Maiya watched Saber and Irisviel have fun from within her car. She made sure to follow roughly fifteen meters behind them so that they wouldn't notice. But even from that distance, her black eyes were trained on the two women like a hawk. Though this wasn't done out of malice…
… This was just an order given to her by her Master.
A few hours earlier…
Once she got the notification from Kiritsugu, Maiya made sure to board the next available flight to Fuyuki. This meant that she had arrived several hours before Saber and Irisviel did. However, just as soon as made her way into the city…
… there was nothing but chaos.
'Ah!' Maiya gasped as she noticed all the destroyed buildings in her path. The amount of destruction seemed endless. It was as if a bomb went off. Maiya did not know what happened. However…
… it only brought back painful memories.
'GO SOLDIER! MOVE! MOVE!' The words of her commanding officer made her get out of the car as if she was in a trance. She left the keys in the car but made sure to bring the black briefcase with her.
'Step! Step! Step! Step! Step!' Maiya began to sprint throughout the streets as civilians passed by her. This resulted in her accidentally bumping into a man.
"Ow! Watch where you're going!" A man spoke as he grabbed Maiya's shoulder to get her attention. But all he saw was…
… Her black eyes, were full of nothing but murderous intent.
"Ah!" The man gasped as he instinctively let go of Maiya out of fear for his own life. Maiya then continued sprinting until she reached the exact hotel that Kiritsugu told her to meet up at. It was a cheap-looking place that looked like it could collapse at any moment.
Kiritsugu had let her know that his room was located on the second floor as well as the room number too. With this knowledge, Maiya ran up the stairs as fast as she could and reached the room that he was supposed to be in.
"… Hah… hah… hah…" Maiya breathed in and out in order to calm her nerves. And then…
'Knock. Knock. Knock.' She knocked three times which was the signal for Kiritsugu to let her inside.
'Clink. Clink. Clink.' The locks of the door clinked for a few seconds until-
'Creak.' The door slowly creaked open as Maiya went inside and made sure that the coast was clear before closing the door. She then turned around and saw the face of the man that she had not seen in a very long time.
"It's been a while." Kiritsugu spoke.
"Nine years." Maiya replied as sweat dripped down her forehead. Kiritsugu noticed this and approached her.
"You're sweating. Are you feeling alright?" Kiritsugu asked as he brushed sweat from Maiya's forehead with his hand. This resulted in her face becoming slightly red.
"I-I'm fine. There were so many buildings in shambles that I… thought something bad happened. I thought… something happened to- Maiya spoke but she was cut off by Kiritsugu.
"You don't need to worry about me. I don't plan on dying anytime soon. So… focus on your well-being." Kiritsugu spoke as he gave Maiya a gentle smile.
"…" Maiya silently nodded with a smile. Kiritsugu then extended her hand toward Maiya as she gave him the briefcase. Kiritsugu grasped the briefcase and unlocked it.
'Clink.' The briefcase opened and Kiritsugu examined the contents of it. There were firearms such as the submachine gun, Calico M950, and the sniping rifle, Walther WA2000 as well as several kinds of grenades. But the weapon that Kiritsugu took out first was the most important of all…
… The Thompson Contender. In contrast to his other weapons that could be acquired with money, this weapon was not something you could find anywhere else on the planet. A weapon that utilized Kiritsugu's Origin to the fullest and allowed him to destroy the Magic Circuits of many Mages earning him the nickname 'Magus Killer.'
'Clink.' Kiritsugu unloaded and reloaded the Thompson Contender which was 444 mm long and weighed 2060g in five seconds flat.
"Damn. I'm rusty." Kritisugu admitted as he used to be able to perform that action in three seconds.
"Nine years is a long time. A lot can happen in just a few minutes." Maiya spoke seductively as touched Kiritsugu's chest.
"Maiya… hah… I'm married… hah… I have a daughter for crying out loud." Kiritsugu replied but he couldn't hide the grunts of pleasure that escaped his mouth as Maiya touched him in his most vital areas.
"It's been so long since I felt you… since we've been one… I missed that feeling. Just grant my selfish request… please." Maiya whispered into his ear as she unbuttoned Kiritsugu's pants. Kritisugu couldn't hold himself back anymore as he let his lust take over as he lightly pushed Maiya onto the bed.
"…" Maiya and Kiritsugu shared a deep kiss as they were finally reunited after nine long years in more ways than one.
'Slap!' Kayneth slapped Kyoko across the cheek so hard that it left a bruise.
"Dear! Calm down! She's just a chil- Sola-Ui spoke but she was cut off by her husband.
"YOU SHUT THE HELL UP!" Kayneth snapped back with the fury of a demon. Sola-Ui remained silent as she knew that there was nothing that she could do to quell her husband's anger.
"Now, where were we? Why did you even consider the notion that I would be fine with you leaving this building without my permission, Servant?" Kayneth asked Kyoko as the latter looked down and avoided eye contact. This irritated Kayneth to no end.
"Look at me when I'm talking to you!" Kayneth commanded as he grasped Kyoko's neck and forcefully tilted her neck upwards. They then glared at each other with daggers.
"If you were killed then my chances of obtaining the Grail would go down the drain! You know how embarrassing it would be if a Lord of the Clock Tower came back empty-handed?!" Kayneth asked a rhetorical question.
"Gee, how would I know? I'm not some boujee asshat like you." Kyoko replied. But not even a second later-
'BAM! BAM! BAM!' Kayneth slugged Kyoko in the face again and again all the while the latter didn't move an inch. It was so painful to watch for Sola-Ui that she covered her mouth and faced the wall out of shame.
'Drip. Drip. Drip.' Blood dripped from Kyoko's nose as she tilted her head upward and smirked.
"Is that the best you've got?" Kyoko asked.
"No. This is…" Kayneth spoke as he grabbed a small bottle and poured out the contents of it.
"… Volumen Hydragyrum." Kayneth finished as the silver liquid formed into a tentacle.
'BAM!' The tentacle hit against Kyoko's solar plexus.
"BLAUUUGH!" Kyoko coughed up blood as she fell onto the floor. Kayneth then approached her and lifted her up by the neck.
"You know, if you wanted to go out there and get yourself killed…" Kayneth spoke as he lifted the girl into the air with a single hand. And then…
"… THEN PERHAPS I'LL GRANT YOUR WISH!" Kayneth yelled out as he threw Kyoko's body against the nearby wall. There was a shelve against the wall so when her body collided with it, it caused a chain reaction that made-
'CRACK! CRACK! CRACK!' Several glass vases fell onto Kyoko and broke into pieces after hitting her head.
"Hmph." Kayneth muttered with a smile as he looked down toward his hand and noticed that there was blood on it. He deduced that his Servant's blood must have made contact with him when he was pummeling her nonstop.
"Tch. I going to go wash my hands." Kayneth announced as he clicked his tongue and left the room. Once the coast was clear, Sola-Ui hurried over to Kyoko.
"Let me help you up." Sola-Ui spoke as she extended her hand toward Kyoko.
"I'm fine." Kyoko replied as she stood up all on her own. She then walked past Sola-Ui while limping a bit. Sola-Ui noticed that and grasped her right shoulder.
"You can stop with the tough act already." Sola-Ui spoke.
"I'm not some child. So, stop pitying me." Kyoko snapped back.
"Even so… I doubt even a Servant can walk away after being hit that hard. Let me heal you." Sola-Ui replied but Kyoko was reaching her boiling point.
"I SAID ENOUGH WITH THE PITY!" Kyoko yelled out at the top of her lungs as she slapped Sola-Ui's hand from her shoulder and turned around to notice-
"Ah!" Kyoko gasped as she noticed Sola-Ui's eyes which were swollen and bloodshot after crying so much.
"Please. Just let me do this for you." Sola-Ui pleaded.
"Tch…" Kyoko clicked her tongue and a few seconds later-
"… Make it quick. I don't like sitting around for a while." Kyoko finished as she sat onto the floor.
"Thank you." Sola-Ui spoke as she sat down next to Kyoko.
"Lift up your dress a bit." Sola-Ui instructed.
"Fine." Kyoko replied as she begrudgingly lifted up her maroon dress just enough so that her solar plexus was exposed. Sola-Ui examined it and noticed that it was purple after being bruised by Kayneth's Volumen Hydragyrum. And then…
'Poke.' Sola-Ui poked it.
"GAH! D-Don't do that!" Kyoko yelled out.
"I knew it. Haha." Sola-Ui spoke as she laughed a bit.
"W-What are you so giddy about?!" Kyoko shouted.
"I'm sorry. I'm just relieved to know that even a Servant can be hurt." Sola-Ui replied.
"So what? You do realize that everything experiences pain at one point or another, right?" Kyoko asked.
"Of course." Sola-Ui replied while putting her left hand near Kyoko's wound as it started glowing.
"What do you think of pain?" Sola-Ui asked.
"I hate it. I mean doesn't everybody hate being in pain?" Kyoko asked.
"Not me." Sola-Ui replied with a smile.
"A-Are you a masochist or something?" Kyoko asked with a bewildered expression.
"I never said I like pain. But try looking at it this way. Pain affects all living beings. That feeling is inevitable that not even a God can escape it. So, whether you're a child or not doesn't matter…" Sola-Ui spoke but paused for a few seconds until-
"… Pain reminds us that we're alive. That's not something to be ashamed of." Sola-Ui finished with a gentle smile. Kyoko was speechless and didn't know how to respond to that when her wound was suddenly healed. Just then, Kayneth walked back into the room and noticed both girls on the floor.
"Sola, what are you doing on the floor with that Servant?" Kayneth asked.
"We were just talking a bit." Sola-Ui replied as she stood up.
"You shouldn't belittle yourself by talking with such a lowly being." Kayneth spoke harshly.
"I'm just doing what I want, darling." Sola-Ui replied.
"Hmph. Well, if you want to waste your time by doing something so trivial be my guest." Kayneth replied as he took his focus off of his wife and onto the Servant beside her.
"Servant. Come with me." Kayneth demanded. Kyoko did just that as she stood up and approached him. Sola-Ui realized that she hadn't fully healed Kyoko of her injuries. Sola-Ui was about to call out to her when-
"I'm so stoked to kick some ass! After all, I'm still alive. So, I might as well enjoy it to the fullest!" Kyoko spoke with a smirk to Kayneth. But the person she was truly speaking to should be obvious. Sola-Ui smiled to herself.
"That you are. So, you better not disappoint me." Kayneth replied as he started walking out of the room with Kyoko following behind him.
"You'll see that I'm full of surprises! Hahaha." Kyoko laughed with a grin on her face.
We now return to the Fuyuki warehouse area as Saber and Kyoko were in battle positions. They were waiting to see who would make the first move. Irisviel could feel the tension in the air as the two Servants stared at each other with killing intent.
"Judging by your weapon, you must be Lancer?" Saber asked.
"No shit, captain obvious. What else do I look like?" Kyoko asked.
"An unusual servant I say. I didn't expect to see my opponent be this young, much less a Servant in a Holy Grail War." Saber replied.
"ENOUGH WITH CALLIN ME A CHILD ALREADY!" Kyoko yelled out at the top of her lungs as she leaped into the air!
"TAKE THIS!" Kyoko yelled out as she stuck out her right leg and was about to slam it into the knight's face! However, Saber noticed this.
"You really such a predictable attack will work on me, Lancer?" Saber asked as she focused all of her attention on the incoming Lancer. However…
… This meant that her focus was away from Kyoko's true attack!
"SABER! BELOW YOU!" Irisviel yelled out.
"AH!" Saber gasped as looked down and noticed…
… THE GOLDEN LANCE HEADING STRAIGHT FOR HER!
'S-Such speed!' Saber thought internally as she dodged the attack. But this meant that she was in range for-
'BAM!' KYOKO'S FOOT THAT DROVE RIGHT INTO SABER'S FACE!
"AND NOW FOR THIS!" Kyoko yelled out as her golden lance swung back around as its chains…
… COMPLETELY WRAPPED AROUND SABER!
"Hahaha." Kyoko laughed as she landed back onto the ground.
"Who's a child now?" Kyoko asked with a smirk.
"It seems that I have underestimated you. Such a thing…" Saber spoke but paused for a few seconds until-
"… Won't happen again." Saber finished as she glared at Kyoko.
"Ha! You're right! Because I'm about to finish you off Saber!" Kyoko declared as she tightened the chains of her lance around Saber!
'CRACK! CRACK! CRACK!' The metal chains dug into Saber's armor chipping at it bit by bit! But then…
'Step! Step! Step! Step! Step! Step! Step! Step! Step! Step!' Saber sped toward Lancer!
"Nice try! But that won't work!" Kyoko yelled out at the incoming Saber. This was true. The golden lance that Kyoko uses has a special attribute where the closer in proximity you are to her, the effect of the chains increases! This guaranteed that…
'CRACK!' SABER'S ARMOR WOULD BREAK TO PIECES! However, as her armor broke completely…
'BAM!' Saber used all of her strength in her feet to kick a piece of the ground right at Lancer!
"W-What?!" Kyoko yelled out as she leaped into the air to dodge the piece of earth that was coming right at her! But this was Saber's intention.
"RRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Saber roared at the top of her lungs as she used the chains of the lance against Kyoko…
… AND PULLED HER RIGHT BACK DOWN TO THE GROUND!
"GAH!" Kyoko groaned in pain as she coughed up blood. This made her unintentionally loosen her grip on the lance as…
'BAM!' Saber broke free from her grasp!
"Not bad. Maybe I underestimated ya a bit too." Kyoko admitted.
"An extendable spear. I must admit, I did not expect that." Saber admitted as she threw the chains of the golden spear back at Kyoko with her left hand while wiping the blood from her lips caused by her enemy's kick with her right.
"I did not expect that ya would kick a piece of the ground at me. What the hell are ya? A Berserker?! And where the hell is that weapon of yours, huh?!" Kyoko yelled out while retracting her spear.
"My weapon is concealed. It could be a mace. Perhaps even an axe. Either way, I might very well be Berserker." Saber responded with a smirk.
"You're startin to really piss me off with cocky attitude of yours. Guess I'll…" Kyoko spoke as she made a combat stance. And then…
"… FIND OUT THEN!" Kyoko declared as she resumed her fight with Saber.
"So, this is the power of a Servant." Kiritsugu muttered to himself as he was watching the battle unfold through the scope of his Walther WA2000 on top of one of the huge stacks of ship containers.
On the other hand, Maiya was in a different part of the warehouse area, watching the battle from a different angle. She had her own sniper rifle, ready to kill any master who shows up.
"Have you spotted Lancer's master yet Maiya?" Kiritsugu asked through his comm piece.
"No. However, I have spotted something that might concern you." Maiya responded firmly.
Kiritsugu turned his rifle in the direction that Maiya is positioned in. He sees the thing that Maiya was talking about. However, he couldn't believe what he was seeing. It was something so out of place that he didn't even know how to respond until-
"Is that an American Semi Truck? What is one doing in Fuyuki?" Kiritsugu muttered to no one in particular as he stared at the red truck with blue flames below him. But then…
'VROOOM! VROOOM! VROOOM!' The truck's engine roared very loudly.
"Eh? Where the hell is that noise comin from?!" Kyoko yelled out as she covered her ears and looked toward the source of the noise approximately fifty meters away and steadily approaching at an alarming rate.
'VROOOM! VROOOM! VROOOM!' Saber tilted her head to the side as she silently watched the truck move closer to her location as the engine roared through the night.
'Ah!' Irisviel gasped while covering her ears. For her, the noise was so ear-piercingly loud that it felt like her ears would bleed from it any second now. Saber noticed this. And then…
'BAM!' She stabbed her invisible sword into the ground.
"Enough! You've long since made your presence clear! If you intend to fight…" Saber spoke as she lifted her sword into air and-
"… THEN COME AT ME ALREADY!" Saber finished with a shout as the noise of the truck subsided. The truck made its way into the battleground while Irisviel moved back to make space for it as well as to get a full view of the truck along with everyone else.
"Who's in the truck Maiya?" Kiritsugu asked as he couldn't make out the person inside of the truck with his binoculars. But suddenly…
'Creak.' The door on the passenger side of the truck opens and a young (presumably European) man comes out of it, revealing his face to everyone watching these events unfold.
"So, you really are a Master." Kyoko spoke with a serious expression.
"Yes, I am." Waver proudly declares with a fist on his chest. He then takes a few steps back away from the truck, knowing what will happen.
"And you know that I'm not going to hold back… even against someone like you." Kyoko continued as Waver stopped in place.
"Then that makes two of us." Waver replied with resolve in his voice.
"HAHAHAHAHA!" Kyoko bursts out laughing until-
"… You've really grown a pair." Kyoko replied with a smirk as Waver face becomes bright red.
"It seems that my Master has become embarrassed." Optimus commented.
"Shut up, Rider." Waver replied as sweat dripped from his face profusely.
"Other than the boy, no one else is in the truck. Although, it appears that Lancer and the boy have a shared history." Maiya informed Kiritsugu through her own comm piece.
Kiritsugu aimed his rifle at the truck to get a closer look. Through his scope, he could see that there was in fact no one in the driver's seat. This confused him because the truck engine was clearly still running.
'There is no way that truck is operating by itself. Unless…' Kiritsugu thought to himself.
"Irisviel, if my ears aren't playing tricks on me, then I just heard that truck respond to the boy. And if I'm correct, then that truck must be a-" Saber spoke but couldn't finish her sentence as the truck's door suddenly slammed shut. And then…
'CLANK! CLANK! CLANK! CLANK! CLANK!' Suddenly parts of the truck started to rearrange and shift. The parts kept moving around until they were arranged into a humanoid shape.
Kiritsugu eyes shot open as he couldn't believe what he was watching. The same could be said for everyone else excluding Saber and Waver as the truck literally transformed into a robot. No one could have possibly imagined that the grail would allow robots into the war.
"Is that a robot from a fucking mech anime?! Since when did a robot ever fight for humanity?!" Lancer shouted. But she would get her answer as the robot started to speak.
"I am Optimus Prime, leader of the Autobots and the Rider of this Grail war." Optimus announced with a stoic voice. Saber could definitely tell that the robot was a military leader of some kind judging by his voice. She knew what a war veteran sounded like.
"Rider! You were not supposed to give away your true name! You just gave our enemies an advantage!" Waver yelled out. By his tone of voice, it was easy for Optimus to tell that the young man was displeased.
"I disagree. Them knowing my name will strike fear in their hearts. Few would dare challenge a Prime like myself. Such an act would guarantee their demise." Optimus responded.
"Yeah. I have no idea who the hell you are." Kyoko bluntly announced.
"The same would go for me. The name 'Prime' rings some bells but I have yet to hear of one with the name 'Optimus.' And if you are the leader of the Autobots…" Saber spoke but paused for a second as she aimed her invisible sword forward until-
"… You will not defeat me." Saber declared as she glared at the robot a few meters away from her.
"I see that I was mistaken." Optimus spoke.
"Really? I think you did a good job making them fear you." Waver replied with a smirk.
"I do not appreciate your sarcasm, Master." Optimus replied.
Even though he couldn't hear their conversation, Kiritsugu could immediately tell that the young man was the master of the robot judging by their interaction.
"Maiya, the young boy is the master of Rider. Shoot him if Rider poses a threat to Saber." Kiritsugu spoke through his ear comm.
"Got it." Maiya responded as she stared at Waver with her unforgiving black eyes through the sniper rifle's scope. However, another guest was about to make themselves known to everyone on the battlefield…
"Hahaha…" Laughter echoed throughout the Warehouse area as everyone turned toward the source of the unpleasant noise.
'Tch. What the hell is he doin laughin up there?' Kyoko thought internally as her eyes noticed her Master standing on top of one of the large shipping containers with a grin on his face. He wasn't looking at her, instead another person. That's when Kyoko realized that he was laughing at someone.
"… You have got to be joking. You dare show your face knowing full well that your lack of talent is going to be your downfall… Waver Velvet." Kayneth finished as he glared daggers at his student as the latter froze in fear.
'M-Maybe I was wrong.' Kyoko thought internally as sweat dripped from her face profusely.
"W-W-Why are you here?!" Waver yelled out as he was shaking uncontrollably while his teeth chattered. To say that he was scared would be an understatement. He was terrified at the thought of fighting against the 'Lord El-Melloi' one of the most powerful Magi in the entire Clock Tower if not the entire world. There was no way a normal Mage still learning the ropes…
… Can possibly compare himself to a superhuman among Mages.
"Oh please. I noticed that my catalyst was stolen. But I never imagined it would be you to steal it Waver. You should be proud since it looks like you got a powerful servant while I'm stuck with a middle schooler with an eating disorder." Kayneth complained as he turned his attention to Kyoko.
"Tch." Kyoko gripped her spear tightly when she heard that last comment. She clearly did not like it and Waver noticed this.
"How dare you…" Waver spoke.
"What? Did I touch a nerve? Surely even you wouldn't give a damn about that pathetic and worthless child who's bound to be the first one to get killed at this rate. If only you didn't steal what was rightfully mine…" Kayneth spoke but paused for a few seconds until-
"… I WOULDN'T BE STUCK WITH THIS FUCKING EMBARRASSMENT!" Kayneth yelled out at the top of his lungs.
'Drip. Drip. Drip.' All of these insults made Kyoko bite her lip so hard that it bled. Waver noticed this too and that was the last straw.
"Shut up." Waver spoke.
"What was that?" Kayneth replied with a furrow of his brow.
"I said shut up! How dare you insult her! She has risked her life in this war for you! She even risked her life to save some sorry excuse for a Mage like me! If you can't notice her strength…" Waver snapped back but paused for a few seconds until-
"… THEN YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO CALL YOURSELF A MASTER!" Waver yelled out at the top of his lungs.
"…" Everyone was speechless after hearing the young man's words. Especially Kyoko and Kayneth. While the former was in awe over the words that defended her…
… The latter was disgusted to see that one of his students could be so arrogant.
"Hmm. I think this war will be an excellent chance to show you how real mages operate. Maybe you will reconsider that idiotic thesis of yours and accept the truth like the rest of your fellow classmates." Kayneth spoke in an arrogant tone.
"That's enough insulting my Master. Judging by your character, the organization you are part of must be filled with nepotism and bureaucracy. From my experience, corrupt bureaucrats like you are how nations destroy themselves." Optimus intervened.
"Hmph!" Kayneth scoffed in disgust as he didn't like being talked back by a servant. But Optimus wasn't done.
"He might have not been the first person I would have wanted as my Master. But he's not completely worthless. I'd much rather have an idiot who is willing to go on the frontlines to achieve his goal…" Optimus admitted but paused for a few seconds until-
"… compared to someone like you who sulks in the darkness and has a human youngling do your dirty work." Optimus finished as he glared daggers at the blonde man overlooking him.
'W-Was that a compliment?' Waver thought internally as sweat dripped off his face profusely.
"I now see that you two are a match made in heaven. Perhaps, that's where you'll both go when you perish by my hands." Kayneth replied. He had not felt so insulted for the first time in his life. Both his student and the robot's words infuriated him to no end. He could not let a Mage lesser in quality and quantity of Magic Circuits insult him…
… Much less the Servant that was supposed to be his to control.
"Lancer. Kill that weakling who doesn't know his place." Kayneth commanded as he glared daggers at Waver.
"… I… I…" Kyoko stuttered as she gripped her lance tightly.
'THUMP! THUMP! THUMP!' The girl's heart was beating to no end in sight.
'And you know that I'm not going to hold back… even against someone like you.' Kyoko had already stated that she wouldn't hold back against him. She was fully prepared to kill whoever was in her way of obtaining the grail. Because if she died…
… Then her wish will die with her. Even still…
"… I… refuse. I refuse… to kill him." Kyoko declared with a face that was bright red while she gripped the hems of her skirt tightly. Waver was dumbfounded that she would go back on her word. However, Kayneth realized very quickly of the girl's feelings toward his student.
"I see. It appears that you have grown fond of that weakling. So much so that you would even defy a direct order from your Master. You know, we could have done this the easy way…" Kayneth spoke with a smirk but paused for a second until-
"… But I guess we have to do this the hard way." Kayneth finished as he glared daggers at his Servant.
"By my Command Spell…" Kayneth spoke as his hand flashed bright red.
"No Master! I beg of you! Don't make me do this! Let me kill that knight! Or the robot! Or anyone else! But not him! Anyone but him!" Kyoko shouted while bowing toward Kayneth. But her begging…
… Would not stop her Master.
"… I ORDER YOU TO KILL WAVER VELVET!" Kayneth declared as another of his Command Spells vanished without a trace, leaving him with only one remaining Command Spell. He already decided to use it on his Servant at the end of the war to obtain the Grail for himself and himself only.
"… Run." Kyoko spoke as she stood up against her own wishes. Due to the Command Spell, her body disobeyed her completely to the point that it was entering a combat stance as her mind rejected that notion to no end. Waver noticed this.
"I won't run away. I have long since decided to never run away again…" Waver spoke as he looked at Kyoko. He knew that she was in pain. Even someone oblivious to other people's feelings could understand that much. Even still he-
"… Do your worst." Waver finished as he stood behind Optimus.
"… You…" Kyoko muttered as she gritted her teeth. And then…
"… YOU STUPID IDIOT!" Kyoko yelled out at the top of her lungs as she leaped into the air.
"… Master. Do not move. I will decapitate this child." Optimus declared as he focused on the enemy coming right at him!
"CAN EVERYONE STOP CALLIN ME A FUCKIN CHILD ALREADY!" Kyoko shouted as she was about to engage in battle with Optimus as the second battle of the fourth Holy Grail War continues.
Episode 3: Spearhead
