Even as these events took place in an area near yet far from the park, a meeting between four people took place. The people were four other competitors of the Holy Grail War that was currently taking place.
One was a young woman with long black hair, aqua blue eyes, a red shirt, long black socks, short black skirt and a red jacket. This was Rin the master of Archer her servant.
Standing close to her was her servant Archer who had short white hair, tan skin, grey eyes black body tight-fitting armor and a red jacket with an open battle red skirt that he uses while fighting, as well as in his everyday attire.
In front of them were their temporary allies, Shirou a young man with red hair, golden-brown eyes, white t-shirt, blue pants and a brown jacket.
Besides him sat his servant Saber, a young woman with long blond hair, blue eyes, blue battle dress, covered with a silver armored body to keep her protected.
''What the hell was that! How was that guy even doing that and what kind of Magecraft was that lightning!'' Rin screamed, as she slammed her fist onto the table she was sitting in front of, that served as the divider between her and her companions.
''He also, has not one but two companions who are exceptionally capable. I can personally confirm that he has Caster at his side. But he also has a member of the church, with him and she can manipulate the mana used against her or her companions. When I was fighting Caster she forced my body to move in another direction against my will'' Said Saber, adding her information to the mix
''He's no fighter, it was those two energy swords he held that prevented Berserkers attack from doing harm. But the lightning was something he couldn't control. He fell the moment he used it, most likely it was a last-ditch attempt to kill his enemies.'' Archer said as he tried to understand everything.
''So it was like if I'm going down you're going down with me'' said Shirou
''Something like that'' answered Archer
''Great so we have three magic users against us, plus they know who we are and who we each have as a servant,,'' Rin said in her signature frown
''Ummm, I know how this is going to sound but we did kind of attack them'' Shirou said, as everyone's eyes turned to look at him
''We did Emiya and if we hadn't they would have attacked us.'' Saber answered, not believing her master naivety
''So what now'' Shirou asked
''Now we wait and see. No one knows anything about who our opponents are except, that we also have Berserker to deal with and we still don't know who are Rider and Assassin'' Answered Archer as he banished
''I guess that's it for now'' Rin said, as she laid down on the floor as she tried to get some rest before she had to go out and search for the remaining Masters and Servants
Even as he looked at his servant Saber who looked as if she were in deep thought, Shirou could only wonder what exactly was going on. He was always doing things for people when they asked him, so he had learned to tell when people were just taking advantage of him.
Those very skills also helped to read people's body language and right now he could tell both Rin and Saber weren't being completely honest at the moment. There was something else tho, he couldn't tell what it was tho but something wasn't right,, but contrary to popular belief he wasn't an idiot, so he knew that no one would tell him even if he asked.
Meanwhile back at the church
''Well that was interesting'' said a man with short blond hair, white shirt, black pants and black jacket
''Indeed, two new powers no one has seen before, one that can manipulate others mana and another that can divide mana into two parts'' answered the priest, that had handed the black book to Max earlier
''So my king did you find it'' asked the priest
''No whatever used the second Magic is now gone, it was strange though there were traces of the first two'' answers the man with blond hair
''Lord Gilgamesh how could that be?'' asked the priest
''I don't know but it's going to be an interesting war'' said the blond man now known as Gilgamesh
Still close yet far from all of this Max and his two companions had just about finished setting themselves into one of the best hotels in the city.
Their reasoning was simple, hell they were about to banish from this reality anyways, so why not go for the best parts, it wasn't like they were going to pay.
So as Index ordered an insane amount of food and had it delivered and Caster took advantage of the situation to use their personal sower, Max for his part was staring at his three weapons. Which consisted of his two lightsabers and a lasgun he graved from the warhammer universe as he was fighting in the war.
The things were so thrown about that they could be found anywhere by the time it all ended. So as he closed his eyes he put the lass gun into his front right pocket and placed the lightsabers into the left one.
So as he drew both containers of deep blood he wondered if he could make it back home as he began to shudder even more alerting him that he only had at best a few hours within this universe.
The sweet smell of flowers accompanied by the warm touch of the warm mist of Casters exited the shower. Even as she closed the restroom's door, she could barely restrain her masters' emotions from transferring themselves to her, his command seals ensured she always felt his emotions and in turn, he could feel hers. Tho in a much more restrained form.
There was an un ez coming from the man, tho he was aware of her body and did, in fact, have a desire for her. She could feel she was but an afterthought, he was worried not because of the war but because of whatever had happened. His body along with the sisters briefly banished and reaped repeatedly.
The girl, however, was busy stuffing herself with enough food that could have sustained an entire village for a month. Yet her attention was immediately drawn towards the feeling of machinery near her master, no her master was holding them.
In his hand he held two small containers with what seemed like blood, eyeing them, he knew all too well what was in them and he dared not risk breaking them and releasing their contents.
As her long purple hair still wet from her warm shower, dripped what water the tow could not drye, she began to walk towards her master. It was at that moment that he put away the small containers and he brought out a weapon different, yet eerily similar to the modern-day Humans guns.
She briefly scanned with one of her wordless colorless spells and to her surprise, Index began to speak to her.
''I wouldn't do that next time. Right now he has his guard down because it's just the three of us, but I wouldn't be surprised if your spell backlashes at you next time.'' Index said as she finished eating her meal, leaving the plates clean no trace of food left
Caster was about to say something when the world around them seemed to banish upon itself, in a disorienting matter. In a matter of moments, their hotel room had vanished replaced by the sight of an alleyway of an unknown city.
Her naked body only covered by the hotel's tows was briefly covered in a simple purple light. Yet it was so dim that if one had not been actively looking for it they would have missed it. Leaving Caster in her usual purple robe.
Her master had fallen onto the city floor, however, he immediately picked himself up in such a way that screamed he didn't dare stay down for long.
''Index-Caster, we have to get out of the streets. I know where we are'' he said as he stared at a sign that hung in the building next to them. As Index and Caster both looked to see what had him so spooked, they saw the sign which read Arkham Public Library.
