A/N: It took me like 3 weeks for this chapter to be done and it is the longest words (11,156 for one chapter), but it still feels good to write more each time. Well here is part 2 of the reactions of the aftermath, which shows most of the main characters' reactions, but will show one or two more of them in the future. I'm still not sure how they would response to this event. I really hope that I didn't mess up the personalities too much for them.
Time to answer some of your questions.
First-x115: Yes I will continue as long as people are reviewing it more, then I will keep writing more words in each chapter.
FangDriver8: Thank you for the ideas and the example that you have given and here is your Reward, a long chapter to read in your free time.
Myth fan: Yes Ben is crying in a corner, my god they have no common sense in their minds. This is what it looked like when they are too powerful to be controlled by a human being.
Hyperomegasnonic26: Thank you for that information, still what happened to him after the Fate/stay night event? Did he die or something?
King of powers: Thank you for reading. It is good to see that people are enjoying it.
Toaneo007: I did use rin and Shirou in the first scene right now.
MaxHd2490: Yes the Clock tower and Church are pretty much pissed off, well let's face it, they really deserved that. I still wondered why the clock tower didn't launch an investigation for Fourth and Fifth Holy Grail or how Holy Church did not stop them or launch an investigation too. Oh yeah, they did not take anything seriously at all.
TLau18: Half of it? ok then where is the other half of it? Thank for the information that my story is lacking character development for servants and their relation to their master. In this Chapter I did with Saint George and Ozymandias, I hope this scene can help warm up with Benjamin
Axel The Moon: Yeah Jeffrey tempting fate, he actually wasn't expecting to see that a weapon that can disappear in front of them. Gilgamesh can actually handle rude servants as long they do not pick a fight with him and on the plus side with Enkidu here, help him lower his rule over them.
Gundam-Knight_Chris: Benjamin is more of a mature character and a person who does not freak out like an immature or naive like someone that you know. But he is still scared shitless inside of the heart, so yeah he would be in complete anger in the future chapter when the servants mess up completely overboard.
"They're doing WHAT!?" shouted a girl of average height and slightly below average weight
Her clothing showed an arms length shirt, thigh-high stockings, and a short skirt. Aside from the obvious attention that her legging combination brought, her shirt also attracted attention with its unusual criss-cross pattern. Whether it's a memento of her once-caretaker or simply a fashion statement, Rin likely didn't even know herself. In less public surroundings, she tended to wear more comfortable clothing, including a longer skirt, and a less-tight shirt. In addition, she has a jeweled pendant she always wears around her neck but generally keeps it tucked underneath her shirt.
Outside of what her clothing drew attention to, one of the first things most people notice about her is her large, blue eyes. They give a youthful impression about her, and when you could see her eyes, she is very often smiling along with it. But not right now, for her face was full of fury and it was scary for anyone who saw it.
Her name is Rin Tohsaka
Rin Tohsaka had a life deeply intertwined with that of the Holy Grail War. During her childhood years, she experienced the Fourth tangentially, resulting in the tragic deaths of her father and mother. She was raised by the one that killed them, unbeknownst to her, and slowly but surely grew into the woman she is today. She attempted to grow up in the footsteps of the father she idolized, but her personality kept her from achieving the kind of perfection she sought. Her drive to succeed was undiminished, however, and she awaited the day she could compete as her father had.
Early in the war, she and her Archer-class Servant (EMIYA) encountered the Lancer-class Servant (Cu Chulainn), and during their encounter, a bystander who was Shirou Emiya saw them. Lancer, in following the rules of the War, killed him to prevent knowledge from spreading. Rin, despite knowing his action was appropriate, intervened, using a gemstone charged with an unbelievable amount of power to reverse the fatal wound and save Shirou Emiya's life. Later, he became the Master of Saber (Artoria Pendragon). Together they repelled the Beserker of the war who was Heracles, a servant so powerful it had taken everything she and Shirou could muster between them to defeat him, and then it was only by a hair that they achieved victory. This caused them to be an alliance for the rest of the Holy Grail War and we will get to more of the story of this war later.
A boy who possesses a lean, slightly muscular physique, with well-toned chest and arms, raised a hand, hoping to calm her down. "I know, I know. I can't believe it either…"
He is more suited to athleticism and stamina than what showed his strength and raw, physical endurance. Over the past few months, he had grown an additional five centimeters and showed no signs of stopping, putting him at 172 cm (just under five-feet, seven inches) tall, just 2cm above the Japanese average. He had also gained an additional 5 kg of predominantly muscle, placing him at a 63 kg total. This gave him a body-mass index of 21.3, squarely in the middle of the 'Normal' range for the Japanese.
His most distinct physical characteristic is his short orange hair, often kept fairly messy, with a fringe that ends just above his eyebrows. He has two small sideburns that taper to a point and terminate in front of the rough center of his ears, and his eyebrows are the same orange color as his hair. His eyes are golden brown and wide. His nose is small and pointed, which, along with his small mouth and wide eyes, gives him a gentle-looking face that is complemented by his typically friendly expression.
Clothing wise, Shirou is almost never seen out of his regular choice of outfits: a long-sleeved white t-shirt, with a deep blue collar that ends below his collarbone and identically blue sleeves. With this, he wears a pair of navy-blue pants, tight-fitting without being skin-tight, and a pair of grey-and-black sneakers
His name is Shirou Emiya.
Nobody can say what Shirou's life was like before the fire. His family died, and Shirou himself gave up his memories and had prepared for death before being rescued in the last instant by Kiritsugu Emiya, leaving him with no recollection of his past self. He awoke in a hospital bed, with Kiritsugu by him. The man revealed that he was a magician, and asked Shirou if he would like to be adopted by him. Shirou accepted readily, and together they began what, for Shirou, was a happy five years. He learned, eventually, the lie in Kiritsugu's words, that he was a magus, not a magician. He learned of magecraft, despite Kiritsugu's reluctance. Shirou insisted he is to be taught, and so Kiritsugu taught him what he could, instructing him to focus on Reinforcement when seeing Shirou attempt what he thought was regular Projection. Despite Kiritsugu's frequent absences to places unknown, Shirou was always cared for, and found a surrogate big sister in Taiga Fujimura, affectionately nicknaming her 'Fuji-nee'.
In the last years of his life, Kiritsugu became lame, weak, and tired. One night, five years after the end of the Grail War, Kiritsugu and Shirou sat out under a silver moon, and he revealed his dream as a child: to become a Hero of Justice. He regretted his inability to become one – and Shirou swore that, since Kiritsugu had been unable to accomplish it as he grew older, Shirou would carry on in his stead. Kiritsugu died at peace – and left Shirou frustrated, depressed, and alone.
Despite being aware of the world of magecraft, Shirou was thrown into the Fifth Holy Grail War with no idea of what was to happen. The Grail marked him as a Master, causing a bad bruise to appear on his hand without warning. Then, after he had stayed behind at school one night to clean the archery dojo, the sound of clashing blades lead him to witness the fight between Archer (EMIYA) and Lancer (Cu Chulainn). He was discovered, and despite attempting to escape, was cornered in the halls by Lancer, stabbed and left to die. Rin Tohsaka was the one who saved him, using an incredibly powerful jewel that she left behind. Shirou, confused, returned home – where he was confronted by Lancer again and driven into his shed. Before Lancer could finish him a second time, an unnoticed magic circle in his shed activated, and from it came to a Servant of Shirou's own – Saber (Artoria Pendragon), who drove Lancer back and asked Shirou if she was his Master. Captivated by her beauty, Shirou could barely even respond. And the rest of it is history, for now. Let's get on with the chapter now.
"Did they just ignore my report? Are they comfortable turning New Jersey into a disaster zone? There's not even anything to be won! They're just risking their lives and the lives of everyone else!" She was enraged that all her work with the help of Waver Velvet, who had set out to completely take apart the Great Grail was broke in two pieces. After the fifth Holy Grail War, whose Holy Grail was polluted by Angra Mainyu and became a malignant "swirling power." A curse, the third element. It was also absolutely impossible to correct inconsistencies by precise calculations or interactions, and it would interpret any wish of the owner with nothing else than destruction, and grant it. Moreover, once it had been opened, it would keep flowing out infinitely and bring disaster in its wake. Rin Tohsaka wanted to make sure that no one would bring the Holy Grail back to existence and start the war all over again, with countless lives lost to this pointless war that did nothing but bring bloodstain to the grounds.
"Now, how on earth did someone recreate the Holy Grail so easily and make it powerful enough to summon many Servants?" She thought with fear in her mind. It is possible to create the Holy Grail with enough tools, but the ritual is degraded in quality and cannot be compared to the one in Fuyuki. However, with the prana accumulated in the Grail, it still becomes possible to bring about miracles of varying scale. But unfortunately, being summoned by such a shoddy Holy Grail is a real nuisance to the Servants. There is a high chance that many Servants would refuse the summoning, or rebel and kill their Masters. Even if they were summoned in this mockup war, the Servants were unable to display their full power as much as in Fuyuki. Depending on the quality of the ley lines, and since the advantages and disadvantages of each Servant also become clear according to their level of fame in the land where a war takes place, it would often turn into a competition to obtain the catalysts of local Servants.
Shirou heaved a sigh, "You don't have to tell me twice. We'll have to put a stop to it somehow…" He was surprised by the events of yesterday. Since the end of the Holy Grail War, Shirou's memories of his fight with Archer had grown distant. The influence of Rin meant that the chance of him becoming Archer is almost negligible, and she has taken to tutoring him in mage craft as best she is able. Shirou completed his higher school education. Shirou and Rin have since maintained their contract together, reasoning that firstly Shirou could learn how to improve his Projection and improve its efficiency if he could simply draw on Rin's reserves, and secondly, he is her apprentice as well as her lover - his capacity could never increase through some illusion of self-sufficiency, at least not in regards to his mana reserves. He hoped to continue to pursue his dreams of being a "Hero of Justice" and hoped to unite with Saber, all while leading a regular life. "But you need to calm down Rin."
Rin Tohsaka groaned deeply, resting her face in her hand. "Calm down? How can you expect me to be calm?! We destroyed the Holy Grail, this shouldn't even be happening!" she shouted with an irritated face, starting to remember how Rin and Shirou got the news from this event and let's say it was not pretty to see it.
Flashback
Shirou was in the living room eating ramen peacefully while surfing the channels on TV while Rin was studying for some test. "Let's see what's on the news," Shirou thought. Not like he cared about what was going on around the world right now, but he needed something to pass the time while eating his bowl of ramen.
Shirou changed to the Japanese news channel, where he saw the news report of the museum incident in America. Shocked, surprised and almost choking on his ramen noodles inside of his throat, he shouted at Rin," Rin! Rin! Come here, quickly, you got to see this!"
"What do you want Shirou? Can't you see that I'm busy?" Rin replied with an annoyed voice. "Come here and look at the TV," Shirou shouted. "Not know. I'm very busy," Rin replied. "Just come here, quickly!" Shirou insisted. "I'm not gonna waste my time on television. So just leave me alone, I got this test that is really important now," Rin replied angrily as she continued to write with her pen on the notebook.
"Servants are on TV!" Shirou said in a truthful voice that made him hope she would come out of her study room, which actually worked. "W-what," Rin said as she stopped studying and dropped her pen to run quickly to the living room. "What did you just say?" Rin asked as she looked at Shirou for some answers. "Did you just say Servants right now?"
"Take a look," Shirou said as he increased the volume on his TV to hear the news report clearly. Rin became shocked as she heard the news about the event, which showed a giant ship blasting the roof with a beam and Servants fighting against the SWAT team. "W-what's going on?" Rin was having a hard time processing this information.
"The servants ... were revealed on television and were beating up the SWAT units," Shirou said, trying to comprehend this report to Rin. "Revealed? On television? Then that means ... oh God this is not good at all," Rin said as she and Shirou realized two things. Magecraft was now exposed worldwide to the public eye and that there was a new Holy Grail War happening in America. Both of their minds were wondering how this could happen at all and who would do such a thing.
"But that's impossible. The Greater Grail is dismantled. How did someone recreate the Greater Grail so simply?" Rin explained with her wide-open, large blue eyes. "I don't know, but we need to do something," Shirou said with a stern voice. "Agreed. I'm contacting the Clock Tower for answers," Rin said as she went to the phone and dialed it while Shirou continued to watch the TV and clenching his fists.
This was just what she needed. Her grades were high across the board, but they weren't the highest yet. If she let them slip chasing some dumb conflict that never should have happened in the first place… She sighed in frustration and looked at Shirou. "Look, Shirou, the Clock Tower has declined any magus from America until they get more information about what is going on there. So we have to wait for some more information until we know what we are dealing with here."
Shirou nodded his head. As much as he wanted to go to America and stop the person who had done this act of terror, he knew that charging into the unknown person would get him killed as he had done so many times already in the fifth Holy Grail War. This time is with Rin, though, who has helped him train his mage craft and has made sure that he would not make the same mistakes as his future self. The one who will make a contract with the World in hopes that he could save both the lives of the dying people before him and save even more as a hero after his death. But the position was being made to clean up after human actions and forced to take many lives to save humanity as a whole, instead of saving everyone, protecting humans without having to cause deaths of humans as he would have liked to. After seeing human self-destruction and being forced to oppose his own idealism countless times, he began to deny himself and his ideals.
"Rin, do you think I could summon her again?" Shirou asked with a hopeful face. Over the course of the war, Shirou and his Servant (Artoria Pendragon) became romantically involved, despite the number of obstacles that tried to hinder their relationship. They were able to destroy the evil essence of the Grail, who had attempted to be born into the world. But, it came at the cost of all the servants that had been summoned by the Grail returning back to their time that made it impossible for the relationship between them to continue. Shirou was saddened for his loss of Saber. He had made peace with what had happened. Now, this new Holy Grail War would give him a chance to see her again and hopefully to show his true feelings to her.
Rin raised her eyebrows. "I thought that you'd come to terms with her being gone. Why are you going to summon her again?"
"I was, uh I was...I..." Shirou's voice trailed off and he was massaging his red hair nervously, but he was able to attempt to compose an answer. "Back then I had recognized that what had happened was final and I was content with the time I got to share with her, but recently..."
Rin then put her hand on Shirou's shoulder and smiled with great warmth. "Shirou, I know that you love her as much as I and Sakura love you, I also think that Illya adores you too." Rin had always been attracted to Shirou after witnessing his stubborn attempts to finish a high jump that he had no chance of finishing when they were younger. His drive to be a hero was charming to her. Still, she knew full well what would happen if he let himself go overboard, and she's reigning him back often, as a promise from his future self.
Flashback from the fifth Holy Grail
"I guess the war is finally over, Rin," Archer said, whose true name was EMIYA, as he spoke to his former master.
"Archer..." Rin replied sadly. "Can't you stay with us?"
"Unfortunately, no. As Counter Guardian, I am summoned whenever a factor threats the existence of mankind and am forced to slaughter all humans when mankind is at the threshold of complete self-destruction," Archer said sadly. "However, please look after my younger self so that he is never going to commit the same mistakes I have, although I believe that my request is beyond logic by any means." He turned his head to watch as his younger self-carried Sakura Matou out from the massive cavern, where the Greater Holy Grail was created while he saw Rider (Medusa) and Saber's (Artoria Pendragon) bodies start to disappear, as the Holy Grail War was over. He also saw Illya was watching them and wearing a sad smile.
"I promise you that, Archer," Rin replied in her strong resolve. "I will never leave his side, no matter what is going to happen. And I will make sure that Illya and Sakura will help overcome his reckless behavior for his ideals!"
"That is good to hear, master," Archer replied with a gentle smile on his face that was the same one as Shirou. He had always known that during the Holy Grail war, his little master had fallen in love with his younger self after what they had been through together. "Farewell my beloved master, I wish that you and the people you care for have a peaceful life from now on."
With his final words to Rin, Archer vanished into the shining light of the rising sun and supposedly returned to the Throne of Heroes like other Heroic Spirits and Counter Guardians.
Her voice of praise caused Shirou's face to blush. Before the war, he had a long-standing admiration/crush on Rin Tohsaka. but now he is her lover and apprentice in the Clock Tower. He also knows that Sakura Matou has a long standing and obvious crush on him, which has caused him to return the same feelings towards her that have caused him to share with Rin too.
"But first we should wait for more information about the incident. And after that, we will wait for the Grail to give out any of the Command Seals to select any of the potential Masters. Since I am from one of three founding families, I would most likely have one, but if we are very lucky you too would have one," Rin explained her plan to Shirou. "So when the Holy Grail War starts, you can summon Saber with the Avalon and I will hope that I can summon your future self with the Pendant that I saved you with."
Shirou then asked a strange question, "Rin, do you have Avalon with you? Because I can not find it." This caused Rin to raise her eyebrows and frowned, "What are you talking about, Shirou. I thought you left it here in my workshop." She walked towards the door that leads to her workshop and opened the doorknob, only to see the workshop wrecked and a lot of equipment that had belonged to her father, including heirloom jewels, jewels inherited from Zelretch, and the wares and knowledge to manage her workshop, were gone.
...
...
Oh God!
Shirou studied Rin's face.
At first, she looked delighted as if she was about to be proven right. Then she looked confused, then shocked, then she paled. It wasn't until Shirou started to worry about her health, that she just went stone cold emotionless.
"Shirou," Rin said in a voice so cold he winced. "What the heck happened here?"
He looked at the scene, then swallowed nervously. "We have been robbed," he answered.
She slowly stared at him and honestly, it was already starting to scare him. "Shirou, that was a correct answer. I have put up a Boundary Field with every possible trick in my arsenal. It will take at least another Average One magus to damage it, and yet whoever did this used its bare hands to open it." She stated in one breath, all in the same dead, monotone voice. "And do you know what does that means?"
Shirou swallowed nervously. "That we have a dangerous person who knows us and took the chance to steal every important thing that we have in the workshop."
And then she snapped, "Whoever you are, you are going to die from my bare hands!"
In Ireland
A woman was returning home to an old house on a small coastline village. The chilly night air hung heavy in the air around her house. Her name was Bazett Fraga McRemitz.
One of Bazett's striking characteristics would be her plum-ish colored hair, and matching dark, red eyes. When contrasted against the bland coloration of her tan or brown suits, her hair stuck out significantly. She usually keeps her hair on the short side. She never lets it get near her shoulders. Anything longer than what brushes the nape of her neck is too long. Her hair parts in the center, and falls down on the sides of her face near her eyes. Her bangs slip in front of her eyes, but they're kept thin enough to not cause too much visual disruption. She lacks the desire to apply makeup to her face but has a natural beauty to her. Her features are simple, a small nose, thin lips, with the curvature of her chin ending in a soft point. Her eyes are dark, almost black in the right light, but shine with a deep, dark red. The color seems to swim around in the darkness of her eyes in shifting light. She has a small mole under her left eye. A small, simple beauty mark. Her hair parts around her ears, revealing a pair of bright, silver ear piercings. They hang down like small knives, nearly an inch. Her expression is usually one of a serious, calm demeanor. Her lips are often kept in a neutral frown. Her eyes betray no emotion. Only when she is truly worked up do her emotions show through her strictly-business exterior.
Her left arm is left as a mutilated stump from just below the elbow. The scarred remnant is an ugly reminder of her trust in a man who goes by the name of Kotomine Kirei. She is capable of some motion from her elbow, albeit lacking in fluidity. She has obtained a prosthetic for her left arm from an unknown magus from the Clock Tower upon her return. It is not the finest work that could be found, but it is much better than what could be produced by modern medical technology
Her attire is almost entirely comprised of business suits. They leave little to the imagination of Bazett's modest body. Her suits are designed specifically to her frame. They leave enough room in the right places to keep her motion fluid with no restrictions. Her upper body is usually cloaked in a jacket that ends shortly before her wrists. It is open over her chest and is fastened by buttons down her midsection. Below its four buttons, it opens once more around her waist. It ends in points, before wrapping around her. Her jacket reaches just below her hips. Beneath the jacket is a white collared shirt that neatly covers any gaps left by the jacket. Her collar is never out of place. She always wears a tie, usually matching her hair color, neatly tied and tucked into her jacket. The sleeves of her white shirt extend just beyond the cuffs of her jacket. Her hands are rarely left exposed to the elements. Bazett has dozens of pairs of black or brown leather gloves that she uses to cover her hands. Her legs are covered to the ankle by matching slacks that are similarly designed and kept. They hardly restrict her movement, the way they are kept is evident by their neatness. She wears dress shoes that follow the style of her wardrobe. They are both formal and functional. The rubber bottoms of the shoes have the tread necessary to grip smooth surfaces and the reinforcement to handle the wear and tear of running.
It has been a few months since Bazett moved out of Shirou's house and to Ireland. She has returned to her job as an Enforcer, hunting down magus with Sealing Designations for the past few weeks. After finishing her latest mission, tired from all of the long travel, she went to the kitchen to grab a bottle of water from the fridge. Then she went to the living room, sat down on the sofa, and turned on her TV with her remote that was on the end table. Bazett rarely used her TV, but for now, she would just like to unwind after a hard day's work. On the TV, there was an Irish soap opera. Bazett opened her bottle of water and drank from it. The show was interrupted by a breaking news report.
Bazett stopped drinking and looked at the screen, "What's this?" Bazett thought as she stared at the scene unfolding on the TV.
The news report was about a museum robbery in America. At first, Bazett didn't care. It was just the everyday problems of the world. But that was until it showed a giant ship blasting the roof with a beam and another scene showing Servants fighting against the SWAT team. This surprised her and caused her to drop her water bottle. She stood up from her sofa, shocked.
"W-what the?" she said, as she walked close to the TV. She listened to the report intently."It can't be. How did this happen? Who would do such a thing? Now mage craft is revealed to the world. This is not good. Not good at all. The Mage's Association and the Holy Church are not gonna be happy with this." Bazett thought with worry.
Her cell phone rang. She immediately answered it. "Hello," Bazett said.
"Bazett, we have a situation." It was one of the higher ups of the Mage's Association who she knew.
"It's about the museum incident in America, isn't it?" Bazett said as she continued to watch the report of the incident.
"Correct, Bazett. The Church and the Association are furious with this development."
"How did this happened? Who did this?" Bazett asked. She wanted to know who caused this incident and who in their right mind would reveal mage craft to the world.
"No one knows. All they know is that there is a new Holy Grail War happening in America."
"What?" Bazett said with surprise. She heard that the Greater Grail was previously dismantled, which caused her to feel very sad that she was unable to summon her childhood hero. The reason behind her motives was her desire to save him since childhood. That was her wish for the Grail, for his life to have been better. As a dispassionate and desolate child, Bazett found herself immersed in the story of Cú Chulainn, finding herself grieving over such a tragedy that was his legend and, at the same time, finding a purpose for herself.
"I knew the whole Clock Tower was on lockdown and I knew that I can count on you because you're one of the best enforcers we've got. Return to the clock tower for further instruction."
"I understand. I won't let you down." Bazett said without fear in her voice.
The call ended. A look of determination formed on her face. A new Holy Grail War. This time in America. Bazett felt an anxious excitement about this new war. A chance to bury old regrets, to chase her dreams again. Bazett could feel some of her determination return. This time, she wasn't going to lose Cu Chulainn to anyone.
In Austria
After exorcising a demon from a young girl in Austria a day ago, a small team of exorcists is currently resting and healing their injuries in a local church. Elsewhere, a quiet but rather provocative young woman is praying to God in the altar. Her name is Caren Hortensia. She has light gray hair and golden eyes, and is nearly always covered in bandages and is usually seen wearing church robes and a hat.
She is the daughter of Kirei Kotomine and Claudia Hortensia. Her mother, who was very sickly, killed herself in a final attempt to help Kirei, who was on the verge of suicide due to his inherently twisted nature, feel he deserved to live. It did not work, and rather than caring for Caren himself, he placed her in the custody of her mother's relatives, thus having her take up their surname. She eventually became a priestess in the Church. Despite being active in the same organization, she never encountered her father in any official capacity.
Even though she's just a priestess, not an exorcist, her abilities are useful and valued to the Holy Church. Her body itself possesses an unusual property, which is known as Masochistic Pneumatic Automatism Diathesis. If there is a person nearby who has been possessed by a demon, she will experience the same pain as the person possessed. As a result, exorcists employ her to act as a radar of sorts to find demons. This ability cannot be gained from training since it is purely genetic, which is why people born with these traits are valued by the Church as demon detectors.
"What?" A shout was heard from one of the rooms, interrupting Caren's prayer. She stood up and went to the room where the exorcists were. When she walked in, the exorcists were in a discussion. They were fretting, so angry and disturbed by something that they didn't notice Caren enter at first.
"Is everything okay?" Caren asked calmly, getting the attention of the exorcists who had turned their heads. They were troubled by what they had just heard.
"Not really, Caren. It is a really bad news. We have a serious problem," one of the exorcists said in a serious voice. "What's going on?" Caren asked and raised her eyebrows.
"We just got contacted by the church saying that there's a new Holy Grail War," the exorcist replied. Caren was mildly surprised. "Strange. I thought that the Greater Grail was dismantled. Where is the Holy Grail War located?" She thought, "What would cause the Holy Grail to possibly show up in the world again?"
"America, but that's not the worst part," the exorcist said. The whole room became uneasy.
"What do you mean?" Caren asked curiously.
"There was a museum robbery involving servants. That incident revealed the existence of magecraft to the world," the exorcist explained in a very worried tone.
Caren was shocked but kept her composure. "How is that possible?" she asked. No magus was insane enough to do something stupid like that. The only report of something like this incident was that in the fourth Holy Grail War, a Master, who was a serial killer, and Caster (Gilles de Rais) went on a killing spree that targeted and kidnapped children throughout Fuyuki. They slaughtered them for use in his spell book and for his Master's amusement.
"We don't know what happened, but the Church is outraged and they want us to return for an emergency meeting," the exorcist explained as he got up from his chair. "They also said that the Clock Tower is making sure that no one is allowed to go to America until they get more information about the New Holy Grail War."
"I see. Then let's get going," Caren said as they left the local church. Somewhere in her mind was the thought that this would be an interested event in this era and she wondered if she could get the chance to join in on the war.
In Germany
In a mountain district near a certain river, an interesting mental debate was being experienced in a frozen German forest.
An old man was reading a letter that was passed on by one of their agents from the Clock Tower. There was a lot of its contents to make sense of.
This old man, whose name is Jubstacheit von Einzbern, had an astute light emitting from his eyes to hide any trace of senility. His white beard made one think of a frozen waterfall. All of his emotions can be condensed into the single word: Achievement. He has no heart, nor love for his creations (Irisviel, Illyasviel, Leysritt, Sella, etc.), or even to humanity itself. He is just an artificial brain, created to strictly follow the goals of the ancient Einzberns who have died, and is to recover the Third Magic at any cost.
He is actually an Artificial Intelligence, a Golem created by a humanoid Terminal that was in Einzbern Castle. He is the eighth generation, created after the era Justeaze to serve as the leader of all of the Einzbern family. This whole family was originally student magicians of the Third True Magic, an artificial intelligence made to control the Einzbern Castle. He led the family in their attempts to reclaim their lost Third Magic but suffered failure four times.
During the Third Holy Grail War, he and his family twisted the rules of the Grail War to summon an Avenger. Replacing the Berserker class for the War, the Persian God of darkness, Angra Mainyu, was crowned as the 'King of Demons' who bore the six billion curses of the world. A living calamity made for the carnage in hopes that Avenger would slaughter all of the other Masters and Servants, and allow them to activate the Greater Grail. That would make up for their Master's lack of combat ability. Even though their members can be dangerous when forced to fight, their single-minded specialization in Alchemy has made them ill-suited for battle.
However, he was extremely weak instead of someone capable of slaughtering all other Masters and Servants. In reality, Avenger was no more than an ordinary villager in his past. He was randomly chosen as the source of all evil in the world by his village and was tortured and sacrificed in the following rituals. Despite such religious faith being placed upon him, he did not gain any unique abilities as a Heroic Spirit, other than becoming free from the laws of order due to having his name stricken into a Book of Zoroaster. That quality is not enough to be able to truly label him as a Heroic Spirit. In other words, he is considered to be complete garbage and completely powerless without any Noble Phantasms or any special abilities. The Third Holy Grail War ended up being their most humiliating defeat of all.
After being defeated in only four days and after losing the war, it became common knowledge that they lost their places as Masters. All others avoided them while they stayed in the Einzbern Castle, to only watch as other Masters fought each other for their wishes.
It really is sad, right? :(
During the fourth Holy Grail War, Jubastacheit hired Kiritsugu Emiya (adoptive father of Shirou Emiya), who was married into the family to act as their representative to make up for their weakness in combat during the previous rituals, and sought out a relic to summon the strongest Heroic Spirit of the Sword, King Arthur. However, he ended up betraying them and destroying the Holy Grail (which was corrupt). This caused Jubastacheit to have rage-filled rants directed towards Kiritsugu, as though he was the one responsible for everything. Then, he lied to Kiritsugu's daughter, Illyasviel von Einzbern, who was under the impression that she was abandoned by her father.
During the fifth Holy Grail War, Jubastacheit and his family trained Illya harshly in order to groom her as the next vessel for the Grail, and as a Master who would finally bring the Grail to the Einzbern family. Her body was heavily modified before and after her birth to maximize the magical circuits in her body, making her the ultimate homunculus and a refined vessel for the Holy Grail.
The Einzberns cheated the rules again by gathering materials from the Greater Grail, which allowed Illya to successfully summon Heracles as a Berserker class a full 2 months in advance. While other classes may have allowed Heracles to access more skills and Noble Phantasms, the Einzberns wanted him to have more power. And as they had been constantly betrayed, they felt it was best to have a loyal dog that would do only what they told it to do. Heracles as a regular Heroic Spirit would have many advantages in his own right, but the possibility of cooperative friction between Illyasviel and the heroic part of him was too strong for them to take that chance.
Jubstacheit believes that they will finally win the Fifth Holy Grail War, with Illya who has unsurpassed potential as a Master amongst all Masters past and present. 70% of her body is composed of Magic Circuits, which makes her have an unlimited supply of mana, thus allowing her to control Berserker without too much difficulty. These factors and many more make her almost a vessel that exists to win the Holy Grail War. He also gave her another mission: to slay both Kiritsugu and his adopted son, Shirou Emiya.
But unfortunately, that also failed too. Even they had spent too many resources and money in the hopes that they would actually win the damn war. To make it even worse was that the Clock Tower decided to dismantle the Holy Grail by plenty of votes with the support of Rin Tohsaka and Waver Velvet. This caused the Einzbern family to be unable to recover their lost miracle through a Holy Grail War now. But they didn't become discouraged by the fact that the Greater Grail was dismantled. Rather, they didn't seem to have that kind of mentality in the first place. They were doing everything they could with the belief that they might be able to reproduce the same miracle again and the Einzberns apparently were trying to make a new one.
Broadly speaking, out of a hundred Holy Grails that they made, ninety-five of them have gotten stalled due to setbacks in the midst of constructing them, and out of the five remaining finished Grails, four ended up incomplete and exploded when prana was poured into them (I bet that was a fun morning). The last remaining Grail out of them all has managed to work properly, but the ritual was degraded in quality and it cannot be compared to the one in Fuyuki, so the last one was thrown out in the trash.
They were about to make another one until a letter was sent to them. Jubstacheit kept rereading the letter that was unexpected for the first time.
A New Holy Grail is on American soil and not a mock-up one that they failed to make. Seventy percent, he could personally confirm that this was the real thing. The very fact that a servant had been summoned, two of them had already thrashed police force units, which showed that this Grail was able to summon the real heroes. The robbery at an American museum has caused magecraft to be exposed to the whole world. So, the Clock Tower and The Church are being cautious now and waiting for more information about the incident until the lockdown is over.
There was too much to think about. He will have to plan for the right course once things have been made clear. Regardless, there was one thing that he had to do at this moment.
What kind of Hero would he and his family summon as their servant? He rubbed his white beard in deep thought. Their last three choices had failed them. Neither Angra Mainyu the God of Darkness, nor Arthur Pendragon, the King of Knights, or even Heracles the Greatest Hero of all Greece had not been able to attain the Grail for the Einzberns.
Though perhaps in the last cases, the problem was the Master, not the Servants. After the all, by most accounts, they had gathered that Saber and Berserker were able to survive through nearly the whole war.
An idea came out from his head. Perhaps the King of the Knights would fare better under a Berserker class, to further increase her attack power and be under his control as a pawn. After all, getting one of history's greatest heroes as a mindless killing machine with his strength increased to rival Hercules himself, a Berserk-Saber under his command, would be unbeatable.
The old man of winter smiled evilly. He had an artifact to steal and he already had one of the artifacts in which he held in his hand, the Avalon. He just needed the last one from a certain gray-haired girl.
Because this time he and his family would win this damn war and recover the Third Magic (Heaven's Feel). But first he needed his granddaughter to see this report and make sure that his valuables were safe, as he heard that many Magus were stealing and searching for artifacts to summon their servants for the Holy Grail War when the incident was cooled down. But still, Jubstacheit wondered how on earth could someone recreate the Greater Grail better than the three founding families.
When the Three Founding Families created the Holy Grail, it took a lot of time and resources to make it. The Einzberns provided the alchemy to create it and prepared the vessel for the Grail, the Tohsaka provided the necessary land and called forth the Servants, and the Makiri assembled the magecraft to stabilize the starting materials and designed the Command Seals that command the Servants. The Great Grail was created through forming a large circuit from many multi-layered Crests carved onto a bare rock over fifty meters in diameter. It was covered in multiple layers of circuits while its many geometric figures turned in place.
The old man of winter had some theories why it happened and how a person made it so easily but had no solid proof to back up those theories. But he wasn't disappointed at all. In fact, he didn't expect that for many reasons, but it looked like Fate itself decided to give the Magus another chance to win the war.
Around the world and in the Clock Tower, every magus who had heard or knew about the Holy Grail War noticed that there was a new Holy Grail in America. And the ley lines in New Jersey were flooded with rich mana and are expanding across American soil, which has left them to believe that the number of Masters and Servants would be very high.
Magus have lamented over how the Root is just a distant fairy tale or that they are unable to reach it within their lifetime. Once they learned that there was a Holy Grail War that was powerful enough to summon many Servants, they took a step or perhaps even just half a step reaching towards Akasha, the root of everything. The ultimate ambition of the Magus is to reach it, and many have focused their experiments in their lifetime into discovering a path to it. Now this new Holy Grail would be their golden ticket to reach it now.
But still, it was a strange fuck of the grail to be able to summon so many servants and still leak rich mana down to the soil. It would take nearly double the number of servants to activate the Grail. Once a certain number of servants had died, the Grail would become a wish-granting tool, even more, servants would need to die to become a passage to the Root.
Once that number was reached or over it, it would certainly become an all-out war against each other and their servants just to reach the Grail first to use it. And from the looks of it, the number of people who can enter the Root would be just a handful.
Time would slowly creep by and a certain number of Masters would be picked for reasons no one would be sure about. There was no telling who had become a Master, and normal protocols were being ignored for once in a lifetime. Many have begun to panic fearing that they wouldn't be able to summon their servants to the class they wanted. With the war over their heads, many people have begun their work by finding an artifact or hiring someone to steal an artifact from different museums. Some even have the guts to steal one from other Magus workshops or even killing each other to just get one that they needed. In other words, the whole thing seemed to go full circle and would soon turn into a simple battle of magecraft between magus, in the end.
It would be a competition to obtain the catalysts of a local or strong Servants to help them win the Holy Grail War and win them the ambition of reaching the Root. When this incident was over, the Sixth Holy Grail War would begin soon and war to reach the Root would start the right way. This time, there would be no stopping them when their goal was the only thing on their minds.

"Should we tell them it is not a Holy Grail War at all?"
"Nah, they are going to be hella disappointed, let's just go back to our protagonist Benjamin and his servants."
Benjamin had no idea why he suddenly had a cold chill down his spine as he was busy eating his food. He was sighing in his thoughts. It looked like that cat was out of the bag...well half of it at least.
The incident has caused the whole world to go into a mass panic, that the new President of America, George Walker Bush, had to calm down the public citizens. The aftermath caused the U.S government to put a bunch of law enforcements on nearby cities, to keep eyes on any terrorist attack and improve the security of each city. The law enforcement units, especially SWAT teams, all would respond alarmingly quickly to any and all emergencies now. They would be notified beforehand of situations now because of how easily the SWAT units were defeated so quickly. Hell, he even heard that the government has increased the number of law enforcements to combat those incidents. Many airports have more guards to double check the entrance, the main lobby, and everywhere else. Security has tightened and is now more alert than ever.
As a result, of the so-called attack, many governments across the world have passed legislation to combat terrorism in hopes that this incident would not happen again. The U.S government additionally introduced a Homeland Security Act to coordinate domestic anti-terrorism efforts in the next few months.
Benjamin took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down after the incident. The news was already spreading around the whole world on TVs, the internet, radios, and newspapers. The Holy Church and The Mage's Association would not be very happy about this development and furious that someone broke the rules. They would try their hardest to find the best people to look for whoever the culprit was, who was responsible for the museum. It would not be long until they would send their soldiers and agents to American soil.
"Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!" A loud voice was heard right next to him in which Benjamin turned his head towards Ozymandias, who was drinking out of his Grandpa's wine bottles that were taken from storage in the basement. He also wore casual clothes because Ozymandias preferred a casual flair to a professional wardrobe in his downtime.
His preference in clothing is a black jacket reminiscent of a suit that is left open to frame his exposed chest and pectoral muscles. He wears the sleeves rolled up just below his elbow. His choice in trousers is black slacks, usually held by a belt. They end a bit above the ankle, revealing some of his lightly shaded skin, with a matching pair of black loafers. A golden tile loose necklace rests more on his shoulders than around his neck. He wears golden cuffs just above his wrists that have two lines that appear to separate the bands. He firmly refuses to put on a shirt below his jacket. He cannot be bothered to cover his chest. As long as it can be seen as fashionable and looks good, you can imagine Ozymandias will wear something like this.
"I must say, Benjamin, your wine is rather splendid." Ozymandias was slouched on a sofa, which he has switched to a chair, saying that he wanted to sit like a king back in his lifetime. He sipped the delicious red wine in his mouth. "The quality of this wine is much better than the one I have drunk my life."
"Tell me, Benjamin, are you a wine collector?" He did not ask, it was more like a demand. Benjamin responded back to the question, "Well, my Grandpa was a winemaker back in his day. He also traveled around the world to collect wine when he was on business trips. I was thinking about getting a job as a winemaker like my Grandpa when I am done with college so I can find out the reason why Grandpa liked to make wine."
Ozymandias smiled at that answer, "I would love to meet your Grandpa, to see how he makes good wine." He prepared his glass, filling it with that delicious wine once more. He smirked at Benjamin, "You entertain me with your motivation and behavior, so tell me, Benjamin, what is your wish on the Holy Grail?" He continued to fill his glass until it was full and gave Benjamin a disarming smile.
Benjamin seemed to ponder the question before answering with an honest voice, "I have no wish on the Holy Grail. Whoever make this golden cup or wishes for something must be delusional, or a person who cannot handle reality." Benjamin was a man who could reconcile between the ideals and reality. A dream and ideals are all well and good, but he was making sure that he lived in a real world, not a world where everything about idealism and dreams was always right. "I am just simply trying to survive right now, as soon as The Holy Church and The Mage's Association send their soldiers after me because of that stunt we just pulled."
It was one of Grandpa's lessons, "Live the dream, but do not live inside the dream." In other words, use your dreams as a guide, but never see them as holy writ that will never be wrong. Benjamin wanted to be sure that his dreams were a reality, but at the same time, he used his head and was not to be so blinded by his ideals that he would lose his grip on reality. He knew that the world was full of wonders and often heartwarming, but it's also full of unfairness, cruelty, and Tear Jerkers. Sometimes there was more bad than good in the world, sometimes there was more good than bad in the whole world.
Ozymandias stared at him, his golden eyes were filled with amusement. "Oh, a person who is both amusing and interesting. You fight to survive, not for any ideals or dreams." He was intrigued by him, "I like that. What type of world makes a being like you?" Benjamin simply just said two words, "My Grandpapa."
Ozymandias exclaimed joyfully. "Splendid!" The King of Kings' voice rang through the air. "Soon we will assemble enough servants to conquer the whole world!"
"How many times do I have to say it, again and again?" A new voice came from Benjamin's another side, "I have no intention of joining your army or allowing you to freely conquer the world as you please."
Benjamin turned his head towards a man standing at 180cm. He was not a particularly tall man by modern standards, but still managed to have an imposing stature. He has long, brown hair that cascades down to his mid back. He was dressed in armors as a soldier, with the armor's color as bronze, and had intricate designs etched into the metal. A number of plates ran down his arms ending in gantlets, and his breastplate was partially covered by a strip of white cloth. The cloth extended downwards and joined with a white robe that covered his legs, though it showed that his boots were in the shape of dragon's feet. He wore a white cape that extended down to his ankles.
The man's attire was Knightly, far more reminiscent of the garb of crusaders and medieval knights than the Roman armor of his age. The large red cross that was emblazoned across both his chest piece and his surcoat, made it rather difficult to hide his identity... not that he really tries to hide his identity. The form of a red cross on white is known as Saint George's Cross.
You do not need to know who this person is. A highly celebrated saint in Christian churches, a large number of Patronages of this man exist throughout the world.
Saint George also known as the Dragon-slaying Saint of having exterminated a dragon. A Roman soldier and priest in the Guard of Diocletian, who is venerated as a Christian martyr. In hagiography Saint George is one of the most venerated saints in the Roman Catholic Church, Anglican Church, Eastern Orthodox Church, Oriental Orthodox Church, and the Eastern Catholic Churches. He is immortalized in the tale of Saint George and the Dragon and is one of the Fourteen Holy Helpers
A saint of the Catholic Church whose main stories are in the Golden Legend, a collection of legends about saints, and in the Seven Champions of Christendom.
The two legends tell the great heroic sagas of him.
1: In the Golden Legend book, a dragon makes its nest at the spring that provides water for the city of Silene. Consequently, the citizens have to dislodge the dragon from its nest for a time, to collect water. To do so, each day they offer the dragon at first a sheep, and if no sheep can be found, then a maiden must go instead of the sheep. The victim is chosen by drawing lots. One day, this happens to be the princess. The monarch begs for her life to be spared, but to no avail. She is offered to the dragon, but there appears Saint George on his travels. He faces the dragon, protects himself with the sign of the cross, slays the dragon, and rescues the princess. The grateful citizens abandon their ancestral paganism and convert to Christianity.
2: In the Seven Champions of Christendom, he was kidnapped by a witch and raised by her, but he realized she was evil and sealed her in a cave, releasing 6 other saints from the same circumstances. He then went to Egypt and rescued a princess offered as a sacrifice to a dragon, killing the dragon by striking it at a spot uncovered by scales with Ascalon, a holy sword that was offered to him by the witch who had raised him.
The Patron Saint of England was summoned as a Rider-class Servant which surprised Benjamin. He thought Saint George was a Saber-class at first glance until Chiron told him. Saint George's Servant stats which was built to serve as a tank and defensive servant. His Strength and Mana rank are a D, his Endurance, and Luck rank are A+, Agility is C++ and there are four Noble Phantasms in his abilities pocket.
A Heroic Spirit that displays his true strength when he is on the defensive, which makes him a very good bodyguard. He has A-Rank Magic Resistance, enough to be considered a "Magus Killer." He has A+ Endurance and a skill called Soul of a Martyr that allows him to block mental attacks. He has A rank Battle Continuation skills that allows him to keep fighting even if he takes a fatal injury, and another skill that is called Guardian Knight that grants unlimited defensive power as long as he is defending someone else. His holy sword Ascalon grants a large defensive bonus and his horse Bayard that is said to be impervious to harm, and for a single time the horse is capable of completely nullifying a lethal attack.
Saint George was summoned by the Holy Grail with a piece of cloth with white and red colors that was from his robe when Benjamin and his Servants got back from the museum to place the artifacts in the basement for the Grail to use. He appeared from out of the mist and said his true name. He also said, "As long as God will allow it, I will fight on your behalf." It looked like he would gladly devote his soul to him without hesitation. If Benjamin wished to repay this dedication, he should act as a righteous Master to him.
Ozymandias looked at Saint George for a few seconds and just laughed, then he turned back to drinking his wine glass. It seemed he did not care what Saint George said to him at all.
Benjamin sighed, "George, would you please stop antagonizing him. I do not want my house to be on fire as soon you both fight each other with me in the crossfire." As soon as Saint George was summoned, he had already started getting along well with the rest of Benjamin's servants, except Ozymandias who said his true name in the most dramatic way, declaring that he was the God of Heaven, born to save the world from its current state and to have the world kneel before his radiance and power so that he could lead it into a new era and save it. That's when Saint George declared that as a follower of God, he would not let him conquer the world and he said he would not kneel down his rule as he is a follower of Christianity.
George just sighed at Ozymandias but smiled at Benjamin, "Apologies, Benjamin. It's just that I cannot work with a king who believes that conquering the world is the answer, for I am a defender, not a destroyer."
Benjamin nodded at that stalemate, "I know that working with the King of Kings is a pain in the ass, but you have to get used to it. For me, I do not really think that we are actually taking over the world or something like that. I think we are to going to just observe carefully or give the world a helping hand sometimes." Benjamin knew that sooner or later, the whole world would know who he is and where he lives. They would try to kill him for power or use him as a pawn. He would have no choice but to keep moving from one place to another.
"So how does it feel to be brought back to life from the Holy Grail?" Benjamin asked Saint George, who was eating a plate of steaks.
"Master, please do not refer to this evil artifact as the Holy Grail," Saint George hissed as he stopped eating for a minute. "The Grail is a holy relic made by the Holy God. This object has caused so much bloodshed, it shouldn't be called by the same name as the sacred cup." He regained his composure, "So much bloodshed, and so many people have died for just one wish, it's just not worth it." The Holy Grail War, the name that was distasteful for Saint George for many reasons. A grand battle in which heroes would truly be summoned to battle each other for a single wish, which was known to all heroes in the Throne and many were eager to await their chance to be summoned to fix something that they had never been able to in their lifetime.
He knew that when he died, his soul came to the Throne of Heroes. It was hard, to say it, this realm was removed from the world he once knew and so much so that time in here had no meaning there. His real connection to the world was the few rare times that he could only hear the calls of those who needed a hero in hopes that it would give them wisdom and guidance in response.
All of the heroes of mankind were gathered in this realm, to be called upon if needed once again. But unfortunately, what it really did was just send forth merely images, hollow echoes, of what they were so that a task could be fulfilled. In other words, a clone of their souls using information from the main body of the Heroic Spirit. An emanation that returns to them as information, in the form of a soul, upon the death of the clone. Disconnected from the main body, they are able to know the actions of the Servant through records, as if reading a book. That meant sending a clone of heroes to the summoners without actually being there and when the clone is done or is destroyed, they would see and know the actions of what they did.
Only the world itself can summon the real main body of Heroic Spirits, but there was never a chance for that to happen. It was really hard to say how he felt about it. He did not particularly care about combat or fighting for the fun of it. All he wanted was to be allowed to join his Lord God and Savoir in heaven, his final resting place. But still, he could still help people accepting that it pales in comparison to actually helping them with a real body. He was a little disappointed that he was not summoned at all, but the last time it happened the Greek hero Achilles was picked instead of him. He wasn't even sure why he felt like this, but he wondered if he had a real chance.
That's when he was summoned unexpectedly. He heard a voice of a summoning calling out to him. He felt mildly surprised when he felt his soul pull away from the Throne Of Heroes. He did not know how, but whoever this person was was trying to summon him in full of a real body. Questions of how and why were irrelevant. This voice was calling to him and the person needed his help. He would do as he had always done aid the person who has summoned him in real flesh and blood and reached forth.
And that is how he met Benjamin, who Saint George has taken a liking to as a good-natured young man.
"Cheer up, George," Benjamin smiled at the virtuous knight, pointing his finger at Atalanta, Chiron, Enkidu, and Alice, who were all eating their food or were chattering with each other at the table. "They are happy that they are alive and well. I know that the Holy Grail is not the real sacred cup, but we should not actually destroy it because I believe that there is only a clump of magical energy inside the cup," Benjamin explained his suggestion. "We should wait for more servants to show up from the summoning ritual to protect the Holy Grail from magus who want to use it for their own selfish reasons and from the Holy Church who would send their executors and exorcists who would kill me for being a heretic."
Saint George put his finger to his chin and nodded his head, "Oh right master, I agreed to that idea for now. I would hope that I could get along with those new heroes. Let's hope that there are no kings like him." Saint George stared at Ozymandias, who was drinking from his wine glass and laughing at the TV screen who was reporting what happened in the museum robbery.
Benjamin put his hand to his cheek and exhaled, "Let's hope so, George. One crazy king is enough for me after the event we just did and has caused the whole world to notice us."
"Do not worry, Master," Saint George said. "I will make sure that you are to be protected and no one should be able to attain the Holy Grail for fear that it might fall into the wrong hands."
Benjamin smiled at those words, "Thank you for saying that, George."
"But first, we should cook more steaks for our big eater here," Benjamin said, turning his head towards Atalanta, who shoved an empty plate to him. He also saw Alice reading his book. He still wondered how long she was going to keep reading it.
"And to feed your horse named Bayard, George." He pointed at the window, which revealed a balanced shaped horse nibbling on the grass outside of his house. The horse's skin was so white, like pure snow, and bronze armor that covered its vital areas, forming shin guards around its hooves.
In Benjamin's mind, he wondered how much a horse eats every day and pondered if any Riders servants would bring their horses or legendary beasts. That would make his life even harder to feed those kinds of animals. He did not want to know if they would bring their ships or vehicles if they had one in their lifetime because Ozymandias's ship was also outside.
So the new servant is Saint George, I chose him because he is one of the most unused servants to use in fan-fic, which I was getting tired of seeing the same overused servants that appear in many people's Fate fanfics... you know what I mean. I want to use other servants that are rare to use at all or have very small roles in many fanfics. So you will see servants that are from Fate/Extra (ccc), Fate/Apocrypha, Fate/KOHA-ACE, Fate/strange fake, Fate/hollow ataraxia, Fate/Prototype and Fate/Prototype: Fragments of Blue and Silver first and then Fate/stay night and Fate/Zero in the future chapters.
In chapter 15, the whole world is in a mass panic because of that event. It has changed the History timeline a lot. The Clock Tower is in a lockdown and The Holy Church has an emergency meeting and called everyone in their group back. The magus that are all around the World is hearing that there is a new Holy Grail in America. So every magus is fighting each other for catalysts that they want to in the war. Some of them have already stolen catalysts in magus workshops and are killing each other. Everyone is trying to figure out what is happening there. Plus, it would provide a cover for Benjamin.
A/N: Please keep in mind that there would be no Holy Grail war or any kind of it. It would be just Heroics Spirit interacting with other people and the modern world, more like a mess for everyone's head a lot. Why I said that because I am sick of reading so many Holy Grail Wars in Fate/stay night in FanFiction or the crossovers, which always show the Main Characters fighting in the fifth or fourth Holy Grail war. That almost has servants that are from fate zero or stay night, which is sometimes a Saber or archer class. It gets really boring after so many stories.
The year in this story is an Alternate timeline of 2001 right now in the chapter. After the fifth Holy Grail War (In which routes are that? It is a custom route which is a mix of Fate, UBW, and HF parts which is in my story). I know that the fifth Holy Grail War takes place in 2004, so I decided to alter the timeline a bit more for an interesting event that's going to take place in the next three months in the future of the story.
Please leave a review and a favorite to this story. Any good suggestions or ideas that would be interesting for me to write down for the next chapter
