Thank you for all your supports. For any of you who want ship the Servants and Ultraman Orb. I was planning about that as well.
And I do know that Orb is pretty OP but his true power only use for enemy Kaju and Ultras, and his body still needs time to fully accept the light back so don't worry much about that.
For anyone who request for rewritten, I will try but please remember that rewriteen will not happen any time soon.
Anyway, hope readers enjoy this chapter.

Chapter 2: Fuyuki City II
Previously on Fate: The Sunset Wanderer
Everyone was shocked, Mash almost drop her shield while Marie just couldn't stand up anymore. Caster whistle with awe while mutter one word "Damn."
Golza roar at his new opponent while mysterious giant just stands there for a few seconds.
After that, the giant immediately switch to his battle stance as his voice boom through the air like a speaker:
"I am Orb! I light the darkness and strike at evil!"
Somewhere in Fuyuki- near Fuyuki Bridge
"I-Is that … F-Fujimaru?" Marie stammered while trying to stand up from her shaking legs.
"Senpai" Mash muttered as she looks at the giant with awe.
"Look like he doesn't tell you guys anything about himself, eh?" Caster glance at both girls with a sarcastic smirk.
After standing up, the Director clenched her fist tight while glare at the giant "You got a lot of explaining to do, Fujimaru!" the white hair women could feel her anger boil inside, not because of the monster or Ultraman but because of the secret that Ritsuka hides from her and Mash.
Meanwhile, Ultraman Orb quickly switches to his battle stance and both combatants stare at each other for a few seconds before Golza shoot another Ultrasonic Beam at the giant. Fortunately, Gai quickly rolls the left side, avoid the attack.
Without any hesitation, the silver giant ran straight at the monster. Before Golza could react, Orb rapidly deliver multiple punches to the beast chest and abdomen and end with a kick that push Golza back a few meters. Creature roar in anger before charge at the silver giant.
Orb use both hands to grab the beast head and with all his strength, pin the creature down. However, Golza show no sign of being stop by the silver giant. As the creature push the giant a dozen meters back, the silver alien quickly deliver a powerful knee in the monster abdomen, stagger it. Seize this chance, Orb rapidly release barrage of punches in to Golza chest, send it back a few meters.
Golza roar in anger before shot out another ray at the giant. Fortunately, Orb quickly roll to the right side, dodge the attack. Seeing so, the beast shot out another ray at the silver giant, this time Orb wasn't expect which result in a direct head.
The beam send the giant hero into nearby blocks, leaving a short but massive trend. Golza roar again before charge at the Ultraman. The giant slowly stand up as he spot the monster is coming straight at him. With quick thinking, the giant summon a purple buzzsaw disc-like on his hand before threw it at the beast "Sperion Light Ring!" this force Golza to stop and fire another Ultrasonic Beam to neutralize the attack.
"Holy Shit! That's pretty cool!" Caster exclaim when he saw the buzzsaw projectile.
With a couple seconds of distraction, Orb dash at the monster before deliver a powerful chop to the creature head, then 3 consecutive punch to the chest, then 4 more to the abdomen, followed by an elbow to the face, then the giant knee the monster in the gut 2 time and finish with a roundhouse kick to it chest, which send the creature across the ground, leaving a trench and destroy most of the buildings around him.
Seize this moment, Orb raise left arm up as purple energy could be seen began to gather in front of him, form a giant circle "Time to end this, Sperion R-"
Suddenly, Orb kneel down and the energy gather around him quickly disperse. "Ding, Ding, Ding, Ding, ..." The ring on his chest is blinking with red light for some reason. If Orb could express his emotion right now, his face will be shocked. Everyone begin to wonder what happen.
"Why is that thing blinking?" Marie has a really bad feeling about the ring on Ritsuka chest.
"It seem the ring try to warn Senpai about something." the purple hair girl grip her shield tightly as she looks at Orb with worries.
"Look, I'm not an expert but I guess that ring is alerting about his strength" Caster rubbed his chin while narrow his eyes at the silver giant.
For Gai, he was confused and panic at the same time, he still has plenty of time to fight yet his Color Timer is warning about his power right now. In fact, the man could feel his power is slipping away from his body for some reason. Then the wanderer Ultras realize something
"Dammit! My power has not return fully yet!"
Suddenly, Golza now has stand up and let out a mighty roar. In the next moment, the creature starting to gather yellow energy around his neck. Everyone was looking with anxiety while Orb try to use all his power to stand up again.
Caster click in tongue in annoying as he could feel the amount of energy that Golza will release "Those energies! Just like that bastard Noble Phantasm."
This sentence caught the attention of Marie and Mash. Normally, Marie would demand for answer but right now she was too scared to do that anyway. For Mash, the girl swiftly raise her shield up to protect the Director from what may be happen.
In the next moment, a large and powerful yellow beam was shot out, the Empowered Ultrasonic Ray instant eradicate anything, from buildings to lamp posts to trash cans and even the cars, to mere ashes. Fortunately, Orb quickly activates Sperion Shield to protect himself from the blast.
However, the Director could feel the ground crack from the pressure of the attack as the ground began to shake violently again. Pebbles and rocks on the street smash into Mash shield while the white hair women try to hide behind the Demi-Servant. Many buildings nearby starting to crumble as smoke, bricks, stones and concretes fly everywhere. The white hair girl turn to Caster.
"Caster! Do something!" Marie yelled out
The blue hair Servant smirk while spins his staff before place the end of the staff on the ground "Yosh! I got this!"
This creates a giant blue circle in front of the trio, protect them from any projectiles which mostly are rocks and bricks.
After a short period of time, the attack stop and the smoke begin to disperse after a few seconds, reveal the silver giant. Orb has survived thanks to his bowl-shape barrier but the energy from the silver hero is in the critical level.
Golza roar again before charge at the giant again. Like a bull, Ultraman was drag across the ground, leaving a massive trench behind. After a few seconds, the silver giant use the last of his strength to deliver his knee to the monster face, stunt it.
The silver giant jumps up, deliver a chop on Golza left shoulder then another chop on the right shoulder, then follow by 6 rapid punches to the monster chest and end with an elbow on its face. The monster seems unfazed by the attack.
Before Ultraman could react, Golza quickly slash the giant chest with it right claws then it left and the actions repeat 5 more times. The silver giant grunt in pain from the damage but quickly block the next attack with his forearm before kick the creature left ribs. The kick stagger Golza a bit, give Orb a chance to strike back.
Without any hesitation, the silver giant performs a barrage of punches again, aiming for the monster abdomen and chest, include hooks, jabs, straight punch and end with a powerful spinning backfist with both fists. The combo attack pushes Golza a few meters back.
Make sure Golza will be down for sure, Orb hold the monster down by grab it back while trying to knee kick the creature in the guts multiples times. However, after a few knee kicks, Golza use his strength to break from the Ultraman grab, before try to slash the silver giant again.
The giant use his forearm block the attack again why deliver jab with his free arm, stun the monster again. Orb begin to deliver 8 rapid punches to Golza face then follow by another roundhouse kick and end with a wheel kick, which send the monster back a dozen meters with his back land on the ground.
However, Orb once again kneels down as the warning on his ring begin to blink faster "I need to end this soon!" the silver hero could now see Golza is ready again.
Without any waiting, Orb immediately shot out a Sperion Slash at Golza but much to everyone shocked, the monster instantly absorbs the attack into its chest. The creature roars out before release another Ultrasonic Beam at the silver giant.
Ultraman quickly jump up to dodge before land right behind Golza. Before the monster could turn around, Orb swiftly grab his tail and activate Power Type Strength. In the next moment, the red line on the giant body glow up for a few seconds before died down.
"What the hell is that?" Caster shout out in confusion when he saw the red lines glow.
"Caster! We need to get out of here!" Marie yelled back to the blue hair Servant before the trio makes a run to the bridge.
Back to our hero, Orb let out a grunt as he begin to spin Golza around with his newfound strength. The spin quickly create a powerful wind that destroy everything, from buildings to the streets around them. After a few spins, the silver giant threw the monster into a nearby building.
"Alright! Time to end this!" the giant raise his right hand up at 75 degree. In the next moment, the silver hero summon a Giant Sperion Light Ring and hurl the buzzsaw projectile at Golza. The purple buzzsaw swiftly carve through the ground, and destroy anything in it path.
"Such power ..." Mash look with admiration and surprise while still trying to follow Caster and Marie.
"Damn! I feel bad for that thing now!" Caster smirk. For Marie, she was too shocked to make a word.
The buzzsaw simply cut the monster into two like a hot knife through butter. Golza barely has time to react, the creature roar in pain before it entire body begin to disappear into the darkness.
Orb look at mess for a few seconds before his entire body begin to diffuse into light particles. Marie, Mash and Caster stop running and turn around. The trio were surprised to see the light quickly take shape of Ritsuka again. After turn back, the man kneel down while panting from exhaustion for a few seconds before look up to see everyone is staring at him.
"I guess I should give you guys some explanation." Fujimaru scratch the back of his head, chuckling nervously.
"That is an understatement." Marie huffed while crossing her arms.
Suddenly, Roman hologram appears next to Marie, much to everyone's surprise.
"Director! Are you alright! I have trying to contact you but something wrong with the-" the pink man overreaction cause everyone to gave him a deadpan look.
"Did I miss something?" Romani was baffled by everyone look.
30 minutes later
Fuyuki City- under Fuyuki Bridge
Near a public monument, that right under Fuyuki Bridge, 4 figures could be seen, include Mash, Ritsuka, Caster, Marie, Fou and not counting Doctor Roman hologram next to the Director. Caster has spend some good amounts of time to explain what he knew about the current circumstance.
"In short, you're Servants from the Holy Grail War that took place in this town, and the only survivors, yes?" the pink-hair man reconfirm what he just heard about Caster information.
"I didn't lose if that's what you mean." the man snorted while leaning on the steel rail.
"From what I see, the situation seems out of hand." Ritsuka put his hand under his chin with a serious look.
"You got that right, our Holy Grail War was switched with something else." the blue hair Servant shrugged.
"Switched?" Marie cocked an eyebrow.
Fujimaru opens his mouths again and gain everyone attentions "From what Caster said, there is an outside factor."
"Outside factor?" Mash confused ask.
Ritsuka eyes narrow as his voice turn grim"Yes, there is a powerful being that intervened the War and took the matter into his own hand."
At this point, Marie has lost her patient, the white hair women stand up while pointing at Ritsuka and exclaim "Stop beating around the bush and give us the answer! Dammit!"
"Please calm down Director." the purple hair girl said softly.
Ritsuka sigh before spoke, "Very well, from our previous observation and experience."
"Do you mean when you turn into that giant and fighting the monster?" Caster quickly interrupts with a serious look at Fujimaru as well.
Ritsuka stares back at Caster for a few seconds before replied: "Yes, I think this has to do with my species."
"Your species?" Marie baffled by the man strange answer.
"Senpai? That giant form is not a Noble Phantasm or magecraft?" Mash couldn't hide her curiosity anymore.
"I'm sorry, Mash. But that is one of my true form." Ritsuka turn to his kouhai that next to him with a kind look. Everyone was astonished by the man words, even Caster.
"True form? So this body is just a decoy?" Caster cocked an eyebrow while rubbing his chin.
Ritsuka let out a nervous smile "Not really, I was a human. Well, look like a human to be more exact."
At this moment, Romani decide to ask Fujimaru another question to answer everyone confusion "Ritsuka, can you tell us your story, if what you tell us is the truth, then we need to know what we are dealing with."
Fujimaru let out a sigh while rubbing his hand before answer "Very well, first, I'm a being from another world."
"Like the Throne of Hero?" the blue hair Servant asked with interest.
"Not quite, more like a separated, different universe." Fujimaru words once again caught everyone by surprise, even Caster.
"Impossible! The only one who can travel to different world is that old coot!" Marie exclaim with disbelief
Ritsuka crossed his arm as his face turn serious again "I'm sorry, director, what I tell you is all truths, the Ultras not only have technologies that far ahead most civilization but also diverse power that make this possible. In fact, I have travel to other universes before."
"Incredible, for many years, magus and Servants are the only one that can bend reality but a race that accomplish such achievements is beyond any human knowledge." Romani still has his eyes widened as sweats drop from his face with the amount of new knowledge he receive.
Shielder decides to make another question to her Senpai "..Um.. Senpai, do you mind if I ask this question?"
"Go ahead, Mash." the man kindly replied
Blush by Ritsuka kindness for a few seconds, the girl starts the question"Senpai, in your world, is there an earth there?"
The girl question quickly caught everyone interest again, even Caster could not hide his intriguing face about the idea of another earth with being like Ritsuka exists.
"I'm quite intrigued about that too, maybe you have a different name for earth in your world." Romani suggest with a smile.
Ritsuka let out his chuckle which baffled everyone before answer "Sorry to disappoint you, but there is an earth in my world and we still call earth."
"Interesting." Caster smirk
"However, in my earth, there are no Holy Grails or Servants or even Magecraft, human mostly, if not always, rely on technology to help them." Fujimaru point his finger up while explaining
"Hmph, in this earth, human have developed technology lead to the decrease of magecraft since the Age of God." Marie put her finger under her chin while take a sit at the nearby stairway.
Caster decide to press another important matter "What about that thing? Is that a common sight for people to see a monster?" the man points his staff over the mess that Orb just caused.
"Yes actually. Those monsters are called Kaiju and their origin is various. Some came from other worlds while some came from underground." the man said with a smile.
"Heh, and I thought the Holy Grail War is the strangest thing." the blue haired man let out a laugh while Mash giggle by Caster words and Marie feel really piss by Caster attitude but she will let it slide this time.
The white hair women turn her glare at Ritsuka before continue to ask the man "So Ritsuka, if that is your real name anyway. Do you mind to tell us more about yourself?"
"My real name or name that my friends call me is Gai Kurenai, but when I was born in this world, everyone calls me Ritsuka Fujimaru." Fujimaru gazes back at Marie.
"Born?" Mash was baffled by this word.
Ritsuka closes his eyes before continue spoke: "Yes, I was born in this world because the border between your world and my world is vastly different, this requires me a new body that can adapt to this universe."
"But didn't you said that you have traveled to different worlds before." Romani asked
Fujimaru nodded before explain "Yes, I did said that, but worlds I have met carry the same basic principles like my world. But in this universe, even at the fundamental level, everything is too distinct to be connect."
The purple hair girl uses all her courage to ask her Senpai another question "S-Senpai, are you human from where you from? You did say that you "look like a human "."
"Yeah! I want to know too!" Marie stand up from her spot while shouting out
Ritsuka gaze at Mash in the eyes for a few seconds before close his eyes and let out a sigh "Mash, I'm a warrior from the distant star."
"Distant star? So you mean space." the Director crossed her arms
"Yes, in technical terms." Fujimaru glance at Marie.
"So these "Ultras" are aliens." Caster decides to conclude the answer.
"Yes, again, in technical terms." Ritsuka glance at the Blue hair man
At this time, Romani eyes were filled with excitement as the man hasty try to ask the Ultraman another question "So G-Gai, I mean Ritsuka, are you an alien too?"
Ritsuka smile at Roman enthusiastic before answer "Yes, I'm a warrior that have traveled many planets to search for power, until I found this." the man pulls out his Orb Ring and show to everyone.
"What is that?" the white hair women cocked an eyebrow.
Fujimaru glance at his Ring Device before clarifying everyone curiosity "This is my transformation device called the Orb Ring, this help me access to Orb powers."
"Orb? Is that your device name?" Mash stare at the device with interested
"No. the silver giant form that you saw is a power I acquired and Orb is the name of him." the man answered.
"Him? Are you saying that the giant form is a separate being." Marie put her hand on her hip.
"He was, but now he and I are one, he is Gai Kurenai and I'm Ultraman Orb." Ritsuka looks at his Orb Ring for a few seconds before putting the device back to his belt.
"And your power is tied to these Ultras." Caster once again concludes the information.
"Correct. Child of Ireland." Fujimaru grin at the blue haired man.
Everyone, except Caster and Ritsuka, was shocked to her the term "Child of Ireland". Roman almost drop his jaws on the ground. The white hair women slowly turn her head with widened eyes to the blue hair Servant while the man just sighs from everyone reaction.
"W-What? Child of Ireland? Caster, are you-" Marie point at Caster while try to form a word.
"Yes, he is the Hound of Ulster, Cu Chulainn." Ritsuka nodded.
"But I thought Cu Chulainn weapon is Gae Bolg." Mash said while trying to calm herself.
Cu Chulainn smirk at the purple hair girl "I will have my Gae Bolg if I'm a Lancer, young lady. But for some reason, I have been switch to Caster."
After explaining for the girl, the Irish Servant turns his attention to Ritsuka with an interested look "You know, most people predict my True Name through my spear but you're really something else, eh?"
"Your runes gave you away. I have met Cu Chulainn before, but his power, appearance and even attitude just completely contrast to you." Fujimaru smile at the blue haired man while crossing his arms.
Mash, Director Marie, and Romani widened their eyes while the latter almost drop his jaw to the ground when they try to process the information by Ritsuka.
The white hair women stand up while exclaiming with disbelief "Wait! you meet Cu Chulainn before?! How old are you?!"
Fujimaru put his finger under his chin for a few seconds before look at Marie "In your terms, you could say that I have arrived at earth since the Age of Gods."
"Amazing! That means your age could be thousand years old!" Roman almost stand up from his seat.
Fujimaru smile at the pink haired man as he replied nonchalant "Don't worry much about that. In this world, I'm only 25."
A few minutes of silence for everyone as everyone, even Caster try to analyze the huge amount of information that the silver giant gave them from the conversation. Caster knew the man was something inhuman but he never expects to something to be this amazing. With Mash, the purple hair girl has met many types of people but her Senpai is something above all those leagues. Marie and Roman still stunned by what they just heard, the situation is beyond Chaldea or anyone comprehension right now.
"I guess you could say that he is a double alien." the doctor tries to break the silent atmosphere with some humor. But everyone gives the poor man a deadpan look.
"Doctor, please, now not is the time." Mash scold
"Your jokes are terrible, weakling-man." Caster gives Romani an annoying look.
"W-Weakling … " Roman could feel all of his confidence broke down.
Cu Chulainn places his staff next to him before glancing at Fujimaru "Anyway, we all forget the most important question. Why are you here? I guess it has to do something with the Grail." this causes everyone to move their attentions back at Ritsuka.
The man closes his eyes as the expression on his face turn serious again "Yes, I was sent here because there is a Dark Ultras."
"Dark Ultras?" Mash wonder
"Ultras rely on the power of light to fight the enemy but there are some Ultras that has abandon the light and favor the darkness." Ritsuka stare at the dark sky while explaining
"So are you saying that this Ultras somehow have damage humanity timeline." Marie crossed her arms
"I believe so. With our last encounter with Lancer, I could sense a large amount of darkness store in her body." Fujimaru replied
"I see, the Grail has been damaged." Caster put his finger under his chin while walk around
"What?" Marie stand up again
"If what he told us is true then this Ultras has infect the Grail." the blue hair Servant answer with honest
"Hmph, that could be a possibility." Romani nodded with his eyes close
Ritsuka say silent for a couple of seconds before spoke "That could be true, if the Grail provide enough power for him. But we must act fast."
"Senpai?" Mash widened her eyes in confusion
"From what I see, the Grail is a powerful device but it would be pale compare to the power of an Ultras. This Dark Ultras will try to find a new power source when he finishes extracting the power of the Grail." Ritsuka clenched his fist tight as he came up a hypothesis about the situation.
"What?! The Grail power is unlimited, there is no way that could happen!" the Director shouted out angrily
""Unlimited" in human terms. Do not underestimate the power of an Ultras, Director." Fujimaru responds with a glare at the white hair women before staring at the sky again "If we don't find a way to stop him, the darkness will swallow the light and this universe will be gone forever." Ritsuka words once again shake everyone to their core, Marie and Roman don't want to believe what the Ultras said but deep down, they knew what the silver giant spoke are all true.
Marie immediately has a mental broke down, the white hair women hold her head with her hands while tear slowly drops from her eyes "W-What?! Th-This … U-U-Universe… "
"Director, please calm down." Mash quickly crouched next to the poor women, trying to comfort her.
"Shit, the situation is beyond our comprehension right now, even for me." Caster gritted his teeth while rubbed his temple "I'm not sure that this Holy Grail War even matters anymore if another one like you are here."
Everyone mood quickly turns desperation until the Shielder realizes something "S-Senpai, but you are here!" Mash spoke with some hope in the man "You can defeat Him, right?"
The man smile at the girl positive view "Yes, you're right, Mash. Don't lose hope, darkness always feeds on desperation and sorrow. If we give up now, he will win." Ritsuka looks at Marie straight in the eyes, showing his determination to protect humanity "A Servant cannot defeat an Ultras but another Ultras can."
Caster smirk as he put his staff over his shoulder "So what's your plan, Ultraman?"
"We need to find the source of the power and stop it before this Singularities could get any worse." Ritsuka stares at the ground with a thoughtful look.
"Caster, you said that your Holy Grail War was switched with something else." The man then glance at Cu Chulainn
"Yeah, I don't know the details myself but overnight, the town was blanketed with fire, human had disappeared and only Servants remained." the blue haired man leans on the metal rail again.
Mash walk closer to Fujimaru while whisper into his ear "Senpai, do you know how this could happen?"
"I'm sorry, Mash. The light has given me all the answers it got and I'm stuck at a dead end right now. " Ritsuka shook his head
"Mash, Ritsuka. What are you discuss about?" Marie glared at the duo with tick mark while Caster and Roman stare with confusion.
"Just some minors things, Director. Caster, please continue." Ritsuka said with a nervous smile
The blue hair Servant narrows his eyes at Fujimaru for a few seconds before continuing "Anyway, Saber was the first to start the Holy Grail War again."
"Saber has defeated Archer, Rider, Lancer, Berserker, and Assassin." Ritsuka could sense some … angry in Caster tone.
"And then the defeated Servant became corrupted by a dark shadow, as you saw with Lancer." the blue haired man concludes his report.
"Just like I thought, this has to do something with Him." Ritsuka put his finger under his chin with a thoughtful look.
"I have disposed Rider and Assassin before they encountered for Berserker, I think he won't attack us if we leave him alone." Caster glance at the other side of the bridge.
"So if we defeat the remaining Servants ..." Roman conclude
"The Holy Grail will be over." the blue hair Servant finish as he turns his eyes to Ritsuka "But I think we have a bigger issue to focus on."
"Fujimaru, do you have any ideas where this Dark Ultras can be?" Marie sits down with her legs cross.
"Yes, I think so. A Dark Ultras will likely try to find the source of corruption or darkness to reside in and gain their power from that source. In this case, is the cause of these abnormalities. in this Singularity. " Fujimaru answer
"Caster, do you where it is?" the white hair women turn to Caster
Cu Chulainn turn around and stare at the nearby mountain, which can be seen over the bridge, near the forest "Yes, at the heart of this land, they are protecting it, the corrupted Holy Grail."
"Damn! Just like I thought!" Fujimaru gritted his teeth in frustration, his worst fear has become reality.
"We cannot stay here any longer, we must go now" Ritsuka walk to the rail while glaring at the mountain, the man could sense darkness from the area.
"Wait, Caster!" Marie called the blue hair Servant.
"Do you really want to help us? Even though you hardly know anything about our situation." the white hair women ask Caster with some doubts
"Whatever your story is, I doubt it gonna be stranger than him" the Irish Servant said without turning back.
And so, the quarter continue their journey until Marie decide to choose a local high school at rest place.
2 hours after the conversation with Caster
Fuyuki City - Homurahara Academy-Hallway
Homurahara Academy is a well know high school in Fuyuki, now has become nothing more than ruins. Even though the school has been engulfed in black rock and flames, some area still remains sturdy and safe for someone to shelter.
At the end of the hallway is Mash, with Fou on her shoulder. The purple hair girl stands there while looking out of the broken window, her eyes filled with anxiety and sadness, the girl was deep in her thoughts until a voice brought her out.
"I'm sorry, Mash."
"Senpai?" the girl turns to her left and see Ritsuka is slowly approaching her.
"I see that you still worry about your Noble Phantasm." the man stop next to the girl.
"No, I'm operating perfectly." the girl try to deny.
"Please, don't try to hide your worries, Mash." the man look at the girl with a kind look before continue "I may be a powerful alien, but I know next to nothing about magecraft. Perhaps you will never have to carry this burden if you formed with a suitable human."
"It's okay, Senpai, I'm happy that I could form a contract with you as a Servant. Even though you're not truly a human but you still human to me." the girl said with a smile.
Ritsuka once again was touch by the purple hair girls words, for some reason, the man cheeks was a little red for a few seconds there. Fujimaru cannot tell what this feeling is but for some reason, it reminds him of Natasha Romanova and Naomi Yumeno.
Meanwhile, with Marie on the terrace roof of the Academy
The white hair girl is currently enchanting with some rocks by her magecraft with Caster stand next to her. The man knew that someone like Marie is the first-class magus and her ability to summon multiple Servants is definitely possible but for some reason, the white hair women just don't want to discuss that topic and so the blue hair Servant let it slide.
After a few minutes of concentration and silent, the women decide to ask Caster "Caster, there is still one thing I need to confirm."
"Oh, what it is?" the Irish Servant raise an eyebrow while leaning on the fence.
"Do you the True Name of the Servant Saber? You speak as if you've spoken with her several times." the women cross her arms
"Yes, I know. Anyone who struck by her Noble Phantasm would know her identity." Cu Chulainn begins to stand straight up while turning his head to the nearby forest.
"Pulling the sword from a stone select a king. It's the most famous sword of all, even in your time period. Its name is Excalibur. " the Irish man holds his staff tightly while explaining for Marie.
"W-Wait, you mean Saber is … King Arthur, King of the Knights." the Director widened her eyes in shocked and afraid.
"W-Wait, are you telling me that Mash g-gonna fight King Arthur?! She hasn't even unlocked her Noble Phantasm yet!" Marie stands up from her position.
"Noble Phantasm is something you can't force to activate. Besides, with the young lady Master around, Saber or Archer has no chance whatsoever." the white hair girl gonna try to retorted but deep down, she knew Caster is right, Ritsuka power is something different than any Servants or magus.
2 more hours
Fuyuki City-near Ten no Sakazuki
The quarter has arrived in front of the ancient cave. This massive cavern is where the Greater Holy Grail was created. Ritsuka quickly notices some structure that somehow looks man made.
"This cave look… unnatural" the man put his hands on the cave wall.
"This cave is an underground workshop expanded by mages over a number of years." Marie answer.
"Hmm..." is Fujimaru only respond.
Suddenly, Caster slams his staff into the ground, create a blue magic circle behind everyone. In a matter of seconds, the circle protects everyone, especially Mash from a black explosive arrow that was shot out from a cliff right behind them.. This force everyone to turn around.
"WHAT IS THAT?!" Marie shriek out while Mash and Ritsuka quickly switch into the battle stance.
"Come on out Archer!" Caster shouts out while also prepare his runes.
A man steps out from the cliff, his notable features are tanned skin, messy white hair, yellow iris eyes and strange red veins under his right eyes and arms. The man wore some kind of black bulletproof bodysuit with red cloak tied to his waist. He also wore combat boots and a large black bow on his right hand.
"So, the disciple is here." Cu Chulainn said mockingly.
"He is the Archer Servant." Ritsuka narrows his eyes at the white hair man.
"Are you protecting the wielders of the holy sword as always?" Caster asks a rhetorical question.
"I have no memory of becoming a disciple. But I can at least do the work of chasing off mundane visitors." Archer replied as he raises his bow up.
"In other words, you're a gatekeeper. I don't care why you're protecting Saber but let's end this." Caster grin as he prepared to fight Archer.
Archer click his tongue before summoning a drill-sword like weapon on his hand. With no hesitation, the man instantly turns the weapon into a simple arrow before place it on his bow.
"Interesting ability." Fujimaru rubbed his chin while looking at Archer strange power to summon weapons.
In a matter of seconds, with precise aim to Mash's head, the black suit Servant make his shot. But before the arrows could reach Shielder, something happens.
"Eihwaz!" Caster waves his hand and quickly engulf the arrow in flames and the projectile soon crumble to dust.
"Alright, you bastard, we gonna-" Caster wasn't finished his sentence as a light shine behind his back.
The blue hair Servant turns his head around and saw the Ring Device on Ritsuka is glow with white light.
"Caster, go with Mash, I'll deal with him." Fujimaru spoke with a deadly serious voice.
The blue hair man about to open his mouth to retort but the voice of Mash immediately chimed in "Senpai, with your power, we can defeat Saber much faster."
"I'm sorry, Mash, but there is something I need to do." Ritsuka replied while still staring at Archer.
The purple hair girl is about object her Senpai idea but Caster put his hand on her shoulder with a smirk "Young lady, if I'm you, I will do what he said."
"Don't worry, Mash. I catch up with you guys soon." Fujimaru glance at the purple hair girl with a kind smile.
"Don't die, Fujimaru!" Marie said her last words before following others two.
"Don't worry, I won't." Ritsuka smirk.
With that, everyone begins to ran into the cave. Seeing so, Archer swiftly jump off the cliff and chase after the trio but Ritsuka voice shout out: "Ginga Fireballs!" as multiple balls of magma shot at the tanned skin Servant. This forces him to jump a few meters back from the explosion attack. The Servant narrows his yellow eyes at Fujimaru while ready his bow.
"That ability, you must be the silver giant. Your magical energy is abnormal." Archer glared at Ritsuka.
"I'm Ritsuka Fujimaru, what is your name?" the silver hero slowly pull out two cards from his container.
"Does it matter?" the black suit man ready another arrow.
"It does, your eyes are full of … emptiness. You're carrying a heavy burden. I can see behind those eyes is a different world, those eyes tell me that you have existed in this world too long and something inside you has gone, your dream. " Ritsuka look at the Servant with sympathy.
"Why does it matter to you? I don't need your pity." Archer raise his bow and aim at Fujimaru head.
"I will free you from those sufferings with my light, Guardian of Earth." Ritsuka raises his Orb Ring up as the light engulf him.

Unfreeze time
As the light down, Archer open his eyes again and was shocked by what he saw. Replace Ritsuka is his Ultra from but in human-size.
He has oval shape eyes and blue crystal cover his forehead, chest, and forearm. Most of his body is cover by red and silver. The red cover his rears, the neck, the fists, and the feet.

Both of forearms also covered by the blue crystal that serves at a brace, with V shape. Finally, his abdomen also has a black line that forms a V shape as well.
"This form! This form looks completely different than the last time I saw him. So he has more than 1 form. This is troublesome." Archer narrow his eyes at Orb with tension.
"The future will show the dazzling light!" Orb voice boom through the air as he switches to his battle stance.
"I ask again, what's your name, Archer?" Ultraman Orb ask
"It doesn't matter anymore. One of us gonna die today." the man let out a sad smile.
"So be it." without any hesitation, the silver being dash straight at Archer.
The black suit Servant immediately fire his arrow at Orb. The black projectile instant explodes upon contact with the silver hero. A force sends Orb a few meters back but causes zero damage to him.
Seeing his opponents undamaged from his shot, the white hair Servant change his bow into a pair of white and black blades that look like they from China. But before Archer could make any move, Orb once again dash at him with inhuman speed and grab his collar. Both of them quickly fly to the air.
"I don't have much time before this body gives in, better deal with him fast." the silver hero with his quick think, threw Archer into the nearby shrine courtyard. Fortunately, the tanned skin Servant lands safely into the ground, only with a small crater. But before Archer could regain his composure, Orb land right in front of him, only a few meters distances, resulting in a large crater.
"His physical powers are impressive, even when he not turn into his giant form, I need to be careful." the white hair Servant closely examine his opponents.
In matter of seconds, both combatants rush at each other with immense speed, create a shockwave behind them.
Meanwhile, with Marie, Mash and Cu Chulainn in Ten no Sakazuki
In front of the trio is a massive black tower, on top of the tower is a black orb and in front of the tower is a Saber in her Alter form.
Her blond hair reflects the color of her iris, her long black dress goes with a dark armor. This armor protects her upper body, feet and forearm. Red veins could be seen on her gloves and armor. On her hand is a long 2 hand sword, the blade was cover with a strange purple aura and decorate with red lines, in all side and shape, for her black weapon. One of her most notable features is some part of the armor could be seen under her cheeks.
"I-Is that Saber?" Marie could feel her legs shaking again.
"O-ho, you're a strange Servant, girl." Saber speak gently before turn eyes to Caster.
"Are you come here to meet your end, Caster?"
"Hell no! We come here to kick your ass!" the man grins widely while spinning his staff.
"Then come forth, show me the power of that shield, girl!" the black swordswoman point her blade at Mash.
"Yosh! Let's do this!" Caster swipe his hand in a wide arc, summons multiple flames runes, before turn to the purple hair girl "Young lady, are you ready?"
"Hai!" the girl looks back at the man with a determined look.
In a matter of seconds, the blue hair Servant shot out his runes at Saber, force her to dash forward to dodge the attack. Aiming at Cu Chulainn, the black swordswoman rush straight at her target, prepare to deliver a powerful strike. But the moment her sword swung down, it quickly got deflect back by Mash, who rush in front of Caster.
Caster let out a smirk before shot out another barrage of runes at Saber. The black Servant swiftly jumps back to avoid the attack. Seizing this moment, the blue hair Servant places his staff on the ground, instantly summon a powerful stream of flame from the end of his staff. The fires shot out like a cannon at Saber, sending the black Servant back a few meters.
"Have some more!" without any mercy, Caster fire another barrage of runes at Saber, the runes immediately explode upon contact her. However, after a few seconds of silent, Saber dash out from the smoke with inhuman speed. The blonde Servant delivers a powerful thrust with her sword, empowered with Mana Burst, result in a dark stream of magic cover her blade. The attack range quickly extended but before the dark magic could reach Caster, Mash rapidly uses her shield to protect the blue hair Servant.
Saber grit her teeth in annoying but once again, forced to side step back to dodge Caster fire runes. Not letting Saber has another chance to use her attacks, Cu Chulainn ran straight at the blonde Servant before jump up and deliver an overhead strike. The Irish Servant enhances his staff with flames magic, result in a devastating explosion the moment he strikes the staff down.
Unfortunately, Saber swiftly side step to the left, evade the attack before deliver a powerful vertical slash at Caster. However, the Irish man with his quick reflex, block the strike with his wooden staff. Both combatants stare at each other for a few seconds but Caster knew Saber is slowly outstrength him. The blue hair Servant swiftly pull out a small stone from his pocket and flick the stone in front of Saber with his finger. The moment the blonde Servant eyes glance at the rock, a white flash pierced through her eyes, stunt the black Servants.
Seize this chance, Caster deliver a thrust to the Saber chest, damaging the black Servant. The Irish Servant begin to perform a combo of attacks consist most is normal strikes, some spin sweep to the head and chest, a couple of thrusts to the abdomen and torso and end with a hook kick to the face. The combos send Saber back a few feets
"Damn it! My physical powers is lower than her in this class!" Caster grit his teeth before prepare to attack again. But Saber immediately deliver another thrust to the man chest, force him to leap a few feets back. Make sure Caster has no chance to use runes again, the black Servant dash straight at him and deliver a horizontal slash but got blocked again by the Irish Servant staff.
"This is useless." the black Servant said while charging her mana, prepare to perform another Mana Burst.
Luckily, Shielder quickly deliver a shield bash to the Saber, send her a few meters back. The moment Caster is free, the blue hair man spin his staff before place the wooden stick to the ground and summon Ansuz from the end of the staff. Another stream of flames approach Saber with ferocity. However, the black swordswoman instantly disable the flames with a Mana Burst enhanced slash.
The black Servant simply repay by raise her hand up, and shot out a beam of black mana. The attack send Mash a few meters back with her back on the ground. Before Saber could perform her attack again, Caster quickly shot out another barrage of fire runes and the black swordswoman, force her to jump a few meters back.
The blue hair Servant swiftly rushes to Mash side, who slowly stand up from the attack. Still staring at Saber, Cu Chulainn speaks: "Young lady, could you hold her for a few seconds, I need her distraction to activate my Noble Phantasm."
Mash widened her eyes a little bit before nodded "Okay!"
Meanwhile, Marie just stand there, don't know what to do besides pray for the safety for the Servant and Demi-Servant "Fujimaru, where are you?"
Return to Ultraman Orb and Archer at Ryuudou Temple
The hero of light and the black suit Servant is staring at each other. For the past 3 minutes, both are still trying to land a hit on each other but no success was made. Holding his twin married swords, Kanshou and Bakuya, tightly, the man narrow his eyes at the silver being.
As a Counter Guardian, Archer carry a large amount of knowledge to defeat his opponent, but this … being in front of him is unlike any Beasts, Servants or any enemies that he fought before. The tanned skin Servant could tell that the reason Orb hasn't killed him yet because he is still trying to pursue the man or some other unknown purpose.
"He is still trying to figure out my power, that will become his mistake. Time to end this fight!" the silver hero swiftly approach Archer in matter of seconds. With quick reflex, the bow Servant sidestep a few feets back, avoid a powerful hook from Orb. Not letting Archer has chance to breathe, Orb immediately deliver a roundhouse kick to his side. The black suit Servant quickly use Kanshou to block the attack but after a few seconds, of holding, Archer realize that his opponent strength his slowly push him back.
In the next moment, Archer ,with his quick thinking, use Bakuya to cut Orb leg but the silver hero swiftly pull his leg back. Seizing this moment, the bow Servant took a leap onto the shrine roof. In the next seconds, the man instantly switch from his swords to the black bow again. "Caladbolg" the tanned skin Servant whisper the name of his weapon as the same arrow-like sword materialized on his right hand. The black Servant quickly shot out the sword like an arrow at Ultraman.
The golden and blue projectile was launched with sound-breaking barrier speed, but much to Archer surprised, the Zenshin Crystals on Orb body begin to shine in a white light. In the next moment, Archer Caladbolg was cut into half before it could reach the silver hero. There are 2 long white blades on the Ultraman forearm and his crystal is glowing with a white light for some reason.
It's reveals that Orb has activate his Arm Blade from his crystal braces. "Those blades, so he still has tricks hidden in his sleeves after all." Archer grit his teeth in frustration before jump up to dodge Orb yellow Hand Slash. While in the air, the black suit Servant quickly release a barrage of red arrows at the Ultraman but all of the projectiles immediately got deflect or destroyed by the Ultraman blades.
Realize normal arrows won't work, the black suit Servant swiftly fire another Caladbolg at Ritsuka but the silver hero, once again, leap back to avoid the explosion. The Ultraman repay with another Hand Slash, force the tanned skin Servant to land back on the courtyard to evade the attack. The moment Archer back to the ground, Orb immediately ran straight at the man before deliver a thrust with both swords to Archer abdomen. However, the man swiftly dodge the attack before pay back with a series of slash and cut attacks with his Kanshou and Bakuya, in different patterns, at the Ultraman. Ritsuka superhuman senses help him parried or block every strikes from Archer before the silver hero release a burst of flames around his body, force the black suit Servant to jump a few meters back.
Decide to start his counter-attack, Ultraman Orb quickly shot another Hand Slash at Archer, but the tanned skin swiftly jumps into the air again. However, this time, Ultraman Orb instantly tackle the tanned skin man before both combatants dive to the ground, result in a big crater. Before Archer could regain his composure, Orb quickly grabs him by the neck and pummels the man face and torso with his other fist. After a couple of seconds of punching, the tanned skin summons his blades again and try to stab Gai chest. But much to his shocked Kanshou and Bakuya immediately broke upon contact the armor.
Before Archer could think of another attempt to escape Orb grab, the silver hero once again threw the man through the other side of the shrine. The tanned skin Servant slowly stands up while trying to locate his enemy. But again, before the man could run or jump, fly with inhuman speed through the hole on the shrine, grab Archer face before slamming the Servant back to the ground.
The Ultraman repeat this action 3 more times before hurling Archer onto the air with ease. But the black Servant shot out another Caladbolg while in midair. Even though the silver being has blocked the attack with his forearms, the force behind the weapon still damages in some way. Ultraman Orb quickly leap over the shrine roof and prepare to deliver a kick to Archer face. But once again, the tanned skin Servant is wait for him with another Caladbolg and another massive explosion occur right in the middle of the courtyard, the black suit Servant cover his eyes from the dust.
After a few second of silence, the silver hero flew through the cloud of smoke with immense speed and shot out multiple Hand Slashes at Archer. With great maneuverability, the bow Servant dodges all of the energy projectiles but before Archer could focus back on Gai, the silver being deliver a powerful punch to the man gut, send him into the wall, resulting in a big dent. Even hit by a powerful blow, the man still trying to use his strength to keep his legs from malfunction.
"You carry a deep pain in your chest, I can see that. But I can help you ." Orb speak but Archer only respond is a mocking laugh.
"You think you understand me. Don't make me laugh!" the man glare at Ultraman.
"I will show you the light." Ultraman Orb body begin to glow as multiple rainbow-color rapiers are forming behind his back. In a matter of seconds, 5 Rainbow-colored Light Swords hovered behind the Ultraman.
"Mebiuspecially Blade!" the silver hero grab on one of the swords and raise it up as other swords begin to circle around the main sword. In the next moment, a rainbow stream of light was shot out from the blade. And before Archer could make any move, Gai swiftly aim the light at the Servant. In the next seconds, the black suit Servant was engulfed by the rainbow light.
In Archer mind
Archer cannot say the attack is cruel and brutal. The man could feel the light is warm and … nostalgia. He can see the old memory of his old life before he became this world protector. He can remember his lover Rin Tohsaka, his kouhai Sakura Matou, his sensei Taiga Fujimura, his friends in class 2-C, his sister Illyasviel von Einzbern and his Servant Saber.
Archer close his eyes and open it again, now surround he is a wasteland with nothing but swords on the ground and giant clock wheels on the dark yellow sky. The tanned skin man falls to his knees as long trail of tears came from his eyes.
"Everyone, I miss everyone. I don't want to be alone." Archer wishes he could be strong right now, but he can't, he just wants to go back, before all of these happen.
"Don't cry." a voice suddenly said, cause Archer to turn his head back.
His Unlimited Blade Works slowly change to a beautiful forest surrounded by tall mountains that form a mini valley. Archer quickly realize that he is standing on the palm of a white giant. The giant oval eyes stare into Archer's eyes.
"Don't cry, but smile for what you have given humanity a future. The true powers don't come from one man but from the bonds with his friends. And you have carved your own path because you believe in your belief. Then follow it, no matters the pain, no matter the hardships as the power of light will always be there, guide you through the darkness." the moment the giant of light finish his speech, his body begins to crumble into light particles as reality started to come back to Archer.
Back to Reality
Archer glance at his hands, he could see his vision slowly fade away and his body start to disappear. The man turns to Ultraman Orb before speak his last words "You asked what is my name. My name is Emiya, Shirou Emiya."
Orb nodded as Emiya faded into nothingness. The silver hero turns his head to the mountain behind him "Hang on, Mash, I'm coming."
Back to Mash and Caster in Ten no Sakazuki
While Saber is still trying slash Mash with her sword, Caster is standing behind Marie while preparing his Noble Phantasm.
"Mash, hang in there!" Marie yelled to the purple hair girl with desperation.
"My Magecraft is a Cage of Flames." Caster voice boom through the cave.
"A flame yet verdant giant." Saber deliver another powerful slash to Shielder, which push the girl a few feets back.
"Retribution. A shrines that purify the evil of human affairs." the black Servant release another cut, empowered by Mana Burst, at Mash shield which sends the girl a few meters back with her face on the ground but the girl still trying to stand up.
"Good job, young lady." Caster quickly dash right in front of Mash before raise his staff up "The one who destroys, Wicker Man!"
Before Saber could make any move, a 49 feet wicker statue rose from the ground and grab the black swordswoman. In the next moment, the wicker man engulfs in flames and this creates a massive explosion. Caster places his staff on the ground, create a blue magic circle in front of him and Marie, which protect them from the dust and rocks.
But when the smoke died down, Saber reveals to survive from the Noble Phantasm with few damages. Caster grit his teeth in frustration while holding his staff tightly "Damn, she's stronger than I thought."
"A futile effort." Saber speak with an emotionless voice.
"Now witness your doom!" the black Servant perform a horizontal cut enhance by Mana Burst at her opponents. Cu Chulainn swiftly taps his staff on the ground again as giant roots came from the ground, protect the trio from the slash. However, the blue-haired man quickly falls to his knees as the roots slowly disappear after the strike.
"Caster?!" Marie shouted out.
"Sorry, but I think I'm out of breath right now." the Irish man panting from every word he spoke.
At this moment, Saber immediately raises her sword up as dark mana begin to surround the blonde Servant begin to chant her Noble Phantasm "Cry out. It is time to fall to the ground."
"She about to activate her Noble Phantasm!" Marie whisper in fear and desperation.
"Damn it, if that Noble Phantasm got us, we all gone!" Caster tries to hold himself straight with his staff.
"Hammer of the Vile King." dark energy concentrate on Saber weapon more and more while the air surrounds her slowly show a purple aura.
"Senpai, what can I do now?" Mash weakly stand up, her body is full of bruises and cuts from Saber. The girl closes her eyes while gritting her teeth.
"Overturn the aurora. Swallow the light!" a black magic column rose from Saber sword and the atmosphere becomes colder and colder.
The purple hair hold her shield tight in desperation until she feels something warm on her hand "Mash" the girl turns to her right and saw Ritsuka is standing next to her, in his human form, with his hand on her hand "Senpai?"
"F-Fujimaru?!" Marie said in relief
"I believe in you." Fujimaru smiles warmly to the girl as he activates his first Command Seal, which engulfs Mash in a white light for a few seconds.
"Excalibur Morgan!" Saber swings her sword down as the dark magic blade was struck down right at the duo.
However, the girl let out a mighty battle cry as a big white circle appear in front of her shield and quickly developed into a white wall that blocks Saber Noble Phantasm. The dark blade edge was split into many smaller tips upon contact Mash Noble Phantasm.
"That shield ..." the black Servant widened her eyes in shock.
In the next moment, Caster uses the last of his strength to summon Ansuz and shot the fireball at Saber, disrupt her Noble Phantasm. After that, Shielder instant turn off her Noble Phantasm as the girl could feel her strength slowly slip away.
"S-Senpai ..." Mash said weakly
"Is okay, Mash, please rest." Ritsuka places his hand on Mash's shoulder before walk in front of the girl.
"Who are you?" the blonde Servant narrow her eyes at Ritsuka.
"My name is Ritsuka Fujimaru. And I'm here to stop you, King Arthur." Fujimaru pulls out his cards.
"Your magical power, it does not belong to a human but not a Servant either. What are you, Fujimaru?" Saber still speak with her emotionless voice.
"Who I'm is not important, what matter is I will free you with my light." Ritsuka pulls out his Ring Device.
"Hmph, I don't need your liberations. I have more powers than ever." Saber still glaring at the man.
"You have fallen into darkness, King of Britain. I will show you the power of my light." Fujimaru raises the Orb Ring up as light cover his body, force everyone to cover their eyes.
Freeze Time
"Ultraman-san!"
Gai raises a card up and put it into the middle of the ring as blue light surround the card, in the next moment, the same light quickly form a humanoid form next to Gai right side.
The figure reveals to be a silver being. This being has a round shape gem on his chest and oval eyes with a large fin. His body color was red and silver. There are 2 silver patches under his arm and over his shoulder, the rest of the silver cover his fists and legs. One of his unique features is 2 parallel silver lines between his gem. The rest of his body is cover in red.
"SHUWATCH!"

"Tiga-san!"
Gai place the next card into the middle of the ring again and the card swiftly materialized into yellow light and the light rapidly creates a humanoid next to his left.
The figure reveals to be another silver being. This being has a large fin on his head with oval shape eyes and a crystal on his forehead. His body composes with the color of red, silver and blue follow an interchange pattern with a blue gem on his chest that also has an oval shape but vertical and surrounded by silver, especially the bottom part.

Gai raises the Ring up as he shouts out:
"Please lend me the power of your lights!"
The Ring color flashes with the color of blue then another flash to a color of yellow.
"FUSION UP!"
Two silver beings immediately merged into Gai as the white light begin to surround his body.
"ULTRAMAN ORB: SPACIUM ZEPERION"
Unfreeze time
As the light died down, it's revealed Gai has transformed into his Ultras form but in human-size. The silver hero speaks his catchphrase "I light the darkness and strike at evil!"
"H-He transformed ..." Marie stutter.
"Impressive, but that will not enough to defeat me." Saber widened her eyes a little but quickly regain composure.
"We'll see about that."
The moment Orb finish his sentence, the silver being flown straight at Saber and deliver a powerful side kick. Even though Saber blocks the kick with her blade, the black Servant was pushed across the ground a few meters back. Not letting Saber has a chance to counterattack, the Ultraman dash straight in front of Saber and perform a right hook into the black Servant face.
Once again, the blonde girl has blocked the punch with her sword but sheer force behind this punch was forced her to skid back a few meters. Gritting her teeth in anger, Saber ran straight at Orb before deliver a powerful vertical slash. Letting out all her strength, the black swordswoman perform a series of sword attacks at the silver hero.
Fortunately, Orb swiftly activates his Sky Type Speed as blue lines on his body blow for a few seconds. At this moment, Orb speed increase in a different level, help him dodge all of Saber attack. Right after the sword Servant finishes her attacks, the silver hero payback with an elbow to the women face then follow by a powerful punch to her gut and end with a Power Type Strength enhanced spin kick which sends the blonde Servant back a dozen meters with her face meet the ground.
Frustrated by Gai powers, Saber quickly stands up and deliver a powerful horizontal enhanced Mana Burst slash at the silver being. The Ultraman quickly jump up to dodge the attack before threw 3 Shuriken Sperion Light Ring in midair. Saber immediately let out Mana Burst around her body which caused all the buzzsaw projectiles to bounce off. Seeing this, Ultraman Orb quickly flew straight at Saber.
Before the blonde Servant could react, Gai swiftly knee kick her in the gut. But this is not enough to put the King of Knights down, she delivers a thrust at Orb but the silver hero sidestep to the left, avoid the stab. Gai repays with a right chop on Saber shoulder, stun her for a few seconds. Seizing this moment, Ultraman Orb delivers Power Type Strength enhanced uppercut, send the black Servant into the air. Make sure Saber stay down this time, Gai flew straight up and perform a combo of punches include hooks, jabs and straight punches into Saber torso and abdomen. The Ultras blue lines once again glow when he do the attacks.
After finishing his strikes, Orb grabs Saber by the face and threw her at the cave wall. Create a giant dent on the wall. Orb still hovered in the air to wait for the cloud of smoke disperse. But the blonde Servant once again stands up, using her sword at a staff. In the next couple seconds, Saber was screamed in anger before raise her hand up and shot out a powerful black stream of magic at Orb. With quick reflect, the silver hero was unharmed thanks to his Sperion Shield.
Saber leap at Orb with ferocity while prepare to cut down the alien hero with another Mana Burst attack. However, the silver being swiftly grabbed her blade with his left hand and deliver a roundhouse kick to her ribs and send back to the ground again. This result a massive crater with Saber at the center.
"This fight is over." Gai softly lands back on the ground.
"It only over when I said it over!" Saber roar in anger as she jumps out of the crater and prepares to raise her sword up.
"Shit! She about to unleash her Noble Phantasm again!" Caster shouted out.
"Senpai!" Mash quickly rush to Orb.
"Cry out. It is time to fall to the ground." The blonde Servant begins to chant her Noble Phantasm.
"Mash, do you trust me?" the Ultraman question caught the girl off guard.
"W-What?" the girl baffled.
"I said do you trust me?" the silver hero ask again.
"Hammer of the Vile King." dark energy concentrate on Saber weapon more and more while the air surrounds her slowly show a purple aura.
Stare into Orb oval eyes, the girl answer with determination "I believe you, Senpai."
"Then watch as I free her from this darkness." Gai raises his right hand up while putting his left hand out in a horizontal position.
"Overturn the aurora. Swallow the light!" a black magic column rose from Saber sword and the atmosphere becomes colder and colder.
A purple bubble appears right in front of the silver hero as energy begins to gather into his arms.
"Excalibur Morgan!" Saber swings her sword down as the dark magic blade was struck down right at the silver hero.
"Sperion Ray!" Ultraman put his arms in a "+" shape and the bubble quickly become a white circle in front of him as a powerful white-purple beam was shot out from his forearms and rip through the air.
Both attacks meet each other. The moment they collide, a massive shockwave was released, which push everyone back a few feet. Marie quickly uses hide behind Mash to avoid the pebbles, rocks, and dust that fly through them. Even though both seems evenly matched, Saber could feel Ultraman Orb light quickly overwhelm her. In the next couple of seconds, the purple-white beam swiftly pushes the black beam back as the ground begin to crack from the sheer pressure of both combatants power.
"NO! IMPOSSIBLE!" Saber screamed out as the light begins to engulf her body.
In Saber mind
"Is this the end?" the blonde girl open her blue iris eyes and look at the green grasses. She realizes that she is standing on a small hill cover with green grasses and the sky is deep blue, just like what she wants. She wants to enjoy this moment but she can't and she knew that very well. Not what happened to Camelot and others.
"An incompetent King should deserve worst fate." the girl chuckled to her own cruel joke as tears drop from her face.
"You did what you could." a voice echo in her head and caused the blonde girl to turn behind her. The girl saw a white giant is standing right behind her and look at her with his oval eyes.
"Y-You ..." the girl look at Orb with more tears drop from her sad blue eyes.
"All of us all have a sad memory. Sometimes you have to leave it behind and move on." the white giant kneels down while speaking with his gentle voice.
"B-But I-I can't, not f-for me ..." the girl could not forms any words from her throat as tears keep dropping from her face. She wants to be strong but her true feelings said it can not.
"It's okay to let it out. People cry not because they're weak but because they've been strong for too long. It's time to let it go." the giant place his finger in front of the girl.
"T-Thank you, Ultraman Orb." Artoria falls down and hugs the Ultraman finger as her vision slowly fading away.
Back to reality
Orb body begins to disappear and replace it with Ritsuka. The man immediately kneels down from exhaustion. Meanwhile, with Saber, the girl form has changed. Her blue eyes are deep as the ocean and her dress now has the color of blue, protect by grey armor that covers her torso, rears, feet and hands. On the chest armor, beautiful blue textures were decorated on it.
"Damn! He beat Saber with ease!" Caster grin.
"Senpai!" Mash quickly ran to Ritsuka side.
"D-Did he just purifies her?" Marie look at Saber with shocked.
"Senpai, you did it!" the girl exclaim.
"Y-Yeah, now excuse me Mash, I need to take a nap." Ritsuka quickly fall to Mash laps and his eyes slowly close away from all the transformation he has activate and now it has taken a toll on his body. Soon, the man conscious fell into slumber.
To be continued...
