The group walked along the roads of the city with the twins on either side of Mash and Ari. Gudako hummed softly to herself as the sound of flickering fire filled their ears. Ghost hovered over Mash's shoulder.

"So, I don't think I ever got your name," Ghost said in a mildly curious manner.

"Oh, sorry, I am Mash," Mash responded somewhat surprised. She must've forgotten to introduce herself when she was talking to them earlier.

"It's fine, I was just curious." Ghost stated with a hum. "I overheard that you were a Demi-Servant, which if I heard correctly means you are part human?"

"That is correct," She answered the Ghost kindly. She noticed a slight hint of confusion in Ghost's singular eye.

"So do you have a Noble Phantasm, like Ari's Vexcalibur," Ghost asked, which caused Mash to gain a sad look?

"I don't know. The Servant that gave me these powers never told me their name," Mash admitted with a slight whimper in her voice. "Without a proper name, it's difficult to activate a Noble Phantasm."

Gudako leaned forward, directly next to Mash with a smile. "We could always help you figure it out."

Ritsuka quickly joined in leaning in front of Ari. "Yeah, plus maybe you have a cool one!"

Ari laughed a bit to herself. "You know you remind me a lot of a Titan, going in throwing their Void shields around the place, bonking-" Ari cut herself off from the word she just used. "Bonking... That's a new word. Anyway, if you want I can teach you a bit of what I know."

Mash gave the group a smile, her heart warmed by their willingness to help her. She was more than confused about what Ari was talking about but the sentiment was still there.

Ghost turned to Ari, moving to hover over the Warlock's shoulder. "Did we ever explain the classes to them?"

Ari's eyes widened briefly before changing into a laugh. "I don't think we did. However you never really explained it to me either until after we brought back the Last Array."

The ghost looked away from the guardian with a sigh. "Touchè."

The twins looked at each other and then at the two supposedly from the future. "What are you talking about?" Ritsuka asked with an eyebrow raised.

Ari laughed a bit. "So the Vanguard is separated into three branches or classes if you would."

Mash looked at Ari with curiosity in her eyes, with almost excitement behind them. "You said you remind me of a Titan, is that one of the classes?"

Ari nodded and was about to explain when Ghost cut her off. "Yes, they were bulky armor and like to get close and personal. Though Ari was referring specifically to those who use the Ward of Dawn." This earned more confused looks from the team.

Ghost let out a sigh as Gudako broke out into a chuckle. "You know I still can't believe you are from the future," Ritsuka stated.

"You believed we went to space," Ari responded much to Ritsuka's dismay. His lips bent into a frown which caused his sister to giggle.

"I thought it was normal at first at least in this abnormal world," Ritsuka groaned.

"But it's still funny," Gudako chirped causing Ritsuka to slouch

"Can you please stop embarrassing Senpai," Mash requested receiving some laughs from the red-head and the blonde.


Olga and Cu walked behind the four-five if you count Ghost. Olga sighed as they continued to walk past the rubble and shattered concrete. Her pale white hair blew slightly amount the occasional soft breeze. She felt a curious growing dread in guilt beneath her pale skin.

"You know they are right, the girl needs some training," Cu blurted earning a look from the director.

"What are you talking about?" Olga asked the Caster in surprise.

"If you were paying attention, the pink lass stated it herself, plus the fact she doesn't even know what her own Noble Phantasm is," Cu explained, which earned a glare from Olga, whose golden eyes pierced him.

"Her name is Mash," she muttered to herself. "You have no right talking about my employees if you don't even know their names, let alone haven't even formed a contract with one of them."

Cu rolled his eyes with a laugh, staring off into the distance. "I get your point, but I don't want to make a contract with a Master that just gets themselves killed." Cu sighed. "The blonde one, Ari -I think that's her name- has potential and the skill to match, but Mash lacks that."

"You want to train her, then you will forge a contract with one of the masters?" Olga asked the Celt who nodded. She let out a long sigh looking at them. "How would you do that?"

"With a simple sparring match," Cu answered, earning a nod from the pale director. "Though I must ask, did you notice anything odd about your Lancer?"Olga gave the Caster a deadpanned look. "No, I've obviously seen a glowing blue spear and seen aliens as servants before," she began in a very sarcastic manner before the facade faded. "Of course, I noticed something odd about her!"

Caster flinched and began to clean, put his ear. "No need to be so loud. Anyway, I meant her Noble Phantasm specifically." Olga's eyes wandered to the Guardian as the Caster looked down at the pale woman. "It sounded similar to a certain Holy Sword."

Olga's brow furrowed in mild confusion. "I know, but why bring that up now."

Caster gave a long sigh. "The saber is the wielder of that sword-"

Olga's eyes widened. "King Arthur, we are fighting King Arthur!?"

Caster flinched at the director's yelling. His red eyes closed shut as he groaned. The four in front of them turned their heads at the noise.

"Who is King Arthur?" Ari asked with a raised eyebrow.

"I know the basics, they were a famous king in British legend with a holy sword called Excalibur," Ritsuka explained, before the voice of Romani butts in.

"King Arthur was said to unite most of Britain under one banner, forming the Roundtable out of knights he meant along his journey, to defend Britain." Ritsuka jumped at the sudden voice behind them, causing Gudako to giggle.

"Can you stop doing that," Ritsuka yelped.

Ari and Ghost looked at each other before nodding. "So, like the Iron Lords," Ari asked with stars in her eyes. Everyone looked at Ari with a somewhat deadpan look. Ghost seemed like he was about to facepalm if he could.

"They were early guardians who defended people from Warlords during the dark ages," Ghost summarized before turning to the Guardian. "You need to start explaining before you mention something from our time."

Ari crossed her arms, "I'm still getting used to this, ok."

Olga just looked at her before falling to the ground fainting from the sheer overwhelming insanity. Ritsuka gulped, staring at the fallen director. "I think you killed her."

"She'll be fine, I hope," Roman said with a slight worry in his tone.


Olga opened her eyes to see Ghost and Roman staring down at her. The small drone-like being turned away from her. "She is awake!"

Olga groaned slightly as she slowly leaned forward, rubbing the back of her head. She saw Ritsuka and Gudako staring at her with a missing Mash, Ari, and Cu. Her golden eyes looked at the twins with a tired, worn look on her face.

"Before you mention anything, Cu, Mash, and Ari went to train," Ritsuka explained quickly.

Surprisingly, Olga said nothing as Ghost flew over Gudako's shoulder. "It seems the lever is still on the grenade."

Ritsuka looked at his sister with a somewhat confused look. "The lever activates the fuse while the pin keeps it in place," she explained.

"Why do you know that," Ritsuka asked, earning a shrug from his sister.

The hologram of Roman was seemingly holding a clipboard of sorts, looking at the director. "What happened?" Olga asked.

"After Ghost explained what the Iron Lords were, you fainted," Roman said, "though all vitals remained somewhat normal."

Olga sighed as she pushed herself onto her feet. "You said Mash, the Caster, and the Lancer went to train?"

The twins nodded as Ghost did an equivalent to one. "Ari primarily left to avoid your wrath."

Olga huffed tiredly, "Where are they?"

"At a nearby stadium of sorts," Ghost answered.

Olga said nothing again feeling drained, almost apathetic. Gudako looked at her for a second with empathy for this crazy day they all had thus far.

"Maybe we should go check on them," Gudako suggested.

"Yeah, that's probably the best idea," Ghost said flying away from the pale director, down the road followed by the twins.

Olga didn't move at first as Roman stepped forward. "Are you okay director?"

"Yes, just tired," she said rubbing her eyes before she began to walk toward the stadium.


A/N: Sorry for the wait, things have been hectic for me.

I would like to state that Ari will most likely not be paired with anyone. I don't want to start a shipping war and I don't want to accidentally write a toxic romantic relationship, though if you pair her with anyone I am fine with it and would love to hear them, just don't expect anything from her.

Also Ari's(Solar subclass) character segment with appear at the end if the singularity.
