28. Chapter 28

A/N: Hello again, people. I am back to give you another updated chapter (13,213) and sorry that it took a very long time to post this, almost two months now. The reason why it is taking so long to update was that I am learning and trying to pass my driving test on the DMV, which slows my writer creativity, can not sit on my computer much and struggle with fear that people would critique my work too much and can't get my thoughts out which was different for me to think what is going happen next. Trying to get Lord El-Melloi II, Luvia, Rin, Shirou's personality right in one short scene without OOC personality.

Two months of new servants that show, which means I have to rework the list of OC servants. I have to remove and add new OC Servants that were hilarious to add into the Fate Grand Order servants list and unexpected to make it in-game.

Add new OC servants:

1: George Washington (Archer/Rider) note: I have to summon a servant from America so the reviews can stop asking to summon an OC servant from America and because he is summoned in America, that means he gets blessed with additional skills and noble phantasms. I want to show him as a general, learning firsthand how it feels to lead all of your troops straight into a massacre. Not all war heroes are perfect straight from the get-go. In Washington's case, he took careful steps over time to learn and hone his craft of commanding and fighting. He knew what to do, when to do it, and how it had to be done in order to achieve victory. At first glance, Washington seems to be the quintessential American icon. A strong leader with powerful convictions, willing to stand up for what's right and use all the power available to him to ensure justice is upheld for all. Polite, but firm, a shining example and a perfect hero, fighting for all the nation he founded stands for.

However, beneath that, there's a different side to Washington. A man who finds himself unworthy of the position he has been granted as the face of a nation. He knows himself to be a flawed man... however, he believes he cannot afford to let people see this side of him. The nation, and indeed the world, needs an idea. not an imperfect human being. And so, he tries his best to keep the flag held high and to be the figurehead the people need him to be.

2: Pocahontas (Lancer) note: Wasn't expecting to see Pocahontas here, well since Christopher Columbus was unexpectedly added into the game, so I need someone who can watch him closely to act as a rival type character for him and if he tries to force his old world values and bring back slavery then he is going get cut down ruthlessly. Her story has been romanticized over the years, and she is a subject of art, literature, and film. This false depiction of her life and struggles has been obscured by the lie of the 'Noble Savage'.

So the Innocent Monster skill would be a clever way to integrate the 'noble savage' part of her lore into her real-life self as fictionalized events of her life are more famous and have erased her true life. Pocahontas is a noble, free-spirited and highly spiritual young woman. Although she possesses wisdom beyond her years, she holds nothing but disdain and hatred to those who have contributed to the destruction of her people's culture. She will dislike those who have originated from England on principle, however those who directly profited and contributed towards the attack on her people will be marked for death. While intrigued and fascinated by the modern world and its various wonders, she dislikes the way it makes people isolated from each other.

3: Enheduanna the Lady of the Heaven (Caster) note: Now I know that this seems random to you but I want an OC servant from the Middle East so I picked her because she was the first known holder of the title, "En Priestess," and one of the earliest women in history whose name is known. She was also the first known name and oldest known poet and writer in history. She was the "High Priestess" of Sumer and Akkad during the time of Sargon the Great, her father, who ascended as the King of Babylon after the reign of the King of Heroes' Dynasty centuries later. At first glance, a person without knowledge on who she actually is will think Enheduanna is an alluring and kindhearted woman with an angelic voice and a seductive body. Although close to the truth of her self, it's truly far from it. She's a mischievous woman and a schemer to an extent that she won't hesitate to spin her words and songs to pull the strings of people. Due to her way of life, people being controlled by her songs was of everyday occurrence.

However, she's in fact not fundamentally evil. While pulling people to what she desired, it was not to an extent that it was without reason, her wish in her new form as a Servant was simple: it's to connect with someone. During her life, she had connected men and gods and pulled the strings of fate for it. Unfortunately, not once has she had the experience of "personal connection." It's not a daring wish that she would give her life for, rather it's more of to pass time and live a satisfying endeavor. As such, something like a "love without restraints." For how much humans had evolved in terms of faith and fate? For her who had watched men be a puppet to the gods, she sang for, discovering a new found way of entertainment would be her deepest desire.

Remove the old OC servant:

1: Golem Jewish (Berserker) note: I have to remove this servant because my interest died down and I did not have any ideas for him.

2: Penthesilea (Lancer) note: Since she is hilarious adding into the Fate Grand Order without realizing at some point of time so I have removed her out of the list which the only thing that I don't like about her is that she is wearing a breastplate that only covers her breasts and panties for protection of her vital organs, which I would add Greek armor that resembles Nephenee's armor from Fire Emblem Tellius to cover that up.

So there were 41 reviews, which is a lot, but some of them were questions and suggestions that are still terrible and badly-implemented ones, but I answered those ideas. I will not try to answer all of the reviews. I am not going to answer about summoning an OC servant, complaining about my grammar checks, suggestions for a crossover idea that has been overused already, and trying to give me a very complicated idea that is so confusing and hard for me to answer back to you. I am also not going to answer almost the same questions that some reviews keep repeating over and over. Go, look back to the other chapters to see those types of questions.

Time to answer some of your questions.

UNSC indomitable: You are welcome and I don't really care it is a rip off as long it is something new and feels really unique compared to the usual Shirou x Rin/Saber stories. About Shinji, I really don't like writers designing a character to be so despicable and generally hated whose only purpose is to deserve a beating and get it from the hero in a cheap way which I feel tired of the hate of that character and just feeling irritated by it.

Xylade: Thanks as I am trying to add more dialogue to the original characters and servants as not make them look like background. Yes, Fate/Apocrypha manga/anime and Fate/Grand Order game helped me gain the inspiration to write once. Also, I am not going to talk about the Servants that you want to be summoned.

UNSC Know Your Place: Thank you for saying that and that is a good idea to convert things to money. The ship name of Benjamin and Enkidu is Benkidu.

Kuudo Smith: I would summon Medusa to have Rider and Lancer class with a Harpe and nail-like dagger attached to a long chain as her main weapon based on the First Order anime. I would not have Minato Arisato as a savior or ruler class in my story because this is not a crossover story, this is a Fate stay night. Lancelot's Noble Phantasm For Someone's Glory would take the Appearance of his Saber class which it is possible to use For Someone's Glory without calling upon the Black Knight's armor. Your rambling about other servants is not going to happen as I am not picking favorites. How Alaya or Gaia react to this event, they are confused as hell which the reason why none of them send their agents is because they wait for one of them make the first move which becomes a Mexican standoff as it remains unresolved until some outside event makes it possible to resolve it.

ArcherShirou; Thanks, I guess?

Dragongodslayer7: Not really, it is because Benjamin gets distracted by her beauty which is how you would react when seeing a beauty for the first time.

Piddle: Yes, at a later point.

Galer: Unfortunately the issues with the Fate stay Night main character (Shirou Emiya) that's supposed to be an inherently dark take on the genre on the concept of heroes and heroism examines the concept of ideals, what it takes to change ideals, and what kind of resolve a person needs to have in order to have a will to support those ideals and a deconstructed character archetype of martyr without a cause, chronic hero syndrome, and other related "hero" archetypes. Which, even then, he refuses to let go of his need to help people to the point where it starts to look less like idealism and more like a neurotic compulsion (A disorder marked by uncontrollable impulses to perform stereotyped, irrational acts). And there is the Fate Zero main character (Kiritsugu Emiya) who is supposed to be an inherently dark take on the genre on the dark and edgy on what does it really take to be a hero of justice, and just how far would you be willing to go to find out and deconstructed character archetypes of necessarily evil / I did what I had to do anti-hero, but to other people's point of view he is rather a self-deluded person with a martyr complex, convinced that he could shoulder the burden of his own choices, along with the consequences and grief from all of those he wronged in the process, and still consider his actions to be correct. Both of them never adapted, always go for the shortcut to victory, no matter the price, and they believed that it could have given them an edge which in fact that they are a glass cannon and a one trick pony that relies way too much on their skill and has a problem with asking others for help.

Its half assed deconstructions don't really work that well and those main characters from both of the series fixing their problem in the most ineffective way possible, flailing about trying to fix things that can not and should not be fixed, barely thinking even afterward causes problems, getting themselves killed in the most stupid way. Which, in my defense, one of the things that always drives me batshit about certain scenes of animes is the way certain characters act so damn thoughtlessly. Well, it's excusable if the character is young and naive or impulsive and half-crocked on power most of the time. But, I hate it when somebody is said to be/acts smart and then turns around and acts stupid and rashly in the heat of the moment without really thinking things through, it's more common to see these characters stating what they could do instead of actually doing it. I think a proper deconstruction should be a mature way, a big hit which at least critically in a realistic way, like the book A Song of Ice and Fire.

So what would happen if the servants appeared in dark souls or the dark soul's character appeared as servants in fate stay night? It would better further into chaos or worse with disastrous consequences in the story.

King0fP0wers chapter 27. Jun 11: Angra Mainyu's evil master plan is very simple as it is not so dramatic or complicated that can bog down in plots and rigidly-structured plans that make no sense at all. Most of the villain's master plans are actually predictable to the point where it's possible to guess what villains would do next and 90% of the time, their goals are something along the lines of "take over the world, corrupt the world, terminate one type of race considering bloodlines to be inferior to their own, did for evil or chaos." Well, you get the point now as every villain's plan is just so... cartoonishly evil, with every line of dialogue from them being all the horrible, monstrous things they plan on doing to the earth/person. Whatever reasons they have for wanting this are glossed over at best, and there's not a single care of what they are saying.

About all those magu, Fate Stay Night group and the police force who are speculating about who this Mastermind really is or what his main plan is, that's how it actually was in the case of politics. Hidden meanings and coded messages and stuff. But yeah, these guys are trying to find something that doesn't exist and just feed their own fears and paranoia. That's what makes me laugh when I write down their ramblings and assumptions about Benjamin and Flanna. Ben's Faction gets actual opposition by a dragon and there would be some fights between the Alter Servants, which I will write about this later.

From what I found in Fate series lore about the Mage's close combat is that an accomplished mage had no reason to fear a hoodlum or two but is totally unsuited to direct combat and if suddenly knifed from behind in the wrong place then he/she would die. Assuming that they had specialized in combat, a mage of sufficient stature to receive the Clock Tower rank of Pride or Brand would make nothing of a whole gang, or even a small detachment of a regular army. It was even said that an extremely small portion of mages who had mastered the art of combat was capable of taking on the army of a small country alone and barehanded.

Also about the battle of Magi between police officer's capabilities in this chapter, I know that some of the magu were easily killed and beaten by normal police force in this chapter 28 that because I found that Reinforcement Magecraft spell was not that common which most Association magi would neglect considering the fact that it doesn't really help them reach Akasha. I did show in this chapter that most of Association magi are either ungodly skilled, good magicians, once-in-a-generation geniuses, and super ninjas and can give the police force a hard time. But in close combat, they are taken down easily as they rely almost solely on mana-augmented brute physical force and have weaker bodies than the heavily armed and well-trained SWAT force. While some of them do have some skill in swordplay and martial art, but that is not enough to really match up to specialists who wear body armor and are highly trained to take them down. After all, if one had time to train one's body, one could easily spend that time on learning magic. Also, since most of them are firm believers in the superiority of magecraft over modern weapons, this causes them to underestimate the modern law enforcement and police operations.

MaxHD2490 chapter 27. Jun 12: Well, Benjamin doesn't understand why Beowulf has the lowest possible rank in Mad Enhancement and doesn't suffer from any loss of reason from it at all. He thinks that the Holy Grail has a glitch that was the cause of it. The reason why Benjamin reacts to Brynhildr being beautiful is because she possesses such gorgeous looks that they could only possibly belong to a goddess which is how a normal person reacts to an incarnation of beauty.

CD123505 chapter 19. Jun 19: Benjamin and Flanna would find more of the relics that can summon almost all of the servants and yes, I would summon Arcueid (Berserker), Shiki Ryougi (Both Saber and Assassin class). Reactions and experience of Void origin Shiki would be chaos and a field day for magi.

MaxHD2490 chapter 27. Jun 29: Benjamin and Flanna would be wary and nervous when she asks if Achilles is here, then bring him out and if they keep it a secret, she kills them. Hippolyta and Penthesilea clearly have a personal vendetta against Greek heroes to the core (Achilles, Heracles, Perseus, and Theseus) which even Flanna would barely keep them from trying to kill each other.

Reviewer arsehole: Your harsh and nasty comment will be deleted right now. If I see you again, then I will remove any comments of yours and completely ignore you. This is me being really polite to you.

MaxHD2490 chapter 27. Jul 1: That is a second time another reviewer assumes how bad and pathetic my writing skills are, also accusing me that I copy and paste lore from Nasuverse Flavortext which is really not that much (Like one or three sentence). I see some of the Fanfiction writers copy and paste a lot more in their story but I don't call that out because it is not that important. Not only that flame/troll is a hypocrite, he also hasn't checked his grammar right but he is even too scared to actually comment on his profile and did it as a guest instead, which I want to see how bad his hand writing is on his profile.

I do have standards about grammar as I see some of the Fanfiction writer's stories that are read like a story script, words are going everywhere, real bad sentence pacing, messed up in paragraphs with non-existent dialogues or crunched together. There are some stories that are a nice and very interesting concept to read like "Fate: Unmei no Hikigane by Blazrman" and "Fate: True Reality by Marchen Meines Lebens" but have little or no reviews because:

1: It tends to overuse sound effects in place of action scenes which don't describe what's happening that causes audience to get lost during any kind of action scene. Not to mention that an action scene consisting mostly of sound effects is just plain boring. This only works in the manga because there are pictures to tell you what's happening, but there are no pictures here.

2: Sometimes the structure is very confusing, and it's hard to tell at times who the story is talking about. I feel like this chapter is trying to introduce way too many characters at once, and didn't spend enough time developing the characters enough for the audience to care.

3: Modeling their writing style on stilted fan translations of trashy light novels which are a terrible idea and waste of time of writing unnecessary words that give no purpose.

4: Copy and paste a lot more from Nasuverse Flavortext which you can obviously see it by looking at the example that I put up there in Underlined bold words.

CompuBob: I have to write a super long of AN for each chapter because reviews would not stop asking questions and suggestions that are still terrible and badly-implemented ones. Answering your reviews can also increase the chance of people coming back to the story and I like to answer people's questions.

CCG's Ninja: The reason why siblings are trying to build an army without having an enemy in the story, Flanna and Benjamin have no idea that their group is the bigger fish in the modern world. In spite of this, Flanna plans very cautiously on the grounds and tries to avoid thinking of their group as invincible since she believes that there might still be something or someone in the modern world, there might be a bigger fish than their group which might be half true. Then again, Flanna's inner monologue would show a degree of paranoia rooted in the fear that other organizations are secretly active or plotting against them. Yes, I am preparing for an evil dragon Fafnir that will appear soon in about two or three chapters and the corrupted Servants will appear from the Holy Grail to defend Angra Mainyu. I think that 30 Servants would actually be enough to handle everything but I don't think The Mage's Association and the Holy Church wouldn't back off due to being intimidated by that number of servants. Even Vlad III response from Fate Apocrypha didn't stop them.

legacy30: Not exactly, as you are wrong about some parts of him. Kamijou Touma from Toaru cares less about such concepts as good and evil than simply doing what he considers the right thing to do and also he can not understand why people are assholes who grab power at the expense of others, constantly asking them why they don't use their abilities to make the world a happier place. In any other shounen manga, these would be good qualities to have, but in a realistic view that would make him a horrible judge of character, that honor before any reason absolutely refuses to ignore or abandon anyone in trouble, also has a problem with asking others for help making him a hypocrite. He calls Mikoto Misaka for the exact same thing. Last of all, being an ideal Hero doesn't mean things are going to go well for him and his morality/hero can also make him very judgmental to those who can't be too moral. He couldn't do much about problems within a time of peace, only in times of great crisis is he truly skilled at it ,which at the same time, it gains them followers in some cases, all-powerful villains to join his side whose loyalties are absolute.

LoveSeasons: Good idea of yours, even though I can not find what this magical compass does besides act like a warning system which Rin Tohsaka still has with her in the story. Leonardo da Vinci was summoned to act like a teacher to the siblings to better understand magecraft, even though they are not a magus, which is a good idea that could be even funnier that they may accidentally learn more of Magecraft from the Age of Gods as being closer to Magic than the Modern Magecraft. Like for an example, when they can give a whole new/powerful magical and item to a magus who then cries in joy like a long lost piece of technology that has been lost over time.

Saint rider 890: I am working on that idea of yours and trying to find where to put that idea at the right time which is still not right now.

No flame or spam the comments.

For the Guest reviews, your answers are at the bottom of the chapter.

Update to 8/16/2017: The cops and magu's battle ending had been edited to remove a plot-convenient guide that ruins the story somewhat as Aurain Orimura pointed that out just one day after it was updated. He said it makes no sense except to help the cops as it was the cops trying to rationalize what is going on and now that is ruined because of that small mistake. So I cleaned that part up for his sake and tried to make it a bit more believable.

Somewhere in Vatican City, at the Holy Church

"Alright then, let us begin the meeting." At this table, everyone was equal. There were no superiors or inferiors here. Everyone was a collaborator and a comrade. Indeed, all this was for the safety of mankind from Vampires and to recovery, many holy relics scattered across the globe.

"Our first topic is about the news that involving with servants and how those incidents cause the reveal of magecraft to the whole world."

There was nothing that could possibly be any more important than the sudden advent of this mysterious Mastermind and his unknown number of servants. However, far too few people knew the details of the situation. Most of what they knew was little more than hearsay.

Caren Hortensia was in a meeting in the Holy Church speaking about the latest news of the Holy Grail War. The meeting was underway, speaking their opinions, arguments, recent report from another side of continents. For starters, they knew that the Mastermind was an extremely powerful magic caster who can able to summon unknown number of servants with a lot of magical circuits and modify the Holy Grail system with an extremely good support engine which may have built from the ground up to the parts that dealt with Servant summoning ritual to help him maintain them. And a list of so many supposes ability, character, and magic about the Mastermind.

As one of church member reported these details in his capacity as the meeting's organizer. Just then, someone spoke out:

"I knew we shouldn't have let it happen, we should have intervened in that war with more support right way now instead of sit here do nothing, send one member Maria Black to that place by herself!"

"What are you saying? An open battle against a Magician who controls a group of servants is extremely dangerous and death sentence. Didn't we all agree on that earlier? You might have objected back then, but don't try to overturn our previous decision of getting everyone killing by your own fanatically. Although, I didn't think he would actually do something like that in front of public people in broad daylight."

The group nodded one after the other but at this moment, the hostility in the room seemed to swell, there are some who can not keep their mouth shut.

"What the hell. What pit of hell did this Magician come from anyway!?"

"This is an outrage!"

"Damn that Mastermind! It's all his fault!"

"This has gotten far too long. At this rate, the whole world might even know the existence of magecraft and every organization in few months ."

"Whoever this heathen is, he must be stopped. Has there been anyone that can stop him?"

"The Mage's Association has sent Lord El-Melloi II and his small group of mages to deal with this issue."

"Small? That's not enough to stop him. To him, it would be much of slapping a fly in his face. What were they thinking of sending Lord El-Melloi II and group of his followers with him?"

"Were there anyone else besides Lord El-Melloi II and his group were sending to America?"

"The Clock Tower has already sent a group of enforcers to scout head before Lord El-Melloi II to investigate where the Holy Grail was located in what cities."

"Their operation had been planned in detail, organizing fifty enforcers. When it began, it was proceeding perfectly in every respect when they got there. However, everything was soon ruined by servants who kill them one by one."

"Those fifty enforcers were found dead and their bodies show on TV New!" "This Holy Grail War is on an utterly different scale from the ones we have experienced so far!"

"And there was a number of other countless Magi who decide to try their luck goes there and are found with their body mutilated so badly, it can't be known what weapons were and what was not."

This meeting has been going long enough with yells and outrage with each other, it was starting to annoy Caren who just watches the whole scene as members go back and forth with their opinions of this event. So she decided to step in the conversation and get to the point of this meeting. "This is a waste of time. You're just saying things that we already know over and over. I see that you're all scared with that face of your but if we keep sitting here and do nothing, this Master would win the Holy Grail War and the fault will be yours and with Mage's Association too. I am going to need a catalyst now and go there right ways."

Everyone did not take her tone lightly. "Watch your tongue, young lady." One of them said to her in annoyance. "This meeting was to gather information and what can we do stop him."

"No, I believe she's right," A voice calls out. "This meeting was already a waste of time and she has a voice here too just as much as you do."

Everyone looked at the source of the voice. There was an old age man with short white hair and a white beard. His face is wrinkled with age and his eyes are blue. He is wearing Archbishop clothing. His most distinguishing characteristic is his missing left forearm. He has demonstrated to be a calm and reasonable individual. Even when faced with overwhelming odds.

This man is one of the Church's superiors, Archbishop Alessandro Carmichael, head of the Magic Concealment Division. The Magic Concealment Division is a small branch of the Holy Church, dedicated to making sure that any magecraft or magecraft related events are concealed from the public eye and provide cover up stories by manipulating the media.

"Alessandro, you dare show your face here. You're supposed to be in charge of not letting the world know the existence of magecraft, yet you did nothing? If we weren't so busy with this disaster, we would've punished and banished you."

"You are correct, I did nothing. However, have you guys noticed how this world has changed so much now? With the rise of modern technology, it's quite easy to upload a video recorded by a video camera or camera phone, which almost every person has, into the internet and it only takes is a few seconds. Even if I intervened, it would be already too late." Alessandro explained. "And besides I am sure that everyone here has no idea to handle a computer well enough to hack into it and that goes to the Mage's Association." He hear from Lord El Melloi II points out, the rise of the internet and social media has made it much harder to keep something as big as a Holy Grail War under wraps and predicts that the world of magecraft will be fully revealed within the next five years. It might even be earlier than that, as the museum incident was revealed on national television mere minutes and is later uploaded to Youtube.

Almost everyone in the meeting can not help but nod to that argument while the Holy Church member know how to use technology to a standard level and on a daily life sometimes. Meanwhile, on other hands, most oldblood mages consider technology and other useful tools to be dishonorable and, more importantly, below their standard and a legitimate threat to their magical daily life which they generally have no clue how it works.

"I believe Archbishop Carmichael has made a valid argument. So with that in mind, can I have my catalyst?" Caren asked.

"Actually Miss Hortensia, it's not gonna be possible to obtain a catalyst or even participate the Holy Grail War," Alessandro said sadly. "The Mastermind has already predicted that someone would try to join in the War."

"―Haaaah?" Everyone thought in their mind.

"Why?" Caren asked. "What do you mean?" "Explain."

"I just got a message from the Mage's Association, it says that do not try to summon servants, you will probably die if you do," Alessandro explained. "We got many witnesses that have reported that summoning circles do not work with servant summon chant or anything else."

Everybody was perplexed. How is it possible?

Caren was shocked but curious.

"Is there anything else?" Caren asked.

"It appears that there's some sort of creature that appears when you try to summon a servant." Alessandro began. "It would try to kill the summoner, takes the catalysts and when it recedes back into the summoning circle then it would soon explode, probably to cover up its trail."

"What! This can't be true!"

"How can this be!"

"Impossible, there is no way that someone can able to modify the system to that kind of level."

"I know it sounds hard to believe, but I assure you all, it's true," Alessandro said as he met his eyes to them. "We got so many reports about this which it is really hard to make up a lie with these many people at the all the more people that are involved in a lie, the harder it is to maintain it. And by the time it gets to be around six to eight, someone's expression will betray that they know it is not real." Alessandro saw the looks on everybody's face while he spoke. "It was possible that everything that had happened until now was part of his plan."

"how is this possible?"

"It's that damn master. He's becoming a bigger threat than he already is. He must be stopped."

"How elaborate was his scheme, anyway!?"

"I won't say it, but how far ahead is he?!

"What should we do about this now?!"

"Then-"

A brief clapping of hands from Archbishop Carmichael who soon believe that the debate was about to heat up once again promptly cooled down.

"That is not only the problem too as I got new from Maria Black who was observing there and how many servants does he have." However, there's been a slight problem, so the report was delayed for a few hours. I beg your forgiveness." The problem in question probably referred to the fact that Maria Black look stressed out and nervous by recent events, locked herself in her church which she had been in there for quite some time. At least, that was what everyone thought.

"Then, we shall distribute the records of what she reported. These have not been verified by others; they're just her account of what she has over there." Archbishop Carmichael said to them as he hands out the papers for each other.

How troublesome, everyone thought, though they did not say it. They took the records and studied them. That when they stopped after the last piece of paper. They went over the same part over and over again. They had the same stiff expressions and their faces slowly grew pale even Caren who her eyes open little wide as she read it too.

Archbishop Carmichael smiled to see the changes in their expressions. He had been through the same thing that was happening to them now, and he was glad to be in this misery loved company and the way that their faces react to this.

And then, as though to represent everyone else, one of the church members shouted. His mouth opened so wide that his glasses fell off, but he did not seem to care about that. "Impossible! How could anything like this Holy Grail possibly exist in this world and manage to stockpile magical energy at a higher speed to summon this much?!"

"I told you earlier, didn't I? This is just a description of what she claimed to have found over there." Archbishop Carmichael said very calmly to them as he shut up in the face of that man's cold response. "From Maria Black report that she believes that there would be more of them being summoned and how much it would be that she can not say," "What I do know that whoever he is, this Mastermind tries to summon as many servants as possible."

The church member was panting like he had just been sprinting. As he struggled to get his breathing back under control, Caren decided to ask another question, to see if someone shared her opinions. "Can you say that again? Is this actually real?"

"If everyone here still believes the word of Maria Black, then it is," Archbishop Carmichael simple answer to her. "But I'd love to see someone with the balls to accuse her of making a false report," he added, grinning evilly.

Almost everyone nodded. Not only was Maria Black's reputation as a woman of good character accepted across Europe, an idiot would publicly doubt the veracity of her word. Doing so would result in a long white rapier through the chest with many humans and magus who are best advised to avoid her in close quarters as even unarmed she is capable of bringing down multiple enemies. While Maria Black may be young for a Executors but she was trained to fight dead apostles, Maria is very skilled in handling herself in the midst of combat. If left unattended even the strongest of the undead will fall prey to her as she considered to be the equivalent of a modern-day crusader, Maria is highly skilled in the use of her weapon. Her skill is comparable to even the best of the executors, she lacks inhuman strength or even tricks as her other allies. But she makes up for this in skill with her weapon that allows her to strike down anything caught off guard by her.

With pained looks on their faces, they all looked back to the papers they were holding. They had all stopped at the same place - what appears to be the composition of the Mastermind and how powerful this Holy Grail was.

"Sixteen servants (at least three Rider class, two Archer class, three Lancer class, two Caster class, one Assassin class, four Berserker class and one Ruler class) led by one Master..is it? If they went full force it won't matter if it's the Mage's Association, the Holy Church, Atlas Academy, Wandering Sea or the Demon Hunter Organization they'd all be destroyed!" A church member yells as he stares at the paper, "As would we. If these servants swarmed us, we'd need centuries or two to recover from the damage."

A low-level servant can easily match modern military force or brutally massacres a two whole battalion (That around 300 to 800 number) of enforcers/executors or more by itself.

A middle-level servant is on a level that could destroy a city or a small country single-handedly which can easily trample 250,000 enemy troops with its own skills and Noble Phantasms far beyond the ability for a single person to fight a servant.

A high-level servant is pretty much a national level threat or world level disasters who can wield the might of a thousand armies and are on a level that they could not even hope to deal with. They were in completely different dimensions. When one thought about it, the very idea was laughable.

"Was she mistaken? Maybe the Mastermind noticed our surveillance of the spirit board and used false information to confuse us." One of the priests put that possibility forward as he stretched out his withered, branch-like arms. "It wouldn't be surprised if he knows the spirit board that we give it to the overseer of Holy Grail War that can perfectly grasp the state of Servants as he can feed misled information to us."

"Oh", the surrounding people murmured to each other hope to accept that assumption, but Archbishop Carmichael shattered that possibility of illusion.

"The Magic Concealment Division getting a massive mana which is too real to be false and I has already triple check their findings and their equipment all the data came back positive this is a real information, not a forgery so it is impossible to be false. While it is true she might not have the full picture of things, she- Maria Black was also in charge of providing intelligence support to the small branch of the Holy Church. There is no way she could have been mistaken. In addition, we have verified sightings of servants in many cities of New Jersey sometimes out of the state like New York, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Maryland.

That was answered by several defeated sighs and depressed faces except for Caren Hortensia who her face shows stoic and mysterious nature. All they could do was acknowledge the point and the reality in voices full of fatigue and fearful tone, and then they continued discussing the matter about this issue.

"What should we do? What is the best course of action for ourselves, as the protectors of mankind and the security of magecraft? What can we do about sixteen servants without able to summon our own servants to opposed them, each of them can destroy a nation by themselves?" "Also how can the Mage Association expect to take countermeasures against them?"

"So their forces can be an equivalent to 500 small countries as it continues to grow… that's insane, right? How badly could that force upset the balance between the whole world?"

"The question is, what does the Mastermind intend to do with that kind of military force? If he just intends to have them defend his territory, it won't be a problem in the short term anything."

"How could that be? It's far too much just for defense. Also, is the Mastermind is a Magician too if the rumors about him are true? I'm sure he'll use his power to assault the neighboring countries when he has gathered enough force."

"It doesn't matter how the Mastermind intends to use his military strength or what is his goal. What matters is what we can do about it."

"What sin did we commit against heaven and earth to warrant that?"

"The number is not the problem. The problem is who or what is this person?"

"It is just as you say but…"

"The possibility is high. What a terrible guy."

The men clad in priest robes exchanged their various opinions. As they believed in the same religion, the discussion continued rough. One did not look for the ideas from an individual but instead got them from the entire group.

"Then… can there be anyone from Association or the Church on par with Servants able to combat and deal with them? That's the most important thing." There are some being than Servants who are able to combat Servants but are actually few of them in modern times and there is some divine equipment that harms a servant to inflict any sort of fatal injury. In contrast, the Holy Church has Ciel and Riesbyfe Stridberg who claimed are able to battle Servants on an equal ground with their conceptual weapons and the Mage's Association have Aoko Aozaki a Magician capable of utilizing the Fifth Magic and Touko Aozaki who is one of the most powerful magi in the world if both of Aozaki work together can may be able to defeat a servant.

All eyes went to Archbishop Carmichael who chuckled. Some people smiled in response to his laughter if know the answer right away. But those smiles froze on their faces as they heard what he said next. "It's impossible. I say this as the head of the Magic Concealment Division anyone who expects them to face sixteen servants must be an absolute madman to think like that. It would have been bad enough even if they were only present in equal numbers because we don't even know much about servants to even get them to face the servants."

The nature of Carmichael's smile changed. "It's different for those who can fight a servant face to face without a special trump card which is likely too much for anyone at the Association or the Church, not even the Aozaki or the Burial Agency."

"Ohh," went the sounds of depressed in their voice once again. Sensing the weighty air of fatigue around him, everyone quietened down.

It would theoretically require an someone on the level like the 27 Ancestors, Kishima Kouma, or Aozaki Aoko to take one servant down with an extremely average Noble Phantasm. But defeating two servants would be out of the question without a trump card as a servant who mostly like have a slightly higher advantage depends on compatibility since each servant have their own Noble Phantasms and among the Servants, there are ones that have ridiculously powerful ones and because they are heroes who have disproportionally high defense for their level makes them incredibly hard to defeat through sheer numbers. By the power and fighting ability, no living magus even Barthomeloi Lorelei and her Chelon Canticle Brigade could fight on par with a Servant. Even Ciel, who is blessed with high magical capabilities can only fight defensively with one. The average NP alone is beyond their capabilities and many servants have an innate magical resistance that could only be trumped by modern ritual magics or special tools. There might be ways to win by being clever, or tricky, though.

If even they could not handle a threat like this, then they could ask Twenty-seven Dead Apostle Ancestors to deal with this but the Holy Church would rather burn in the deepest hell then work together with those diseases that need to be cut off. However, if could have happened in some way the sheer number of servants made them very uneasy. Most of the Twenty-Seven Dead Apostle Ancestors, in realistic relatively speaking: being former magi who transformed themselves in vampires, their bodies are invariably slim and they lack knowledge of combat without magecraft, allowing magically weaker but physically more prepared opponents to easily overcome them once they come close enough... Assuming they can back their punches with enough strength to overcome their powerful magically-backed resistance to damage and healing factor (whenever they're wounded, their Curse of Restauration turns the body back in time to just before they were wounded. The strongest the Dead Apostle or similar vampiric creature is, the greater the damage they can heal this way).

"Let's consider about Ruler class first. To begin with, the Mastermind has summoned a Ruler class in his group. The air seemed to crackle and freeze as Archbishop Carmichael said that words.

"That Mastermind has somehow managed to turn the standard system and auxiliary reserve system of the Holy Grail to let the Grail identifies him as only the participant in the Holy Grail war and no one else!" An executor yell in rage and disbelief voice. "How is that possible for him to able do that!"

"Not only that, he was able to somehow get the Ruler-class Servants to be in his group even that class is not to suppose takes neither side of the battle, but only acts in the interest of the Grail," A priest said as his hands shook nervously in the table. "Either he modifies the Holy Grail system to able get the Ruler servant to be his master or he is a charismatic charmer person to able persuade a Ruler servant of all class to make him/her follow in his plan of his."

Ruler servant is special class act as a mediator of the Holy Grail War are not designed primarily combat. The Ruler class has command spells to restrict servants who break the rules and a unique ability that allows them to scan around their position from a wide range within 10 kilometers radius. The scan allows them to search for servants position which can even overcome Assassin's Presence Concealment ability and learn their identity.

"Ruler class is not supposed to have Master as they are only summoned when the rail has been tampered with, or it's original purpose has been thrown off course." Only the Three Founding Families and the high-rank members of the Church know most of the system. "We should not have agreed to be the Supervision for this false markup Holy Grail ever since the Mage's Association invite us to be involved with this War instead we could have just dismantled right from the beginning."

Soon there was shouting and yells with each other.

"Enough! we need a solution as soon possible." Archbishop Carmichael said as he slams the table. "We have waste enough times argue with each other and we should need to think about making contact with the Mastermind, ask him what is his intentions with the Mage's Association and us (the Church)."

"It's too risky. It's far too risky. We should instead go to Lord El-Melloi II and his followers and gain information from the people there, and then make contact with Mage's Association." It was no secret anymore that back in recent years, the relationship between the Mage's Association and Holy Church was frosty at best but ever since the museum incident where the servants and reveal of magecraft was shown the whole world which turns into a cold war and barely any trust between the two organizations.

That caused two of the organization to quickly into a blaming contest with the Cardinal and Pope blaming the Association for letting the Holy Grail war to ever start in the first place and fail at handles the media while Association's vice director Barthomeloi Lorelei and unnamed main Director, in turn, blaming them for failing to manipulates information and keeping the war a secret. Because of that, the two main organization fail to realize who was responsible for this incident. Right now, the Clock Tower was divided roughly into three factions which have been struggled for power all day and night ever since the beginning, has their own option and opinion on this Mastermind and his servants.

The faction headed by Barthomelloi, of which the El-Melloi family was a part, which supported aristocratic rule want to send their whole force down to America to deal with the Mastermind and handed the management to the nobility who had proven to have excellent bloodlines and should able know what to do with him. They need to deal with him as soon as possible, take the offensive which is currently in the middle of preparations for a search team

The Trambelio faction, at whose center was the Valueleta family, who desired a democratic system, showing contempt to Mastermind and feel uncomfortable about him appear out of nowhere that they suggest to detain the Mastermind and put him under their control so the best solution would be to bring him back here as a problematic individual who did not dare reveal his face to the world, his background is absolutely mysterious and with no true name with it but just the nickname.

The Meluastea faction, who represented the neutral faction don't care one way or the other, and just want to do their research in peace but they are eager to have a discussion about magic with the Mastermind who might just be their equal or even surpass them in hopes of seeing the abyss of magic from him. They hope to expand their knowledge of magic from the Mastermind and can hope that he would share wondrous technologies that he may have possessed in his base which they can surely bake out some kind of agreement.

"That would be good, as long as Lord El-Melloi II and his followers don't wag their tails from the Mastermind, that is." An executor points out. "We are sure he would kill everyone in the first official contact."

"It's a gamble, but it can't be helped. If we do nothing but cower in a corner like what Caren Hortensia said, we'll end up having to play catch-up with others." Archbishop Carmichael said to them with a smile and intertwine his fingers. "And not only that we could be left behind with everything that can be useful to us."

"Still, when you say a gamble… how much of a gamble? If we mess it up, it'll become a casus belli for the Mastermind to attack us, no? We should try to understand Lord El-Melloi II stance on the matter before making contact to him."

As everyone agreed on that proposal, someone else asked a reasonable question. "...Still, have there been any report of public's opinion or is there a perfect reign of terror in place?"

After hearing that question, Archbishop Carmichael answer to that question. "According to our reports, it seems that the public people are still living ordinary lives there. There was some confusion at first with the military forces, but it is peaceful for now with security cameras everywhere in the cities." "The people opinion on the servants were a mixed resort with some said that they are a threat to the world while other said that they are heroes."

"Haaah?!" That sound did not fit these people at all, but it could not be helped that they made it.

"That would be a truly unimaginable sight. Is our informant a madman or a satirist?"

"Well, the report states that two servants save a person from being beaten up to death by gang members which they involve the fight that causes the witness to cheer for them."

Everyone's jaws dropped beside Caren Hortensia's.

"Nonono, wait a minute. What? Could you say that again?"

In their faces of the group, Archbishop Carmichael did not change his words as he repeated himself.

Haaah?! Once more, that same unfitting sound escaped them.

"...It seems we have all been underestimating him all this while."

"It would seem that Mastermind doesn't care if the servants were exposed on television and would expose themselves just to save a complete stranger in front of public people in broad daylight."

Carmichael forms a bitter smile from his face and spoke in a friendly manner. "Why so glum? at the all in just a month, everything had changed now."

Self-deprecating chuckles echoed through the room. After the laughter stopped, Archbishop Carmichael spoke again "Then, everyone, let's begin the next topic, Caren Hortensia you're going to America right now with some executors and then-."

Archbishop Carmichael was about to reply but an old priest entered the office in a hurry who was panting and huffing from all the running he had done to get here in a hurry, interrupting the conversation. "Mr. Carmichael! You gotta to see this!"

"What is there trouble?" Carmichael asked. "Is this about servants again?"

"I think you better see it for yourselves. We're bringing the TV right now!"The old priest said as his group of comrades was bringing in a flat-screen TV on a cart that was immediately plugged into a wall outlet of one of the walls between two curtained windows.

All of the meeting group gathered in front of the flat screen television as a random person turned it on to the new channel and a news reporter broke in. "Good evening, citizens of New Jersey. I am Lisa Lavender, breaking new. Tonight an old shipyard was under heavy attack just a few hours ago, we are going to the helicopter camera now."

That elicited a whiplashing shock among the group watching as the new reporter continued on with the broadcast. In public, on camera, on live camera for a third time, even those the Mage's Association and Holy Church couldn't even perform basic information control as the entire damn world is seeing this again.

"Is she serious?!"

"No way he did it again!"

"That can't be!"

"This doesn't sound good!"

"Like it or not, everyone is going to see it once again!"

The group watching the news report would gasp at the sight of a ship that was on fire and explosion from an Egyptian flying ship that was fire laser at nearby warehouses. The news camera zoomed in then and for the first time, people around the country would get a good look at a giant in red Chinese military commander armor turning his halberd into a bow and using the halberds as one arrow, shooting at a group of vehicles and chimeras as the nearby buildings were destroyed and cause a one heck of a crater in the shipyard area.

This caused almost everybody in the room to gasp even louder as the live TV camera shows a man in a Greek armor dive out in one of the buildings as a girl in a brown dress with red wounds all over her pale body was clutched onto the man's arm like a life preserver. The police and new report helicopters follow them as use their spotlight. Then the live TV camera shows two archers from the museum robbery who was taking a pot shot at criminals in a non-lethal area which one of the archers notice the new report helicopter and wave to it which the camera man wave back to him.

The screen abruptly changed to footage taken from a different camera, this one at ground level. Given the low-grade nature, it was probably from a cell phone which displays a man in an armor under his white cloak knock down criminals in the head with the pommel of his sword.

"This incident seems like something that the Enforcers alone will not be able to suppress no long." Archbishop Carmichael murmured to himself. "This incident occurred live in front of several live witnesses, including the media. There is no doubt that the story would spread throughout the country and then beyond America's borders to make international headlines once more."

Now another particular question Carmichael had to consider was what type of response Atlas or the Sea of Estray would have in light of these events. And not to mention the main branch of the Holy Church which every single magus on the planet had to resist the overwhelming urge to punch the monitors as the effects in this world had caused.

"Caren Hortensia, you should begin to start to move now," Archbishop Carmichael said to her which she nods and left the scene with some of the executors follow her while the rest can not help staring at the TV.

Even though Caren Hortensia can't summon any servant, that won't stop her from going to America. The situation has gotten more difficult and at the same time, Caren had the sickening realization that everything that had happened so far had occurred in accordance with the Mastermind's wishes. It was the ominous feeling that everything had taken place just as he had planned. Whoever this Mastermind is, he was clearly not the type who handled matters solely with brute force. Clearly, he was a cunning person and had to be watched carefully if she has the chance to meet him.

Still, at least she was not a mediator of the sixth Holy Grail War which to her view it is a verdict of death while her family has been holding this task for years However it also to note so far that same involvement has managed to place two of her generations before him in early grave which gives her somewhat understandably, concerned that she might end up being the third. The issues with being placed in a position where she would have to attempt to rein in the actions of more than half a dozen being that each of them has the capability to kill her many time with ease. She is certain that whoever this Mastermind is will be completely reasonable and happily follow the rules that have been laid down for Heaven's Feel ritual.

Supposedly the mediator of the Holy Grail War and the neutral area where the mediator lives would be the position that no one should attack it. In practice? Not so much as the mediator isn't as neutral as it claims to be. She knows that there is an abundance of people who don't respect the mediator's vow of neutrality and is actually an impossible concept since during the fourth war the Holy Church influence the moderate (Risei Kotomine) to supported one of the masters from behind the scenes, then in the fifth Holy Grail War the moderate (Kirei Kotomine) stole a Servant and attempted to claim the Grail for himself. One would think that such a reputation would be that promote revilement rather than respect well, she's hit the nail on the head as the Mage's Association are getting suspicious about it with their network of informants.

Still, she has to clasp her hands in prayer for Maria Black who probably has no idea that being a mediator means that she has a huge target on her back and no doubt meet a cruel and premature end as her authority of a mediator is not going to work with unknown number of servants to keep them in line.

Boom!

Sergeant Jeffery Smith's head jerked around as the staccato clatter of automatic weapons fire broke out inside the building where the criminals had taken shelter. Then, suddenly, from the upper stories of the building, there was a concussive thump as a grenade exploded and two of the steel shutters were blown right off the windows, arcing out over the street and falling with a heavy clatter only several feet from the police barricade.

And then Jeffery heard the frenzied screaming.

Thinking that the drug deal criminals were opening up on them with everything they had, the police officers and SWAT members on the barricade or near to buildings all immediately took cover, everyone except Jeffery, who realized that the firing was not aimed at them, but at something with the building itself.

"What the-" He frowned and turned to Officer Regger. "Sarge, are any of your men got inside of the building?"

Officer Regger looked momentarily, confused. He turned and checked. "No, they were prepared to surround the building." He replies, frowning.

"Then let's go, Jeffery said decisively. "I know who was that upon that building, one of those servants."

"Sergeant Jeffery, are you crazy?! They'll chew you up out there! Jeffery! What are you doing?! Jeffery!" Detective Augustus yell at him as he watches the Sergeant ran up into the building. "Oh, what the hell, let just follow him!" As Detective Valerio and he follow inside and quickly checked their weapons.

"Detective!" Sergeant Reeger protested, recalling the order from headquarters, "I can't send anyone in there. Orlando Reeve is on his way now-"

"Well, Orlando Reeve can kiss my sweet ass!" Augustus interrupted him. "I don't care if he is a special team from the government agencies or a new police chief from somewhere!"

Without waiting for a reply, Augustus started toward the building. Something was sure as hell going down here in this shipyard and maybe those servants who were looking for something or maybe some hot-shot rookies too gung-ho and inexperienced to know better had followed the drug deal criminals inside. There was no telling who where when the bullets had been flying all over the damn place minutes earlier, and if there were police officers inside there, facing a gang of well-armed and drug-crazed criminals, they'd need lots of help and they'd need it fast and very badly. But if it was the servants then it is going be bloodbath inside, those criminals won't hit a mark on them.

As far as Augustus was concerned, nothing took precedence over Jeffery who needed assistance. Fuck the government and fuck whoever this Chief Orlando Reeve.

Sergeant Reeger stares after Detective Valerio and Augustus in frustration, chewing his lip anxiously as they advanced quickly toward the building, then he gritted his teeth and committed himself. "God damn it," he swore, beckoning to several body-armored SWAT officers standing nearby, "Go with him!" "And rest of you, come with me!"

The SWAT officers took off at a run after the three police officers. There was now an ominous silence in the building where moments earlier, it had sounded as if World War III were being fought.

"Shit it so quiet." Detective Augustus comment.

"The gunfire has stopped now." Detective Valerio said as his head moved left and right. "I don't like the sound of it."

Inside, Jeffery Smith moved cautiously down the filthy corridor toward the stairs leading to the upper floors, his gun held ready in his hand, clicked and locked. The hallway was littered with refuse and it stank. Traces of blistered green paint clung to the mostly bare concrete walls. The cool air in the building was freezing. He moved silently up the stairway to the landing, with Detective Valerio and Augustus behind him, alert, their weapons drawn. Everything was still. Too still.

Jeffery paused on the landing, every nerve drawn taut as a bowstring, every muscle tensed. Adrenaline was coursing through his system as he stood very still, alert for the slightest sound, the faintest disturbance in the air. Something was wrong. Very, very wrong. He could feel it. The fine-tuned instincts born of years on the troubled streets of N.J. had him on the razor-edge of awareness, his sense almost preternaturally acute. He could feel the skin crawl on the back of his neck. Deep down inside, something was screaming at him to get the hell out of there but the possibility of servants being in this building wouldn't let him do that. Besides, the criminals had started this and, by God, he was going to finish it, feds or no feds.

He turned to Valerio and their eyes met in silent understanding. No words were necessary. A slight sound and turned to a doorway on his left. He bit his lower lip and nodded.

Augustus made a silent signal to the others, who took up positions on either side of the door, where they could provide cover if anyone should open up on them the moment it was opened. If it has happened, they were ready. Slowly, carefully, keeping his body back, Jeffery reached out and gently tried the doorknob. It was locked. He glanced Augustus

Jeffery nodded and leveled his gun, thumbing off the safety, ready to blow away any waiting opposition.

Then, suddenly, the door burst open and someone went flying out of the door and slammed into the wall before sliding down to the floor which was revealed to be Bruno, with his eyes rolled back and his mouth open wide.

"Holy shit!"

"Is he alive?"

"Check his heart."

"He is alive with a head injury."

"How disappointing," a female voice called out. The group quickly pointed their guns toward the woman who stepped out of the door. "He and his group did not last a full minute against me."

The SWAT members looked at her with terrified expressions as the stench of death and strength came from the woman wearing a draconic suit of armor with yellow eyes from her helmet. Jeffery Smith was not a man of faint heart, he had already met three of them and though the aura of this servant was enough to stun him, it wasn't enough to break him through fear. Also, Detective Valerio and Augustus were not intimidated by her as they already faced two Archer class in short battle.

"Is your group here to fight me?" the Black Knight asked as she grabbed a spiked version of a lance out of nowhere. The SWAT group pointed at her, ready to fire at her if she was going to attack them. "I happen to try out, I am Lancer class: the Storm King and none ever live to face me."

"No, we are not here to fight you," Sergeant Jeffery Smith said quickly before a fight broke out. "We were only investigating the shipyard here until your group arrived here early that we ended up getting involved in your fight. We mean no harm to you if we can actually hurt you, I just want some answers from you."

"Hmm, I would say no to you, but I will answer a single question even though you have no idea what is going on," the Storm King conceded. "And no questions should reveal my true identity or my master. Choose carefully."

Knowing that he can not ask anything about her or her group, he chose his question carefully. "Does your group have any idea of what you are doing?" Sergeant Jeffery Smith asked her and made a note about her class, knowing that whatever her group was doing, it was going to be a full-fledged shit-storm that would spill over.

"You'll have to be more specific than that," the Storm King tilted her head at him.

"Don't give me that look," Sergeant Jeffery Smith said as he narrowed his eyes. "Your group appears out of nowhere, robbing relics from a museum, beating up the police force, and escaping once your group is done. Then, citizens are being kidnapped out of their homes and show up in the middle of nowhere, unharmed and surrounded by corpses, unknown foreign people end up have part of their corpses with their hearts eaten everywhere in the state. Lastly, two servants from your group unexpectedly emerge to save a citizen from Latino gang members. So, my main question is that your master is fighting a secret war against two or more groups behind the public, which we are trying to find out what is going on here with so many strange things here and there?"

"The entire night wouldn't be enough to tell you what is going on here or in a way that made sense to you," the Storm King said with steel in her voice. "But I could give you a warning: this is out of your league and your force can only slow them down."

"Not a chance, Lancer. We are the police and can't condone this kind of thing. We won't just turn our head the other way and pretend it didn't happen, we are not as blind as people think. Tell me, who's this group you are fighting and who's behind this, and we'll put whoever they are behind bars even if we put all of our support and our entire life searching for them."

"No, you don't understand. You will do no such thing," Lancer said as she slowly turned her head toward a window. "Because that answer will show up here right now."

"Grrwlll...!" A loud growling sound made the group look extremely anxious and raise their guns up, searching for where the sound was coming from.

"What the hell was that?" Jeffery Smith asked as he turned his head around to the window.

"That sounds like a Lion," Detective Augustus said as he ran up to a window, noticing strange boxes being dragged into a parking lot by trucks with men in black suits or hoods until the end of the boxes finally burst open. "What on earth are those animals?"

In the pale light of the moon, a small group of three to six meter beasts with light fur on the front and black rock-looking at the end of the body, had lion's limbs and the tail of a snake with five red eyes that reached both of its horns on two sides of the head and a mouth that opened like a spider's jaw.

"With a body like a lion and a tail like a snake," Detective Valerio answered to his partner as he studied them. "They resemble the form of a Chimera, a magical beast that exists in Greek Myths and a monstrous fire-breathing hybrid creature of Lycia in Asia Minor."

"What!" Detective Augustus said in a shocked voice. "Are you telling me those animal are from Greek Myths!"

"Your friend is quite right," Lancer spoke up as she hopped on her black horse and raised her jousting lance up. "They are creatures that make up the majority of the Magical Beasts still left within the world."

"Wait, you're telling me that there are beasts that are from legends and fantasy still living along with our society?" Jeffery Smith asked in amazement and disbelief. "How did no one notice this?"

But unfortunately, Lancer jump attacked on the small Chimera and Magus, making a big hole in the parking lot. "Hmmm, they can not set loose in this place."

"Shit, this is bad!" Jeffery Smith said as he watched Lancer completely destroy a chimera through the heart. "Radio the others to watch out for those animals and men in black suits or hoods! Tell them to proceed carefully and slowly!"

"Got it!" Augustus yelled as he got his walkie-talkie and radioed into it. "We are going to need some heavy firepower on those animals!"

"Do you think it will be enough?" Jeffery Smith asked Augustus as they both watched a chimera jump attack on Lancer only to get grabbed by the throat and impaled by a lance. "Because those servants make those creatures a cakewalk."

"It will only be enough if we shoot their weak spot," Augustus answered. "Which I think it is the eyes, head, and legs." Lancer then stabbed her weapon into a magi's chest with enough force of the impact that created a small crater and generated a shock-wave, which sent some of the chimera and magi falling to the ground.

"So what about Lancer?" Detective Valerio asked.

"We will just leave her alone with the chimeras and those people in black," Jeffery Smith answered him. "The rest of our group should stay to find any stuff that looks important and stay out the servant's way."

Somewhere in part of the shipyard area

"What's the situation over here," Sergeant Reeger asked as he slid against the wall with one of his men who was also taking cover behind a wall.

"Apparently another group was trying to escape the perimeters but we pinned them down," the SWAT officer answered to him. "But unfortunately when we were trying to get them to surrender, they opened fire at us with some kind of energy ball."

"What?" Sergeant Reeger said, confused as he peered around the corner. What he saw made his heart freeze. That just... what the hell was he seeing?

"Jaen Brechen!" A blast of energy directed toward two of his men who were taking cover on the other side of the building and exploded them, creating a large hole in the wall.

"Oh Fucking they are shooting balls of energy from their hands," Reeger murmured, too shocked to do anything but gape like a fish out of water. As a woman in a black hood ran toward at speeds comparable to a car, brandishing a black falchion at her side while she dodged each shot and stabbed a police officer in the chest with a reverse grip. Only for the woman to get rapid shot by other police groups as her whole body was exposed openly in front of them. "What the fuck is wrong with today?"

"Holy shit, that woman just killed our man with a sword!" A SWAT unit said with a shocked reaction. "What kind of group fights with medieval swords rather than firearms and laser beams? This makes no sense!"

"It doesn't matter what kind of fighting style they are using and I don't care if they are Aliens or whatever." Reeger murmured as his trembling hand reached for his gun. "All right, get ready to move up and don't let them escape!"

Returning to the firefight, Reeger aimed his gun at the enemy. One guy managed to try hiding behind the car, only to be shot multiple times. Another one appeared to be a female firing her Thaumaturgy at Reeger who then drove to cover and gunned her down with all his magazines in his Heckler & Koch MP5.

The police force returned fire at the magus group, who then ducked behind their cover as a police group slowly pushing up to put those men/women in black business suits or black hoods back down, which a roar caused everyone to stop what they were doing.

"What was that noise?" Reeger asked to himself.

Only to have an animal that looked like a half lion with a tail of a snake appear out of nowhere and pin one of those men in a suit down and tear his throat out. Panicking, the magus shot the chimera with their magecraft and some of them tried to stab it.

The Chimera's hide shrugged off some of the swords and magecraft as the creature's poisonous tail spat venom at anyone who was unlucky enough to come close to its path. The beast strode and smashed them aside as easily as if they were dust in the wind, the magus cried out as they were flung to the side or trampled under its enormous paws.

The SWAT and police officer, who only moments earlier had been so confident, pushed back at the magu group found themselves terrified at the strange creature that was charging straight at their line as their bullets either bounced off or dug in deep into the hides.

When Reeger aimed for the head of the chimera and squeezed the trigger, the rapid fire quickly shattered some of the chimera's red eyes with sheer mass and velocity, then punched holes in upper legs and the jawline, which was still not enough to put the creature down until an arrow appeared out of nowhere and stabbed right into the Chimera's head as the beast fell down to the ground.

"What the hell?!" A police officer yelled out as he grabbed the arrow out of the Chimera's head. "Did that arrow come from!?"

"You tell me!?" Another officer said, double tapping his gun on the chimera's torso as he made sure that it was dead. "I want to know what the hell this creature came from?!"

"Alright enough talk, there could be more out there!" Sergeant Reeger shouted out to his men. "Be careful, there might be more of those creatures and those god damn superhuman aliens out in those buildings!"

"All squad, this is Sergeant Jeffery Smith. Be advised, there is a small group of creatures all scattered over the shipyard and those creatures are called Chimera. Watch for their poisonous tail and hit-and-run tactics," The walkie-talkie answered the man's question. "Before you ask, I am not joking about this, just be careful with them and if you are getting bitten, then you are dead."

"Well, that answers our question, let's move quietly and cautiously." Sergeant Reeger waved his hand as his men looked around the window on the building. "Don't get freaked out by those chimeras."

As the police force moved slowly and cautiously at every building and window, that enemy could be hidden in the shadows.

"Shit, what are we fighting against?" Sergeant Reeger mused to himself. "First, criminal activity on the abandoned shipyard, then servants attacked here when we arrived, then we have a third party of people who fight with superhuman abilities and shoot magic from their hands, lastly we got half looking lion and snake animals hiding around the place."

One of the SWAT members didn't know he had stepped on a surface of an orange glyph-shaped circle on his feet before it exploded, causing that poor man to be caught on fire from the spell trap. "Ahhhh!" The SWAT member screamed in agony due to the pain, and unused ammunition popped and caught fire from his pouches.

A SWAT member turned his head to see his comrade desperately try to put out the fire that was covering his whole body as he drove into the ground, rolling over in vain, trying to stop the flame, but the fire had consumed his flesh, and later his life.

"Damn it, we can't do anything for him now!" Sergeant Reeger yelled.

"Contact!" Someone shouted out as a blast of energy hit in front of them before they took cover. "Second window on the warehouse!"

"Shit, whatever those people are, they are sure not letting us move forward!" Sergeant Reeger took cover over a wall as he spotted the shooter in the window. "Push forward, stack up and by that door, breach and clear!"

The group pushed on while moving out of the line of sight from the shooter and avoiding any traps ahead. Sergeant Reeger stood at the side of the door, the rest of the squad stacked up behind him. "All right let's move in!" he yelled as he kicked down the door and threw a flashbang inside. The police group burst inside to see some of the magus in the far back of the warehouse desperately moving their stuff inside the vehicles, burning anything that can not be taken and those close to to the door were rubbing their eyes from the flashbang.

"Police! Drop your weapons and put your hands up!" Sergeant Reeger shouted to the group of Magus as he looked straight down the holographic sight attached to his MP5. "Drop what you are doing and put your hands behind your back!"

Unfortunately, the magus simply dropped what they were doing and began to attack the police group with their Magecraft or use their melee weapons.

"Jaen Brechen!" A blast of energy hit a police officer in the chest which created a hole in his body.

A man in a black hood quickly ran toward one of the police officers, lunging into the officer's chest with a black falchion and knocking him down. The man turned, attempting to stab Sergeant Reeger in the chest, but the Sergeant grabbed and held back the man's arm, grabbing the attacker's elbow with his left hand and shoving the attacker's forearm down with his right, causing him to stab himself in the abdomen. He ripped off the black falchion as the man fell down. "Shit, apprehend them!" he yelled as he took out his baton.

Soon the warehouse became a brawl fight or gun shootout as chaos erupted with the police group trying to put the magus down using non-lethal takedowns, firing their taser guns or firing at them in self-defense while the magus group used their Elemental Magecraft and melee weapons.

Sergeant Reeger smashed his baton into a magu's stomach as the man dropped down to his knees and held his stomach in pain while Reeger punched him in the head and then handcuffed him. "Got that one!"

A police officer fired his taser gun at a magus which caused him to be completely incapacitated by static shock as the police officer tackled him down, jabbing the magus in the face before twirling his whole body facing the ground and handcuffing his hands behind his back.

A magus grabbed a police officer's left shoulder and kicked out his right leg. As he fell back, the magu spun the police officer around, stabbing him in the chest with a knife as he fell to the ground and turned around to shoot a SWAT member with fire, likely magecraft. "What's happening to me?! Arrrrrggghh!" The SWAT member yelled as his eyes were glowing red and smoke was pouring out of his mouth before he collapsed to the ground.

"GO!" "Aagh! My ears!" A police officer screamed as he held his ear in pain from a near miss Flame magecraft.

"You! Put down the goat and put your hands up."

"Give me cover!" A SWAT unit ducked behind a half broken concrete wall.

"They're deploying SWAT units!" A magus said panicking to his group. "At this rate, they will know everything about us!"

"Then let's get the hell out here!" Another Magus answered as he drove back his cover. "Soon, there were be more reinforcement arriving here!"

"We can not let the police force get their hands on our stuff!" A female magus pointed out at the chemical and alchemy magical items. "They will soon figure out that we have infiltrated their government, politicians, corporation and other key roles in society. Get someone to burn the evidence!"

"Someone tell me who the fuck they are?!" A police officer asked his comrades as he noticed some of the magus dodging bullet fire in speed comparable to a car in a disturbed voice. "They are like super humans or some Harry Potter wizards!"

"Center mass! Center mass!" A SWAT member shouted to his comrades as he shot a magus in the chest. "Stop asking questions in the middle of the fight!"

Sergeant Reeger quickly threw a flashbang at the remaining group of magu, trying to end this fight now.

Bang!

"Ahhhh!"

"I can't see!"

"My eyes!"

The flash produced momentarily activated all photoreceptor cells in the eye, making the magi's vision impossible for approximately five seconds, until their eye restored themselves to normal, unstimulated states just to see the SWAT units at front of them and get tackled to the ground. A small short wrestle as the SWAT units put the handcuffs and forced their heads to the ground.

"All suspects are apprehended," a police officer reported to Sergeant Reeger, who took a seat. "Some of them have to be sent to the ambulance at once."

"How many men did we lose?" Sergeant Reeger asked as he caught his breath. "God, those suspects got to be some Harry Potters to be able to keep giving us a hard time."

"Ten men, sir," the police officer answered him. "We sent the wounded out right away and some of them have nasty burns and knife wounds on parts of their body."

"God, ten men, which means that if the other group can also meet the same casualties or more," Sergeant Reeger said with a thoughtful expression. "Radio the others to be more cautious about the suspects as they are not your average criminals."

"Sarge, you got to look at this!" Sergeant Reeger got up and walked to the voice. "Look at what we found here!"

"What did you get here, boy?" Sergeant Reeger asked his man who was slowly opening a truck-sized intermodal container and revealed what was inside. "Holy shit, what the fuck have we found here?"

As soon as they opened it, lots of flies and a terrible smell came out. Several dead decaying bodies laid inside the container.

Sergeant Reeger said in horror "Oh my God, bodies are badly decomposed. These men have been dead for weeks."

"Why the hell is this container full of dead bodies?" A police officer questioned as he knelt down to pick up a shipyard schedule note. "What the hell do they need corpses for"

"Human experimentation. And I don't think these people volunteered for their bodies to be used." Sergeant Reeger answered as he turned to see a dead Chimera on an operating table with tools. This chimera was made by combining parts from different animals, and in this case, people as well. It was bigger than the ones that Reeger fought, its claws were several inches long, looking like they could cut through steel like a hot knife through butter, and its fangs reached almost all the way to the floor. "And I think what those bodies are here for."

He looked closer to the chimera's face. That face made his blood run cold. The realization of what the thing in front of him actually was fueled his rage. A clearly human visage stared at him from a body that was anything but. It wasn't something that could have been achieved on the spot, but it had to be the result of experiments. The police group moved to the operating tables and checked to see if the chimera was dead or not.

Sergeant Reeger can not help but wonder how many people and animals were harvested and pieced together. How many people had screamed in pain while their bodies were torn apart? Still, he looked at the window from the warehouse to see the flying ship and servants running around the area of the shipyard, fighting criminals, those wizards, and those creatures. "Secure this perimeter, get the wounded out and spare anyone to help the others."

At the table to the left side of the operating table, he quickly searched for any clues that may give him a better understanding of this organization. The table itself had nothing, saved for a large detailed map of Earth with major cities and a glass-type tablet that was connected to a charger and displayed half-burnt PC-style folder thumbnails including *Ma*ec*aft, T*a*m*tu*gy, the *ive *agic of t*e m*d*rn era, Ak*sh*c R*c*rds, *E*e*ents, *O*i*in, Po*s*bl* ar*as of the *oly Gr*il and, S*n*heti* Beast.

"Beast?" Sergeant Reeger asked to himself. "Gr*il?"

"Sergeant, you find something?" Reeger turned to his second-in command, who handed a radio to him.

"I found those burn ass folders," Regger said as he handed them over to his second-in command. "Someone was trying to set fire on the evidence, which it was a successful burn by the way. It is clear that they were hiding something from us."

"Aww damn it, that doesn't look good! We are finding more and more things that are above over our level."

"You are damn right. Can you put the folders on the table so I can take pictures of it?" Reeger took a mini camera from his left leg pocket to take the picture of the room and folders. While he was doing that, at the at the same time he was trying to rehash everything from the start. Servants attacked the shipyard, magic wizard, half lion, goat with a tail of a snake and illegal experiments on dead animals and humans.

"These things are connected together to something," Reeger said to his second-in command. "Can someone go interrogate them and ask why they were hiding something here and why were they trying burn the evidence!? We can not let those Harry Potter wizards refuse to answer our questions any longer and make sure that they don't die on our watch. Watch out for anyone who looks suspicious getting close to them and put every available man we have, lock down this place tighter."

---

Sergeant Jeffery Smith came out of the building where the criminals had taken shelter and to warn the others about the new threat with Detective Augustus and Valerio. The rest of their group was still in the building checking out other survivors and handcuffing Bruno to wait for him to be conscious.

"Once he wakes up, we will interrogate him about the shipyard and all that stuff in those warehouses," Sergeant Jeffery Smith said to his partners as he looked around the area. "In the meantime, we should get close to other servants who are somewhere in the shipyard area."

"Holy shit, that servant had a really menacing aura around her," Detective Augustus said uneasily. "I feel like I just met Death himself."

"I am not surprised too with everyone in the group also feeling it," Detective Valerio turned to his partner. "But the way she materialized out of that door with that pressure which could bring everyone down to their knees."

"Yeah, there was something about her that made her seem royal and that feeling made us want to listen to her," Sergeant Jeffery Smith remarked. "A woman in black armor and riding on a black horse, wielding a knight's lance, called herself the Storm king and Lancer class."

"Hmm, that certainly fits the class name as she was actually equipped with a lance and that name," Detective Valerio reflected. "Still an unconventional name for a servant. If I didn't know any better, I'd say that she was a queen in her past life?"

"If you are right then it is going to be really hard to find her true name as I don't know any historical figures that had a woman in black armor," Detective Augustus said to Valerio. "And besides, we can talk about that woman later, we got other things to do."

"▂▂▃▃▄▄▅▅!" A roaring was heard close by which caused them to close their ears from the noise.

"Yeah like that," Detective Augustus stated as he pulled his gun up. "And we should check it out and hope the rest of other officers are alright!"

With that, Detective Augustus, Valerio, and Sergeant Jeffery Smith headed toward the noise.

Jeffery Smith noticed something was flying toward their way and shouted to his partners. "Watch out!" They nearly ducked under it and turned around to see what it was, a dead chimera with its neck twisted.

"Damn, it has got to be one of those servants to throw a chimera that size," Detective Augustus frowned, trying to find where the chimera was thrown from. "Where did that servant threw from?"

"Like over there," Detective Valerio pointed at a parking lot. "That Chinese giant riding on a big red horse." It was a huge heavily-armored Chinese war-plate, ornate and master-crafted man with his figure bulging with muscles, and teeth more pointed than normal jutted out when he grinned. Power radiated off of him in waves, filled with bloodlust and overbearing lethality. In one hand, he held a gigantic halberd of no doubt legendary weapon make.

"Holy shit that is a big servant!" Sergeant Jeffery Smith commented. "What is he doing?"

The Chinese giant turned his halberd into a bow and used the halberds as an arrow, shooting it at the group of chimera and other vehicles which caused damage to nearby buildings. "▂▂▃▃▄▄▅▅!" The giant roared in a cheering way as he watched the nearby building collapse with the piece of chimeras spread around the place.

"Did that servant just turn his halberd into an arrow with a bow that appeared out of nowhere?" Sergeant Jeffery Smith asked his comrades with a disbelieving face. "God, he transforms his weapon into a bow."

"Like hell, I say yes, you did see what I just saw," Detective Augustus turned his head to Detective Valerio. "Any ideas who he is?"

"It is Lü Bu," Detective Valerio said with a simple voice as he knew instantly that it was Lü Bu without any explanation. "If you want to know how, it's because of those pheasant tails on his headpiece that were described in the historical novel Romance of the Three Kingdoms. A lofty and dignified look, a majestic and awe-inspiring bearing, wielding a fangtian huaji hair pulled back and worn in a golden headdress, donning a flowery-patterned battle robe, encased in body armor decorated with images of the ni wearing a precious belt adorned with the image of a lion, which was only descriptions of Lü Bu's physical appearance in the historical novel."

"Let's not go talk to him,"Detective Augustus stated as he watched Lu Bu ride away from his sight. "He doesn't seem like the type to talk and we should go look for the other group."

Smash! A sound of something was broken from the roof of the building.

"What was that?" Sergeant Jeffery Smith asked, looking around to find the location of that sound.

"Look up there in one of the buildings," Detective Valerio pointed at a man in Greek armor diving out of one of the buildings, as a girl in a brown dress with red wounds all over her pale body was clutched onto the man's arm like a life preserver. The man ran and leapt on different rooftops while police and news helicopters followed them, using their spotlights. "It is Rider of Red and he is carrying a girl with him."

"It is too late to catch up to him, let the helicopters track him with their cameras," Sergeant Jeffery Smith said as he watched Rider of Red disappear from his sight. "But still I need to know what warehouse he just came out of."

"Got it," Detective Augustus noted as his radio spoke out, which he got it to listen. "I report that the other squad has got most of the area under their control. They managed to avoid shooting at the servants that fought against criminals and those chimeras."

"That is good. Did they try to go near to them?" Sergeant Jeffery Smith asked him. "Because we don't want our boys to get sent to the hospital like last time."

"No, they didn't but they did handcuff criminals who were shot in a non-lethal area by those Archer classes and one of them waved his hand to one of the helicopters," Detective Augustus detailed the event. "They also met another new servant who was knocking down criminals in the head with the pommel of his sword when they got to him."

"Really?! Then what's his class?" Detective Valerio turned his head. "And what does he look like?"

"Well, when the squad asked who he was, he answered that he was the Martyr and Rider class," Detective Augustus answered him. "He was wearing a white-and-red striped robe with bronze armor and a white cape."

"So, he introduced himself as Rider class. Did he ride on something?" Detective Valerio asked incredulously as he wondered what was with servants introducing their class to people.

"Well, yes. When he was done talking, a magical, white horse materialized out of nowhere and dashed off." Detective Augustus answered back to him. "And his last words were something like apologizing for roughing up the criminals too much and having to hold back a little to give his opponents enough time to consider the sins they committed and repent as a servant of God."

"Huh, a servant of God, he says? So that makes him a saint. Makes sense," Detective Valerio held his chin. "Well we have a servant who is a saint to look for."

Then, a chariot drawn by three splendid horses promptly appeared from the sky and flew overhead them.

"Was that a flying chariot?" Sergeant Jeffery Smith asked them.

"Yesh, no shit about that," Detective Augustus said with a deadpan voice as they watched the flying Egypt ship and chariot with servants jumping on board. "It seems that the servants are leaving whatever they were doing. Not only that, some of the servants with horses are flying too and I have just seen everything right now!"

"I still wonder what the heck they were doing here and what they were looking for?" Detective Valerio questioned about the behavior of those servants. "It could have been that girl that one of them was carrying." He watched the flying Egypt ship and chariot take off in a quick move like a military plane and disappear into the night sky.

Well, back to investigating again," Detective Augustus said with a tired voice. "So, who is going to do the talking for the media and this new Chief Orlando Reeve?"

"Well, that would be me." Sergeant Jeffery Smith fixed his police cap. "You guys go ahead and find anything that looks like clues while I deal with them."

Outside of the shipyard area and under the cover of the deep forest

"What!.. it can't be true?" Lord El-Melloi II clenched his fists as he digested the information that Shirou had just given him. "Had I known about this incident, then we should not have done it."

"Do not depreciate yourself, Lord El-Melloi II. You would not have known it too and you saw what happened to Rin and Luvia," Shiro said to the group, his tone however not discouraged or weakened. Instead, it reflected his resolve to be careful next time. "Lord El-Melloi II, don't go taking all the blame by yourself. I am at fault too, I could have the catalysts with me if I hadn't fallen for that trick from that hand."

"Hoh? Not here to discourage everyone, but what are we going to do against this Mastermind without having any servants with us, Emiya-kun?" Tohsaka Rin cut in, earning her a sigh from Shirou. "Charge toward Mastermind and fight whoever he is with servants guarding him?" She guessed what was on his mind.

Shirou shook his head and looked her in the eyes as he replied without skipping a beat, much to Rin's expectation. "I will simply do everything that I can to learn who he is and find out what his plan is, if a fight against him does not settle the thing."

"Well, at least you have some plan that does not get you killed," Rin Tohaska said with a relieved tone. "You should be careful with that ego of yours."

"But still, I want to know who that hand is helping the Mastermind behind this war?" Rin said as she held her chin in a thinker way. "It seems that hand's objective was to take catalysts for the Mastermind but it feels like he was hiding more about himself than the Mastermind."

"Now that I think about it, why would the hand take their catalysts rather than letting the Mastermind summon his own type of servants, as catalysts are extremely valuable and it can take much effort depending on the Servant for the Mastermind to attract desired servants that he wants?" Luviagelita Edelfelt added her own two cents. "Everything doesn't add up."

"Also, the caution of the Mastermind on his orders to his servants to appear in daylight in the public's eyes to save a man from a gang of thugs even though it threatened the reveal of magecraft to the whole world," Shirou simply popped a question too. "I can not understand what the Mastermind is doing or what his plan is at all?"

"So what shall be our course of action?" Luviagelita Edelfelt asked them. "Without servants to instruct, we have no way of looking around without being targeted by servants and worse, we have no idea where to search for the Holy Grail in this region, to begin with."

"You are quite right, Luvia. However, as we still don't know even just at least the basic structure of this region, I don't think we'll be doing any diving into anytime soon but I believe that I shall contact the one expert concerning these matters." Lord El-Melloi II said as he checked to see his wound had healed. "We should head back to our base with Rohngall and Faldeus Dioland, who had been here for awhile before we arrived and I think that they could figure out a clue that could be a lead."

El-Melloi II then explained a bit more of his plan. "This is one of the ways that we can find something, even maybe just the smallest rails of what could happen to the summoning ritual that has to happen around the world. In the meantime, we should head back to our base now, I don't like staying here any longer now."

With that, Lord El-Melloi II and his group quickly left the forest with a doll-looking bird zooming in with telescope eyes, viewing from one of the trees before flying away to report back about this scene.

---

I am sorry that the last two parts of scenes were kinda rushed to end for almost two months has passed. I am trying to be done writing without prolonging the scenes. The next chapter will be Jeanne explaining to Benjamin about the Ruler class with Flanna and all servants reunited to discuss what they were doing and Chiron and Atalanta meeting up with Jeanne as the main training for Benjamin will begin right away. There will be a serious talk between Flanna and Benjamin as they make their next plan.

I have polls in which one Benjamin should train first. Firearm and ballistic vest, medieval weapons, and armor or both of them. Yes, I have an early plan for the fight between Benjamin and Shirou. Now the issues, what are the best medieval weapons and armor against Shirou? Who is skillful with wielding two arming swords and can shoot NP Arrows out of nowhere?

Guest chapter 26. Jun 8 What is the future reaction for Florence Nightingale?: If you talk about how Benjamin and Flanna react to her, they kind of speculated her to appear in the Holy Grail like any other historical/legendary figures. But what they did not expect was her to be in a class that's most associated with violence and rage that goes around the battlefield to help the wounded and her ideas of medical technology treatment aren't always very helpful that would most likely kill the patient with loss of blood.

Guest chapter 27. Jun 14 Ummmm, wtf. In Fate Grand Order it turns out that Emiya is more annoyed with Emiya Alter rather than shocked. And the reason for his annoyance? He thinks that Emiya Alter's guns are cool. WHAT A BULL: Emiya would rather deny his Alter's existence and completely ignore him.

Guest chapter 27. Jun 14 Managed to find out something about Tiamat: It turns out she wanted to destroy all humans because she was led to nothing but instinct. When she does have sanity, she actually LOVES humans, yet at the same time, she is afraid due to being abandoned. So if you can make her somehow regain some sanity, then Benjamin and Flaana could have a great ally! Sure, that is a good idea and there is a "Fate: Grand Goddess Resurrection" that has Tiamat in it, which you should go read it.

Guest chapter 27. Jun 19 Ben kids being half servants would be more interesting Oh ok that would be alright then. If both servants have a child then it would be a living weapon of mass destruction.

Guest chapter 27. Jun 23 Will dead apostles and ghouls stay a secret: Mostly stay a secret as dead apostles and ghouls want to maintain the balance between society and themselves to protect their own lives, they hide the bodies of their victims, expand their territory and use various magical techniques to make things appear not out of the ordinary.

Guest chapter 27. Jun 23 Will Flanna be ok with Ben having a harem or will she have some concerns: She would have some concerns about how some of the servants who are potentially romantically interested in Benjamin. To some degree this worried her, which she wonders if it has to do with the Holy Grail making this happen. But she knows that Benjamin is unable to say no to them without getting killed. Flanna is kinda worried about sexually transmitted diseases and pregnancy. That is common so she thinks that is the same with servants. They don't know what Mana transfer actually means so they assume that mana is something to do with body fluids like magus' blood that can replenish one's magical power or blood donation.

Guest chapter 27. Jun 25 You should make a battle between Team Stylish and Paracelsus homunculus army: Good idea and the Team Stylish are going to be a surprise that someone's experimental personal army can match them.

Guest chapter 27. Jun 25 In Karna vs Esdeath will it end in a draw, in Seryu vs Siegfried it should end with him knocking her and koro out cold and could you add romance with the servants with Night raids like Sheele x Siegfried and mine and Billy the kid maybe: Karna vs Esdeath's battle would end in draw because Karna was just testing her and actively holding back, but due to how obscenely powerful he is, it would not make much of a difference so far. Even when faced with the strongest of the Night Raid, the Jaegers, the Wild Hunt, Three Beasts and the 4 Rakshasa Demons combine together. The Seryu vs Siegfried's battle would have Seryu Ubiquitous in a state of disbelief that all of her attacks (in the name of absolute justice boast) and Koro (Berserk mode) are unable to make a single dent on Siegfried's body (Armor of Fafnir) while he swings a sword at Koro (Berserk mode) who isn't able to regenerate fast enough, forcing her and Koro to fall back while screaming that Siegfried is ultimately evil that she must overcome so that justice will prevail. I will maybe add romance about two or three in the crossovers.

Guest chapter 27. Jun 25 How about when the Hassan fight night raid is either in Aria's mansion or when the tribal assassins appear in their base: I will add a plot twist with Hassan leading the attack at the Night Raid's base with the Tribal assassins (There is no page for them in Wiki). You wonder why the assassin group follows Hassan, it's because they were forced to join to die.

Guest chapter 26. Jun 27 What about the "Wandering Sea" organization? Are they gonna appear too?: They may not appear because I don't know much about them but the organization has some interest about events that happen around the world.

Guest chapter 1. Jun 27 Just got an idea for Avenger (Edmond Dantes) hating being called by his name; making it that somehow he is given a different name, for example, Gankutsuou. What do you say?: That's alright then.

Guest chapter 26. Jul 5 Ignore the"reviewer" arsehole. He simply doesn't understand the quality of a good story. This one for example: Thank you for saying that. I have seen many fan fiction writers who have their stories getting grammar checked by a beta reader but there are still some reviewers saying that there are too many mistakes and errors on it, which the writers need a beta check. So the point is that I keep my grammar check on a normal level and should not talk about grammar issues which I will fix that later.

Guest chapter 26. Jul 12 Managed to find out: Jabberwocky- As long as he is not injured with a Vorpal Blade and as long he has Magical Energy, he will always be able to regenerate-even when struck with Gae Bolg: Thank you for the information and Jabberwocky will come soon.

Guest chapter 27. Jul 13 My f/go summons I have three of my summon tickets and rolled three Atalantas in a row (no joke): You must be lucky as hell to get her. I did not get Atalanta or Gilgamesh on my second roll which the gacha rate up for him or any other new servants are notoriously hard to get in the gacha, with the chance of getting the one you want is as low as one percent. Another issue is Saint Quartz Summon for 10x summon cost 30 Saint Quartz is a rip off price with Craft Essences and Servants that are included in the same gacha summons which you may not get what you want. The North American version of Fate Grand Order cumulative login is given but the amount of Saint Quartz on "login count reward" did not appear at all which is frustrating to the point that Fire Emblem heroes actually give you more than four/five stars unit then this game. There should be a daily mission or something for players that rewards Saint Quartz per day, once you run out of levels, where are we going get more that can lead to nothing to do because all you do at the moment is log in, collect the daily rewards and never touch it again till tomorrow. The gacha system feels really stingy to me compared to other games since the rates for 4* and 5* are some of the lowest I've seen and the same goes for how much quartz they hand out.

Also, you should be careful of those so called infinite Saint Quartz on YouTube or web page with comments (half of them are fake channels) that said it works. They never work at all because I never saw those hackers buy any servants on their phone or a slickly edited video trying to entice you to download some computer-thrashing viruses.

Guest chapter 27. Jul 23 You are right about the part of Enkidu trying to kill Ishtar, at least the first time he meets her in Fate Grand Order. Also, in MyRoom Dialogue he throws animal parts at her!: It makes sense for him to hate Ishtar to a huge level as she made him slowly die back into clay in front of his friend.

Guest chapter 27. Jul 23 It's finally been explained, the difference between Archer Emiya and his Alter counterpart. Apparently, Emiya is still fundamentally the same person who wanted to be a Hero of Justice, while Emiya Alter has completely abandoned that path, and any attempt to bring him back is impossible. Heck, even attempting is actually dangerous to Alter due to his body breaking down when he remembers his own identity. Crazy, right?: It is crazy and dangerous to himself with everyone around him.

Guest chapter 27. Jul 23 S.H.I.T. Scheherazade is summonable as Caster. What do you think?: She has the lowest attack of any SSR, but her garbage set of skills and NP seem to indicate she's supposed to be a damaged Servant despite being a the Caster class. But I do like her for having a normal human reaction to having to live in terror married to an unstable king and a character who makes you want to protect her. She is a very human character, everyone is afraid or something, some are afraid of getting old, others are afraid of failure, others are afraid of family, she fears the thing that majority of the humans fear. So she really has grown on me and I like her a lot.

Guest chapter 26. Jul 25 Is Gudako from Fate grand order gonna have any impact on the story?: No, as I don't want any Fate Grand Order involved with my story.

Guest chapter 27. Jun 15 Nice chapter, we got to learn more about Benjamin, he's got a good taste in tv shows and music. So, Beowulf, Brynhildr, and Jeanne have been summoned. Beowulf won't be much of a problem since he's the sanest of the berserkers. Brynhildr, well... what do you mean Benjamin will have fun with her yandere tendencies? I think he should brace himself. I didn't expect Jeanne to be summoned so soon, I was expecting Justeaze. I know you've said Jeanne will not be paired with Benjamin just because she's beautiful and very popular but I gotta admit, this chapter made me see how well the two of them would work as a pairing. Benjamin trying his best to be a capable leader to his servants and Jeanne being a guide and moral compass, she was in a similar situation in life after all. It's a real shame because Jeanne is one of the few Heroic Spirits who are actually heroic and I have a feeling most of his love interests are going to have a morally questionable background. Sylvie finally made her debut and apparently she has strong blood. Does that mean she's a magus? I like changes pov, it reminds of how certain tv shows and movies switch from the protagonists to the antagonist to the annoying cops.

Again, great chapter. I'll be waiting for the next one: Yes, I have been trying to give some information about him little by little so that you slowly understand him at later chapters because I know that viewers don't really care about OC biography as it is uninteresting to people to look at. The reason why I summoned Jeanne is because I need a Ruler class with 16 servants as to fight a dragon with her banner, Luminosité Éternelle to be used. Yes, they do make a good pairing of Master and Servant relationship as they are similar in life at a situation that they try to work as a leader. I was being sarcastic with the word "have fun with her yandere tendencies." Sylvie is not a magus, the strong blood word means she has 100% affinity for becoming part of the magu's experiments as a good lab rat. Can you tell me what certain tv shows and movies that remind you which I want this change of view for something new and refreshing that wouldn't bore you to death of the same character?

It's a real shame, some of them are not heroic at all. In our pool of characters we have a relatively short amount of characters that are true heroes, we have some gods and demigods but I did explain why they use heroic spirits even though they are not exactly what you think, which the Throne of Heroes looks at the Greek definition of the word hero. A hero is just someone who did things in a much grander way than humanity is usually used to. So as a result, even people like the Roman emperors, who were definitely by today's standards evil as hell, or Attila the Hun for that matter, hell, even Alexander the Great wasn't exactly a nice guy, are heroes. It is, however, true that the Fuyuki Grail War SPECIFICALLY was only meant to summon true heroes (by today's standards), and the summoning of Avenger fucked the Grail up and it can now pluck from the villain pool as well. It's likely the F/GO Grail(s) just don't have that restriction in place and don't discriminate. A hero is a hero, whether they were good or evil.

Guest chapter 27. Jun 19 It's me again. I forgot to ask if Sylvie is a magus, will she learn magecraft and fight alongside Benjamin and Flanna? I'm sorry if I made it look like I was telling you to pair Jeanne with Benjamin after you said no more romance ideas. They just looked so good together, once you get past the fanservice, it makes sense. I noticed Benjamin shows a sharp wit or a sense of humor from time to time. I can't help but imagine Benjamin although serious about situations like fights and strategy meetings, he cracks a joke to annoy his enemy to make them slip up or to relieve the stress of a situation: She is not a magus, just a good lab rat for the magus to experiment on her. Yes, they do look nice together, the romance is ok. Yes, Benjamin will show sharp wit or a sense of humor from time to time as he questions the sanity or morality of the actions of his servants, which he can put up with some of the craziest servants. In Strategy meeting, Benjamin wants to understand basic tactics a little better so that Flanna can explain to him.

In a battle scene, he would sometimes say in a disbelieving tone of voice at his enemy capability who are terrifying fighters but have some overspecializations at some parts of their combat skills. For example, when he fights against Shirou Emiya who wields dual wielding twin swords or bows, which he relies on twin swords so much and has no armor or when he fights Rin Tohsaka, who has pseudo-karate basic skills and strong magic abilities, but wearing no armor and is completely ignorant about the capabilities of modern technology/ weapons that even when she can barely know what a VCR is, let alone DVD or Blu-Ray. Same with Luviagelita Edelfelt as her pro-wrestling combat skills and almost exactly the same kind of magic abilities like Rin Tohsaka wearing no armor and has not participated in the Holy Grail war which could cause her to sometimes badly underestimating her foes. Illyasviel von Einzbern, who 70% of her body is composed of Magic Circuits and an advanced version of her mother's magic Engel Note: Angel's Poem which can generate a considerable amount of magical energy that shoots bullets strong enough to fire small blasts of magical energy capable of easily shooting through Rin's Gandr shots but have a weak body that the opponent can easily punch a strong hit on her and go down to the ground.

Bazett Fraga McRemitz who is a specialist in physical combat and employs runic sorcery on her limbs, hands, and feet to increase her fighting potential has some weaknesses like lack of magical ability, worse at using Magecraft, can sometimes underestimate her foes, surprise attack, and wear no armor. Caren Hortensia probably got worse, as she is not much of fighter beside her unusual property that is a genetic radar to find demons which are useless, her revealing battle costume is stated to be both for mobility and to seduce male opponents that provide no protection to herself, and her Holy Shroud, the Shroud of Magdalene which is a red cloth with the power to forcefully bind men which work on paper sometimes as the opponents can simply grab and yanks the cloth out her hands which can tangle the cloth itself leave it useless. Most of the Fate/stay night cast are seriously unprepared for this kind of war as they preparing for the kind of battle they thought they could expect like Magecraft duel, servants battle, and magician villain.

Guest chapter 27. Aug 4 If Morgana comes in Fate Grand Order, are you gonna summon her if so what would be reactions of Arturia, Merlin, Mordred, Rin, Shirou, Ben, and Flanna. Also, is she gonna listen to Ben and Flanna or not: Morgan Le Fay would be in the Caster class as she fits in those words the most which by the way, she was redesign in Fate Apocrypha anime so I hope that she appears in Fate Grand Order as a Servant which get ready for her. They didn't give her a new design for 20 seconds of screen time, trust me. Morgan Le Fay would listen to Ben and Flanna because that how the role is supposed to be a servant but how long would she start to do something behind her Master's back.

The Reaction of Morgana:

-Arturia: Since she is King Arturia, she hates Morgan with passion.

-Merlin: While he is a carefree person with a spacey and immature personality he actually gets serious when talking to her, warns Benjamin and Flanna about her reputation.

-Mordred: Mordred carries a great deal of resentment for her mother, Morgan le Fay, believing her to be the true reason that she was denied the throne of Camelot.

-Rin: Since she knows Arturia and her family, she really cautious about Morgana just like meets Medea once again. In her own words "That bitch needed no special introduction at all."

-Shirou: Same with Rin above as he also sees Arturia's dream back when she was a servant to him which he might know who Morgan is and be really wary of her.

-Ben and Flanna: Since both of the siblings know King Arthur and the Knight of the Round Table due their early lives and school which they do know her from few page that focuses on her but really don't know how much she was immortalized as the great calamity of Arthurian lore and arch-deceiver. Benjamin feeling struck by a sense of wrongness emanating from her and notice she is beautiful but also note that something is off and unsettling about her. Flanna doubts Morgan would listen to her and Benjamin much as Flanna knows that once Morgan sees a weakness that can benefit herself and it is not a good idea to keep her in any sort of position of power, and, even worse, in a location far beyond their oversight.

Guest chapter 27. Aug 2 If the Emperor akame ga kill still dies who would take his place like Artoria, Iskander, Ramses or Gilgamesh: Sorry, I am not put any King servants as they are overused and that is the hard part, trying to put someone new in that place as the Emperor was the last king of a nearly thousand-year-old dynasty dethroning and killing the tyrant of the realm is sound and justified. In practice, even when the tyrants is an asshole that deserves death usurping the reigning monarch can have devastating consequences, even when justified and necessary. This didn't really improve the situation because the most of the Revolutionary Army members weren't really up to the task of taking of position of ruling an entire continent which they did not put any thought to this and the Night Raid assume that once the Empire fall there would be peaceful reforms implementing after that, on a paper that is as some of the people would refuse to compromise and how do make this reforms work.

Guest chapter 27. Aug 1 If Cu Chulainn and Cursed Arm Hassan would use their NP on organic teigu like Koro and Susanoo would it target the core or would it fails: Chu Chulainn's Gáe Bolg would alway target the core but if it can not attack the core then the attack delivers damage equal to the opponent's own health limit plus the damage from the spear itself, so the wound will be fatal no matter the opponent once they are struck which makes it especially effective against those with high durability if Koro/ Susanoo did survive the attack then they are unable to heal even a regular thrust through the core would be hard to heal that would take a long time to fully heal. if by some huge luck that they are still alive by those two really lethal attack then going ruins their body from within with its thousand iron thorns from the inside. If by God miracle Kore/Susanoo even still survives by that then they are going to be suffered by so much pain inside of their body.

Cursed Arm Hassan's Delusional Heartbeat would work the same but just a few differences as the target must simply stay out of Assassin's range, have a high enough Mana(I don't think mana exist here) statistic to prevent the overlaying existence from even being created, or have a high enough Luck to avoid it without any problem. It also may not mean instant death to some opponents, allowing for the chance of a final counterattack before death. It can completely neutralize all physical barriers and armors that mean all physical defense and distance is rendered meaningless as it is one of the purest magics and simplest curses but of an extremely high level as there is no magic in Akame Ga Kill word to defend from that attack and if there is then it is going to need to be a stronger magic to stop it.

Guest chapter 27. Aug 4 JUST GOT AN AWESOME IDEA! FIRST MAKE A GATE CROSSOVER, THEN USING THE 'GATE' TO CROSS DIMENSIONS, OPEN A DIMENSION TO AKAME GA KILL! WHAT DO YOU SAY?: This is an ok idea but my main story is not related to the crossovers story.

Guest chapter 26. Jul 16 What are going to be servants reactions of WWI and WWII?: I can not really answer this question or how would their reactions be like as servants who came from various ages, when summoned they will automatically gain general knowledge about the era they are summoned in and history. Most of the servants accept that the world has changed since their times so servants don't really put any much thought of WWI and WWII.

Guest chapter 26. Jun 29 In Gate-crossover, I wonder what will be the reactions of everyone in the Saderan Empire once they realise they are fighting not only against people who are technologically superior to them, but also their Magic and let's not get to Servants( if you make them fight them) who will be so strong Saderan Empire will technically consider them GODS. What will Pina's reaction be on everything I just have written if she, more or less, LOST HER SHIT, ONLY BECAUSE OF THE SUPERIOR TECHNOLOGY?: Well, since every Imperial character who runs into the JSDF assumes that their Empire is the superior force, as they have ruled their world unopposed for over 600 years. When they witness what modern Earth weapons, combat vehicles, and servants can do firsthand...their reactions are oh, crap! or lose their cool over the course of the story.

For God/dess in Saderan world view their domain like a garden but most of the god/dess does have standards and take their job really seriously as Hardy keeps upending that garden by throwing in new and interesting things, with wild abandon, through abusing the Gate. Hardy also included, absolutely forbid rapid or sudden technological progress, upon pain of death, even when the gods' actions themselves are directly responsible, like opening a gate to a world with a vastly superior technological base. The good reason why Hady opening the gate is to give Saderan Empire is a serious spanking, to get the rest of the races in the Special Region out from under its heel, and the waking of the Flame Dragon was to drive the JSDF off Alnus so the Gate could be closed again before the world end. Well, be careful what she wishes for and her plan horribly wrong and right as she just wakes up the sleeping giant as Flanna would give Hardy a lesson that she would always remember.

Guest chapter 27. Jun 24 Hi, it's me once again. It just dawned on me...Lancelot is going to attack Jeanne on sight, isn't he? Lancer Alter too if she ever removes her helmet. Ironic when you consider he has already forgiven Artoria. Mordred I can understand. I hope he learns to control himself better when a saberface is present in front of him in the future. Siegfried is going to be the next summon, huh. That means Fafnir won't be too far behind. He's the first dragon the servants are going to fight, isn't he? Is he going to materialize in Benjamin's house or in the city? When the war is over will Benjamin and Flanna be working with the U.S government rather than for it? I recommend an Archer class servant for the next summoning since it's been awhile since an Archer has been summoned, like Chapter 4: No, Lancelot would not attack Jeanne on sight as he has rational thought back but would be uncomfortable at seeing saberface. Fafnir would materialize outside of BEnjamin's house and the battle would be at a city. Benjamin and Flanna would working with the U.S government for one time and then work with other government from the around the world to prevent the ideas that some other countries who are wary of the group and consider them to be tools of American imperialism, which is an easy conclusion to come to given that they are funded by an American government and their leader is a soldier who lives in America too and literally drapes herself in a sombre and gloomy colors of a unknown flag like in the Avengers movies. Flanna is also trying to prevent her group for being blamed by the media, the public, and the government for making the best choices in a bad situation, even if doing nothing would have been infinitely worse and try to obtain legal status for the servants so they can be recognized as legal citizens that like they want it or not. The recommend class servant, I would think about it.

"Sigh" I know you're going to be like "Are you kidding me right now" and I'm really sorry to keep bringing this up, I really am but... will you at least consider pairing Jeanne with Benjamin in the future. Their interaction in this chapter made a strong impression on me and also they are similar in the sense that they were both normal teenagers until they were given great responsibility and had to lead an army. The two of them can really relate. They just seem they would make a fine pairing with each other and how they're relationship develops would be interesting when compared to some other female servants who would be immediately infatuated with him on sight. Again, I'm really really sorry to have brought this up again and I swear this will be the last time: I would be ok with the paring and but I am getting tired of romance ideas that would not work very well or put it for no reason that sound like a random suggestion.

Guest chapter 1. Aug 3 How the Mage's Association, the Holy Church and everyone gonna to response to Void Shiki?: For the Mage's Association reaction with Void Shiki around, who is considered the root, they may try to take her to try and figures out how to get the Root as it would not take that long for them to realize Void Shiki is connected to the Root like Souren Araya who was able to figure out very fast in Kara no Kyoukai. If we consider all the type moon universe are in the same place, and they know the nature of Shiki which having a servant with that type of connection to the Root is like magus field day. The Mage's Association wants to know if the Akasha is imprinted upon Void Shiki's flesh, could the prana from her connection is different from the World's ambient prana, does the connection altered her physical structure in some way, what could she remember of the connection and can it be recreated? There's so much that could be learned from Void Shiki but Flanna would be said something like "I won't give Void Shiki to you guys! Can't you see that Void Shiki is my woman!" "Tch, crap! N-No! What I meant to say was..." she-she's my best friend

The Holy Church is only interested in this modern world, finds the Root completely meaningless but when they see her then she is going to be a very curious servant and trouble one for them deal with her. Since the Church don't believe in the Swirl of the Root as they thought it is a pure nonsense that magi have been hopeless try to reach it for whole life and here is the proof right in front of them in a disbelief reaction.

Everyone reaction is going be disbelief and shock that how the hell did the Mastermind able to do the impossible what no one has ever done, able to reach/call Akasha, the Spiral of Origin and the source of everything in the Nasuverse to his/her side as a physical servant and since she is the physical embodiment of Akasha that marks her as an all-powerful wish machine

Benjamin has no idea who she is beside her true name and assuming Void Shiki is an eastern goddess princess that he has never heard of. Flanna would enjoy of having her as a good company and a good servant of making tea. If they found out who she is, it would be same as always with added of Flanna and Benjamin treating/ask her as a book of everything.

Guest chapter 27. Aug 4 What would be Acht's reaction or any other Eizbern(including Iliya) be if either Flanna or Ben had Third Magic?: Well, Benjamin and Flanna don't have it. One of their servant Justeaze Lizrich von Einzbern, the Holy Maiden of Winter is considered a welder/user of the Third Magic, even if her version of it is horribly incomplete. A complete version of the Third Magic can incarnate someone's soul and allow them to realize immortality, granting them an unlimited source of magic due to the soul becoming analogous to a perpetual motion machine. Justeaze's incomplete version allows her to transfer someone's soul to another body/object without the soul degrading, as well as partially incarnate a Heroic Spirit as a Servant.

Their reactions would be in shock and disbelief face as the Einzberns has been starting their quest to recover their lost miracle since from the beginning and this Mastermind did the impossible of attaining it because the Eizenburn family who are obsessions over it. They hope that the Mastermind is the answer to their family's century old problem.

Guest chapter 27. Jul 30 There's a new ruler servant Sherlock Holmes what your opinion and will he appear in this story: Sherlock Holmes didn't seem to have the temperament or skills to be a Ruler class but for some reason, he was able to do some how. Yes, he would appear in the story.

Guest chapter 27. Jul 27 Whole thing kinda reminds me of Re Creators. With "Popular beings becoming real and having awesome powers" and "only selective knowledge for the public". Hell, we even have a supernatural being which brings other supernaturals to the real world! Main differences:

- No Government support, instead of having almost everyone as an enemy. Not that the Government can do a lot here: Well, there are independent mages from the US Mage's organization, working with the U.S. Government, manipulated events and to advertise it to outsiders with their own spies look for Benjamin and Flanna in hope that sibling can work with them for the American government and for the sake of their country. The US Mage's organization are the lesser of evils than the preferable the British Mage's Association who are filled with douchebags, stuck-up nobles and crazy, unhinged magi on the loose

- No real threats (I REFUSE to consider policemen, thugs, and snobbish Houdinis as threats. Caster and Assassin could kill them with fucking boxing gloves.). Only danger happens when Ben and Flanna are truly targeted: There were be dragon really soon in the chapters and group of corrupted Alter servants who also become Flanna's Master that would defend Angra Mainyu from being killed by the Fate/stay night characters which there would be a small battle. I would put the siblings to actually leads from the front inspire their servants and prove that they are worth to be their Master just in case. Flanna leads from the rear, ride on a horse back and forth along the line allowing the commander to personally intervene in a crises where she can control the battlefield and judge the right moment to throw in her own efforts while Benjamin leads from the front to inspire his servants showing off how much he trusted his servants to relieve them of the need to wield a weapon themselves but is more cautious about it, keeping a strong bodyguard and not taking unnecessary risks.

- No Enemy Servant Factions. Dunno if there even are going to be any: Because I don't want it as I am trying to make a unique story is not repeat compared to the usual Holy Grail War fan fiction that always involved OC, Shirou, Rin, Artoria, and EMIYA that become really boring and uninterest after a while.

What is even your plan? I get that the siblings are taking this situation seriously as they should be, but at the same time, it's too serious! Their "war" is more like a one-sided massacre. I understand that they protect themselves as realistic as possible, but it lacks the thrill if you get what I mean. On a side note, how about a TBH & Re Creators Crossover?: The siblings are trying to not make themselves as too invincible as they overestimated their foe to point of overkill their enemy. I know this lacks the action thriller that you usually see in Fate Stay Night fan fiction stories as this suppose to be something new and unique because I was a bit disappointed that no one in the Fate series stories/ fanfiction wasn't able to blow the whole magic conspiracy wide open but I guess people/person has his/their limits when dealing with an organization as large and powerful as the Magic Association but there is some physical evidence to counter that and the fact that The Church and Mages Association are in hot water since the Holy Grail war came into light to the public. Now that the world knows something I'm sure Mages are in hiding in their organization(not shall what to do)and the Church would have to come up with a good explanation for being involved.

So, the thriller is actually a police procedural crime drama with police OCs coping with that bombshell of the world beyond magecraft like the vampires and the will of the earth itself trying to go green by killing humans is actually kinda scary. If he somehow DOES manage to arrest and expose the Clocktower, then he'll pretty much break the masquerade and cause a worldwide panic on both sides.

An another thriller is that this entire story as a whole pretty much revolves around a completely logical conclusion from what everyone knows, and are completely wrong about the siblings with Fate/stay night characters making wildly wrong assumptions about the sibling from their morality, to the nature of their abilities, capable of summoning servants without let anyone get their own, their skills are bizarre by magus standards, their morality doesn't even line up with most magi, by the logic of modern magi, and sometimes even heroic spirits it's impossible for a human to able summon impossible servants/class in a regular Grail War Summoning system. Add it all together, and you have a group that is frighteningly incomprehensible to the Fate/stay night cast who are there to get the Holy Grail by whatever means and keeps anyone from finding out. The siblings are acting all mysterious and ominous, with suspicious actions being thrown out as Shirou and his allies first instinct attack the people who haven't done anything yet and not respond to their questions.

On the other side of the coin, the magi and Heroic Spirits are this to the siblings being unlike anything they have seen in their life. Though, they do have a book and the Holy Grail to explain the basics behind their new enemies, so they end up adopting far quicker than everyone else. They are trying to maintain the balance of leadership and keep casualties to a minimum.

Guest chapter 27. Jul 19 HOLY. DUDE, there is this one servant fan fiction author NHunter made, I really want to hear-read your opinion of this Caster Dr. David Bowman from the Series: Arthur C. Clarke's Space Odysseys: An interesting choice for a Servant but unfortunate base in his state, he is perhaps a bit squishier than other classes and his NPs can easily be spam by EX rank Mana as in fights he simply spams with that black hole and win on a totally-lopsided domination in a Holy Grail War as his NP Monoliths are impervious to any known forms of direct damage and can't be scanned with human technology. My opinion on him is that he is too OP like King Solomon from outer space and that one-shot story was him steamroll and nerf other servants to the death.

Guest chapter 26. Jul 19 Summon Gun God first, then summon Ado Edem later, I think it's for the best.( Main reason being that if we wait a little bit longer they MIGHT give us some more information, or even better, summon him as a servant in Fate Grand Order, although the probability of the last one happening is VERY small): Well, sure that would all right then, the Angel Notes seem to be a short story and I am not sure if Kinoko Nasu would add him as a servant or write more Angel Notes chapters which the chance is so very low. His stats/skills are fine and balanced as actually makes a lot of sense when you look at compare to one up top. The Affections of the Goddess skill make a little bit of sense except that Type Venus is not a goddess but who cares and yes, I would summon her as Berserker class because that is the only class that can fit her. There was a Fanfiction "Little Angel Go Away" which Type Venus appear and one of the few fanfictions of Angel Notes.

Almost anyone who at least knows what Ultimate Ones who are the strongest beings in the entire Nasuverse would have a terrible chill down their spine and make almost every servant's quiver in fear of Aristoteles being near to them as just imagining the act of walking beside an Ultimate Ones which their mission was to destroy all of the humanity made everyone include the servants present shiver in fear as that would be like living next to a starving monster. It would be normal for a regular person to be afraid of them. I am thinking of summoning Type Mercury (In a human form or not) somewhere in chapters who would follow Benjamin and Flanna's order for fun and laugh.
