There was a loud explosion as Caster stared at the girl before her who's eyes remained listless and dead as the crimson runic markings spread on her body coupled with a black tar-like liquid began to solidify into her skin. The sight left the countess immensely fascinated as she watched the darkness slowly consume Saiya's beautiful frame. She had heard of Saiya's existence as a demi-Servant which had intrigued her even then, seeing this sudden event by which she figured the Greater Grail, or Angra Mainyu was involved had her convinced. This girl had somehow managed to prove her usefulness in more ways than she thought.

As she caressed the young woman's unstained cheek; a smirk creasing her lips as the girl rose her face to look at her responding in a lustful purr. She began wondering if Saiya would be essential enough in realizing her own personal wish without the need of having to finish this Grail War after all. The thought of this left her giddy as she let out a crazed giggle.

"I was originally planning on bleeding you dry immediately, but now you have earned my attention and dearest love~" She whispered before implanting her lips against the girl's mouth in a passionate kiss beginning to feed off of her mana. The rush of the darkness and azure blue fiery mana surged through her body leaving the woman momentarily breathless as she almost fell backwards letting out a moan.

"Mmmm~ the things I could do with you...if only Rika would only let me do this with more lovely young women like you..." She purred before the door to her chamber collapsed in swift sword strikes and a rush of energy. What came through was two boys, one she assumed was Rider of Red and Saiya's homunculus Kai, their brilliantly feminine looks made Caster drool with lust. However what was even more tantalizing was Saiya's Servant in front of them; her eyes filled with an intense rage the likes of which was one the most beautiful and frightening things Caster had ever seen.

"Such a magnificent rage... burning with the flames of your passionate love for your dearest Master I presume?" She said as the young girl brandished her sword as she snarled like a wolf.

"Release her Caster! the gods have demanded your death!" She yelled as she threateningly pointed her sword towards her throat.

Caster let out a maniacal laugh as she stepped towards Saiya, "You mean you want me to release your broken husk of a Master?" She purred as she caressed the young woman's long hair.

"She has become much more useful to me than she has to you Saber...of course maybe...you COULD join me...for her sake?" She said, peering into Saber's rage-filled eyes as she slowly tilted Saiya's head backwards and slowly licked the nape of her neck.

This was enough to set Saber off. "UNHAND HER YOU DEPRAVED WHORE!" She roared; running towards the woman moving into a mighty swing of Kusanagi's blade cutting her Master free of her bondage while Caster fled to the side giggling cruelly as their battle began. She seemed to dance around the young swordswoman as Kai and Rider rushed to Saiya's side.

"Its happening...the Greater Grail is trying to take over her soul.." Kai said with a distraught horror in his eyes. Astolfo looked over at him in shock, but before he could say something Saber yelled as she sidestepped a mana blast from Caster.

"GET HER OUT OF HERE! I'll keep Caster off of you!" Kai and Astolfo nodded as they wrapped Saiya in a blanket proceeding to carry her to the entrance they came in from. Caster gave Saber a maniacal grin as an intense beam of light reflected off of the young girl's sword.

"An anger as intense as roaring flames, beauty as lovely as sunflowers, and a sword with a divine light?" She chuckled as she stepped around her with a bloodthirsty glint of delight in her eyes.

"I think I maybe beginning to understand just who you are Saber...but the question is, will that REALLY help you survive against my darkness? Or the darkness of your Master? You saw those markings on her, something is trying to corrupt and consume your dearest love." She said speaking in a truth that even surprised herself,

"Silence you're tongue you rotten bitch! I'll silence you right now!" she snarled dashing towards the woman in a wide swing of her blade. The woman could only laugh before letting out a ear-splitting roar accompanied by multiple sounds of agony slamming into her launching out into the night. As Saber sat up feeling the intense ringing in her ears seeing the blood on her hands she heard the clicking of heels stepping towards her.

"If you care so much about your dearest Master, if you want to dance with a countess, then I shall happily oblige such a dear woman like you." She whispered before beginning to chuckle into a crazed laugh.

"How fortunate that I still remember the steps!" She declared as their battle truly began in earnest.

"Yep, that was definitely a Noble Phantasm, and poor Saber just took it straight to her pretty face." Archer said as she lowered her rifle and looked over at her Master.

Donald lowered his binoculars as he acted as his Servant's spotter. There had been word of Saiya having been captured and the activity had caught the attention of both factions which prompted him to perform reconnaissance of the situation. When they had finally arrived they had sighted Rider of Red and Saiya's homunculus carrying her body away from the enemy Master's dwelling where shortly afterwards they saw the explosion from Caster's Noble Phantasm.

"That little bitch's Noble Phantasm was so loud it felt like my mind was going to melt into mollasses..." He heard Archer mumbling as he took out his cellphone and began dialing.

"Oh? calling 'him' again Donnie?" She asked with an amused giggle. He sighed as he looked at her as she knew his answer already. His employer was the one who knew the true threat in this Grail War, not some spoiled heiress like Alice. As he watched Saiya's unconscious body being carried away he could only wonder how much time they had left before the Greater Grail showed itself.

Hey guys I'm sorry this took so long I had meant to make this my Halloween chapter but I got caught up with college stuff, midterms, birthday hype and getting ready for finals exams. Good news is that with the release of Fallout 4 expect more frequent updates to Damned of the Wasteland and hopefully newer heroes. Bad news? Not as frequent for the others, and in light of the awful attacks in Paris I wanted to say to my French readers that my prayers go out to you all and hope you all stay safe.
