Lucius-Fortress Millennia Just after the 'talk' between Saber and Gordes

As I walk the halls and I realize I have no idea where I'm going. Well there are two trains of thoughts I can fallow. The first is to ask one of the homunculus or my second option is just pick a random door. Well I'm mad and want to quell this anger so let me be stubborn. I take a right into a random door to find it a stone staircase deeper in the ground. I have a bad feeling about this staircase.

My mind wonders on should I continue or head back into the hallway away from this room. Curiosity did kill the cat, but I am a human not a cat. As my mind continued to debate, I hear an odd moan followed by someone saying so innocent. In a quick flash I was on the other side of the door with my back to the door. I have been in wars and fought the sword of promised victory and what I just heard with the image going in my mind what was happening I am now terrified for the third time in my life.

I counited question my life as I feel the door behind me open as someone ran into me. Oh god please don't be that voice from the staircase! I turn in fear but see….Astolfo? oh no. I think now I want to die if his….Mamamamaster was the. My mind didn't dear continue with the thought as Astolfo looks at me with a smile. Is that paladin have no sad bone in his body? The paladin smiles at me and says "Hey Lucius. Ops I mean Saber." A soft smile adorns my face at the infections joy that comes off the hero. I still can't believe he followed my 'usurper' or one of the last Roman Emperors of the world. Still my title of Last Roman emperor is still here.

I am taken out of my thoughts when Astolfo asks "What are you doing out of here Saber?" I clench my fist as the fresh memory of that man commanding me to be his doll for whatever wish he may have. I say trying to hide my anger "I had a very unpleasant talk with my Master. He wanted to talk about am idea he had but I disagreed but decide to not have a useless argument with him." As I continue to try to hold my anger back Rider says with understanding "He made you mad. I can see it in your eyes Luoluo. My Master is on the weird side and makes me creeped out all the time I'm near her. So why don't we get Fran and Chiron to take a trip to the nearby town. Let's see part of your people's descendants in the modern world. Come on."

The Rider runs off to go get the other Servants as I stand there shocked at how Astolfo read me like a book. What an odd man but I think he is probably the most heroic spirt of the black faction. Well let's see this town nearby.


Trifas

After Astolfo got Archer and Fran to go with Lucius to the town of Trifas the main problem was clothes, so they took some by asking the homunculus to get some. Fran got a white button up shirt with a black vest and tie. She has a long black skirt that looks like frills of a dress with black leggings and boots. She can't make the gold coils on the side of her head go away but only the horn. Chiron said they can pass it off as some weird head accessories.

Chiron is wearing similar clothes to Fran but has black pants for his legs than a dress. His tail could not be hidden but they had the same answer they made for Frans. Chiron also decide to get a watch to help keep a time when the group was out.

The other wore something similar but Astolfo yelled out that he wanted to get some new clothes when they enter the city. As they got there, he dragged Lucius to the nearest clothes store as a certain knight from the round table was in the same store. Mordred was trying to find some clothes that she wanted as Astolfo rushed into the store with a deadpan Lucius who hating this decision he has made. As Astolfo collected clothes Fran went to a nearby flower stand looking at all the flowers the middle age women that runs it. Chiron was at a bookstore than was next to the clothes to look for another book to read.

As Lucius got his bearings, he looks at some of the clothes in his size and finds some red and black flannel than piques his interest as Astolfo was a speeding blur in the city. Mordred went out of the changing room as her Master was paying the shop keep for the clothes and her eyes land on the back of the last Roman Emperor and gets a flash of an old memory of a person that she can't remember the face of but only his red hair. She shakes the thought out of her head as she heads to her lion like Master.

An hour goes by as a newly clothed Lucius is waiting with Fran and Chiron at a restaurant serving Italian food in an outside table. He is wearing a button up flannel red jacket that has the sleeves a little rolled up with a white shirt under it and blue jeans with black boots. The Saber was eating a very large meal of different foods while Fran was holding many different flowers in her hands looking at them with a smile on her face. Chiron was reading the Iliad to find out what happen with his apprentice Achilles. They were waiting for the odd Rider to finish shopping for clothes. Lucius looks at what the centaur was reading and asks after he swallowed his fifth plate of food "Are you trying to find out what happen to your pupil?" Chiron's emerald eyes go to the Emperor and says "Yes. I know what happened by just thinking about him and the throne can give me the answer, but I want to read the full war through literature than input knowledge. Also, I enjoy this way more. I loved learning new things in my way than just be given to me in my head."

Lucius gives a smirk as he says "Well you are known as the wises Centaur of all. If you were alive in my time, I would have tried to find you so I can have you as my advisor." A smile appears on the teachers face as he shuts his book and says "That may have upset your church for sure. A man who was born from goddess and titan from a different religion be given that honor would have made them kill you for that."

A look of anger fills the Sabers eyes at the mention of the church, but he laughs to clam himself and says with joy "I would do it to spit them. Trust me when I say me, and the Church don't get along well. A bunch of corrupt people claim to be a man of god makes me angry. If I had my way, I would have punished every single one of them for the sins they made on my people. But that's in the past." The fork he was holding has been broken and he breathes to claim down.

Fran grunts to get Lucius's attention as he turns to see the Victorian girl holding up a lily to him. A soft smile creeps up the roman's face as he accepts the flower and thanks her. A happy grunt is given by Fran as she goes back to looking at the flowers she purchased with Clause's money. The Saber was looking at the lily with a gentle smile as he remembers a happy memory. He looks up from his table to see the town as he enjoys the quiet town. His eyes fall on a treacheries Knight and a static memory of his fight with all the versions of Artur (the male, female, alter sabers with the lancer versions of her. He has five memories of his last fight. It's odd for him). Also, another more clouded memory appears in his head of this little girl and her mother.


Lucius

What why is? There is no way that-. I'm pulled out of my thoughts as I hear "Did you miss me guys?" I turn to see Rider in his new clothes. (you all know what he is wearing) Well it seems he knows he looks like a girl. Still I bet a lot of people are confused of his gender. Rider sits down as he says, "Well I'm so glade that shop keep let me walk out the door with these clothes for free." I had to pay for them your odd man. Chiron smiles at the Rider as he reads his book again. I look back to where I saw her, and she was gone. I may have imagined it, but I was so real. I just shake my head as I hear Chiron say, "We have an hour till I suggest we try and make it back to the castle." I nod and see a twinkle in Astolfo's eyes. Oh god I have a bad feeling about this. He says, "I got an idea."


A bike shop in Trifas

The Servants of black are outside a bike shop with Astolfo yelling out "Here is my idea. We get a four-person bike that I saw on the way from the clothes store to ride back to the castle. So, what do you think?" Fran had a uninterested look but Chiron had an amused look on his face as he says "Well I believe we should try it. When will there be another time, we are alive and get to experience so much of the modern world?" Lucius had a twinkle in his eyes as he says while using a joyful tone "We must do this. This will be an amazing moment. As one of my predecessors says you have to live in the moment." Astolfo asks with curiosity "Who said that Luc-I mean Saber?" The Roman turns to the Frenchman and say while replicating a certain red Sabers pose "Well Rome it's self the grand Nero. She is a great ruler and Rome itself." Astolfo laughs at the joyful Lucius as Chiron was feeling his pockets and asks "Do any of you still have money? I believe I gave the rest of my money to help pay for the meal. What about you Berserker?"

The Monster of Victor points at her big bouquet of many flowers with a grunt as her single he payed all her money to them. Astolfo sighs in defeat as he says, "I knew letting Saber tip the waiter was the wrong choice." An affined look falls the Saber as he gestures to himself "He gave me a meal that was a grand feast and I believed he should have been tipped in a most grand way Astolfo." Chiron says with a worried look "You tipped in with six hundred leu and the meal was only two hundred leu. I think that was more than generous tip Saber. Also, how will we pay for the bicycle?" The Emperor thinks it over as his eyes land on the flowers Fran was holding and a smile adorns his face and says with now real joy "My dear Advisor I have an amazing plan. Berserker I will call you eve. Do you like the name?" The Saber gets his answer with a nod as a soft smile is shown on her face. Lucius says, "Then Eve I will need one of your flowers as payment for the bicycle."

Fran looks at her flowers and hand him a rare blue rose that grows near the town of Trifas (I don't know if that flower exists or if it grows there, I am only using the flowers as a representation of some idea or theme with them). The Saber nods as he goes into the store. As he enters Chiron looks with shock of the man's plan as Astolfo asks "How much you believe he will succeed?" Chiron says, "Well he did fight an army of Hindu demons and won so my faith in him is high." As they talked the flannel clothed Saber opens the doors with the four-person bicycle and a smile of victory. He yells "I got the bike my dear amici."


The Headquarters of the faction of Red

A crow watched as the Servants of Black ride a four-person bike to Fortress Millennia which was the Assassin of Black familiar whose name is Semiramis. She was watching them from the church the red faction was using as a base with her Master Shirou Kotomine. The Servant is a beautiful woman with dark midnight dress with an aroma that was pleasing. She had long black hair and soft yellow eyes that has thin pupils like a snake. The Master was dressed up as a priest who has tanned skin with golden ageless eyes. He holds a kind face but has a darker nature hiding under. Shirou asks her "So have they left?" Assassin nods and says "I also found Ruler. She will be nearby by dark. Who should we bring to deal with her?" Shirou says "Let's bring Lancer. We can't take any chances with any other Servant of Red or they may have a hard time. So, lets give her our best shoot to kill her. It seems this war will get interesting. I could try to recruit someone from the Black Faction to help with the spot Saber left in our little team." A smile falls the fool saint as the first battle draws near.


Fortress Millennia-Lucius

After we got back to the castle, we went our separate ways as I went to go the library to read the story called The Mists of Avalon which I would like to know. I wonder if Morgen was an actual nice person or was, she a crazy woman. Well I'm going to bet it's the crazy option since she does have a son that killed my favorite candidate for being my leader of my knights if I won or queen. I still can't remember if I fought the girl or the guy or both. Still confusing but hey I don't care. As I read my book, I start to go outside to a nice flower patch that has a tree for some shade.

My mind wonders as I feel something nudges my leg. I close my book to see an odd-looking white fur squirrel thing. The cute little thing looks at me and says "fou!" What in the word is this creature? I start to pet this thing as he keeps saying the word fou. I say "You sure love saying fou. You sure are an excited creature."

As I was petting the creature, I'm naming fou, I hear that man voice call for me 'Saber Lord Darnic calls for your presence. Be there in a few minutes.' Great that terrible man has called for me. I say "Well it seems I need to go now Fou. I hope you have a happy journey little creature." As I turn away, I feel something jump on my shoulder. It's the little fou creature has decided to join me in my little walk. I play with the little creature as I make my way to the room I was summoned in only yesterday.

I open the doors to the room to see my Master with Darnic who is pouring a glass for Lancer as he sits on his throne. Always the little servant when you need it snake. I know I don't have a reason to hate the man but my heart tells me to not trust that man at all. Gordes looks like he was waiting impatiently and yells "You need to be more diligent Saber or else-!" The fool of a man is cut off as Lancer says with no interest in hearing my Master ramble on "We have visual of Ruler near the town of Trifas. We want you and Gordes to try and make contact with her." Then that will take a long time since I bet my Master's pride will not let him be carried at all. So I ask "Do you have a transport for me and my Master to get there soon?" Darnic finally turns to me and says "We have a motor cycle with a side car to help you get there faster than poor Gordes can run." Seems Darnic is not the most fond of my Master at all. I can see my Master is trying to hlod his anger and embarrassment.

I wonder how much of that will disappear during the first fight I have. I nod to the head of Yggdmillennia as I turn to head to the garage. I'm glade I took a tour of this place last night. As I walk I hear Gordes rush to get in front of me. My oh my. What a stupid superiority complex you have my Master. As we walk I see Claus walk out of a room and an idea pops up in my head. I ask "Claus can you do me a favor?" The weak magus turns to me and I say "Take care of Fou for me. He should not be in a battle. Here you go thank you for accepting the task dear Claus." I then hand him my new companion and rush off so he can not object as I rush to the cycle.


The road to Ruler

A motorcycle is seen on a empty road from the castle that has Saber driving the bike with Gordes hanging on for dear life in a side car. The bike is zipping past many fields as the sun starts to set. Saber was driving the bike like a pro to his B rank in Riding. Gorde tries to yell at Saber but he is having a jolly good time riding the bike.


Ruler and Lancer of Red's firs encounter

On a lone road Ruler is in full armor looking at the pale Lancer who is standing on a street sign. The Lancer has white hair and a far face with green eyes. He has an golden armor with a red fur around his neck floating near the armor.

Ruler says "Lancer of Red, son of Surya the Sun God. You must be Karna." As Ruler was saying this the now named half god stops walking and says "Oh." Ruler counties to say "I am the arbitrator of the Holy Grail War Joan D'Arc. Do you understand the meaning behind bearing your fangs at me?" Lancer retorts as he says with no emotions with a superior voice "It is unwise of you to ask me something you already know the answer. It should be obvious my presence is a declaration of war." This news shocked the saint but counted to ask, "What is your purposes for wanting to dispose of me?" The warrior counties with no emotion as he says "I have no idea. My Master commanded me as per our contract I simply act as instructed." His golden spear burst with white and red flames as Ruler goes into a fighting pose with her flag and he says "Let us proceed considering your special privileges I have no need to hold back. One attack as tribute-." The Indian warrior is cut off by the roar of what they hear is a lion and the two turn to look what was making the noise.

"We Master it seems it's your time to get off now. Have a safe landing." Saber said this as he uses his gloved hands to break the piece of the side car and flings it towards a filed of flowers. As the magus was thrown, he landed in an irregularly soft field that broke his fall. The Saber of Black then sticks his leg out to slow it down. The road breaks where his leg is as he does a side stop only a few feet away from Ruler. He says "It seems my competitors are not fallowing the rules. Well since I'm a good sport I'll step in to stop this. You alright Master?" The Saber turns to see an out of breath Gordes. Lancer stops the flames and asks, "You must be Saber of Black?" Saber looks at him and the look in his eyes completely changes from joy to serious in a moment. The Roman nods as Lancer counties to talk "Well then that can only mean your objective is also Ruler." The Saber doesn't talk at all as his instincts told him to take this seriously.

Gordes finally catches his breath and says to the Holy maiden "That was a close one Ruler. I have come here to welcome you." He does a slight bow as the simple farm girl is a little confused and says, "I believe your Saber of Blacks Master." The homunculus maker says with a smile "You are correct. I am Gordes Musik Yggdmillennia. It is a pleasure to meet you." A now evil look fills his eyes as he turns to Lancer of Red and points as he yells "Now then! Lancer of Red! We have arrived here just in time to clearly witness your attempt to murder Ruler! Plotting to eliminate the arbitrator of the Holy Grail War is a direct violation of the rules.!"

As the man yells the two Servants don't but Karna says as a response "I don't deny it. Of course, now that the Black Faction is here, I must deal with you two." Gordes has a smile of victory but Saber says before the man could talk "It seems it will be me vs you Lancer of Red. I don't believe Ruler will help us since she is a neutral party and we are not breaking the rules. Am I right Ruler?" Jeanna nods and says "He is right I can not help in this fight. I sorry good sure but Saber must fight on his own."

Gordes was going to rebuke but the two heroes decided to both attack they were in a struggle as they both had their weapons trying to overpower the other. Karna says "It seems we have the same thought Saber. Your eyes resemble a man I fought who was a great hero. To have similar strength in them you must be a great hero. This battle was chosen by fate for us to fight. My name is Karna son of the sun god. You have proven you don't fear my name." the white red flames appear once again. A smirk appears on Saber's face and says "Seems we think the same in that regrade two. I was going to say the same to you. Well let's do our best my new rival. I am the last Roman Emperor and the man who is the equal to King Arthur himself. My name is Lucius Tiberius" Dark red flames surrounds the now named Saber as the two start the first fight of the War.


Lucius

Are fight leads to the open fields as I send a fire slash at Karna as he goes to close the distance between us. Before he takes one foot, he sees his heel is tied us in thick flowery veins as the blast makes a direct hit. That the twenty hit I land and still no damage. I feel blood drip from my check as it heals from one of my abilities, but Karna has stressed it out a lot. As the smoke covers, I see Lancer fast approaching me with a fist that connects with my face. Time to fight with kicks. As I go flying the flowers under me make a higher ground so I can dash back to him with a flying kick that lands on his chest.

The half god gets pushed backed some feat as I try to catch my breath. He really is giving me a hell of a fight. Wait if he has armor than it protects attacks from the outside I could. Dodge! I jump to the side a Karna shoots some fiery object at me. Crap that was close. Well no time like now. I throw my blade to the ground as I disappears in the ground making a pair of flowers appear.


Jeanna

I watch the two heroes fight and I can tell by the similarities between the two. There is also different in their own ways. I notice where Lucius is there is a lush field with flowers and grass, but Karna is near a barren burned covered land. Saber's sword disappears in the ground. What is he-.

My thought is interrupted by a grunt of pain from Karna as I see…..Sabers sword coming out of him to Saber! Karna coughs up blood but quickly recovers. Karna says "It seems you learn a way to get pass my armor Saber. We have been fighting for hours and I can tell you are a master of the blade. A true Saber." Saber nods and says "Your no easy fight as well Karna. You got me a few good times back there. Well shall we have round two." Karna nods as the two get ready to attack but stops to look towards the rising sun.

He says, "It seems my Master doesn't want us to continue this battle all the way till the next sun rise and I have no problem, but it seems your Master has other ideas." Lucius looks back to us as he relaxes and says "My new goal in this war is that we will fight again till we are both satisfied with it. So, I promise on my name to fight you once more Karna. I deem you my rival so I must battle you once more." Lancer nods and says "I promise the same Saber of Black. Goodbye." I yell out "Lancer of red don't leave yet!" But the man disappears. Well I should congratulate Saber. I say while walking to the Roman "That was a marvelous fight. One that fits the wielder of Florent the blade that proves your right to rule over the people."

He turns to me and says, "Thank you sweet Holy maiden." I blush by his comment. I would have thought he hate me since he hates my religion so much, but he says "I should be going now Ruler. It was a pleasure to meet a pure person like you to a god that deserves your faith. I hope to meet you and have a more pleasant encounter with you Ruler. Let's go Master." Saber walks as his Master yells at him some more but I can tell by his face no amount of anger from his Master can take away his excitement for his future battle with Lancer of Red.
