Woah, 3 reviews, 18 favorites and 25 followers. That's really more than I expected. Thanks to all of you guys. Anyway, it's time to introduce the Servants, things might become a bit… messy, for our Masters.
DISCLAIMER: I don't own Fate or any of the other represented series.
Edit (11/10/15): Decided to move this to the crossover section as it'd be more fitting.
Chapter 2: In which the shenanigans ensue
The Grail glanced at the Servants it selected and sent them. Now it had only to sit and watch, this was going to be good.
"Servant Archer has answered to your call. I ask of you, are you my Master?"
Shirou looked at the Servant he just summoned. He was prepared to receive almost anything, what with the tales of countless heroes around the globe, from the most known worldwide like King Arthur, to local mythos that, while famous on their place of origin, might be unknown to most foreigners. Heck, he even thought of the possibility of a hero from the future! In this particular case, he hoped to see if he himself turned into a Heroic Spirit.
Somewhere Counter Guardian EMIYA sulked.
But if there was one thing he didn't even think of, that was a schoolgirl.
Her long loose hair was dark blue, her eyes were yellow, and she was a bit tall but no more than him and had a modest chest. She was wearing a standard school uniform with a light blue skirt, a jacket that matched her hair, black socks that reached to below her knees and a red bowtie.
"Master?"
Shirou was snapped from his thoughts "Sorry, Archer, right?" she nodded "I'm Shirou Emiya, and yes, I'm your master"
"Very well, our contract is sealed" she then looked at her surroundings, they were inside a dojo "I have to say, Master, I like this place already, it will be useful for practice"
"Thanks, I'm glad" he then paused and asked "Can you tell me your identity?"
Archer then put a thumb on her chin "I'm not sure Master, this era actually looks the same as mine, if I exist in this world then the enemy could get advantage of it. If I don't, it'd be useless anyway"
Shirou crossed his arms sighed "If that's the case, don't worry about it. By the way, I don't like formalities, so don't call me Master, just Shirou is fine"
"Very well then"
"Also out of curiosity…" he began to scratch his neck "what is your age?"
Archer looked at him curiously. Then her cheeks turned a bit red "16, why?" oh, so she's Sakura's age…
This is going to be awkward.
Rin looked around the room. Nothing. Did she do something wrong? No, that wasn't it, she took almost all of the cautions to get a Servant, catalysts aren't obligatory after all. She made sure to not make any mistakes in her chant either, so where was the Servant?
THUD!
"What the hell?!" she ran to the next room at hearing something fall, once entering she saw tons of her expensive furniture destroyed. But that didn't matter. No, what was actually important was the person on the middle of the debris.
It was a kid, around 10 or 12, his head was big and very round, his eyes were black, his hair blond and his ears pointy. He was wearing a green tunic with a matching pointy hat, white leggings, a brown belt with a spiral shaped golden buckle, brown boots and on his back there were a scabbard with a sword and a shield. You could say he was the image of an stereotypical elf to an extent. Oh, he was also dizzy.
Wait, a sword?
Once he recovered, Rin and he locked eyes and there was silence for at least a minute. The she asked "You, are you Saber?" he nodded.
Then she started doing a victory dance "In your face, Edelfelt! IN YOUR STUPID FACE!" after that she stopped and finally paid attention to the state of the room "You did this!" Saber shrugged, Rin sighed, she was proud but wouldn't leave a bad impression on a heroic spirit, much less her Servant "Sorry for that outburst, I'm Rin Tohsaka, your new Master, what's your name?"
Saber sweat dropped at her attitude, but then again he was kind of used to this kind of situations "Link" he said.
"Link, huh?" Rin began to think, she has never heard of a hero with such a name, oh well, the fact he was a Saber obviously indicated he will do fine "Well, Saber, your first labor will be fixing this mess"
Yep, it would be Tetra all over again.
After the smoke from the circle dissipated, Luvia was expecting a greet or any response from her Servant, instead she felt tension building up around her and turned to see what kind of Servant she got.
She was a little girl, no older than 8 or 10. Her long blond hair was tied with a vine that sprouted a purple rose, her eyes were golden and her skin almost pale. She wore a very odd dress, it looked like a plant surrounded in more vines, colored in red, pink and purple with another purple rose on her chest. She also wore sandals, green leggings and the catalyst, the wooden staff, was in her right hand. She was also angry.
But whatever her childlike appearance was, this girl had a reason to be a heroic spirit, right? "Greetings" Luvia decided to break the ice "I'm grateful you answered my call, my name is Luviagelita Edelfelt and I'll be your Master for this war. May I ask who you are?"
"I'm Caster and that's all you need to know from me" she frowned as she made her way to the door.
"Where are you going?"
"I'd rather die than being bossed around by a human, so I'm taking my leave"
"Excuse me?" Luvia was quickly getting annoyed, but she wouldn't let this girl get onn her nerves. That's Tohsaka's job after all "May I remind you there's a contract between us? Also of the Holy Grail"
"Yeah, I don't believe in any of that wish granting crap" she sounded like she had a similar experience "Seriously, you humans will kill each other for a wish? Don't make me laugh"
"Don't make me use this" Luvia revealed her Command Seals.
"Oh you wouldn't!"
"Wanna bet?"
"… OK, I get it"
"Good, now behave and maybe I will respect you" Luvia said proudly, legendary hero or not, she won't let a brat talk down to her "For starters, you can call me whatever you want" she had to start getting the trust of her somewhere.
"Hairless monkey would be fine then?"
That's when all hell broke loose.
Sakura blinked and rubbed her eyes, Zouken and Shinji did the same.
"Hi, I'm Assassin!" said the cartoon pig that stood on the circle.
… A cartoon pig, for God's sake! Not only Sakura somehow broke the rules by not summoning one of the Hassan as Assassin, but she did also summon a pig?! Zouken sighed, he wasn't going to say anything that would anger Sakura.
"Excuse me, I'm still here"
The Servant was… well, an anthropomorphic pig. What he wore couldn't be described as anything but a clown outfit. The costume covered him from head to toe (if that's what he had), it was predominantly red on the mask, shirt and boots, with blue on the pants and on the back of the shirt. The entirety of the red sections were covered in thin black stripes that made for a spider web effect, except for a large spider symbol on the back, and now that were on that, he had a smaller black spider logo on his chest. His mask had white lenses shaped teardrops with smaller ones on his nose.
Sakura stared blankly at him.
"Hello? Is anyone there? I like attention, you know?" Assassin said while waving his hand in front of her.
Then she finally spoke "Remind me how I was convinced to do this?"
Shinji replied "It was like this…"
Flashback
The Matous were having dinner "So the fifth Heaven's Feel will start early" Zouken began the conversation "And as one of the founding families we should participate" Shinji knew were his gramps was going. Nope, he will not say anything while that beast in the form of his little sister was on the table. Or in the house. Or in the world of living. Or after death.
As expected, Sakura glared and Zouken began to sweat "T-there are various heroic spirits from all ages, even from the future!" he said nervously, she kept that look "Didn't that kid, Emiya, wanted to be a hero?" and then her look was now of curiosity "Who knows, maybe he became one in the future! Shame we will never know"
Somewhere Counter Guardian EMIYA sulked.
"When did you said it would start?"
Flashback end
"Thanks, Nii-san" Sakura said as she left the basement with a big smile. Shinji stared at the bloody pulp that was Zouken.
"HEY, DON'T IGNORE ME!"
"Sella~"
"Yes, mistress?"
"Can you explain where is my Servant?"
Illya said with a childish tone and her "if you don't, I'll rip your intestines and strangle you with them" smile.
"If I knew, I gladly would" the three homunculus stared at what was summoned. There was no Servant, but instead there were some construction vehicles.
They were six in total, a front end loader, a mobile crane, a bulldozer, an excavator, a dump truck and a cement mixer truck. They were all of a bright green color, with their windows and other parts purple, all of them also had an insignia of the same color that resembled an angry face, honestly, it looked like the symbol of a cartoon villain.
What the hell was she supposed to do with this?! Destroy Shirou's house and then run over and squash him to then throw his head into the cement mix and make a statue out of it where she's holding said head? Actually that was a good idea, but that's beside the point.
"Damn it, I want a Servant!"
"Oh, shut up kid. Seriously, what's with you small earthlings and your high pitched voices?"
The homunculi stopped at their tracks at hearing a male voice, Liz then got a giant scythe out of nowhere "Who are you? Show yourself!" Sella demanded.
"Are you really that stupid? We're here!" they looked at the voice source, the construction vehicles, they started to change their shape, separating and reassembling parts, until in place of the vehicles stood six giant robots. The one that used to be the front loader walked to Illya and spoke.
"We are Servant Berserker"
Berserker? Giant robots? We? Illya smiled.
Oops.
The Grail was dumbfounded. It sent her the wrong Servant.
"How did that thing enter the Throne?! I thought those guys had their own spark afterlife thingy. Damn, this will be a short War"
Bazett was a hard rock to break. Despite her inner outbursts and urges, she always found a way to remain calm and retain her stoic behavior. It was hard at first, but grew used to it after the 23rd Dead Apostle she took care of. Now, even the biggest surprises and shock situations are practically useless on her.
And all it needed to shatter was one look at her Servant.
The creature wasn't any hero she heard from any myth or in history she even doubted it came from Earth. It was small, very small, like only slightly bigger than a soccer ball. It was of a deep orange color, the feet were also round and fingerless with a lighter shade. The paws it had for arms didn't have fingers either, yet somehow it got hold on a spear. The area that could only be called the face was peach colored, mouthless, with a permanent orange blush and polka dot black eyes. But his most noticeable feature? He wore a blue bandanna. No, really.
Bazett was twitching.
"You're… my… Servant?" she asked with a desperate tone, the creature nodded, then she looked at the spear "A Lancer right?" another nod, then came the question with an obvious answer "You're not Cú Chulainn, right?" and it shook his head, so that's a no.
And then she fainted.
Ayaka had her eyes shut. There was no way she summoned a Servant. She's sleep and dreaming, yeah, that's the answer to what's going on. That was when she made the mistake of opening them.
She saw a woman who looked to be on her mid 20s. Her skin was a very pale blue color, her hair was purple and her eyes were red with a yellow pigment. She wore a purple top that had the shape of a skull, a large belt on her hips that held a pistol and a scabbard, purple bell pants with a white rim that made them look like a jaw, a purple necklace with a golden pendant and large pirate hat. She also was holding a scimitar.
"Hey, you" she was definitely angry "are you the wimp that summoned me?"
"O-of course not!" Ayaka replied.
"Then what are those Command Seals between your breasts?" Ayaka then looked that her shirt was still unbuttoned and quickly hid herself in embarrassment "I suppose you're an enemy Master then" she smirked as she pointed her scimitar at Ayaka "Well then, on to spill blood early"
"W-wait, I did actually summon you!" Ayaka spouted, then covered her mouth at realizing what she said, the Servant smirk grew.
"What a shame, to have such weak Master, but I guess you'll do to supply me. For now, that is" Ayaka was shocked at cynicism this woman gave "Name's Risky Boots, this War's Rider. What about you?"
"Ayaka Sajyou" she replied as she didn't want that scimitar pointed at her again.
"You have a pretty crappy workshop, you know? It's time to do some redecorations" Just as that, a bunch of small black creatures all wearing red pants and bandanas appeared from nowhere "On to work, guys!"
Ayaka couldn't help but wonder what she did to deserve this.
This got a bit longer than I expected, honestly I don't really like much how Luvia and Caster turned out.
I didn't find much of a reason to keep Saber and Rider's identity a secret, especially with how widely recognizable Link is. And no, Caster and Rider will not be part of the harem.
Anyway, thank you all for reading, see ya next time!
