Inside the Holy Grail

"You're really proud of this batch of misfits you call servants aren't you?"

"Considering I'm the one of the only ones of us that didn't summon the King of Knights I'd say yes brother"

"Foor the last time, we aren't brothers."

"Whatever you say, just know, my iteration of this war is going to blow yours out of the water"

"Hehehe, sure..."

Elsewhere

"I still don't see why we couldn't have those guys join us," Rider told his master as they walked down the Fuyuki streets.

"I told you Rider, we can't let outsiders know about thhe Grail War. You're just lucky I was able to hypnotize them or we may have had to..." Waver trailed off, not wanting to think about what might have happened.

"All these freakin' rules! Well that settles it, we'll have to look for crewmates among the masters and servants!" Rider exclaimed loudly before thrusting his fists into the air.

"Dumbass! There's no way the other masters will go along with that, how can they get their wish granted if they follow you?" Waver said in an annoyed manner.

Rider tilted his head and gave his master a look as if the answer was obvious "Well simple, if it can grant any wish can't I wish for all of our wishes to be granted?" He told his master, who was about to respond but instead reeled back in realization.

""Would that work? I know some servants have to die but that doesn't necissarily mean we can't make such a pact with at least one other pair." Waver mentally noted Rider's idea, any assistance they could get would greatly improve their chances of victory.

"Say, what is your wish anyway master?"

Waver was brokken from his line of thought by the sudden question. "I just want everyone in the Clocktower and The Mages Assosiation to acknowledge me. It's so infuriating, being told I'll never amount to anything just because my family is only a few generatins old. So I'll just use the grail to-" Waver was suddenly interrupted by a fist to the face

"DUMBASS!" Rider screamed at Waver while pointing a finger at him. "If you want to be Acknowledged then you just have to fight hard, harder than anyone else, until they have no choice but to acknowledge you! And if they don't, kick their freakin' ass!" Rider spoke with conviction thhat Waver was taken aback for a moment before responding.

"You're the dumbass! Don't you think I've tried that!? It doesn't work damn it! Besides what's your wish?" Waver said, fuming with anger.

"I'm gonna sail with my friends again, that isn't a wish, that's a promise! We'll sail again and there's no way I'll die on them again!" Rider yelled at Waver. "I know I'll win this war because they all believed in me and I'm sure they still do, and I believe in you too Master, you can be the best, win this war, and get your heart's desire, if you couldn't I never would have let you join my crew!"

Forgetting for a moment that Rider had forced Waver to join his crew, Waver simply stared at his servant with his mouth agape.

"He really believes in me?" Waver thought. Waver could feel Rider's words making him feel powerful and confident, as if he could do anything if Rider had his back.

"Rider I... let's go home. I need some time to think of a plan if we want to contest with all the other servants," Eaver told hiis servant with a hint of a smile on his lips.

"Ehhhh, why not? Just make sure there's some food there!" The Straw Hat Servant said with a smile as he followed hiis master home.

Elswhere (In an alley in Fuyuki)

"Alright you stupid cunt, Give me everything you got and maybe I'll just rough you up a little instead of having a bit more fun with you," A thuggish man in a hood said as he pointed a gun at a young woman, who was shaking as her back was against the wall of the alley.

"Hey, that's not very nice of you now is it?" A cheery voice called out from the entry of the alley.

Caster stood there with a grin plastered on his face as Ryuunosuke stood next to him and seemed to be itching for some exitement.

"Hey freak, why don't you and your friend move along and head to the renaissanse fair," the thug said. Then, to accentuate his point he aimed his gun at the pair.

"Nah," Caster began as he slowly walked towards the man. "I think what I'll do instead is roast you alive," he continued before a red tome matterialized in his hand.

The thug seemed unnerved by Caster's sudden summoning of the book but still managed to pull the trigger of his gun while shouting, "Get the FUCK away, freak!"

The bullet sailed true and smashed against caster's forehead. However all this did was cause the servant to giggle menacingly, which turned into full on laughter before caster squealed in joy.

"I'm gonna kill you!"

"W-what the fuck!?" The thug yelled in disbelief before unloading the rest of his clip into the advancing servant while backpeddaling. The bullets all had the same effect of the first and before long the thug had an empty clip and his back was against the brick wall at the end of the alley.

"Fire," Caster spoke as he waved his hand and a ball of fire shot towards the thug, engulfing him instantly and causing him to roll on the ground while screaming in agonizing pain.

"Ahhh, gotta love that sound, right Ryuunosuke?" Caster spoke with a joyful look on his face as he listened to the man's cries.

"That was... SO COOL!" Ryuunosuke yelled in exitement as he ran up to Caster and clapped him on the back. "I can't believe it, did you see the look on his face before you killed him? That was great!"

The woman who was formerly being robbed simply held her mouth agape. On one hand she had been saved, but on the other she had two strangers talking about how pleasant a man's dying screams were. Not to mention that one of them was bulletproof. Still, they had saved her.

"T-Thank you s-sirs," The woman spoke with a small bow towards the pair.

Caster turned to face the woman before his smile widened.

"Anytime ma'am, we're here to help! Unless you're a no good thug like that gentleman over there," Caster told her.

The woman, not wanting to offend her (slightly unhinged) saviors, simply smiled and nodded before running out of the alley.

"She... actually thanked me for killing him? That... that did feel good actually," Ryuunosuke said, feeling something inside him that he had never felt before.

"See! I told you this good-guy stuff was awesome!" Caster said with a clap to Ryuunosuke's back.

"I'm still not sure I want to just do this though," Ryuunosuke said, causing Caster's ever present smile to falter a bit. "But besides that, how the heck did you light that guy on fire!?" Ryuunosuke asked the spellcasting Servant.

"It was just a bit of magic, not even a very strong spell either. You can do simmilar things with your magic can't you?" Caster asked his master.

"...I can do magic?"

"Wha- how- you-... Of course you can! You summoned me already, didn't you?"

"Cool! Could you show me something then? I want to learn magic just like you Caster!" Ryuunosume said energeticly.

"Well I myself can't, the magic in your world works ever so slightly different from in mine. However... there's this Grail War going on, stick around me while I fight it, I guarantee we'll find more people to have 'fun' with and a mage frim this world to show you some things," Caster told his exitable master.

"Sure thing man! Murder and magic here I come!" Ryuunosuke yelled, thrusting both fists in the air.

Elsewhere (A house in Fuyuki)

The woman from the alley sighed as she opened to her appartment.

"Hey Taiga! Did anythinng interesting happen in town today?" Her roommate called out to her as she walked into the small two bedroom.

"I'm learning self defense!" The woman shouted as she walked into her room and shut the door, leaving her roommate very confused.

"Why diid this crazy stuff have to happen to me of all people..." she sighed to herself.

"Still, that orange haired one was pretty cute," She silently thought.

Elsewhere (Outside Tohsaka Manor)

"You know your role Assassin?" Kirei asked his servant while they stood in the woods outside the manor.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah. Sneak into the manor and kill Tohsaka," The servant of shadows said. "Honestly, if stealth is your goal the grail gave you the wrong Assassin buddy," Assassin noted before jumping through the trees towards the manor.

"Clearly," Kirei remarked dryly as his servant left.

Assassin quickly reached the manor and jumped over the gate. As he fell he thrust hiis hand out towards a jewel sitting on a pedastal in the flowerbed. Said jewel exploded and Assassin landed in the garden. He then began sprinting through the garden while thrusting his hands out towards any jewels he saw.

"I wasn't lying though, I really don't fit this class all to well. Hell, maybe that idiotic grail mixed me up with that pissant Ling. I did manage to bring some of his Xingese stealth and acrobatics with me after all," Greed thought before doing a backflip over a gem and thrusting a hand towards it before it shattered.

"Eh, nothing to be done about it now, I'll just have to smack that cup around once I get my hands on it," Assassin remarked as he reached a large gem in the middle of the garden.

Assassin reared hiis hand back and was about to thrust before a loyd gunshit sounded off from the roof of the manor. Next thing Assassin knew his arm had been amputated from his body by a large caliber bullet.

"Oh, don't worry Assassin, you won't even get to see the Grail, much less 'smack it around'". The servent of the bow said with a bloodlusted smile on her face.

"What the hell you bit-" Assassin started but was quickly dropped to his belly as his leg from the knee down was bloalwn off.

"Oh, I'm sorry, did I break your train of thought?" Archer asked with a giggle. "Say, you look like a tastly little morsel when you're squirming on the ground like that. I think I'll take a bite!"

All of a sudden a mass of black energy covered Archer's left arm. Assassin's eyes grew wide in disbelief. The dark energy then shoot towards Assassin and engulfed his entire body. Loud yet muffled screams sounded from inside the mass of energy before it compressed with a bloody splash and a sickening crunch.

The energy retracted and Archer licked her lips before leveling her giant rifle and blowing away all of the familiars in the area.

Archer then stepped inside of the manor where her master was calmly waiting for her.

"Excellent show Archer, you truly are a remarkable servant,"" Tokiomi said to his servant.

"I live only to serve master," Archer said to her master.

"What of Assassin?" Tokiomi questioned.

Archer merely held up her hand, which was holding a small red stone. She nonchalantly threw the stone to the ground. Once it landed the stone began to crackle with red electricity before flesh started forming around it. The flesh took the form of Assassin.

The newly reformed servant turned his head to face Archer and scowled. "A little overkill don't you think?" He asked his fellow servant.

"I was simply making sure your death loked believable," Archer replied with a wicked smile.

"It's true. We had to make your death look as legitimate as possible. Hense why I overloaded the gems in my garden with prana to make it appear as if you destroyed them," Tokiomi told Assassin matter-of-factly.

"Whatever you say psychos," Assassin said before he turned and walked away.

"You are aware of you role, correct Assassin?" Tokiomi asked the servant befoore he left.

Assassin stopped and turned around. "Two things Tohsaka. One: Don't ever take that sort of high and mighty tone with me ever again. Two: I'll keep an eye on the other masters and servants but I refuse to stay in the shadows the whole war," he told the magus before astralizing.

"He'll be trouble, after he stops being useful we must put an end to him," Tokiomi noted before leaving.

"Oh, I find him very... amusing," Archer said plainly before astralizing herself.

Elsewhere (Home in Fuyuki)

"Yes!" Waver cried from his bed. Across the room his servant rider was watching a kids show about pirates with an abnormal amount of interest considering that Rider was over the age of ten.

"What is it Master?" Rider asked, turning his attention away from the television to look at his master.

"Assassin was killed! That's one more servant we don't have to deal with," Waver told his servant exitedly.

"DAMN IT!" The servant cried in rage.

"W-whaaat?" Waver reeled at the response from his servant.

"If he's dead that's one less possible member of my crew! It also means one less servant to fight!" Rider told his master angrily.

"But Assassin is adept at stealth kills, something like that would be devastating to a fighter like you who prefers a upfront confrontation," Waver explained to his fuming Servant.

"Nope! We're going out right now, to recruit the other servants before they al get killed!" The bold yet dense servant told his master before grabbing him and jumping out the nearby window.

"Rider we're gonna fall," Waver told his Servant who replied with a grin.

"Straw Hat Crew: Merry!" Rider called, causing a small rowboat to form beneath them.

Once they landed Waver took a quick look at the boat. It was actually a fairly simple rowboat with one defining feature. A cartoonish looking ram's head carved into the front of the boat.

"It's so great to see you again Merry! Time to go look for another adventure," Rider spoke to the rowboat.

Merry then started to fly forward and up, causing Waver to grip the neck of the ram's head for dear life.

"Please don't let me die falling off of a flying rowboat," Waver prayed to any diety that would listen before Merry took off at full speed and Waver could be heard crying into the night sky.

Elsewhere (Fuyuki Docks)

Saber and Irisviel walked cautiously through the docks while keeping an eye out for the servant that had issued the challenge earlier.

"Hard to believe someone would try this so early. We had barely settled in the manor when I felt that enourmous burst of prana," Saber thought to himself as he guided Irisviel through the crates.

"Saber, make sure to be cautious. We don't know what sort of servant issued that challenge but we know they're powerfull." Kiritsugu spoke to his servant mentally before using a cell phone to contact Maiya.

"Maiya, can you see any positions where we can moniter the docks?" He asked his assistant

"Perhaps that crane. That or the wharfs," Maiya replied simply.

"The Wharfs it is then, the crane is too obvious a spot. It's likely that if Archer heard the challenge she'll set up there," Kiritsugu told her before moving to the east wharf and instructing Maiya to take the West.

"Just remember Saber, if you find the enemy too difficult to defeat, simply call out to Soldier and she will assist. I'd prefer if we could save this potential ambush for later though," Kiritsugu added via his mental link with the servant.

Irisviel's own servant was in hiding some distance away from the ally servant and her master. She was laying on top of a shippimg container, her black armor blending with the dark metal. She held in her hands a large caliber sniper rifle with a large square shaped scope.

"Be safe out there Master, just know I'll be covering you in case anything bad happens, and don't worry, unlike a certain ex-boyfriend slash AI buddy of mine, I actually hit my targets," Soldier thought too her master, with a slight hint of humor at the latter half of her statement.

Irisviel, while confused about the ex-boyfriend part, appreciated her servant's attempts to make her feel safe.

"Thank you Soldier. Don't worry too much, I'm sure Saber can protect me from one servant easily," she told her servant through their link.

Saber and Irisviel both continued in silence for a while before they halted upon coming across an enemy.

The red haired servant of the lance stood ready in the middle if a open area in the docks. She held her spear in a two handed grip and her shield was currently on her back not being used. Upon seeing the master and servant pair arrive she smiled and offered a warm greeting.

"Welcome, you must be servant Saber and Master, I am Lancer. I wish we could meet outside the field of battle but... we were summoned for a reason," she offered to Saber, who smiled back.

"I feel the same, hopefully we can learn a bit more about each other by crossing blades," the servant of the sword said before drawing his black blade.

"If you don't mind, I know we are supposed to keep our names secret but the servant title Saber seems so impersonal. Is there anything else I may call you?" Lancer asked her opponent.

"Well... I did earn the title Black Swordsman while I was alive. I'm afraid that's all I can tell you though," Saber replied graciously.

"That is fine then. If I had such a noble title I would tell you of mine but alas I was simply a huntress," Lancer replied.

"Your modesty is refreshing," Saber said, while simultaineously trying to figure out what manner of creature she became a heroic spirit for hunting.

Lancer's smile turned into a look of determination as she leveled her spear.

Saber took the meaning and held his sword in an attack stance. Both servants stood motionless for a few moments before charging forward at the exact same time. Sword and Spear clashed, and the first battle of the Holy Grail War began.

Elsewhere (Inside the Holy Grail)

"Hmph, I suppose your war may be interesting after all."

"Of course, these warriors are some oof the best I found across all dimensions.

"Considering we are one and the same being, I don't see why you're trying to one-up me."

"Because unlike you I have no mad scythe wielding psychopath to keep me company. Ergo, I. Am. Bored.

"Meh, you'll get used to it."

Omake: Alternate Summon: Berserker

Kariya and Zouken stood with mouths agape at the servant that stood before them.

The said servant looked... plain. He wore a yellow jumpsuit with a white cape, as well as red boots and cloves. His most defining features, were his bald shiny head and brown eyes which looked very bored, as if this man had seen no exitement for years.

"Bwahahahahaha! This servant is rediculous! I knew you were a failure but to summln something so pathetic!? Bwahahahahahaha!" A laughing fit overtook Zouken as he mocked Kariya.

The servant took no mind and simply looked at Kariya.

"I'm Berserker and you're my master right?" The bald man asked Kariya, who simply nodded his head in shame of the state of his servant.

"Damn it! I'll never save Sakura with a servant like this!" Kariya moaned as tears welled up in his eyes.

Berserker simply tilted his head.

"You want to see my power right?" Berserker asked, taking a few steps towards the still laughing Zouken.

Kariya looked up to see just what the servant meant as Berserker threw a single punch without much effort put into it. As soon as it hit Zouken it blew his body into bloody worm chunks as well as turning half the estate into rubble.

Kariya was shocked as his servant smiled and wiped the blood off of his glove.

"Well, hopefully this war has ssome opponents who can challenge me." Berserker stated.

Kariya simply smiled with joy as he knew Sakura would be free soon.

And so Kariya saved the daughter oof the woman he loved and Berserker, known in life as Saitama, was dissapointed to find the Holy Grail could not summon a suitable opponent for him.

So there we have it, the second chapter, hopefully this one is well recieved.

Caster: Yeah, good feedback helps give the author here motivation so that always helps.

Saitama: And criticism can help him improve. Hope you all enjoy and tune in next time.
