[A/N] - New chapter successfully delivered! Took me long enough I know but blame the school, not me.
Once again I apologize if I had written something wrong about the fight as I am not familiar with specific attacks and its been quite some time since I last saw the anime or read the mange.
Also, I don't know any of the characters (too bad), only my OC and I ask for your forgiveness if I wrote one of the servants out of character.
Shout out to the new commenter: jadasimone16
jadasimone16: Thank you for your comment and I will continue a good job, giving it everything I can.
So... first fight in this FSN/FZ book and I want your opinions in the comments. Did you like it? Hate it? Both? Along with what else you might you expect or want to see next. I would love to hear your ideas and make them a reality.
P.S. No more Grammar Mistakes ladies and gentlemen! I downloaded this app, called Grammarly and is a life savior. I recommend it to all those of you who write stories, are at school or use to type a lot on the pc for your work.
When Annasviel was exiting the office of the Main Mage, who was responsible for her family for many generations, she would never imagine that she would bump on no one else but her ally.
Julius was also surprised but of course, his stoic face gave away absolutely nothing. He was dressed in the same outfit as the day before since he didn't find the reason to change, but he had forced Gilgamesh to wear something more… modern and had left him outside of the building.
He greeted the shorter woman and both of them made their way towards the exit as their vesicles and their servants were waiting for them.
He wasn't surprised at all to find him invading Rider's personal space and getting on her nerves. They had a talk last night about his behavior and the king of heroes had exclaimed his fascination for the female legendary queen along with his desire to tame and bed her.
He could care less what he wanted to do but for now, he had to hold himself as their alliance was in the middle of his stupid hunt.
At least he was thankful he was listening to him and didn't force him to use any seals from the very first day. He even agreed to ware mortal clothes even though his outfit wasn't exactly the best.
He wore a white shirt and a leather black jacket, accompanied by snake pattern leather pants and black shoes. His blond hair was down on his face instead of the normal spiky style and the only gold about him was his earrings and a few rings he had.
"Everything alright Rider?", Annasviel asked as the two of them approached their servants.
"Everything aright master", Fenice replied not wanting to risk their alliance because of someone's cockiness; even though she didn't trust the male mage.
He will admit he was shocked that she lied to her master but Gilgamesh had said something about her soft side along with her pride. It was obvious that she didn't want to risk the alliance or ask for help to deal with Gilgamesh.
He was simply that lucky.
She pulled the helmet away from his grip and passed it down to the homunculus, her eyes going to the male master and Archer.
"Ok then. We will be going since we have job to do", Julius said as he lightened his cigarette and puffed some smoke.
"And we also have more jobs to do. We will stay in contact and keep an eye on the other masters", Annasviel said and he nodded before started to walk away from them.
Gilgamesh gave Fenice a flirty wink and kept his cocky smirk before following his master, hands in his pockets. He was a little disappointed that his play time was cut short but he knew that he would have plenty of chances to tame the fierce redhead.
The duo spent the rest of the day around London, window shopping, sightseeing and grabbing a bite. It was a nice way for Fenice to relax slightly and see many old castles and historic monuments from the time still preserved and admired by the people.
She would often comment or correct the signs that were summarizing its history along with saying stories and things that happened as she witnessed them herself.
As the sun was starting to set, the two women decided that it would be better to head back home. While they were passing by a small city, a strange aura caused Fenice to stop the motorcycle at the end of the road.
"A servant is close by and a master", Annasviel said.
"What do we do?"
"Let's go then. We will have to battle sooner or later"
"Understood master", Fenice said as she turned on the engine and entered the city.
It was an old-fashioned city/village with two storehouses made of rock and rock paved paths. Fenice killed the engine a few feet away from a stone square that was in the north suburb of the village.
They took off their helmets and walked towards where they felt the energy was coming from. On their way there, they had agreed to a plan and it was about time to put it into action.
Fenice jumped and landed on a branch of one of the trees with the leaves and the low lightning covering her. She kept her modern outfit for now but her right hand was ready to summon her scythe. Anna walked towards the center of the square where she was feeling the energy coming from, only to stop in front of a peculiar grey crystal. She picked it up and examined it as she felt the strong energy coming from it.
Her circuits came to life and by infusing mana to her legs she managed to jump back as Fenice appeared in front of her with a giant bronze based scythe with a silver blade and blocked an invisible weapon. She had changed back to her normal medieval leather attire which allowed her more easy movement and her red hair were loose and moving with every small movement of her body.
In front of her, stood a woman dressed in a sort of wardress with blond hair tied up in a high bun and beautiful green eyes. Her metal shoes echoed as she changed her footsteps to stabilize her body and add more pressure to her weapon, which Anna presumed was an invisible sword.
"You?", the two women exclaimed as the jumped back only to charge to one another once again.
"What are you doing here?", the blond woman hissed as she brought her sword up for an attack but Fenice blocked it by holding her scythe horizontally.
"I could ask you the same thing", the redhead said as she pushed with force and caused the blond to take a few steps back before their weapon clashed again.
Do they know each other? Anna wondered as the two women seemed to be a match for each other.
Their attacks fast, faster than Anna has ever seen. Fenice scythe was moving into a silver blur and sparks seemed to come from the invisible sword of the other woman. However, despite their speed, the two women seemed to be in a tie as their attacks were always blocked by each other.
"You know that this will take us nowhere", the blond hissed/whispered as she blocked a side attack.
"I know but it's not like we have a choice", Fenice replied as their weapons clashed once again, sparks flying everywhere as metal came in contact with metal.
Suddenly, small red balls were coming towards them and the two of them used their weapons and pushed each other away. Seconds later, those balls came in contact with the ground and a small explosion took place, which caused the two women to raise their hand and block the debris, dust, and smoke from going into their eyes.
"Saber! So good to see you again", a voice with an accent said as the two women looked at their right, only to see a man dressed in blue tights with a red spear on his right hand. His red eyes glowed under the light and his blue hair was tied into a low ponytail with a few bangs framing his face.
Servant and Master mentally agreed that the man was indeed handsome and deadly based on the aura he was giving away.
"Lancer?", Saber said as she slightly lowered her weapon.
So, Saber and Lancer huh? Anna thought and was about to ask her servant if she knew him also but decided not to interrupt her from the battle. Instead, she stood her ground, ready to defend herself if needed but she also made sure to stay a good distance away from the trio.
"Nice seeing you again and who is this beautiful redhead?", he asked as his eyes landed on Fenice and smirked.
"Someone. Not. Interested", she replied coldly as she raised her scythe and lowered her knees, ready to fight or flee.
"Battle born huh? I like that", Lancer said as he also got into position with his spear.
Fenice gave a side glance to Saber who also did the same. As the two of them could mentally communicate, they nodded before both of them charged at Lancer.
The spear man's eyes widen as he jumped back a second before the two weapons touch him but this was only the beginning. Saber and Rider charged again, their coordination almost perfect as they started to push Lancer back with their attacks.
"Hey! That's unfair!", the spearman whined as he blocked both of their attacks with his spear held horizontally but he knew he couldn't hold back the pressure from both of them for much longer.
"Life is unfair!", Fenice shouted as she brought her scythe down to swipe his legs while Saber aimed at his chest.
"Hey!", he shouted as he managed to backflip and give himself a good distance between him and the two maidens who had a smalls smirk on their faces.
"Two against one… You know that is not fair Saber, I am surprised you agreed to this"
"He is right. Stay out of this battle", She said to Fenice.
"What? No way Saber. You stay out of this battle. I will handle him"
"We have a past, we have left a battle in the middle of the last two wars. I need to finish it"
"Well, I didn't come all the way here just to see you fighting. I came here to take down a servant and he is on my list"
As the two women argued, Lancer took the chance to attack Saber, only to be surprised when Fenice appeared next to the blond and blocked the attack.
"Stay out of this!", the two women shouted and a mix of air and high heat caused Lancer to fly back but manage to land on his feet.
"You two know each other?", He asked as he leaned on his spear.
"No!", the two women replied after they looked at each other for a second.
"It seems to me that you do. Quite good I would say"
Fenice glared at the spearsman while deciding if she should attack him or not.
Enough with his stupidity… Let them fight and kill the master, a female voice said inside Lancer's head.
You know that I don't attack masters. That is your job, the spearman replied back.
I don't care about your morals Cu Chullain! You will turn this master into ash, now!
Suddenly, Lancer was covered in a dark aura and greeted his teeth as he forcefully let his spear dematerialize only to raise his finger and write a rune in the middle of the air.
Fenice raised an eyebrow but the moment he saw to who Lancer was looking to, her eyes widen. Her master was in grave danger.
Lancer finished the rune and a massive fire wave appeared and headed towards the white-haired girl.
