***Warning: Short chapter today!***
Yo, sorry for taking a while for Chapter 3 guys! I got busy with exams, then my family had to move to a new house so I wasn't able to use my laptop as much. I felt bad for not having anything up so I pushed myself to at least have Saber's part. For Saber, after a long, careful decision, I finally chose someone who fits the bill, and from an anime I am familiar with.
The rest of the AN will be at the bottom so hope you enjoy this (regrettably) short chapter.
(I will probably edit this chappy again after posting it, much like the others. So if you want, you can come back later to see if I added anything new. Though it's probably not too obvious.)
Disclaimer: I do not own anything but this fanfic. I should not have to keep repeating myself.
(Fuyuki Airport)
"Ah, so this is the city where Kiritsugu grew up." Irisviel commented excitedly as she stepped out of the airplane and onto the metal steps that led to the runway. The white haired homunculus marveled at the grand city before her. To think that this is where the Holy Grail War is taking place.
"This is certainly quite a view. But I do not think that this rivals my home Lugnica." She heard the servant Saber speak up from behind her.
The summoning of Saber did not go as expected. Much to Irisviel's, initial confusion. At first it was a bit disappointing to Kiritsugu, considering that they did not get King Arthur despite the fact that they had used a relic of Avalon for the summoning. But after Kiritsugu had taken a look at his stats…
It was insane. There was no other word for it. Not only did he have more than one noble phantasm but one of them was ranked EX? And the grades of all of his personal skills reached no lower than a B? For him to be summoned, it was almost like the Grail wanted them to win.
When Irisviel turned to look at him again, she felt her cheeks flush pink.
Saber was undoubtedly a very handsome young man. He was tall and slim, but possessed a sort of elegance in the way he carried himself. His cherry red hair came in soft tufts that reached his ears, and his eyes were a clear and piercing blue. Saber donned a black and white tuxedo for the purposes of blending in, but that just made him look even more attractive.
When he was first summoned, he was wearing a white uniform and had a sheathed sword by his side. The sword in question was a majestic one-handed blade with an intricately designed golden handle. Saber had explained to them that the sword was one of his Noble Phantasms, but it's drawback was that he is unable to draw it on just anyone. Special conditions had to be met first.
That was all they got for Saber's identity, but it did not matter at the moment. For now, there is a city to tour.
(Elsewhere)
On the other side of the city, a purple eyed youth casually browsed the snack food section of a local grocery store. He currently ditched his coat and boots and de-materialized his wings, while opted to wear something more commonplace among Japanese teenagers.
Caster picked up a box of pocky, staring at it longingly. It really sucked that he had no money to buy anything. Sure, he could just hypnotize the cashier, but he would rather not waste his already limited magic reserves.
Before he had left that house of horrors, he made sure to call the proper authorities in order for them to take the traumatized child into custody. He didn't stick around to see what happens afterward, but he did use some magic on the arriving officers just so they would have good judgement in choosing a new family for a boy later on, before casting invisibility on himself and slipped out of the house.
Caster scratched his head in frustration. He really needed to find another source if he was going to fight the other servants.
He then recalled seeing an ad about a new scary movie showing in theatres. The amount of negative energy from the viewers could give him more than enough magic power. If he could just make it in time and find a way inside…
He bolted out of the store so fast that he stupidly failed to realize that an another servant was watching him the whole time.
(Meanwhile, Same place)
From across the street, a white-haired young man watched Caster as he ran on the sidewalk. His grey irises piqued in interest. He could smell the other male from where he was standing... An inhuman scent. Who knew that a simple patrol ordered by his Master would he encounter something like this.
The Holy Grail War is going to be interesting indeed. He thought, cracking his fingers in anticipation. I can't wait to get started.
Now that the reveals of all the servants are finally, finally complete, I can start of the iconic battle of the docks! So please stay tuned.
*Can you guess who Saber is? I already kinda gave him away :)*
*Archer will appear again next chapter I swear.*
*I tacked on those last two parts last minute. Can you tell lol*
