I could hear the fighting echoing outside as the boy before me began to reveal the truth of why I; why everyone was in this war.

"First of all let me introduce myself, I am Klaus, Klaus Crawford," he said as he paused gauging my reaction and interpreting my silence as shock. And then continued "Yes, my creators were from the very same Crawford family that are the leaders of your faction. Or more specifically my 'former' mistress Alice Crawford." He spoke as he spat at Alice's name in disgust. I could only stare at him in disbelief; Why didn't Alice tell us of her homunculus? Why wasn't there with her? And why would he betray her? I thought as I saw that venomous smile crease his lips.

As if reading my thoughts he said. "No need to ponder on those thoughts in your mind, my name itself was a joke on my mistresses German heritage. And she did anything but consider me to be a human being." I winced at the thought of myself abusing Kai; the whole idea made me sick to my stomach.

"How could she not consider you a human being?" I asked, afraid to find out the answer. He smiled and went to undo the cufflink on his sleeve as I caught sight of the Command Crest on his wrist. He smiled as he heard me gasp. "Yes that's right, Berserker maybe following lady Natalya's orders out there; however I am currently his Master."

My eyes went wide fearing for Saber and the others outside not knowing that even if they managed to capture or kill the woman giving Berserker orders that it would be pointless. As Klaus lifted his sleeve what I saw almost reminded me of the trials I had to go through as a child; although those were humane compared to the scars I saw on his arm coupled with the line of red glyphs on the skin. I stared at them trembling wondering why Alice would do such a thing to her own homunculus.

"I was nothing but a tool to Alice, an expendable plaything in her experiments and sadistic pleasures." Klaus said as he hissed at the memories. "When it came time for me to escape I fled to the Schwarzvild family, the leaders of the Black faction and they took me in. And so when the war began Alice gathered her own team of Masters including you evidently to pursue me."

It was in that moment, that my hatred for Alice Crawford had begun. And my hatred for the war in general grew more fierce. "So she cares nothing about the damn Holy Grail? Everyone's lives are in danger because she is happy to toss them away to get you back?!" I asked as I began clenching my fists in anger as tears dripped from my eyes.

Klaus tilted his head in confusion as he said. "Currently I doubt Alice really gives a damn about some holy cup, but if I may ask; why are you crying? Over me no less?" He asked as he saw my tears dripping to the floor.

"You…You saw Kai…my homunculus outside as you came in right?" I said as my whole body was trembling with hate. Hate for this stupid war, and hatred for the selfish spoiled bitch who had the lives of several Masters and Servants under her thumb; not even caring about the collateral damage that could occur. Klaus nodded staring at me with a curious expression on his face as he said.

"Yes…I did notice him as I infiltrated your home and color me curious if I may ask…why does he not live with you in your family's main home?" I gritted my teeth fighting back the murderous whispers seeping into my mind as I said. "Its because he wasn't created to be a damn lab rat…he was created to be our or…my brother….my caretaker if something happened to my family…" His eyes went wide with wonder as he rebuttoned his cufflink.

"You speak as if you love your homunculus…why would you love something that isn't truly human?" He said as his curiosity of me grew. Finally as a way to drive away the dark whispers torturing me all of my rage came spilling out. "Its because I DO love him! Its because he is my brother! And its because he is the only family I have left!" I roared as the tears streamed down my face. Klaus smiled as he walked towards me and cupped my cheek.

"You certainly are a fascinating one Saiya Misako…" he said as he took hold of my neck pressing two of his fingers into what felt like a vein or a nerve as before I knew it I was losing consciousness. The last thing I saw was him giving a sad smile before gently setting me down against the wall. "I've decided not to kill you today for you have piqued my interest…so do me a favor and would you kindly not die until our battle at the end of the war?" He said as darkness consumed me.

Saber ducked and weaved from Berserker's attacks as the mad man swung at her with his fists letting out a guttural roar. As much as she hated to admit it, Berserker was impressively fast for one of his size and so Kai's illusion magic was her saving grace at slowing him down. Three times now she had been wounded from powerful blows that should have snapped her spine and shattered her ribs. And three times was she saved by Kai's healing. However; the force from the attacks were beginning to take their toll on Saber as despite every fatal blow she delivered onto Berserker he seemed to barely flinch before attempting to brush her away.

She could tell the excessive mana use was affecting Kai as well as he intently watched Saber; sweat dripping down his face from using the illusion magic as he panted with exhaustion.

There must be some way to defeat him! Every fatal blow I've delivered has failed! Could he be of divine blood?! Saber thought as she heard Natalya laughing.

"That's right little butterfly! Flutter! Flutter all you want so Berserker can RIP them off even more!" She exclaimed with a maniacal smile on her face. That was when a boy appeared behind Natalya. Saber gasped as she looked at the boy and then Kai. He seemed to be having the same look on his face as well as they both stared at him. "That will be enough Berserker." He said as the bearded beast halted his fist an inch away from Saber and then looked at him.

Natalya's eyes went wide with horror as she turned and glared at him. "Klaus! How dare you shatter the deception! This was done on purpose so you could remain hidden!" He gave her a venomous smile as he grabbed her neck strangling her with one hand. "Truthfully that was the plan wasn't it? However lady Natalya I've grown tired of hearing you sleeping with and murdering your victims only for you to give Berserker to me." He said as he lifted a butterfly knife from his belt and twirled it in his hand as the blade came out.

As she saw the blade she struggled snarling but fearing for her life. "You traitor Klaus! I curse you! I curse you forever!" She yelled as Klaus dragged the blade across her throat cutting it open and dropping her body to the ground as she slowly bled to death while writhing in agony.

He bent over and looked down on her. "I'm afraid I already am cursed lady Natalya…although for what its worth Ill see to it the others know you died well…" He said as he smiled and looked over at Saber and Kai; his face and clothes covered in Natalya's blood.

"I apologize for troubling you all." He said politely as he took a bow. "Berserker and I will take our leave now, come along now Berserker we are leaving." He said turning to walk away as his Servant followed after him.

"What…What the hell…?!" Kai said as he stared after them and at Natalya's body. Saber was in disbelief as well as she ran towards Natalya's corpse. "That boy was a homunculus….!" She said as she saw the pair escape on the road by car; Berserker vanishing into spirit form as they did so. That was when she heard Archer riding in on her horse with Donald riding along with her. As he got off the saddle he said.

"That was Klaus Crawford, what in the hell was he doing all the way out here?" He said as he was confused as everyone else was. Archer hopped off as well as her horse disappeared.

"No idea Donnie, but it seems like he's Berserker's Master and not that woman." As they walked forward towards Natalya's body Donald looked down at her face as he examined her. "Natalya Bevreshov…..an infamous black widow wanted for over dozens of horrific murders across the world…" That was when Saber blinked for a moment and then looked at them. "A Black Widow…? What do you mean Donald?" She asked while sliding her sword back into the hilt.

Archer clenched her fists in disgust. "A Black Widow is a woman who purposely seduces a man and has sex with him before she brutally murders him…this woman was a monster…" She said before spitting on Natalya's corpse. Saber's eyes went wide at the thought of anyone doing such a thing to commit a heinous act.

Donald sighed as he took out his cell phone looking at Archer. "Go back in the house and check around for traps. If Klaus was able to slip past us we don't know if he has sabotaged the magical circuit network within the house." That was when Kai and Saber realized that I was still inside the house.

Saber sprinted after Kai as they entered back in the house to where Archer last left her. As they opened the door to the bathroom they found me unconscious and sound asleep against the wall. Tears streaming down my face as if I was mourning them in a dream.
