blinding me from seeing what was happening, before I then felt a strong wind blowing out of nowhere, so strong that it was pushing me back. Then, something inside of me was reacting to that light…to the summoning. I didn't know what, but…it felt like it was pulling me towards it. It wasn't painful, but…it was strong.

"AAAAAUUUGGGHHH!" I screamed, from the blindness and the strong gust of wind, "W-W-WHAT'S HAPPENING?!"

And then, a powerful force of power pushed me away, knocking me down to the ground. As the light died down and the strange wind stopped blowing, I got myself back up and looked to see what happened, and…to my shock, there was someone standing in the circle, but I couldn't tell who it was because of the smoke around and the silhouette of the person. Then, the smoke cleared out, revealing to me who it was, and…to my shock, it was a woman, and not just any woman. She was…a knight. The female knight turned to look at me, giving a better view of what she looked like.

The woman had blonde hair with the back that is tied together into a bun with a braid and a blue ribbon with a strain of hair sticking out and green eyes and appears to be about 5'1" tall. She wore a blue dress with a long skirt and wore silver shining armor, one on her chest with blue markings, two on her sides of her waist that also match with her skirt, two that were her boots, and two that were her armor gloves, both of them different from the other.

As I continued to look at her, I was…amazed by her. It was…unbelievable. She looks…almost just like Lily.

The woman then spoke to me, "I ask of you…are you the one worthy…to be my Master?"

"W-Wha…?" I said, confused, "Y-Your…Master?"

"I am your Servant, Saber." The woman, now named Saber, introduced herself, "I have come in response to your summons. Your orders, Master?"

"I-I…" I said, "I…I don't…know what's going on…I don't really know any of what's happening right now…but…"

I turned to see the blonde woman, after taking out the others, approaching President Tohsaka, claws ready to finish her off. I then turned back to Saber and said, "These people, I think…no, they're the ones who saved me, and they need help now! I owe these people, so please, if you could…please help them!"

Saber looked at me for a moment, before she nodded and said to me, "Understood, Master." She then turned to where the woman was, before she said, "Henceforth, my sword will be at your side." She then drew out something, like a sword…but…it was…invisible? I couldn't really tell what it is, as the only thing I could make out what it is was blue magical air, before she added, "Your fate is now my fate, and our pact is now sealed."

Then, with all her power, she went off and charged at an incredible speed, charging towards the woman about to finish off President Tohsaka.

Berserker's POV:

I looked down at the boss lady who was now on the ground struggling to get up, as all of her little friends were down and knocked out as well.

"Well," I smiled, "It's been fun and all, but I gotta end this, so…bye-bye~"

Then, without holding back, I lifted my claws up and went for a strike, as the boss lady closed her eyes, waiting for her end. But then…I heard a clang and felt something.

"H-Huh?!" I said, confused, "What?!"

What stopped my attack was, to my shock, another Servant, holding onto something invisible, blocking my attack. Wait…no way. The way she's holding her weapon…which means…

The Servant then let out a yell as she pushed to knock my arm back and went for a swing, which I dodged and backed away from, before I landed farther away from her.

"No way…!" I said, shocked, "A Saber?! But how-?! Huh?!"

I then saw the kid coming to the boss lady to help her and her friends up before I noticed something on his left hand. Wait…those markings…

"Ohh, I see." I smiled in realization, "I don't know how, but it seems the kid has become a Master."

Suddenly, Saber appeared in front of me and swung her invisible weapon at me, and a powerful force pushed me back as I was suddenly forced to cover myself from that.

"Hey!" I complained before suddenly I felt pain in my stomach. What?! I was injured?! Impossible!

"Berserker," said Saber, "I am your opponent. If you simply stand there and do not come to me, then I will come to you." Saber then got into a stance and demanded, "So, come, face me."

"GRRR…!" I growled, "Okay, now I'm mad!"

We both charged at each other and began to clash against each other with our weapons, trying to exchange blows against one another. We then began to clash against each other's weapon multiple times, faster than the eye could see.

Yuzuru's POV:

I lifted President Tohsaka up on her feet as I carried her somewhere safe. I then placed her near a nearby tree where her friends were and asked out of concern, "Hey, are you alright?!"

President Tohsaka took a breather for a moment before she calmly smiled and said, "Yes, I'm fine."

"Oh, okay." I said, relieved, "That's good."

"But, more importantly," she said, "You did it. You summoned Saber."

"Huh?" I said, "Oh, yeah…I guess, I did? I honestly don't know what's going on right now."

"We will explain later, Shindou-sama." said Aimi, as she came over, "But for now, watch over the fight. Do not worry, we can treat ourselves."

"O-Oh, okay." I said.

"And do not worry." said President Tohsaka, stopping me for a minute, "We promise to answer all of your questions."

I nodded to her before I went to watch what was happening between Saber and the woman called Berserker. As I watched their fight, I was amazed by what was happening.

Saber and Berserker were clashing their attacks against one another at an incredible speed, it was so fast that I couldn't even keep up with what they were doing. However, despite that, I could already tell that Saber had the advantage because of her invisible weapon. Saber then pushed Berserker away with a powerful swing of her weapon, sending her back, before Saber charged up at her, did a twirl of her body, and went for a strike from above. Berserker managed to block her attack, but the powerful force that Saber had made from her strike created a crater underneath Berserker, and it was causing Berserker to struggle before she pushed Saber away, creating a distance from each other. Berserker then charged at Saber with her claws ready, as she tries to get a hit on Saber, but Saber managed to block all of Berserker's attacks with her invisible weapon and unpredictable speed. Saber then kicked Berserker in the stomach, pushing her away.

"Aww, jeez!" Berserker whined, "What kind of Saber uses an invisible weapon to fight?!"

"What's wrong, Berserker?" said Saber, "Do you plan to just stand there and give yourself and all those with raw power a bad name? If you do not come to me, I shall go to you."

Berserker sighed and said, "Well, before you do, let me ask you something. That invisible weapon of yours…is your sword really a Noble Phantasm?"

Saber smirked and said as she brought her weapon close to her, "Who knows? Perhaps, perhaps not. It may be a battle axe or a polearm, or it might even be a bow, or even a lance. However, unfortunately for you, you'll be finished here before you even find out what it is."

Berserker laughed at what Saber had said and said, "You're really funny, swordswoman!"

Berserker was about to attack Saber again, but then suddenly, she stopped for some reason. She then turned around and said…to nobody? "Ehh~?! Seriously~?! You want me back now~?! I can't believe this~!" Berserker then sighed in frustration, before she smiled whimsically at us and said, "Sorry~! My stupid Masters are calling me back to them now~! I'm afraid we're gonna have to call this fight on hold for today~!"

"Huh?" I said, confused.

"Wait!" said Saber, sternly, "So, you're running away, now?!"

Berserker turned around away from us and said, "Sorry~ But, I've been ordered to~ If you'd like to come with, you can~ But if you do…" she turned her head towards us, revealing her glowing red eyes and said darkly, "…then you'll better prepare to die."

Berserker then jumped up high and began to disappear into blue dust until she was gone.

"Wait!" Saber shouted, but was already too late, "Damn, she got away…"

Saber then turned to me as I came over to her and asked out of concern, "Hey, uh…are you okay? Uh…Mrs. um…"

"Saber." she said, "You can call me Saber, Master. And yes, I'm alright."

"Oh, okay." I said, "Well, anyway, that was amazing! How'd you do that?!"

"As you can see, Master, I am a Saber-Class Servant." said Saber, "I am a Servant that is here to battle alongside you in the Holy Grail War."

"Uh…what?" I said, confused, "I'm sorry, Master? Servant? Holy Grail?"

Saber sees my confusion and said, "You seem confused about what I'm saying, Master."

"Oh, well, sorry." I said, apologetically, "It's just…I have absolutely no idea what on earth is going on."

"I see." said Saber, "I understand your confusion. Perhaps an explanation for you could do you good?"

"Uh…yeah." I said, "I really wanna know what's going on."

"And I will answer all of your questions." I heard someone said.

I turned around to see President Tohsaka and her friends, as well as the man in a red hood, coming towards us. President Tohsaka then stepped up and said, "Hello again, Yuzuru Shindou, final Master of the Grail War, allow me to properly introduce myself. I am Mirai Tohsaka, heiress to the House of the Tohsaka family, and I…am a mage."
