AN:
After reading the reviews, I noticed that a lot of people are still under the impression that these are ancestors, Jaune's ancestors, Nora's ancestors, etc. I guess I have to lay it out straight here.
Team JNPR does not exist in this AU as they do in the canon.
What do I mean by this? The Saber, Rider, and Archer that you see here are Jaune, Nora, and Ren, as they exist in this AU. As well as Lancer, and I'm sure all of you already who it is.
With that said, enjoy the chapter.

Ozpin burst into the school clinic, having forgone his cane and coffee cup. His eyes were wild as he looked at a pacing Glynda and Bartholomew, who was hunched over against a wall absently fiddling with his eye glasses. Neither of them acknowledged the headmaster's entrance and he bit his lip hoping to better control his fear.
"H-How is he?" The headmaster asked, praying for the best.
Glynda stopped moving and looked at him. "I-I don't know. I did my best to heal what I could, but..." she looked down and to the side as her voice died off. Ozpin walked over and put a hand on her shoulder.
"It's alright. You did what you could under the circumstances." She nodded, before stepping away and returning to her pacing. She didn't return Ozpin's gaze, which was alright as he shifted his attention and began walking towards the other occupant of the room. "Bartholomew, are you alright?"
"I'm...not sure." He said causing Ozpin to frown. Whatever happened to make a usually fast talking man like Bartholomew act this way must have been very serious. Very rarely does anyone see him speaking below twenty words a second and it made Ozpin wish he had brought coffee.
"It was that..." Bartholomew lifted his head as if to look at his boss but stopped halfway and stared as if he was seeing things only he could. "I don't know how to describe it. When that...beast came for me, it felt like I was a student again, taking on my first Grimm. The pure... the pure hatred."
Ozpin watched as Bartholomew fell silent, still peering into his fresh memories.
Before the headmaster could find words to comfort his friend, the doors swung open and the school doctor came out. All three looked up at him, hope riding on his words. The doctor nodded.
"He'll be out for a few days, you have done well, Miss Goodwitch. And the strike, as severe as it was, wasn't aiming to kill. Mr. Port will be alright, I can assure you."
With that, the relief that flooded the three threatened their legs to the point that self-discipline was the only thing that forced them to stay upright. As the doctor walked away, the headmistress and the slender huntsman looked at each other, knowing about the second elephant in the room.
"What is the plan regarding Velvet Scarlatina?" Goodwitch asked, hoping that the brute hadn't harmed her in anyway.
"I've already called for some hunters on duty to come and try to track Miss Scarlatina. And I will be personally joining the expedition should they find her." Ozpin said, his eyes gleaming with cool anger.
"What about her team, CVFY? You know that they will not just sit back while their teammate is out there in that monster's clutches." Glynda said, making Ozpin's anger disappear as he forced himself to take his mind off his friend's condition and onto the question that Glynda had posed.
"I know, but as skilled as CVFY is, I'm afraid that monster is far from anything that they have been trained for. If they ask, I offer my apologies, but they cannot come."
"They will not like that decision."
"If they don't, they can look at that video that has been going viral and judge for themselves." Ozpin said, knowing that was a whole other can of worms that would needed to be opened.
"And what about the other one? He disappeared before we could apprehend him." Bartholomew spoke up.
Ozpin pursed his lips. "For now, he is to be treated as a neutral. We will make further judgments of his character, and if they are favorable...we will offer an alliance with him."
As Glynda and Bartholomew nodded, Ozpin let his shoulders slump a bit.
It seemed that peace was at an end, and they were about to experience a storm.
Velvet tried to control her stomach as this... this monster carried her in his arms. He jumped across the forest, peaking above the canopy before falling back to the ground, and repeating the process since they had left Beacon. It was like a rollercoaster. Problem was Velvet had never been good with rollercoasters, and the way that he was jumping, it felt like her stomach was leaping into her throat. All she could do was hold on and hope that the ride would be over soon. Or better yet, that the nightmare would end soon and she would wake up and find this all to be some crazy dream.
If only she could slip into ignorance again...
Velvet stared up at the stars, avoiding his face and trying desperately not to cry. It was just a simple ritual, something that could make her less lonely, that she could have one more friend to count on. Instead, she was now on the run, responsible for attacking and hurting Professor Port, all because of the monster carrying her. No doubt that Blake and Ruby reported her to Ozpin, and she was already on the wanted list. Just...
"Stop."
Just as they hit the ground, he crouched down, forcing all the momentum onto his legs. The two were still, the howling of a single Beowulf leading other howls being the only sounds in the background. He was staring at her, at least that was what she assumed that he was doing behind that mask of his.
She tried to get out of his arms, only for him to tighten his hold. Looking up, she saw his head tilt up and down. Before she tried to ask, one of his hands appeared and moved closer to her cheek. It was when his fingers touched her, more gently than she could comprehend, that she flinched and realized that there was a bruise there, back when Ruby's friend tried to ram his weapon down her throat, only...
Still wanting to get out of his arms, Velvet began to struggle more, not that it did anything. The beast stood back up and walked over to the nearest tree and sat them against it. Velvet's ire began to grow as tears openly flowed down her cheeks and her brain started to catch up with processing everything that had happened. The summoned warrior took notice of her tears, and moved to dry her face with his hand.
Even with the mask covering his eyes, Velvet had seen his frown on others enough to know that he was concerned.
And that made her angry.
Before she could think about it, Velvet's hand lashed out, slapping the Beast right on the cheek. The blow didn't even move him, but it was enough for him to forget his grip. She quickly stood up and put several feet in between them as she waved her hand back and forth, hoping to relieve some of the pain in it. The slap seemed to hurt her more than him, but that thought quickly went out the window when she realized that her kidnapper hadn't made a sound.
Slowly, as if she were fighting herself, Velvet turned to look at the man. She realized what she had just done, and her ire very quickly devolved into fear. It rooted her to where she was standing and made her ignore most of her combat training. Never mind the small voice, almost inaudible because of all the blood rushing to her ears, which told her to run for all she was worth. It really was the fight or flight decision that stopped her from doing anything else. She had seen his speed and his strength made the fact that she was unarmed entirely irrelevant. She knew she was doomed either way, but at least if she saw him she might survive a second or two longer.
She blinked when he was fully in her sights. Paused a beat and then blinked again.
His eyes were still hidden, but his mouth slightly hung open as he seemed to stare at him. Not a muscle on him moved as he sat there looking up at here. They stood still for a minute and Velvet had gotten the impression that he was waiting. For what, for her to hit him again? For an explanation? At that, Velvet's own mouth opened in surprise. He looked like a puppy that was waiting to be scolded for something he can't seem to understand. Did he honestly not know what he had done?
The fear very quickly became anger again.
"STOP THAT!" Velvet screamed, her tears freely flowing again. It snapped her kidnapper out of whatever trance he was in. He stood up quickly when he noticed that she was distressed again and walked to her in less steps than Velvet thought he could. He reached out to her face again, however this time, Velvet stepped back and she used both her hands to push his one away. She didn't manage to push it much, but he dropped his arm as soon as he got her meaning. He didn't move away however and he continued to stare at her, mouth slightly agape.
"Will you stop staring at me like that?!" Velvet slender frame began to tremble as she struggled to contain all the feelings that developed since this whole catastrophe started.
"Like…" she started to hyperventilate. But she couldn't stop now. She was in middle of a forest that she couldn't even remember the name of. Alone aside from the unknown amount of Grimm and her kidnapper who could make rabbit stew out of her but hasn't because he's staring at her like she should teach him left from right. What's worse is that even if she did get away, she couldn't return to Beacon because he had attacked her friends. And this man still kept looking at her like it was an unfathomable concept for her to be mad at him.
"DO YOU EVEN KNOW WHAT YOU'VE DONE?!" Velvet screamed as she stepped up to him.
"BECAUSE OF YOU... BECAUSE OF YOU... PROFESSOR PORT IS HURT! WHY! WHY DID YOU DO THAT!? HE IS A NICE MAN! AND I HAD FRIENDS! ACTUAL FRIENDS! I ACTUALLY HAD READONS TO BE THERE! TO BE ME! VELVET! NOT To Be FREAK or Faunus BITCH OR...Or... or"
Velvet closed her eyes and inhaled. She bit her lip, holding her breath and the tears. Her throat was sore and her lungs were burning because she had never risen her voice so high or for so long before. A gasp escaped her and without thinking, she sunk to her knees, and buried her face in her hand as she cried. A few moments afterwards she vaguely heard the crunch of grass being crushed underfoot, before a hand laid itself on her shoulder. The man began to rub her back and making indistinct shushing sounds in an attempt to relax her. At that, she only sobbed harder.
She didn't know what was worse, the fact that she was now friendless in this world again, or that she had this...monster by her side.
The room was quiet as Team RWBY sat in the dark, still wide awake after the chaos that had just happened down in the courtyard. Ruby's knee bounced as she looked out of their window, while Blake stared straight in front of them. Sitting on the other side of the room, Weiss and Yang were looking over the book with wide astonished eyes, absorbing the information. Once they were done looking, they closed the book and set it to the side, Weiss looking apprehensive while Yang sat next to her, staring at nothing. After a brief moment, Weiss sighed.
"To think that it actually worked... Unbelievable." Weiss wondered out loud as she rubbed her hand on her command seal.
Ruby's knee stopped as she looked at her own seal. "I hope Saber's alright. Berserker looked tough..."
"I'm sure he's alright. According to that book, Command Seals do not go away unless either the Servant or Master dies." Blake said, before immediately looking at Yang. The blonde brawler glared back not even trying to hide her anger.
"WHAT!?" Yang shot up, hitting her head on the top bunk. She moved from under it to stand in the middle of the room without acknowledge the bump she may be getting. "You mean, my sister is now in danger from getting attacked by other masters, AND other servants?!"
"I'm afraid so..." Blake closed her eyes and sighed. "And before you ask," She continued, opening her eyes to look at her partner, "there was nothing in the book saying how to transfer command seals over."
Yang deflated at that, the suggestion for her and Ruby to switch dying on her tongue. "Really?"
Blake only nodded.
"So..." Weiss spoke up gathering everyone's attention, "we know that the summoning thing is real, but what about that other thing? I mean, one wish, for anything in the world? Who actually thinks that's a real thing?" she waved her hand dismissively.
Yet no one stopped the silence that sprang up, each person thinking of what they would truly do with a wish.
Ruby wringed her hands. Weiss and Blake looked down at the ground. Yang once again stared off into space.
It was at this point that Ruby got up from her seat, something burning in her eyes.
"Team, I think we've got our next mission. For the safety of the world, and to make sure that no one evil or dastardly gets the wish, we have to win this battle!" Ruby nodded to herself, resolute in her course. The rest of the team looked at her, before Weiss shook her head.
"Ruby, don't you think that this should be brought to the teachers or the faculty. At least headmaster Ozpin? I mean, this is...this is more than we can handle. We are basically going into a war, Ruby, with forces that are far above what we've been trained for. You think we can handle this?"
Ruby rubbed her head. "Yeah, I mean...that book did say that the Grail chooses who it thinks is worthy, right? Besides, it's not like we're going into this alone. We got Saber, and whoever you're going to summon. I think we got a chance."
Weiss snorted. "Yeah, by the way, do you even know where he is at this moment?"
Ruby frowned and began to walk in a circle as she started to think of where she would go if she were summoned to a different time. Then she looked to the side and saw Saber's transparent head coming through the door. She blinked as Saber locked eyes with her.
"AHHH!" Ruby jumped and landed in her chair knocking it over. She quickly got back feet and stared at the door, still seeing the warrior. "GHOST!"
"Ruby, what's going on?!" Yang exclaimed as she saw her sister scream at the air. Weiss and Blake tensed, unsure of what Ruby was seeing, yet still held themselves cautiously. At her team's exclamations, Ruby pointed towards the door.
"HE'S A GHOST! DON'T YOU SEE HIM!?"
The three looked around, before looking back at Ruby, some concern starting to grow.
"Ruby, there's nothing here. Are you sure you're fine?" Blake asked.
Ruby shook her head. "NO, he must hate me and NOW HE WANTS MY HEAD!" Ruby screamed as she pressed up against the wall still locking eyes with Saber.
The servant opened his mouth, "Master-"
"WHAT WAS THAT?!" Weiss shouted, trying to control herself.
"I'm sure that must have been the wind..." Yang chuckled nervously, but not letting down her guard.
As Saber stepped through the door, Ruby gulped as she saw the rest of Saber's transparent body. It was official, her servant was a ghost. Saber looked around the room, taking note of every detail, before his eyes landed on Weiss. He stopped as he blinked, his mouth hanged slightly open.
"WEISS, HE'S STARING AT YOU!" Ruby screamed, now pointing at her partner.
Weiss' head snapped to Ruby, red now dusting her cheeks. "HE'S WHAT?!"
Hearing Weiss scream, Saber shook his head before turning to Ruby. "Master, I'm not dead."
"OH NO, HE'S ACTING LIKE BRUCE WILLIS FROM SIXTH SENSE!"
Unsure of what to make of that, Saber shook his head again, before making himself visible. "Master, I'm not dead." He said, ignoring WBY's reactions of a man appearing in their room.
Ruby blinked. "Oh...uh sorry."
Saber rubbed the back of his head. "It's alright."
Yang stepped in front of her sister in her battle pose, "Wait, so ignoring the fact that he just appeared out of nowhere, why is he calling my sister 'master'?"
Blake grabbed her arm, but also moved in front of their leader. "Control yourself, Yang."
No one moved and team RWBY took this moment to take in Saber's features. He looked to be around his late thirties and at least a head taller than everyone in the room with a five-o clock shadow that added to his aura of a mature adult. His blonde hair was the color of wheat, and was as wild and unkempt as the uncontrolled growth of the forest. His eyes were as blue as sapphire, exhibiting a sharpness that made everyone who stared into it shiver.
Then Weiss frowned as she crossed her arms.
"So...you were staring at me?"
Saber blinked, before looking to the side. Team RWBY collectively lifted an eyebrow at the sight of a Heroic Spirit looking bashful.
"Sorry, you just reminded me of someone. That's all."
Weiss stared at him, before accepting his answer. By then, Ruby had accepted his presence and stepped around her teammates, closer to him. She looked up at him. Saber returned her look with a stare, before stepping back and bowing his head.
"Upon your summoning, Servant Saber has answered your call." Saber looked up with a small smile. "And you are my master."
Ruby stared, not exactly sure what to say. It seemed like there was a million things she wanted to say, so many things she wanted to ask. Who was he? What was his real name? What kind of weapon did he wield? Could they be friends? Could she be called something other than master? She's never been called master before and it was pretty uncomfortable. Finally, Ruby decided to just go with whatever she felt like doing first.
"I'mgoingtogetsomething!" With that blur of words, Ruby sped past Saber and out the door, the only thing left in her wake was a cloud of rose petals. Saber took a moment to readjust before turning around to face the door. He then turned to her teammates.
"Was that her semblance?"
Weiss and Blake nodded, before noticing that Yang was staring intently at Saber. The Blonde Brawler then walked closer, before looking him over. Saber stood still, unsure of what she wanted from him, but willing to let her do what she wanted.
Yang crossed her arms. "My sister's cute, isn't she?"
Saber raised an eyebrow at the question, before nodding. "She's certainly...lovely."
Yang frowned. "So what's with all this master stuff?"
Saber wasn't sure what the blonde was going with her questioning. Still, if she was sharing a room with his master, she must been someone that was trusted. If Master trusted her enough that she left him alone in the room with her, then he suppose he could trust her. Perhaps not fully, obviously, but with something.
"Master is the one that anchors my existence to this world, and with the command seals on her hand, she could command me to do anything."
Saber paused when he saw that the three in the room had different reactions. The blonde nodded, whatever thoughts she had satisfied. The one dressed in white rubbed her chin, now contemplating what he realized was the command seal on her hand. It looked inactive, so she must have not have summoned her servant yet. Considering the circumstances, she must have struck an alliance with his master. Taking that info in mind and ignoring how remarkably similar to...her, he then turned his attention to the black themed girl, who seemed to be staring at him with a look of horror, before she hid it under a neutral mask. Something about him must have bothered her, or was it something that he said? Wait...
Saber's eyes narrowed.
Did her bow just twitch?
Before he could make any other thoughts, Ruby had reappeared, something in both of her hands. She presented him with one of them. It was this small brown circular disk with darker brown bits that looked almost black. Was she offering it to him?
Taking what he assumed was a gift, he looked at it. Noting with the disk's composition, he could easily crush it in his hands. Was it food? Must be. His master certainly was looking at him as if he was expecting to eat it. Deciding not to reject her graciousness, he took a bite into the disk.
It was certainly a favor that he hadn't during his lifetime, he thought as he chewed. It was chewy, sort of like bread, but hardened to the point of having a crunch to it. Whatever the sweetness was coming from, whether it was from the whole thing or the bits that were embedded into it, it wasn't the same sweetness one got from eating a berry. It was more of a subtle sweetness that became more pronounced over time as he chewed it rather than the tangy explosion from fruits
"Umm...Do you like it?" Ruby asked, digging her toe into the ground. Even though her head was angled at the floor, he could see her eyes looking at him with a mix of apprehension and hope. The crumbs around her mouth told him about the fate of the other disk. "The cookie, I mean."
"So that's what you call it?" Saber said as he allowed himself to process the new name for the food he was holding in his hand. "Why do you called it that? I know you must have cooked it, but why is it called a cookie?"
Ruby took a deep breath as she raised her finger, before exhaling as she dropped it, looking terribly contemplative as she rubbed her chin. Saber waved her off as he took another bite.
"It was merely a question, master. Do not worry about it. As for whether I like it..." It was different, but it was good. Saber nodded to himself as he reached that conclusion. Swallowing his bite, he looked down at his cookie, which had already been reduced to half. Saber popped the rest in his mouth, and began to chewing. Then he looked back at his master.
"It is good. Thank you, master." He said, smiling earnestly.
The way she looked at him with admiration and stars in her eyes, his smile faded as he did his best to hide his discomfort. Looking for a way to hide it better, he remembered the other person in the room that had command seals and looked at her.
"I suppose you will be summoning your own servant soon?" He asked.
The girl nodded, "When the next night comes."
Saber gave a curt nod as he began to think of the best combinations that could happen that would both be beneficial during their alliance and their final battle. Assassin was, dare he say it, one of the best choices. While he drew attention on the battlefield, Assassin could easily move to kill the other masters when they were distracted. The problem would come during the final battle, should it occur and both made it. Assassin could easily make that play. It would simply come down to how fast either to get to the other master.
There were other servants to consider that could appear. Caster might be another good choice, providing long range support, and if their item construction was high, even give their master some reinforcement should they fight. Archer was another good one, if for the long range support as well. So many possible combinations that would come the next night. And there was the fact that his blade, as wise and swift as it was, was still dull...
"S-Saber?"
Saber snapped out of it and looked back at Ruby, who looked at him concerned.
"I'm fine, just trying to think about what servant would be the best combination."
With that, awkwardness and silence returned.
Not a moment later Yang stretched and yawned.
"Well, I don't know about you guys, but I think whatever we've done today, it's done. I'm going to bed." She said as she began walking towards her bed.
Blake nodded and started to prepare for sleep, Weiss doing the same soon after.
Ruby however, looked at Saber, who was walking towards the door. "Saber, you're leaving?"
Saber turned to face her. "Yes, I believe you would like your privacy. Do not worry, master. I do not require sleep, so I will guard."
"R-Ruby." Ruby said, looking down at the ground.
"What was that?" Saber asked.
"C-Can you call me Ruby?"
Saber frowned. "Master, there is a reason why I refer to myself as Saber, and it is the same why I refer to you as Master. Information is power in the Holy Grail War, and the more we keep secret, the much better chance we have of winning. And with a prize like the Holy Grail, I can assure you that people will go to any length to obtain... Do you understand what I'm saying, master?"
Ruby stared, before nodding and biting her lip. "I understand."
Saber frowned, but nodding.
"Good night...Ruby."
"There it is...We are getting to be so daring, huh Emmy?" Mercury whispered as he and Emerald stood on top of a building overlooking the small Dust store, From Dust Till Dawn.
"Well, as Caster said, at least half of the servants that she's going up against can probably beat her in a fair fight, and one of them could be coming to this city soon. So we're going to need everything we can get." Emerald explained as she put on her gloves.
"Don't get me wrong," Mercury said as he slipped a ski mask on. "I know that. Still, from pickpocketing to stealing dust. Pretty big leap in what we do. Did she ever tell you what we're planning do with the dust that we're taking here?"
Emerald tilted her head to her partner. "She said she needs this in order to create something special for the two of us."
"Well…" Mercury smirked as the duo finished their preparations, "I do love surprises."
"Hey, Saber?" Ruby asked as she sat on her bunk, looking at Saber who was standing behind Weiss in the center of the room. A whole day had passed since everything that happened at the courtyard and the team had more or less became comfortable around the heroic spirit. Though it was obvious that he was still uncomfortable with referring to his master by her given name.
"Yes... Ruby?" Saber looked up from watching Weiss drawing the summoning circle with Blake's assistance to give her his attention.
"Why am I seeing stats on you, and why are you higher than last night?"
Saber rubbed his chin, before looking back at Ruby. "Master-"
Ruby pursed her lips.
"Ruby." Saber sighed, "What do you see now?"
Ruby concentrated, narrowing her eyes and leaned closer to Saber.
"I see...Strength's B, Agility's C. Endurance and Mana are A, Noble Phantasm's C. Sealed, and Luck's D…" Ruby giggled. "What does any of that mean?"
"Yes… Master those-" At Ruby's frown Saber rubbed the back of his head before nodding. "Ruby, those are my physical capabilities, so remember to keep them secret."
She nodded, smiling.
"Also, when you saw Berserker, did you see anything...special about him?"
Ruby shivered, remembering...him, before thinking back. "Yeah, they were called... 'Mad Enhancement' and 'Hate of the Oppressed'."
Saber stared at Ruby for a moment. "You sure that was the other one. Other than Mad Enhancement?"
Ruby nodded, Saber frowned and cupped his chin.
"I know of that. That skill belongs to heroes that have experienced and witnessed oppression done by the hand of another group. As such, their hate is so great, it affects all heroes belonging to that group."
Ruby stared. "You mean-"
"According to him, all humans must be responsible." Saber shook his head. "And if I'm mistaken, there is another thing that makes Berserker a threat."
"What do you mean by that?" Yang asked as she walked over towards her sister and leaned against the beds.
"During my fight with him, his moves seemed too… fluid. They weren't mad or mindless, there was precision with that Berserker's strength. I think Berserker might also have Eternal Arms Mastership."
"What does that mean?" Ruby asked, her heart rate slowly increasing at the thought of that...thing getting more dangerous.
"Eternal Arms Mastership belongs to heroes who have such skill with their weapon, that even under mental impairment, like that of Mad Enhancement, their skill remains untouched."
"Wait." Weiss said as she turned to look at Saber.
Saber, Ruby and Yang looked over to see Weiss with her arms folded and Blake standing around the summoning circle, though Weiss in particular was looking more whiter than usual. "You mean that Berserker, who's supposed to be the strongest servant physically, is skilled with his sword, and can make other servants weaker?" She said.
Saber nodded. "And don't forget, that it can affect you as well. If what I've seen with Master and Blake."
Team RWBY stiffened at that. After all, this was one of five other opponents they would have to face, and that was hopefully if Weiss summoned someone good.
"Saber," Ruby's voice was quiet, being oppressed by the tension in the room, "c-can you train us?"
Yang and Weiss protested immediately but they were cut short when Saber spoke.
"...What do you intend to accomplish?" Saber asked, narrowing his eyes and a deep frown on his face.
"Well..." Ruby poked her fingers together and avoided eye contact with anyone, "the thought has been running around my head all day and if this is a war it helps to have more troops out there and if you trained us maybe we could-"
"I do not need help, Master." Saber said as he cut Ruby long winded sentence off.
"But-but-but," The red hooded girl opened her mouth to protest but stopped when Saber held up his hand.
"Let me clarify. I cannot train you to be adequately prepared to face Heroic Spirits in the time that we have. Do remember that Heroic Spirits have had a lifetime to hone their skills, time that you didn't have and which you will not have should try to face them. You will only be able to stand and defend yourself in case they try to attack you. Do not try to face them otherwise, understand?" Saber punctuated with a glare as he looked at Ruby and then to the rest of the team.
Ruby only nodded, already telling that this was Saber's stance on the matter.
"Alright then." Weiss said she turned around, back to the summoning circle. "Now that's cleared up… I guess it's time to summon my Servant." She finished with a sigh. The rest of the team stood on the sidelines, with Saber having a hand on his sword in case things went south again.
Just as Ruby's ritual, the circle began to glow intensely as Weiss read the incantation. Just like last time a light so bright that it forced team RWBY to look away bathed the room as she reached the pinnacle of the chant. As everyone's eyes adjusted, they turned back to see who was summoned.
Comparing Saber to her, he looked like a mutt.
Long crimson hair tied in a ponytail fell to the middle of her back. She wore a white toga underneath a bronze breast plate, shined and polished to the point that the people in front could see their reflection. Her sandals were accompanied with bronze shin guards and were just as lustrous. The bronze spear and shield that she wielded gleamed, looking entirely ready for battle. Finally, the Servant opened her eyes, revealing emerald green eyes that immediately shot towards Saber, already narrowed, calculating the best method for attack. Saber lifted his hands in the universal sign of surrender. Keeping an eye on him, she then turned her attention to Weiss, who stood stock still, mouth agape.
"Servant Lancer has answered your call." The summoned spirit's voice echoed across the walls. "Tell me, are you my master?"
Weiss closed her mouth and swallowed before nodding. "Yes, I am." She said, too mesmerized to acknowledge much else.
Vaguely she heard Ruby say, "I still think you're cool."
Saber whispered back, "What do you mean by that?"
AN:
There you go, all seven servants have been summoned.
