A/N: Here.

Because everyone was clamoring for it after I updated Jester, and Berserker and Lancer aren't quite ready yet.

As per the title is brief glimpse, a preview of THE TRUE VILLAIN the one who's silently been orchestrating everything in the Unlikely series; an individual who reared their head in A Most Unlikely Jester. To clarify, he's the bastard pulling the strings, orchestrating the events that gave rise to each and every Servant!Naruto as well as every Master!Naruto we've seen thus far.

Have a little glimpse of him, before he gets his debut in his own story.

His arrival is...well. Lets just say that its imminent. He'll appear again in A Most Unlikely Shielder.

Unlike Beast, he's frightfully sane.

As to his motives...you'll see.

*EDIT*

Everybody enjoying the FGO Halloween event? I certainly am!

Sadly, I couldn't afford to wait anymore with the 25th rapidly approaching, so I finally used my free four star ticket. Say hello to Gorgon, ladies and gentlemen! Of course, it helps that the Halloween event allows you to get Serpent Jewels really freaking easy and all that, but still! I can roll for Nitocris later, I suppose. That banner's gonna be around for awhile. And now, before anyone asks, I don't want the Extra version of Vlad. Never really liked him. Gorgon's already at her first ascension now~!

*EDIT*EDIT*

As of this edit I just got spooked by Cleopatra using my free summon ticket. No rainbow sparks or anything, just a gold assassin card, and right when I figured it was simply another Stheno...so came the spook! Why do I keep getting Servants that I don't expect?! I wasn't even trying to roll for her on that banner, I was going for Nitocris, so used it right after midnight on a whim! GACHA BANZAI! BANZAI~! I don't know what I did to deserve this kind of luck, but I'm so happy! Why do I keep getting Five Stars from this banner?! Eh!? Oi!

Anyhow, I'm off to work again, so I apologize for that.

So I'm sorry if this introduction is short.

Fourth wall breaks ahoy~!

Hope ya enjoy~!

"It begins with one, and ends with one.

There's a certain irony in that, don't you agree?

Then, when all's said and done, this will end...with me."

A Most Unlikely Glimpse

Well, well, well.

Looks like the old worm has been laid to rest, eh?

Rather handily at that. Seems my warning did him little good.

That's not surprising.; in all my calculations, in every outcome Matou Zouken has only ever succeeded once. One time. Thousands of battles, and only a single victory to show for it, in a lone rotten world. Hmm. I may have to go and "trim" that universe, actually. I despite any scenario where Zouken seizes the Holy Grail for himself. It always ends badly, but in a world where he actually wins...no. We can't have that. There can't be a clear cut winner yet; not before everyone meets.

Still, I didn't expect Jester to take that failed girl under his wing.

I almost thought he'd kill her; put her out of her misery. Not that I'm dissapointed, mind you. It just goes to show that even now, I'm still not omniscient. Life-they!-can still surprise me. Jester was always an anomaly, a miscalculation on my part. In that world, I didn't have to interfere at all. He was born, lived, died, and went to the Throne of Heroes entirely of his own doing. All because of this "Sans" creature. Who was he? Where did he come from? I don't know. Not even Jester does, not really. Is it possible for entities from other worlds to cross over with our own? If so, that would be...fascinating.

My vision may extend to worlds I'm aware of, but beyond that, nothing.

Still! This is wonderful! It means my experiment was a success!

I haven't been this pleased since the Big Three.

Berserker.

Assassin.

Caster.

The Original Trio, the ones who started it all. Their journeys are nearly over now.

As for the others...well.

I can see the rest of my brothers-and the odd sister here and there-branching out now. All but two have been summoned. Some are fighting for a Holy Grail of their own, in wars great and small. Others have started wars of their own. Some seek to protect. Others to avenge. Some cling to their realms, or their faltering beliefs. Others remain hell-bent on destruction. Some refused to fight. Some refused to hurt. Some had to be culled, for the greater good. Some had to be pushed into it. Like King and Drifter. All it took was a little...nudge on the forces of the world, a few bad dreams here and there, and they unwittingly did my bidding.

Speaking of bidding, I may have to pay Beast a...visit.

He's become a tad too aggressive, you see; we can't let him upset the balance just yet.

It would be such a SHAME if something were to happen to those poor unfortunate souls, don't you think?

Beast. Bah. Even his given title is a farce. He's no true Beast, though he thinks himself such. The True Beast would shatter his very soul. What a shame. I didn't even have to goad that false creature into doing what he did. It truly was just a horrible misunderstanding. That one had so much...potential, instead he squanders it hunting down his other selves. More often than not he loses, too. Bites off more than he can chew. An adequate distraction perhaps while I arrange the pieces on the board, but he may have outlived his usefulness.

None of them are aware of me, none of them know I exist.

Well. Its high time I changed that, don't you think?

And wouldn't you know it? I know just where to start. With a shield. I don't know why, but that purity of his...irks me, somehow. Perhaps he reminds me of what I once was, what I used to be. Before I became this. That one's just as bad as Saver, but at least Saver went and got himself laid. Shielder...pure bastard that he is, reminds me of glass. Like Temptress. Clever of Beast, to cut her out of him. But he made a mistake. In removing the "good" in him, he created something different. Something...new. One good hard smack in the ideals and she might break. Or she might grow as a person and reforge herself into a being truly worthy of pursuing. Who knows?

The potential there...excites me, but no. Shielder first.

A man must show restraint, after all.

Oh, dear. My family's calling me.

Is it time for dinner already?

I'll see you soon.

A/N: Clarification!

You may like the True Threat.

Or you may hate his guts. Time will tell, I suppose.

Its strongly hinted that he has a family of his own, as well.

I wouldn't put the True Threat at Solomon level strength-no clairvoyance for him!-but he is wickedly strong. He's strong enough to give a Grand Servant a run for their money. As to why he's doing all this, well. That'll be revealed in time. I wouldn't call him chaotic evil, but neither good he be considered lawful good either. He simpy...is. He isn't the Prime Naruto-you'll see who that is-but he's not above finding that one and ending him if he steps out of line.

Reviews are love, Reviews are life, Reviews keep me alive.

So In the Immortal Words of Atlas...Review Would You Kindly? Every word helps. Even a single word like "nice" means the world to me.

Fine, just one preview.

For the PRIME Naruto, strongest of the bunch.

Fair warning, I'm trying a different style here for this preview...

(Preview)

Hello, there.

Now, now, don't touch that dial~!

You'll be back to your regularly scheduled program in just minute; all I ask is for a moment of your time. You see, I've brought you here for a reason; because I wanted to have a have a chat with you. You've been following this series for quite some time, haven't you? Forgive me if I've made a mistake. If you're new to this, or simply lost your way, then by all means come in. Sit down by the fire, warm your feet. Let me get you something to drink. No doubt you have questions. I'm sure you're wondering where all this started. Well, then.

Suppose its about time you heard MY story.

So by all means, sit. Listen.

Its quite the tale...
