"Fuhahahaha! Love! Love!" Berserker of Alpha shouted as he swung at Berserker of Omega.

The result of the two fighting was exactly what one would expect from Servants belonging to a class comprised entirely of those who sacrificed sanity for power; brutal savagery and massive damage to their surroundings. Berserker of Alpha swung his fists and gladius sword while Berserker of Omega swung his massive axe-sword. Berserker of Alpha's truly extraordinary Endurance was the only thing keeping this battle from being completely one-sided in his opponent's favor, for his D-Rank Agility meant he was super slow compared to his opponent's A-Rank Agility. Furthermore, whenever the gladiator landed a hit on the Greek hero, it held good strength behind it and would actually damage the enemy Berserker.

But this battle would not be a complete struggle forever, for Spartacus' Noble Phantasm, Crying Warmonger, was potentially a great boon to him. As the gladiator takes damage, Prana is built up in him and he is able to use it to grant a boost. His extremely high Endurance allows him to take great advantage of this effect and the brutal fighting with Berserker of Omega meant that he was sustaining massive damage, which in turn meant more Prana was being built up in him. Therefore, his parameters, with the exception of Endurance, were gradually Ranking Up.

A mean right hook hit Heracles' jaw and caused him to grunt in pain. The mad Servant proceeded to retaliate by smacking his opponent in the face with the flat end of his axe-sword, only electing laughter from the apparent masochist.

Meanwhile, Wesley and Jeffrey were having their own fight. Jeffrey knew that simply try to cut and stab Wesley with his knife wouldn't work, so he began alternating between attacking with his knife and his fist to keep Wesley on his toes in hopes that he would eventually slip up and leave himself open for a fatal slice.

But the fight was more in Wesley's favor due to him being more muscular than his opponent. Jeffrey knew that he would have to get his gun back to stand a chance at winning. He kneed Wesley in the crotch before punching him the crotch, causing the thuggish man to release the ginger's arm holding the knife. However, Wesley recovered quickly enough that Jeffrey couldn't stab him and get it over with, but quick enough that he could make a break for his gun. When Wesley saw Jeffrey grab the gun, he ducked behind a pillar to evade a shot.

Wesley pulled his pistol out and peeked out from behind the pillar to take a shot at Jeffrey. However, the Master of Omega hid behind another pillar, causing the shot to miss.

Wesley frowned. He should have expected the gunshot would miss, but he still needed to conserve bullets.

'Berserker, I doubt that I can kill the enemy Master. I'm going to meet up with the rest of our team.' Wesley mentally said to his Servant. 'Please keep Berserker of Omega stalled for me.'

"None will get past me and my love!" Berserker shouted, confirming that he heard Wesley's request.

Wesley bolted for the stairs. Jeffrey tried firing a few shots at his fleeing opponent, but was unable to hit him. He growled in irritation. He knew what the man was doing. He was for whatever reason not in a position where he could win, so he was running to meet up with his allies. If Jeffrey gave chase, he would end up being led to five other Servants would have no trouble killing him. He could use a Command Seal to summon Berserker of Omega to him, but Wesley could do the same. Even with Lancer of Omega's aid, an enemy Berserker that was already formidable enough on his own being aided by five other Servants would surely be a costly battle. Not to mention that Assassin of Alpha, who specialized in killing Masters, would be able to take advantage of Berserker and Lancer being stalled by the others to kill Jeffrey and Harry.

Thus, Jeffrey chose not to follow and pulled out his radio to warn Harry to wait until the Alpha faction had engaged Caster. Hopefully that would lower the cost of the battle.


Fate/new dawn
Chapter 19: Siege - Queen of the Castle


"There's no one on this floor either." Lily muttered. "We'll be in trouble if another one of those Chimeras show up."

"I doubt that there are anymore. There's no blood on this floor." Ian stopped to think. "Caster might have the homunculi hiding around here to ambush us, or she's gathered them all to throw at us later."

"Possibly." Caster replied. "She obviously sees the homunculi as expendable, but I doubt that she's foolish. She's likely planning something."

Ian's radio then went off and he answered. "Hello?"

"ian, are you and Lily on the fourth floor?" Marcus asked from the other end of the line.

"We are." Ian responded.

"Good. There seems to be no one on this floor, so it should be safe to walk around until we meet up." his uncle said.

"Got it. See you later." Ian put the radio away. "We just need to keep walking around until we meet them."

They started walking but it wasn't long until they heard rapid footsteps coming up the stairs. The four of them turned around and saw Wesley running up the stairs. Lily and Ian sighed in relief, having feared that it was Berserker of Omega. Wesley stopped in front of them and began panting.

"Berserker's stalling Berserker of Omega." Wesley said. "So, what's the plan?"

"This floor seems to be empty. We're going to meet up with the others, but we don't really know where they are." Ian said. "We're just gonna walk around until we find them."

"Is that really the best you have?"

Ian shrugged. Wesley sighed and the five members of the Alpha faction began walking. The process of walking around randomly until they found their teammates was a difficult one because of how large the castle itself was. One floor alone was pretty big and the layout of the castle made finding one's way through it was tricky.

"So, what'd you kids want so much that you ended up being dragged into a Grail War for it?" Wesley asked.

"I, uh, I don't want to talk about it." Lily said timidly.

The thuggish man shrugged before speaking to Ian. "What about you, kid?"

"I don't know. Maybe to find out if my mom's proud of me, I guess. Mom died when I was little. Uncle Marcus said she was a Master in the last War. My father left when I was even younger, though." Ian answered.

"And what about you two?" the brunette said to Assassin and Caster.

"We wanted to be able to stay with Daddy." Assassin immediately gave a cheerful answer, one that was more innocent than Lily, Caster, and Wesley were expecting. "We originally wanted to go back inside our mommy, but we love Daddy and want to stay with him."

"Daddy loves us too, right Daddy?" the little girl looked up at Ian.

"Yes I do, Assassin." the black-haired boy smiled at the young one's adorable behavior.

"Yay!" she replied happily.

Ian chuckled and ruffled Assassin's hair.

"And what about you?" Wesley said to Caster.

"I don't have one. I responded to Master's summons on a whim." the dragon woman responded, surprising Wesley.

"On a whim? Are you serious? That's it?"

"Indeed." she nodded.

"It's not all that unusual." Ian stated. "Some Servants fight in the Grail War because they want to fight powerful opponents."

"If Berserker were here, I'm pretty sure he'd give some incomprehensible answer regarding something about rebellion, love, or some other nonsense." Wesley snarked.

"That's Berserkers for you, though. They have several loose screws." Ian replied. "What's your wish, Mr. Wesley?"

"Money. I want to have more than enough money to move into a house better than my sh-" Ian shot the thuggish man a glare. "-abby apartment. Hopefully somewhere far away from those Python punks."

"Wait, Pythons?" Lily said shocked. "You live in a neighborhood with a gang?"

"Unfortunately." Wesley said, irritated. "Those freaks won't leave me alone after I fought off some of their punks when they jumped me."

"So, they're bullies?" Assassin said.

"I guess. Very mean ones." the thuggish man shrugged.

"Daddy, can we kill those bullies?" Assassin asked Ian. "They can't be bullies if they're dead."

"No. That's a bad idea." Ian denied.

"Aw..." Assassin whined, acting like Ian was denying her candy.

"Hey, I found them!"

Ian looked forward to see Abraham with Marcus, Serena, Saber, Archer, and Rider next to him. The two groups then began walking towards each other before meeting up.

"So, Omega's boss has turned on Caster and sent Berserker after her, huh?" Marcus said. "That's troubling."

"Thing's a monster. Gave Berserker a hard time before I had to run from the Master. Wouldn't be able to win a gun fight with him. Shouldn't have wasted that mag on that chimera..." Wesley mentally kicked himself for that last one.

"There was another one of those things?" Abraham said.

"Wait what?" Wesley responded. "There were two?"

"Fought one of them. It didn't go down easily." Archer said.

"White Chimeras were boss-level enemies In FGO anyway." Ian said.

"Ian, I don't think using a video game for reference is a good idea." Serena said.

"And here we are in what could easily be a lousy fanfiction plot." Ian retorted.

"Fair enough." the bodyguard said.

"We need to getting moving, the sooner we get to Caster, the better." Marcus said. "And neither of us want to deal with Heracles."

"I mean, I like fighting powerful opponents, but taking that thing on would be suicide." Saber shrugged.

"Berserker's keeping him stalled. We'll be fine." Wesley said after checking on his mental connection to his Servant. "Oh! And that's one less life for Heracles."


Jeffrey's eyes widened in horror when he saw Berserker of Omega's muscles begin glowing red. That meant one of the extra lives granted by God Hand had been depleted.

"Harry, I need backup. Berserker of Alpha is proving to be too much of a pest." he said into his earpiece.


"They're beginning to approach the fifth floor." Ada muttered. "I kinda feel like this is going to be a waste."

"I doubt it. With this many homunculi, we should hopefully be able to take out at least one Master." Caster said dismissively. "Them leaving Berserker of Alpha behind might be beneficial to us."

"I hope you're right." Ada said. "Depending on how many Command Seals that maniac's Master has, he could just summon him back. They have almost two floors between themselves and our former teammates."

"Oh, look at that. They've reached the fifth floor."

"'Yes. Come closer.' said the spider to the fly." Caster recited.

Ada sighed as she leaned back on the throne. This was becoming way too troublesome. Would getting the Grail even be worth it? And what would she even be using it for? To make her parents accept her? would this much trouble even be worth it?


One year ago...

Ada was a senior in high school at that time. The end of the year was drawing near and while the freshmen, sophomores, and juniors were excited for a break from school, many of the seniors were anxious about what would happen now that they graduated.

"So, just two more weeks, huh. Can you believe that?"

The person who spoke was named Emily Jones. She and Ada were very close. Emily was a head taller than Ada and she had long blonde hair and hazel eyes. She wore a white red shirt, black tracksuit, and black shoes.

"Yeah." Ada nodded. "Once that's done with, I'm moving out my house as quick as I can. That way we won't have to hide that we're a thing anymore."

"Chad's planning on throwing a party at his house a few days after graduation. Think you'll be able to come?" Emily said.

"I'll see. Hopefully my parents won't mind."

Two and a half weeks went by and they went by fast. Ada was able to go to that party after all and Emily was there.

"Glad to see you could make it." the taller girl said.

"Thanks. Same to you." the shorter one smiled.

Emily handed Ada a cup of punch. "Have some. It's good."

"Thanks." Ada said as she received the cup.

What they didn't know was that some immature joker had spiked the punch. The two of them ended up getting drunk, walking into, a bedroom, getting naked, and well..getting physical. When they woke up the next morning, their memory of it was blurred.

"Ugh, my head." Emily groaned as she woke up. "What ha- Ada?"

"Yeah?" Ada said groggily as she woke up.

"Why are we both- Oh my God, we actually..."

"Y'know, it actually felt pretty good." Ada said. "If we do move into an apartment like we planned, we should do this a little more often. Just, without the spiked punch."

The problem was that they forgot to lock the door because they were drunk and someone took pictures of the two girls going at it.

To make matters worse, that picture ended up somehow making its way to Ada's parents. They weren't happy about it in the slightest.

"Get out of here, you freak!" her father yelled as he literally threw Ada out of the house. "You're not my daughter! Go die on the street like the rat you are!"

Ada looked up with tears in her eyes and began getting up to run away.


Ada shook her head at the memories, trying to distract herself from them, but her mind got back on them. 'But I haven't spoken to Emily since... No matter what happens here, I need to get out so that I can talk to Emily again.'

"Caster." Ada said.

"Yes, Master?" Caster responded.

"Your creation of Mordred gave you some faux Command Seals, right?" Ada said. "You managed to somehow essentially hack the freaking Grail to somehow create an entirely new false Heroic Spirit for yourself, so logically you should. And I can see them on your hand anyway, so don't lie."

"Yes." Caster sighed. "That was a side effect of Project Mordred. Why do you ask?"

"Give them to me." Ada demanded. "If you die, Mordred goes with you, and I am not going to completely lose protection while this madness is going on. If you die, then I'm going to run straight for that emergency escape route you prepared. And I likely couldn't make it there without protection, so give the Command Seals to me."

Caster had put a magic circle in Ada's room so that she could travel to the city when needed. There was another circle just like that on the other side of the link so that she could travel back to the castle. This cut out the risk of having to cross the dangerous forest filled with Monstrous Beasts.

"Master, are you sure about this? These Command Seals have lower power than the real thing and Mordred is only a pale reflection of the original."

"By the power of my Command Seal, give me Mordred's Command Seals." Ada commanded.

Caster tried to resist the Command Seal and was almost succeeding, so Ada tried another one.

"Give me Mordred's Command Seals."

The application of a second Command Seal worked. Caster turned and held her hand out. Ada grabbed it with her left hand and took the Command Seals from her Servant.


"Berserker, come to me!" Wesley shouted as he activated one of his Command Seals.

In a flash of red light, Berserker of Alpha was standing by Wesley. He then charged at the swarm of Homunculi and began mowing them down. It was a fairly slow process because although Berserker was extremely powerful, the numbers of the Homunculi were even greater.

"Saber! Use your Noble Phantasm! Now!"

Saber sheathed her swords and closed her eyes, golden particles beginning to appear around her.

"Amen. I place my trust in Tenjin of the Tenman Shrine, deity of absolute freedom."

A large figure appeared around her. It was humanoid with dark skin, four arms, black haired tied back in a ponytail, and glowing red eyes. Each of its four arms had a sword grasped in hand, respectively representing the elements of Earth, Wind, Fire, and Water.

"Nioh Kurikara!" Saber's eyes shot open as the monstrous figure began swinging its swords at the swarm of homunculi. "Shotenshou!"

"Let's go! Master's blade draw!"

Saber then unsheathed one of her swords and grasped it with both hands. A large pillar of energy erupted around the blade before becoming concentrated into a beam that was of the same width as the blade but still pierced the heavens.

"Ishana Daitenshou!" Saber yelled as she swung the sword downwards, causing a bright flash of light.

When the light subsided, most of the homunculi swarm was eliminated. Saber stopped to catch her breath due to the significant Prana drain.

"Can you go on?" Abraham asked.

"Yeah." Saber said. "I just can't do that again until my Prana's fully replenished."

Berserker did not pay attention to any of that and was just fighting his way through the swarming homunculi. Rider turned his attention away from the spectacle and summoned Bayard to help mow down the homunculi.

"Ryujin!" Caster shouted as she launched a large fireball with staff, further thinning down the numbers of homunculi.

After that, it wasn't much longer until the swarm was completely eliminated. However, the result disturbed everyone who wasn't Saber, who was a warrior in life, Berserker, or Assassin.

"My God..." Serena muttered.

Abraham turned around and ran into a corner to puke. Marcus was especially disturbed because a similar scene unfolded in the last Grail War. The Master of Caster in that War was the leader of an organization that believed in a terrible ideology and the Caster they summoned was the "person" who invented that ideology. Caster was promptly made their leader and they all gladly threw their lives away for him.

'Don't focus on the bodies. Just ignore them.' Ian thought as he walked through the sea of corpses with a blank look on his face.

"Come! We must defeat the oppressor!" Berserker shouted.


Ada and Mordred were just as appalled by the result of Caster sending every homunculus in the castle to attack the Alpha faction. Caster scoffed in disappointment that they failed to kill just one Master.

"Caster... Why?" Ada looked at Caster with tears in her eyes. "Why did you do that?"

"Does it matter?" Caster replied coldly after turning to face her Master.

"Caster, they're artificial, but they're still human." Ada stated. "...And you just threw them all away."

"So?" Caster dismissed before turning back around.

Ada motioned for Mordred to come closer before whispering to her. "As soon as we get the opportunity, we're leaving and throwing Caster to the wolves."

Mordred nodded in response.


The Alpha faction had already moved on to the next floor when Jeffrey, Harry, Berserker of Omega, and Lancer of Omega arrived to the fifth floor. Harry was horrified at the sea of dead homunculi before them, while his teammates weren't. Lancer was a warrior in life, so the sight was quite familiar to him, while the other two were mentally unstable. Jeffrey started to walk forwards, stepping on the dead homunculi, with Berserker following suit, crushing the ones he stepped on. Harry was the last to go and he tried to avoid stepping on the bodies as best as he could.


"So, you've made it." Caster said as the Alpha faction approached the throne room. "I'm utterly disappointed that those homunculi failed to kill a single one of you."

"Archer." Marcus growled.

"I am the bone of my sword... Caladbolg!" Archer let the Broken Phantasm fly towards Caster.

Caster held out her hand and uttered a spell that created a barrier. Caladbolg II struck the barrier and exploded, but couldn't harm anyone on the other side. The barrier dissipated before Caster spoke another chant, balls of dark energy appearing around her before being unleashed as beams. Her opponents scattered to avoid being blasted, with Saber and Rider charging forwards to attack Caster. Berserker was the only one who didn't bother to dodge and just tanked the blasts. Mordred stepped in to intercept them both and forced them to back away a little bit.

"Is that another Servant?" Saber exclaimed. "That's impossible!"

"Foolish wench. That Servant is the product of my Noble Phantasm, Project Mordred. My magecraft is amongst the greatest in all history." Caster boasted.

"The rebellion begins!" Berserker charged toward Caster. "Die, tyrant!"

Caster used her magical abilities to fly out of the reach of Berserkers attacks before activating a spell that fired a large fireball from her staff. Of course, that barely did anything to the insane gladiator. Caster of Alpha then launched a fireball at her counterpart in response. Caster of Omega retaliated with more beams of dark energy that struck Caster of Alpha and knocked the dragon woman down.

"Get back here and fight, oppressor! Have you no pride?" he shouted.

"Be silent." Caster then began another chant that summoned many dark orbs before firing them as beams at Berserker.

Archer took aim with his bow and was about to fire before he heard loud, heavy footsteps coming from behind the group and getting closer. He turned around and saw Berserker and Lancer of Omega.

"That's not good..." the tanned man muttered before firing at the other Servants of Omega.

Berserker charged forwards and began to force Archer back, only to get Berserker of Alpha's attention.

"We met again, tyrant!" he shouted.

"▂▂▃▃▅▅ーーー!" Berserker of Omega roared.

Rider then his attention away from Mordred and began running towards Lancer.

"Bowman, focus your attention on Caster. I'll ensure that no enemy gets to you." he said to Archer.

Archer ran towards Caster and avoided some beams of dark energy before Reinforcing his legs to leap towards her. His ally noticed him approaching and launched a large fireball at her opponent. A barrier was created to block the fireball but left Morgan open when she dropped it. Archer then summoned Kanshou and Bakuya and slashed at her using Kanshou, only to barely miss and begin falling. He threw Bakuya, but still missed. Just when the blonde was about to smile smugly behind her veil, Archer gave her a smug smile. She turned around and saw the white yin sword returning to Archer, or more precisely Kanshou, like a boomerang. While it was on its way back to its "husband", Bakuya cut the Evil Fae about her cleavage.

Assassin had activated her Presence Concealment and tried to go attack Ada, only to run into a Bounded Field.

"Too bad." Ada said. "Better luck next time."

Assassin was about to try to attack the Bounded Field, but stopped when she heard Ian speak telepathically to her. "Go help Saber."

"Okay, Daddy!" Assassin said before going to assist Saber against Mordred.

Assassin lunged at Mordred from behind. The armored Servant turned to block the knives with her sword and kicked Saber away behind her. Saber tried to attack again but her swords were blocked by Mordred, who kneed her in the gut before throwing a punch. Assassin took to the opening to stab Mordred in the back, causing her to grunt in pain before quickly turning around and punching the little Servant in the face. Mordred spun back around to attack Saber again, only for her to parry the attack with one sword and follow it up with a slash from the other.

Meanwhile, Rider was having a rough time with fighting Lancer. The blue-haired spearman attacked at speeds much faster than his opponent, making it very hard to counter. Lancer thrust his spear forward but Rider was able to dodge and counter with a slice from his sword. Lancer then swung the spear but Rider was once again able to react and block it.

'He is quick. I'll have to wait until I can find an opening, then strike quickly.' the knight furrowed his brow and sharpened his focus to pay close attention to Lancer's movements.

Rider's success in blocking Lancer's strikes were varied. The Heroic Spirit of the Lance then leapt into the air and tried to strike while descending. However, the brown-haired knight sidestepped and thrust his sword forward, cutting Lancer's side as he tried to turn around and parry. The two dueling heroes then proceeded to trade blows, swinging spear and sword at each other to block and attack.

The two Berserkers destroyed a few pillars in their fighting. Spartacus punched Heracles in the jaw twice before kicking him away and charging to knock Berserker into a wall. The wall came crashing down before Heracles got up and dashed towards his opponent, bringing his axe-sword down on the gladiators head.

"Oh, what joy!" the eternally-grinning madman shouted. "I will embrace you with my love, oppressor!"


Jeffrey had walked into the room that Marcus and Serena ducked into.

"So, it really is you..." Marcus said sadly.

"Yes. It's me." Jeffrey aimed his pistol at Marcus. "And I will finish what Kylie started."

Serena blindsided Jeffrey and punched him in the face before he could pull the trigger. Jeffrey growled in irritation and elbowed Serena before being punched again by Marcus. Jeffrey dropped his gun but didn't try to immediately pick it up. He blocked another punch from Serena before kneeing Marcus in the gut, only to get punched by Serena again. The ginger then focused on getting Serena out of the way and threw a punch at her, only get hit in the back of the head by Marcus. Jeffrey elbowed Marcus in the face before kicking him away and punching Serena, only to take a kick to the groin.


Harry watched the fight from afar. He saw that while Caster was preoccupied by Archer, everyone else was preoccupied by other Servants. He couldn't attack Ada either because of that Bounded Field. And Jeffrey was off trying to kill somebody. The bespectacled psycho's behavior was starting to really disgust the shaggy man.

He couldn't attack the Master, and frankly, he didn't want to. He may have been a deadbeat, but Harry wasn't psychotic.

It was then that he had a plan.

Frederick just said to eliminate Caster, so that was all he had to do.

'Lancer. I have a plan to kill Caster and get out of here, so listen close.'


Archer deployed Rho Aias to block a large fireball launched at him by Caster. As soon as it was dropped, he summoned his bow and began returning fire. Caster then summoned several runes in front of her in a circle and they unleashed a highly concentrated beam of dark energy at Archer. Archer summoned Caladbolg II and let it fly towards the laser while Caster of Alpha launched a large fireball at it. The ensuing explosion sent a shockwave that sent the two Servants back. Caster hit a wall and fell to the floor. Archer summoned Kanshou and Bakuya and went to attack the enemy Caster while she was down. However, the Evil Fae created a barrier right when the red bowman was about to strike. Archer cursed under his breath as Caster ascended into the air again.

Rider's fight with Lancer was progressing fairly smoothly but neither were anywhere close to victory over the other.

Unfortunately for Rider, Lancer decided to pull his trump card.

The spearman stepped back and grasped his spear with both hand and got into position to deliver a mighty thrust as his red spear began glowing.

"Gae! BOLG!"

Cause began effect and effect became cause. Gae Bolg's power reversed causality so that Rider's heart was already pierced before Lancer thrust his spear forward. Rider screamed in pain as he was hit by the Noble Phantasm. The spear was pulled out and Rider fell down. Fortunately for him, his Battle Continuation bought him a few more moments of life and he stood to his feet, intent on continuing to fight. He thrust his sword forward and stabbed Lancer in the chest, but failed to hit the heart. Lancer stabbed the knight through the gut, finishing him for good.

"Master... I'm sorry..." Rider said as he dissolved in a shower of golden particles.

Meanwhile, Mordred was still fighting Saber and Assassin. The False Heroic Spirit had received a plan from Ada through their mental link and was beginning to move into position to enact it. Berserker of Omega was now in her line of vision and she could enact that plan. Her helmet collapsed into her armor as she grasped her sword with both hands. Red lightning erupted from the sword. Saber and Assassin's eyes widened when they realized their opponent was about to unleash her Noble Phantasm.

"Clarent Blood Arthur!" Mordred shouted as she swung the sword downwards.

The two Servants of Alpha dematerialized right when she began swinging the sword down, but they were not her targets. Berserker of Alpha was taken by surprised when a massive beam of red lightning came out of nowhere and struck Berserker of Omega. Lancer was on his way to attack Caster of Omega and stopped just in time when the Noble Phantasm's power came roaring by.

Berserker of Omega's muscles began glowing red as God Hand's effect set in.

"Time to go, Mor-Mor." Ada said telepathically to Mordred.

The False Servant ran towards her. Mordred picked Ada up in her arms and ran off while holding her Master in a bridal carry. Saber and Assassin materialized and Assassin gave chase on Ian's command. Lancer continued advancing towards Caster and halted when he was in position to throw his spear.

"Gae Bolg!" he yelled as he threw the spear from his hand.

Caster of Omega detected that a large source of Prana was heading towards her fast, but she too distracted with the Servants of Alpha to create a barrier. She was then impaled by Gae Bolg and fell to the ground and Archer and Caster of Alpha turned around in surprise to see where the spear came from.

"Goodbye, Caster." Ada's voice said tauntingly to Caster upon detecting the fatal blow being dealt to her.

It was at that moment that Caster realized Ada had betrayed her and left her for dead.

"Y-You... Curse...YOU!" Caster screamed as she dissolved into golden particles.


Jeffrey was still fighting with Serena and Marcus and he was losing fairly badly. Unfortunately for them, Serena felt her connection to Rider go dead. She quickly looked at her hand and, to her horror, saw the Command Seals no longer there. Jeffrey decided to take advantage of the distraction, pull a knife out, and swiftly stabbed the bodyguard in the gut.

"Serena!" Marcus yelled.

Serena fell down and Marcus quickly caught her. Jeffrey quickly grabbed his pistol and was about to aim for Marcus when someone grabbed his arm to keep him from aiming at Marcus.

"That's enough."

Jeffrey turned to see Harry with Lancer standing with his spear at the ready.

"Caster of Omega is dead. We have what we came...for." Harry's eyes widened upon seeing Marcus. "...Oh, s***."

"You!" Marcus snarled at Harry.

"We're leaving. One wrong move and Lancer runs you through." Harry said to Jeffrey before dragging him away. "Have Heracles cover us."


Mordred and Ada ran into the latter's room and locked the door behind themselves. Mordred let Ada down in the middle of the magic circle before standing beside her. Ada concentrated her magic like Caster taught her to and activated the circle. In an instant, it was like they were never there in the first place.

On the other side of the door, Assassin sensed the Servant signature randomly vanish. She pouted before going back to Ian.


With all of the Omega faction members but Berserker of Omega gone, though he was preoccupied with Spartacus, the members of the Alpha faction were able to regroup.

"We need to get out of here now." Marcus said, holding Serena in his arms.

"What happened?" ian asked.

"Got in a fight with Berserker's Master. We need to get to a hospital quick." the CEO said before starting to leave.

The rest of his teammates followed quickly afterwards. However, Wesley was the last. He turned to see how Berserker of Alpha was doing and figure out his next course of action. It seemed like he would have to summon Berserker to him using a Command Seal again.

'What a troublesome musclehead...' he sighed.

As his comrades fled the castle, Berserker continued to fight his opponent. Spartacus' grin grew wider as he continued to fight Heracles. Although the Greek hero was an oppressor in the remnants of his mind, he had to admit that Heracles was quite the opponent. And victory would prove to be a testament to the strength of his rebellion; no matter how many times the oppressor got back up to fight, his love would still overcome tyranny.

"Oh, oppressor! Let me embrace you and show the strength of my love!" the mad gladiator declared.

The combat continued. The two mad warriors had only one thing on their mind; kill the enemy. Even though Spartacus was able to stay in the ring with the mighty Heracles for extended periods of time, he was starting approach his limits. But he still continued fighting. With a loud and mighty yell, Spartacus pushed Heracles down so hard that the floor fell out from under him. The insane gladiator then jumped down after him.

"My pride endures! My love endures! My rebellion endures! It will never fail!" he shouted as he fell. "ALL OPPRESSORS WILL FALL TO THE MIGHTY LOVE OF MY REBELLION!"

They were now back on the first floor, just near the entrance of the castle. And they still continued fighting, but Spartacus' power was waning. Berserker of Omega swung his axe-sword hard enough that it sent Spartacus flying until he was just underneath the gate.

"Berserker, unleash your Noble Phantasm." Wesley's voice said to the ash-skinned gladiator.

"Hahahahahaha!" Berserker bellowed as electricity began to emanate wildly from him. "My love shall destroy all oppressors! My love is going to explode!"

Not caring for how wrong that last sentence sounded, Berserker of Alpha unleashed a large, almighty blast of electricity at Berserker of Omega. Once the blast subsided, the middle section of Caster's castle was unable to be supported and came falling down. Berserker of Alpha was then summoned back to Wesley using a Command Seal.


Wesley was waiting near his truck when he saw Berserker appear in front of him.

"The oppressor has fallen, friend!" Berserker shouted.

Wesley knew that wasn't true but still felt quite proud of Spartacus. He was crazy, he was difficult to work with, but he still put up a great fight when it counted.

"Good job, Spartacus. I knew I could count on you." Wesley said. "We'll celebrate when we get back to the city."

"Celebrate?" the muscular man said, confused.

"It's what you do whenever you're victorious." Wesley said as he sat in the truck. "For example, your victory over Heracles is something worth celebrating."

"It was only to be expected! My love conquers all oppression!"


The first thing that Ada did after the magic circle transported her back to her apartment was collapse on the bed.

"What a day." Ada groaned.

"So, what do we do now, Master?" Mordred asked.

"Omega betrayed us, so we're going to get back at them." Ada said. "Plus, the Alpha faction needs more manpower anyway. They've lost two of their guys now and are still in a stalemate with Omega."

"But that can wait. I have to make amends with someone first." Ada pulled her phone out and dialed a number before putting it up to her ear.

"Hello?"

"I-Is this Emily Jones?" Ada asked.

"Yes. Who is- Ada, is that you?"

"Yes. It's me, Emily." Ada replied.

"Oh my God... Ada..." Emily said in shock. "What happened? I haven't heard from you for a whole year. I was so worried about you!"

"I know... I'm sorry." Ada said sadly. "I'm in Philburg. Do you think you can come by next weekend."

"I will."

"Good. I really missed you, Emily."

"Ada, promise me that when we meet, you'll tell me everything that happened. Please."

"I will."

"I love you, Ada."

"I love you too, Emily."


It was now five-thrity in the evening. Marcus dropped Ian and Lily off at the house and rushed Serena to the hospital. Shortly afterwards, Lily's father, Jorge, came to pick her up. Now, it was just him and Assassin at the house. Ian had prepared dinner and the two of them were eating.

"You did a good job today, Assassin." Ian said.

"Thank you, Daddy." the little girl said happily.

"How about I take you out for some ice cream after dinner?"

"Ice cream?" Assassin inquired.

"It's a very delicious type of desert." Ian explained. "You'll like it. Trust me."

"Yay! Ice cream!" the white-haired girl cheered.


"Good work." Frederick said. "I knew I could count on you."

"Thank you, sir." Jeffrey smiled.

"Although there are still an equivalent number of Servants on each side, we no longer have any liabilities like Caster to worry about." Frederick said. "This War is going smoothly."

"Now take it easy for the day. You've earned it."

"Thank you, Mr. James." Jeffrey said before taking his leave.

Harry stayed behind and waited for the ginger to leave before walking up to Frederick's desk.

"Keep an eye on Stanford." he warned. "He doesn't seem trustworthy."

"How so?" the rich man inquired.

"He's too eager to kill people. I'm worried he'll turn on us before Alpha's out of the ring." the shaggy man said. "Plus, I've seen lots of people like him in Vegas. Always got knife hidden on them and are just eager for you to turn your back to them."

"And once you do, they'll happily stab you."

Frederick narrowed his eyes. "I see. I'll take your suggestions into account."

"Have a good evening, Mr. James." the brunette said as he began to leave.


Jeffrey sat in the rundown apartment he was using while he was in Philburg. That was when Kylie decided to show herself.

"There is only a chance that the woman you stabbed is dead." the ghost girl said. "But all those homunculi you butchered more than make up for it."

Jeffrey sighed in relief. That meant his body was still his.

"But, you better kill a lot more people from now on, because I will not wait this time. I don't care who you kill. I don't care if it's some innocent bystander or another Master. I just wanted to hear the screams and see the terror in their eyes before the lights go out."

"Don't disappoint me, Jeffrey."


Caster of Omega
True Name: Morgan le Fay
Master: Ada Winchester
Alignment: Chaotic Neutral, bordering on Evil
Gender: Female

Strength: D
Endurance: E
Agility: C
Mana: A
Luck: B
Noble Phantasm: A

Class Skills
Territory Creation A
Skill to create a special terrain that is advantageous to oneself as a magus. Caster is capable of creating a "Fortress", a area far superior to a "Workshop".

Item Construction B
Skill to manufacture magical items. Caster is capable of creating artifacts on a level of weak Noble Phantasms, given enough time and resources, and is knowledgeable in the ways of manufacturing and enchanting items.

Personal Skills
Familiars (Various) C
Allows one to use various creatures as familiars. Caster's expertise not only allows her to use any animal she wishes as a familiar, but also mutate them to a limited degree.

Homunculi Creation A
Represents one's skill at creating artificial humans. Caster is one of the greatest masters of the art, capable of crafting constructs oftentimes superior to the base material. Given enough time and resources, Caster is capable of creating a veritable army.

Magecraft A
Knowledge of modern Thaumaturgy. Caster can safely be considered absolute mistress of magecraft, having mastered various areas during her long life.

Noble Phantasms
Fate Morgana "Realm Where Doom is Wrought" A
Type: Fortress
Morgan's realm, a gloomy castle surrounded by dark forest. Noble Phantasm, that is incredibly time consuming to prepare, as Caster has to layer bounded fields upon bounded fields on large area, although process can be accelerated, if chosen area has any kind of large scale building on it. Upon activation, Caster summons her fortress, Fate Morgana, into the world once more. It is surrounded by a forest corrupted by her magecraft and filled with monstrous animals warped by her magic and lesser Monstrous Beasts. True value of the fortress however, lies inside, within its laboratories and forges, in which Caster can accelerate process of creating homunculi.

Once set up, Fate Morgana latches onto local laylines, becoming independent of Caster's prana.

Project Mordred "The Ultimate Tool of Revenge" A
Type: Unknown/Thaumaturgy
Once Fate Morgana is set up, Caster can devote all her time and resources into recreating her crowning achievement as homunculi crafter - perfect clone of Servant-level being. Caster can change the outcome by taking hold of summon catalysts of Servants or even, if she somehow manages it, on samples of actually summoned ones, to craft a being, that perfectly mirrors their abilities and Class. If none of those are available, Caster will just resort to her last project, a Saber-level homunculus.

Extremely risky Noble Phantasm, as for its long duration (depending on replicated being, up to nine days), Caster is completely incapable of defending herself, and as such, a tempting target for her enemies. If she decides to use it, she will first create greater number of lesser homunculi to serve as her bodyguards, generally avoiding all conflict until she is ready.


And that's that. This next third-or-so of the fanfic will focus on other things than Caster now that she's dead. For example, Louis' desire for revenge on Assassin of Alpha will get a significant amount of focus. Ada will side with the Alpha faction and we'll get to see how her relationship with Emily plays out after being separate for a year. I'll also resolve Dario's character arc involving his jealousy for his brother. How Marcus and Ian will deal with Ian's deadbeat dad Harry coming back all of a sudden will be a major plot point. And last, but most certainly not least, we'll see how Ian deals with the psychotic tendencies he inherited from his mother.

Anyway, after this chapter and one or two more, characters will start dropping like flies until it's just a few of the characters left in the ring. I originally planned to have Berserker of Alpha get killed off, but decided against it because of two reasons; I am just having so much fun writing him and it may be too soon to take out the Alpha faction's muscle because I have...special things planned. I also planned to kill Ada and Fake!Mordred off, but decided that they needed more character development.

I refuse to divulge any information concerning my plans. And no one ask anything about the organization that was led by the previous War's Caster. That is a major spoiler for the prequel.

Now for reviews.

ZenoZen: The prequel will come eventually, but soon might be the best way to describe it. And as you can see, Caster is now dead.

Okay, that's it for now. Leave a review. Constructive criticism will be accepted. Flames will be used to make s'mores. See ya!
