Quartzer 11:
1783: Island Prison Break.
3rd POV
Outside Alcatraz Island, San Francisco, California
1783 AD
We then open to the heroes staring at the Island with Mash saying, "We've arrived. That island over there is Alcatraz Island."
Rama nodded, "It's unexpectedly close. But we still can't exactly swim there."
"Yeah, we will all get wet." Parado agreed.
"The chance of being noticed by enemy Servants—" Mash said.
Elisabeth scoffs as she said, "The island's not that big... Anybody could notice us when we land. No use worrying about that. More importantly, I don't want to swim. Got that?"
"Can't swim?" Ritsuka asked.
"That's not it! I've...never properly swam before, but I'm sure I'd be fine! What I'm trying to say is, I don't want to swim in the ocean. Seawater dries out my skin." Elisabeth answered.
"Really? That's your excuse" Momotaros muttered.
"It might be fine for the Servants, and the Kamen Riders but I'm sure it would be hard for our Master Fujimaru. Currents are swift, and the water is cold. It's an extremely unfit place to swim." Romani explains to the heroes.
Mash then got an idea, "We'll try searching for a boat that'll get us across." She then found an old man sitting, "...Maybe we should ask the old man over there. ...Um, excuse me?"
"Hm?"
"We're looking for a boat to cross over to that island– "Mash was about to ask the old man when he suddenly spoke.
"...Forget it. There are demons living on that island now."
This caused the heroes to narrow their eyes, "...Demons?" Mash muttered.
"That's right. I know because I'm originally from England. Those were "dragonkin.""
The heroes were shocked at this, "What!?"
The Old man then nodded, "If you really want to go, I can lend you my boat... But you'd better pay for it if you break it."
"...There you have it."
"Dragonkin, huh? That's not too bad, I'm a Dragonkin too. Well, a Demi at that." Elisabeth said.
Rama looks at Liz with a narrowed look, "Wait... You are!?"
"Where did you think my tail and horns came from?" Liz muttered.
"That's... I thought you were just into things like that..."
"When you've healed, Sita won't be the only one slapping you!"
"Th-That's enough." Mash said.
"No fighting, guys!" Poppy also shouted.
Nightingale then saw a herd of dragons with her saying, "Dragons waiting at our destination or not, this patient is at his limit. We shouldn't be afraid of a fight. We need to go, there's no time to waste."
"...Right, it'll be fine. We fought more than enough dragonkin in France, after all." Mash exclaimed.
"There were wyverns everywhere we looked... As a fellow Demi-Dragon, it got old really fast." Liz sighed.
"That was a harrowing experience, alright." Yuuto muttered.
"I see. The journey to save the world sounds like quite the ordeal." Rama exclaimed.
"–Anyway, Master, Mister Tokiwa." Bightingale looks at the Chaldean Master and the King of Time.
"Let's go!" Ritsuka smiled.
"Yeah…" Sougo nodded.
Another Adventure begins with Zi-O and Ritsuka going to the wild west, as they discover something strange in the history of America.
Oh, yeah, Oh...
We saw Mash, Ritsuka, Roman, Da Vinci look and marveled at the Rider kicking Kamen Riders, when suddenly they saw Zi-O, Den O, Ghost, Build, Wizard and Decade walking as their faces are now shown.

We saw Sougo, Ryotaro and Ritsuka look at the clocks as they reach it, they then swing their arms the background starts rotating.

We then saw Geiz throws his cloak as he transforms to Kamen Rider Geiz.

We then cut to Sougo and Tsukasa who then transform to Oma Zi-O and Decade Violent Emotions as their eyes turn red and slanted.

We then saw Takeru appear with Makoto, Alain as well as the Heroes of history. With Roman, Sento, Haruto and Da Vinci at mission control

We then saw Woz turning his book as it shows a shadowy figure with white hair and black eyes.
Madō hi mo Ikudo tonaku Asu no tobira
We then saw the Shadowy figure as he walks, as an image shows the Heroes doing their daily routine. As we cut to Woz's book showing Oma Zi-O destroying things as well as the Shadowy figure sending creating golden cups.

We then saw the Riders riding their backs, as Shadowy figures started walking. As the Rider kicks started moving.

We then saw Zi-O riding through the blaze. As it cuts to Sougo then entered an infirmary where he saw Nightingale trying to amputate Ritsuka with Emu Hiiro and the others trying to stop her
Mirai wo koe yō
We then saw heroes standing with serious looks on their eyes. With Artoria Pendragon splitting into her three aspects. As two armies faced off in a desert. One led by Edison and the other led by Cu Alter

We then saw the Riders as well as the Servants fighting some enemies. With Woz using his Kamen Rider Ginga Miridewatch.

We then saw Zi-O using his sword.

As it switches to Geiz with them duking it out as the title appears.
Ritsuka POV
Inside Alcatraz Island, San Francisco, California
1783 AD
We then saw a blonde dark-skinned man looking at the heroes with him saying, "...Hm. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, seventeen, eighteen, nineteen, twenty, twenty-one... But one of them seems weakened... Is that one injured? So that really means twenty. Seriously? ONLY twenty?" The man sighed, "I just hope there's enough for everyone to get their fill... Tch... Whatever. All right. Guys, you've got work." The man shouted at the wyverns, "You're not just here to live idly and eat humans. Go put yourselves to the test!"
The Wyverns roared loudly as the man smiled.
Inside the island, Alcatraz, Island, San Francisco, California
1783 AD
As this was going on, inside the jail cells was a girl that looks like Rama sleeping, "... ..." She then got up and was rubbing her eyes with her saying, "—Lord Rama?"
Meanwhile outside we saw the heroes disembark with Mash saying "We're here."
"Well that was a short trip." Tsukuyomi said.
"I've already picked up several enemy wyvern responses. Also– "
"What is it, Doc?" Geiz asked.
Mash then felt something as she shouted, "A Servant is here."
"Right. But the Servant doesn't seem to be moving. The wyverns seem to be deployed to form a path to the enemy Servant." Romani explained to them.
"Which means?"
Rama clicked his tongue, "...We're likely being tested. He's saying, "I'm right here. Come at me..."
Nightingale then sighed, "And if we don't defeat that Servant, we likely won't be able to meet Sita. Let's head straight there. Considering the patient's condition, we don't have a moment to lose. No need to wait for permission to operate. Cutting straight through!" She then started to ran in the direction of the enemies.
"HEY! HEY! WAIT!"
"Uh, w-wait! ...Then again, I guess Nightingale isn't exactly the type of person to wait..." Mash muttered as she shakes her head, "Let's follow her. There's no mistake that her choice is the fastest option. No sense in overthinking."
"That's right. It's good when things are easy to understand. Let's charge, full speed ahead!" Liz shouted.
"I agree with that." Parado grinned.
"Here they come. Wyverns and Celtic warriors! Master, please give me your orders!" Mash shouted as she and the others ran towards the enemies. With Ex Aid, Decade and Zi-O unleashing energy slashes at them which causes most of them.
Meanwhile, the Servants use their weapons to also push back the enemies. Artoria Alter in particular uses her Excalibur to decimate the Celts with Genm sneak attacked some of them. As for EMIYA he is now working with Zeronos, New Den-O Diend, Brave, Para-DX, and Geiz to support the others.
As the fight drag on, Den-O grunted as he muttered, "This is getting really annoying!" He looks at the Riders, "HEY EVERYONE! LET'S WRAP THIS UP NOW!"
The others then look at him as they nodded to him. With them readying their finishers.
FINISH TIME
TIME JACK
FULL CHARGE
FINAL ATTACK RIDE
ROCKET DRILL RADAR LIMIT BREAK
GASSHATTO KIMEWAZA! MIGHTY/TADDLE/BANG BANG/SHAKARIKI CRITICAL STRIKE/FINISH
The Riders then uses their finishers to destroy the enemies, with Zi-O, Decade, Geiz, Tsukuyomi, New Den-O, Ex-Aid, Genm, Lazer, Fourze, and Para-DX doing a Rider Kick. While Brave, Zeronos, Snipe, Kivala, and Diend doing a Rider slash and shooting to destroy them.
As the fight ended, Liz muttered, "Whew, piece of cake! Are you still doing, okay?"
"...Yes, somewhat. Right now, I'm just worried whether I'll be able to meet Sita again or not." Rama agreed.
"Oh? We're busy fighting for our lives, and you're thinking about your wife?" Liz muttered.
"I-I can't fight like this; I can't help it! I'd love to fight if I could!"
"Rama…" Kivala said.
"No, I meant the opposite. That's a good thing. I thought you were some playboy prince, but you're actually really nice. Okay, I feel more motivated! Leave these weaklings to me. I'll make sure you see your wife again! But in exchange, you'd better apologize to her properly. Every girl wants to know that someone needs them."
"Y-Yes... That's right. I just hope I have the chance to apologize..." Rama nodded.
They then saw another group of enemies, with Nightingale shouting, "We must push forward and defeat them, for his treatment!" She shouted as she started to charge and started beating up the enemies.
The others sighed with Den-O muttering, "Man… That's one crazy woman."
They then join her as they continue to kill the enemies, with Para-DX and Ex-Aid helping Nightingale. However, the latter is now getting tired with a Celtic warrior kicking her in the gut.
"...Ugh..."
Mash, Rama, and Tsukuyomi then walks towards the nurse with the Shielder asking, "Are you okay!?"
"Don't hurt yourself too much for me, Nightingale. I know of shame, and you mentioned something similar earlier. I don't wish for you to be harmed."
"Yes, you're pushing yourself too hard." The Time Jacker Princess said.
Nightingale grunted, "Be quiet. For me, the second most hated thing in this world is an incurable illness. What I hate most are patients who don't try to recover."
"S-Shouldn't it be the opposite?" Rama narrowed his eyes.
Nightingale glares at Rama as she shouted back, "No. Incurable diseases will become curable someday. Doctors and nurses like myself constantly work towards that goal, racking our minds and building knowledge. We must cure illness, even if that means killing people.
Disease must be killed, massacred, and exterminated. –But to do that, a patient's willpower is imperative. Curing a patient who has no will to recover is impossible, for any doctor. Medical treatment can only begin when someone has the will to be healed. I intend to cure you. I'll cure you so you can act openheartedly. I'll cure you so that you may whisper words of love to your wife. I'll cure you—so you can wield your sword and fight. But for that, your body, your cells, must have the determination to recover. If you lose willpower, muster it up again.
Otherwise, I'll kill you myself."
The others sweat dropped, "...You know, you really are a Berserker!" Rama muttered.
"I can't believe they omit this part about Nightingale…" Brave muttered.
Nightingale then ask the king, "You disapprove?"
"Not at all... I got it. I'll recover. I WILL recover. I have the desire to do so. I refuse to die, not until my wish is fulfilled!"
"This is the final gate. Please hold out just a little longer." Nightingale declared.
Suddenly, Mash stopped as she shouted, "...A Servant!"
The others then also stop with them as they see the man ordering the wyverns, "Hey. Welcome to the Alcatraz Penitentiary. Are you here for imprisonment? An attack? Aiding a jailbreak? Let me know what you want. I'll think about it after I kill you."
"This patient's wife seems to be held here. She's necessary for his recovery, please release her." Nightingale demanded.
"He need some surgery so get out of the way." Brave agreed.
The man then chuckled as he said, "What, you're here for a meeting? Seriously, you didn't come to fight?"
"Of course not. Why would a nurse want to fight? The only things that nurses fight are illness and injury." Nightingale flustery replied.
"You're absolutely correct. A nurse who takes lives would be out of their mind. Hmm? That means you're actually not crazy? You're quite the respectable Servant!" The man declared as he laughs.
"I must agree with our enemy." Rama muttered at the back of Nightingale, "This nurse here is a contradictory woman, someone who's crazy yet isn't crazy either."
"Oh? I thought you were just their luggage, but you can talk? I get it. You're that lady's husband. Unfortunately for you,
I have no intention of letting her go." The man grinned.
"–So you are obstructing treatment of an injured man. Obstacles must be eliminated. I wish for bloodshed. No, I thirst for it. If it means saving a patient, I'll remove all obstacles down to their roots!"
"Heh... Hahahaha! How amusing! So Berserkers come in different varieties too!" The man shouted at them.
"Ugh... This Servant doesn't make me feel well... I feel it in my horns!" Liz muttered.
"You got that right…"
"I'm sure, young lady! After all, my True Name is Beowulf–the "Dragon Slayer."" The man now called Beowulf declared.
This caused the heroes to be shocked, "Beowulf the one who killed Grendel…" Zi-O muttered.
"The famed hero of the oldest English epic poem, Beowulf! He's a formidable enemy, so don't hold back. Everyone, fight him together!"
"You got it, Doc!" Zi-O said.
"Oh, we're starting with a group fight? I see you guys are going all out, I like that!" Beowulf grinned as he summoned another dragon.
"Wha... A dragonkin? It wasn't just wyverns?" Mash exclaimed.
"I handpicked this one. A bit of a waste to use in skirmishes, but good enough as a test. It's obvious that we're enemies, but there are still codes of conduct to follow. I admire those who are strong, even enemies. Fear not death, but extravagance, and never forget honor. That's the rule of our world. Well, it just means you need to fight, and prove yourself. This world is filled with conflict, and this nation is being swallowed into the mud of war. If you have a problem with that, come and fight. Prove that your life is worth living. Prove that you're warriors. If you manage that, let's see... I'll at least remember your names!" He shouted and then stared at Nightingale, "What's going on? You don't feel pain, woman? Or do you have a heart of iron? Edison's mechanized soldier is more human than you. You're like steel in human clothes, Berserker!"
"I'm often told that. I don't care at all. My body is simply a means to heal patients, after all."
"You're like a puppet just doing what it was built for! Looks like I need to crush you completely to stop you!"
"...Wait. Nightingale, I have a request."
"Hey! Hey! Hey! You're still injured." Ex-Aid said.
"–You're a patient, please be quiet." Nightingale replied.
"No, this is necessary for my treatment." Rama shouted.
"...What is it?" Nightingale inquired.
"Put me down."
"...I can't do that." Nightingale replied.
"Put me down, for the sake of treatment. If you fall, who will treat me?" Rama shouted as he tried to break free, "Believe in me. A patient and doctor must first trust each other, right?" He then got out of the body bag.
This caused the nurse to say, "...Just one correction. I'm a nurse, not a doctor."
"Huh? Hey, I want to fight that living iron puppet lady over there. I have no interest in fighting a living corpse. Just go die in a corner or something."
"...You're right. I'm just a living corpse. However... Listen to me. I have quite the story for you. A sweet deal. You won't lose out."
"Hm? You've come to a prison, and you got a sweet deal? You trying to bribe the jailer or something—" Beowulf asks the Indian hero with narrowed eyes.
Rama suddenly throws his sword like a boomerang, "BRAHMASTRA!" (羅刹を穿つ不滅 (ブラフマーストラ)
Beowulf dodged it with Brave trying to slash him, "What!?" He dodged as he muttered, "You've got a pretty face, but you pull a surprise attack like that? Damn, now that's interesting!"
"Shut up! Stand aside! For getting in the way of love, you could've got it much worse! My wife is waiting for me! I'm not going to be picky about my methods!"
"Heh... Haha, of course! That's definitely my bad! I tried acting like a big villain, but that was more like some petty underling! All right, bring it on, frail boy! If you manage to beat me now, that's a victory for justice! Put your life on the line for your woman, and die with honor!"
The heroes then readied their weapons, with the Riders joining Rama as they started to charge at Beowulf. With the latter unleashing an energy wave. Which causes the heroes to split to dodge.
Snipe then started to shoot Beowulf only to punch him in the gut causing the Rider to push back.
"Taiga!" Nico shouted as he went to Snipe, "Are you okay?"
"Yeah, I'm fine."
Rama, Geiz and Brave tried to slash and cut the Geatish hero. However, Beowulf blocks them with his two swords and kicks the two back. Lazer and EMIYA then tries to rattle the Geatish King by continuously slashing him with their weapons.
Ex-Aid, Para-DX and Rama then look at each other as they thought of something, "Hey I think I have a plan…" They then whispered to each other.
Beowulf then asks, "What are you three mumbling about?"
"Oh, nothing… It's just that we're going to do this…" Para-DX shouted as he and Ex-Aid started to rapid punch Beowulf, the latter tries to attack the two Kamen Riders. When suddenly Rama stab him in the back. While igniting it with fire causing the king to be burn and have a gash in his chest.
"—Tch, I can't even win against a man who's half-dead and a bunch of armored clowns... I've lost, no matter how anyone looks at it. Fine, I surrender. Do whatever you want. I'm not so tasteless as to stand in the way of your love. Damn, bringing love affairs onto the battlefield...
I'm weak against things like that. To be honest, I wanted to wipe you guys out, or be completely wiped out myself... Oh, by the way, I didn't lay a finger on the prisoner. She's so dainty, I felt like she'd snap just by touching her." Beowulf muttered.
"That means... you're surrendering from battle?" Nightingale muttered.
"That's right. We can talk somewhere else. Just get going, frail boy. Your dainty wife is waiting."
"Yes... I'll do that!"
They then went towards the jail cells, with a voice saying, "... ...Lord Rama?"
"Is that you, Sita? I've come for you... I've...come..." Rama muttered as he tried to ran towards the cell.
"Rama, you shouldn't run in your condition..." Mash shouted.
"You're being reckless."
"...Ah, damn it. My vision's all blurry. I can't see a thing."
"I'm right here, Lord Rama." Sita shouted at the cell.
"Where... Sita... Where are you? ...I wanted to see you. I wanted to see you. I really, really wanted to see you again. You being there for me was all I needed!" Rama muttered as she reached the cell smiling and collapsed.
"Rama!" Mash said as she and the others ran towards the collapsed Rama.
"–We must begin treatment at once." Nightingale commanded.
"Roger that, Nightingale-san." Emu replied.
"I'm sorry, normally we wouldn't conduct medical procedures in such an unsanitary place. But you're a Servant, so this is an exception. Feel free to hold his hand, no need for hesitation." Nightingale said with her being helped by the Doctor Riders with the others freeing Sita.
"...What happened to Lord Rama?" Sita asks the heroes.
The heroes look at each other, with Mash saying, "I'll explain. You see– "She and the others then explain to Sita what was happening. With Sita gasping.
"My, something like that happened? To think I could ever be of use to Lord Rama..."
"...Um, so who exactly are you?"
"I am "Rama."" Sita answered, causing the heroes to be confused.
"Now we're confused…"
"What... What do you mean?" Mash asked.
Sita looks at them, "Are you familiar with the curse placed on Lord Rama?"
"Curse?" Sougo said narrowing his eyes.
"If I recall... When he killed the monkey Vali with an ambush from behind, the monkey's wife cast a curse on him."
"Yes. That curse keeps us apart, even as Heroic Spirits." Sita explain to the heroes, "We can never meet again, "When participating in a Holy Grail War as Servants, either he or I get summoned as Rama. We are never summoned simultaneously. Even in Holy Grail Wars, we are fated to never meet again. ...Even this unique situation is no different. When he awakens, I will most likely vanish."
"That can't be..."
"That's so cruel…" Tsukuyomi said.
"–But it's okay. I'm fine with that. While Lord Rama wasn't able to see me..." Sita smiled as h holds Rama's right hand, "I was able to be here, and hold his hand. That's...enough for me to be happy."
"–Are you really okay with that? What about a heartfelt apology? An oath of love, from the bottom of his soul?" Liz ask Sita, "You don't want something like that? This man betrayed you once before, right?"
"This man fought for 14 years, for my sake. He faced Ravana, even though we had only lived together for a year. He could have forgotten about me, and taken a new wife–but he never did, to the day he died. That's enough. I know his love and passion well enough. That's why we will...continue yearning for each other. Even if it's an impossible wish, we'll continue to believe that it'll come true one day."
"...I see. It sounds like you had a short, but happy time together." Liz said.
"The mending is mostly complete, but "something" is nestled inside, interfering." Nightingale answered.
"That's likely the curse of Gáe Bolg."
"Even if he recovers from his wound, I doubt he will be able to fight... I am sorry to say." Nightingale explained.
"In that case, I shall offer this body." Sita requested causing the others to be shocked.
"What!?"
"I'll dispel the curse with my body. I'll burden myself with the curse, then disappear. Luckily, Rama and I are "one and the same." It should be simple to take the curse in his place."
"P-Please wait! That defeats the purpose of us coming here! Rama was able to come this far...because it was all for you!"
"Yeah, we came here to rescue you!" Ritsuka said.
"...Yes. I'm saying, those feelings...are enough to fulfill me. Also, from what you just told me, you need a strong warrior more than anything now. Isn't that, right? In that case, my husband...Lord Rama, is the most powerful warrior in this world." Sita smiled.
"Very well, Me and the other Doctors transplant the lesion to you. Are you sure this is, okay?"
"Yes, please do so." Sita nodded.
"–I never married in my lifetime. However, I still understand your feelings of wanting to help another. Though only a short while, it was an honor to speak with you. Farewell, Mrs. Sita."
"Yes." Sita thanked the nurse
She then caress Rama's face as she spoke with tears in her eyes, "Lord Rama... Rama. I can take just a small portion of your burden. ...I can aid your fight, even if it's only for a little. But that's more than enough to make me happy." She then leaned as she muttered, "I love you... I really, really do love you." She then kissed Rama as she fell down and disappeared.
"–Mr. Rama. Mr. Rama! Can you hear my voice? Should I fire a gun next to your ear?" Nightingale shout at the Indian hero.
"Please don't do that..."
"Have you gone mad!?"
"..." Rama then got up as he rubs her head, "... ...Ah, she is gone."
"–Yes, to cure you."
"I see... I thought she might do that, considering how abnormal this Holy Grail War is. So this is also destiny, I suppose." Rama muttered.
"She held your hand, and kissed you. She offered you her tears, and her love. That's why you're standing here, alive."
"And she really love you too." Hiiro smiled.
"–Thank you, Nightingale, Hiiro. Those words alone give me salvation." Rama smiled.
"There's no need for a thank you. This is what gives my life meaning, after all"
"Me too.".
"Nightingale, Mash, Elisabeth, Dr. Roman Sougo... and Master. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart. I, Rama, Saber class and king of Kosala... ...hereby renew my oath. Fujimaru, I am your Servant." Rama declared.
Ritsuka smiled at this, "Ready to fight?"
"...My body does not falter. I'm fully prepared for battle. And... this time, I shall emerge victorious over Cú Chulainn. I swear it. I shall not be defeated again."
"...This completes our team's mission. We should hurry to the East." Mash declared.
"It's finally time to begin treating the root cause. Let's put our skills to the test."
"Hey, what exactly is the treatment?" Liz inquired.
Nightingale smirked as she answered, "We shall purge the Celtic warriors. Completely."
"Wonderful. Truly the most exciting treatment."
"I agree I'll show them what "God's talents are made off." Kuroto smiled.
"Oh boy…" Kiriya muttered.
Author's Notes:
And that's about it. See you!
