"You know Master I feel like this has got to be the most oddest Grail War that I have ever heard almost kind of sad really, don't get me wrong I don't mind fighting but seriously killing off people just because they are different is beyond a stupid reason for this" said Saber as she leans onto a wall whereas Shizuka sat on the edge of the roof and kicking her legs playfully

The two weren't alone as Flay and Berserker stood on nearby ready to fight, the four didn't look fazed as battles light up the city before Shizuka answered her "its human nature dear, they fear what they do not truly understand, its why we mages take our time to slowly integrate the world because we know that if we go to fast then the world might try to either control or destroy. Though nowadays we might have to speed it just slightly if villains such as Doom or Zemo keep coming out of the woodwork"

Flay nodded knowing what she meant before seeing the battle in the distance and spoke out "well looks like they're aren't sending everything, must be a probing force to draw some out while the another group ambushes them from the side"

The Kyuubi hummed in agreement before she got to her feet and said out to them "all right time to go, wouldn't want to let them destroy this quaint city now would we"

The three nodded before she snapped her fingers and from there all of them were transported to battle. Within the city a small battle rages on, one side were mere humans alongside purple machines blasted their weapons against their enemy, the other were merely skeleton like beings wielding medieval weaponry but they were all in vary size with some behind just slightly taller than the average human while others matched the machine in size

But some would say that the true battle was now being shown by these four right here, one side showed the battle between two men locking weapons with one another. One of them was a tall man with greyish white hair, he wore black clothing with red highlights but it did not cover everything as his chest laid bare for all to see the bluish mark etched in there as he his sword hummed with power

The other was a man of Irish descent with waist long blond hair wearing white clothing with a chest piece and a small shoulder armor on his right side, his left was covered by a small blue cape and he was now gritting his teeth while holding his ground with his purple spear as he struggle to push the sword wielder back

At another side were two more but this was more akin to that of a cat and mouse game, only that the mouse can fight back as said mouse was a man with long blood red hair whose face seemed to be in a perpetual frown. He wore a white colored knights armor with a long flowing cape, his weapon was that of a giant bow showing that he was an archer while strap to the front of his waist was a sword

He was leaping away while taking pot shots at his opponent who is a 6'0 tall buff male who wore a combination of red and gold clothing that looked to be roman, what was unique about him was that he had blood red eyes that hold nothing but pure rage against his opponent.

The bigger male tried to close the gap but the red head was agile enough to evade all of his attacks. This battle has already started to grow as destruction rain upon the buildings on the streets they were in, thankfully enough it was empty due to the Sorcerer Supreme's intervention to transport them to a safe zone while using a slight memory altering magic to prevent full blown panic

Another earth shattering clash between sword and spear cratered the ground they stood as the spearsman went for a thrust but was deflected before he had to quickly duck under a swing. He retaliates with an upwards swing but it barely did any damage to the swordsman's skin as he returns the gesture with a stab, the blond had to painfully lean so far back to dodge it but not enough as a small nick hit his face

Grimacing he spun around to kick the swordsman straight into the building before quickly jumping backwards to get some space between them. The blond narrowed his eyes for a moment until a the building exploded outwards and from there the swordsman slowly walk out of the dust and smoke, the spearsman showed his slight annoyance but still got ready for another bout until

"My, my, this sure is quite something isn't it"

From there everyone had to quickly force themselves away from a torrent of fire that separated the two opposing forces there, only some didn't escape as humans, machine and skeletons all burn to ashes. Looking upwards all of them saw Shizuka and Saber standing on the rooftops with the Kyuubi holding an amuse look behind the fan she wields

She looks at the two groups for a moment before talking to the living beings there "well now that you brutes have manage to calm down a little, might I suggest that all of you lay down your weapons and give us your unconditional surrender lest you wish to face the wrath of the Sorcerer Supreme through his forces"

It was here that the Kyuubi saw which servant is on which side, the swordsman and archer stood together while the spearsman and brute tense up for a fight. It was then from the human/machine side that someone push pass his army, the man was blond man with a handsome feature but it was marred by the scowl that he had on. The man looks at the two for a moment before spouting out "surrender? Hah who do you think you are you heretic cur to demand us of surrender, soon we will rid the world of your kind and those traitorous scum that dare care for your kind"

The Kyuubi raise an eyebrow at his deceleration and she couldn't help but retort "my kind you say, I'm sorry to say that there is only one of my kind here and to be honest I could care less about barbaric fools like you who simply would destroy a single species just because they were born different. I mean it's like asking the sun to rise from the west but then again fools like you that was tempted by a device that isn't even the true grail would wet your violent tendencies as a savage"

A sneer flash across his face as the man then retorts back "you can spout your lies all you want but once we've obtain the grail we will reign supreme as the prominent race of this world while your kind will be nothing more than whispers in the wind"

He turns back to his army before barking out "KILL THE HEATHENS"

All of the soldiers and machines all pointed their weapons at the two but suddenly the skies fell a hail of spears of light bigger than an average bus, skewering the attackers in their barrage alongside the skeletons that didn't escape the onslaught. Only the servants below had reacted quickly enough to pull back from the kill zone, the blond had too manage to get away from the kill zone and it was only until the barrage had finally stop after a few seconds did he look back up to a smirking Shizuka and Saber

Here Shizuka snapped her fingers and from there the two groups were surrounded by a third army that wore a blue overcoats, pants, and black boots with a yellow aiguillette and decoration/badges adorned on the uniform showing rank among the troops. While everyone there is different only two stood out among the rest, one was a remarkably large man at a whopping 212 cm, who absolutely towers over most of the other soldiers there thus making him very easy to spot in a crowd or at a distance, his complexion is rather light while his head is completely bald save for a single lock of curly blond hair hanging from just above his brow. His eyebrows are bare of hair and he sports a thick, blond handlebar mustache, which hides his mouth while accentuating his strong cleft chin

The other was a women having cold blue eyes with long eyelashes and her waist-length blond hair is noticeably curled at the ends despite being otherwise relatively straight. Her lips are clearly defined and depicted as being rather full, while looking slender due to her uniform that did not deter the look of regality and command especially with the way she holds her sword on her hip

The woman coldly looks at the group as the human soldiers that were now startled at being surrounded with the high ground and that weapons and magic circles being pointed at them, the only ones not showing any fear were the servants and skeleton warriors. The blond male that spoke out only gave them an even bigger sneer as he said "you think you heretics can stop god's will, you think that you can stop our crusade, you think you can stop us from wiping out the demonic mutants that plague our earth"

It was here that Shizuka gave him a disinterested look on her face as she shuts her fan hard before she simply said to him "think? Now that's where you are wrong you pathetic fool, we do not think that we can stop you, we can stop you"

The Kyuubi raises her hand to the air before she gave everyone there their judgement "no mercy and no survivors"

And with that she drops her hand down and then all hell broke loose

Taking a deep breath, Naruto slowly exhale as he sense the ongoing battles that rages on in the city, he didn't need to know who was battling who as his sensory skills had long since able to surpass that he could pinpoint anyone within the city limits. That was not what he was here for though as Lancer walked vigilantly at his side as he headed for his destination, Noriko and Assassin weren't with them as they were with Shadowcat and Gambit observing Archer and his master in case they needed backup.

The blond steeled himself as his destination slowly comes into view, it wasn't much as their destination was nothing more than a generic warehouse within the city. What was different though is the armed guards that surrounds it, hidden out of sight but for Naruto he could see them as bright as day with his sensory skills

Only two normal looking guards stood at the entrance to keep up appearances and they notice the two heading towards them. Seeing this one of the two called out to them "hey you stop, this is private property, get lost before we call the cops"

Naruto and Lancer stopped right in front of them and the blond merely shook his head before replying to them "I wouldn't bother because the only people unaffected by the spells are the Magi and you Purifiers, so what you should be doing right now is tell your leader to abandon his foolish crusade lest I will be force to act"

The two looked at them oddly for a moment before they drop the act as one of them spoke to him "act, in case you didn't notice heathen our glorious crusade will not be halted, these mutant filth will be wipe clean from our pure blue planet and heretics like you will follow soon after so it is not us who should surrender but you because if you choose to defy us then a swift death will not be with you"

Haring what he had to say the Sorcerer Supreme couldn't help but shake his head at the audacity of these fools but they decided to give a show of force when four machines burst from their hiding place behind the two guards, all of them pointed their weapons at the two and Naruto couldn't help but let out a sigh as he said to himself "why did I ever think that they would even listen"

Snapping his fingers, all of the machines were disposed off when an invisible force blew all their heads off. The two guards didn't even have time to react before they too were blasted away alongside the gates by the unseen force which allowed the two to continued forward, what greeted them was a hail of bullets that bounce off harmlessly of a shield as the Sorcerer Supreme strode forward without a care in the world

The gunfire lasted a few more seconds until mini explosion light up the rooftops and like that it stopped silent while Naruto and Lancer reach the door, it wasn't long before they too were blown off their hinges allowing him to enter without a care in the world

It was here that the two made a slow beeline towards the man in the middle of the room, all around were Purifiers and machines all pointing their weapons at them. It was here that William Stryker himself narrowed his eyes at the two before he said out to them haughtily "so it would seem that more filthy heretics have now joined in taking our Lord's Holy Grail"

The blond raise an eyebrow of retort "wow, I don't no who to feel sorry for, you for thinking that this is the real Holy Grail or for the fact that you don't even know what the actual grail can really do but then again considering that you're nothing more than a pathetic fake priest with an even pathetic goal of wiping out innocents because of your twisted ideals"

Here the so called reverend couldn't help but scoff at the sorcerer before speaking out to him "innocents, these mutant scum are no innocent, they are a plight that Satan himself has given life too. They are a disease that spreads throughout our pure world and like you heathens will be nothing more than a blight in our history once we win this Holy War"

It was here a thunderous roar echoed the entire warehouse as three giant things dropped right in front of the two. The creatures were big almost giant in terms of size as they were as big as a small house with the looks of a lizard or dinosaur while its skin was greyish in color, Naruto and Lancer didn't so much as react as they roared right at them ready to tear them to pieces

The reverend in pride at the creatures before he started to showboat "magnificent aren't they, you see what miracles that can be made with our hands, these are one of many others we have in combating the mutant filth and you think that you two can stand in our way towards removing them then you are more foolish than I thought"

Again Naruto couldn't help but shake his head but before he could reply another roar shook the very foundations of the warehouse and within that roar was a name "AUUURRRTTTTHHEEERRRRRR"

Lancer manages to summon her weapon to brace the oncoming attack, said attack was someone tackling Lancer with enough force to create a shockwave that destroyed almost everything they stood on. The only one not affected was the Sorcerer Supreme as he reacted quickly by jumping into the air and landed a few feet away, he quickly looks on as Lancer manages to push the attacker back before she too looks at her attacker

The attacker was a black armoured being coated in rage and hate as IT roared once again before locking onto Lancer, Naruto's servant narrowed her eyes at her attacker before saying outloud "so this is what you have become here, is it because of her or is it something else"

Naruto was just slightly confuse but he quickly put that out of the way as one of the creatures tried to attack him. It's claws missed by a margin as the Reverend then ordered out "che, so this mad dog can't heel, very well everyone attack"

And it was here two more servants had appear to do battle, one was a behemoth of a man that towered over Alexander as he wore a robe that covered his body with two dark horns protruding from the top of his head, his skin was almost dark as his arms were black with golden lines adorning all over

The one next to him was a female with an odd shade color of orange and pink hair while her ears were pointed yet she didn't look like an elf, her clothing was something of a Greek toga but what she had on were a pair of wings similar in color with her hair while she held a staff in her hands.

Naruto took a look at them for a moment before quickly firing a salvo of magic attacks straight at them. The creatures shrug them off before jumping right at him and he quickly jump back to avoid them, he could see dark tendrils creeping around them and the sorcerer looks back at the female with wings

"I take it this is your doing Caster"

The female nodded for a moment before chirping out "yep, it was a little hard to get the materials since these people don't care much about anything from a heretic like me but I manage well as you can see"

The blond hummed for a moment before he said outloud "not bad considering how frugal these fools are considering their fake beliefs"

Here he held both hands and gathered power within them before finishing off his sentence "but then again arrogance is the cause for every downfall"

In one move he slammed the ball towards the ground and everyone there saw the world turn to glass, there everyone there now saw that they were now surrounded by more soldiers and with them were Storm, Wolverine, Colossus, Jean, Alexander and Caster

The Purifiers were now back to back as they now see themselves being outnumbered and maybe outgunned, Naruto then slowly walked back towards where he stood before as Lancer stand ready for another fight. The Sorcerer Supreme looks at Stryker coldly as he summoned two swords in hand before saying "let's try this again shall we"
