Author's Note: We are now going 10 years into the future, with the preparations of the Ikebukuro Holy Grail War. This one will be an Apocrypha style, with two factions and a Ruler overseeing with Caren Hortensia and Izaya Orihara. All of the Servants except Ruler have been selected from Fate/Grand Order. With all of that out of the way, let's get started.
Chapter 1: Summoning the Gold Faction
Emiya Household:
Masaomi Kida's Point of View
Masaomi frantically came through the door of the Emiya House. He searched his way into Kiritsugu Emiya's office, where he then came across a charcoal black-skinned giant with glowing red eyes and a club in his left hand. In front of him, Masaomi sees Kiritsugu's daughter in the office.
"I summoned my servant!" Illyasviel announced to her father excitedly. "Good job Illya," her father praised her and patted her head, trying to keep her spirit up. "I am still scared, dad," Illyasviel said with fear in her voice. "I've given you all the preparations you need," Kiritsugu told his daughter while he smiled.
"I see you got a Berserker. Are you sure you can handle it?" Kiritsugu asked. "Yes!" Illyasviel yelled with a confidant smile on her face.
As Masaomi watched this exchange, and after Berserker and Illyasviel walked past him, Kiritsugu finally noticed him. "What can I do for you?" Kiritsugu asked. "Do you think you can purchase a catalyst for me?" Masaomi asked. "You have a lot of money from your career as the Magus Killer." Kiritsugu thought for a second. "It would arrive too late," Kiritsugu said.
Masaomi began to sweat a little bit. He wanted to be sure he could save his friends in this Holy Grail War. "After I nearly dragging them into the less savory parts of Ikebukuro," Masaomi thought to himself with dread. He looked at his left hand, where his Gold Command Seals were, and he began to sweat at the idea of someone else killing him and taking the Command Seals from him. "The Mages are pretty cruel like that," Masaomi thought to himself with a nervous laugh nearly bursting out of his mouth.
Just then, he got a text from a man he never wanted to hear from. The he gulped once and read what it said: I have a catalyst for you, meet me at my place to get it. Masaomi knew he couldn't trust Izaya, but he also knew he had no choice.
"I assume you can get one on your own?" Kiritsugu asked. Masaomi nodded his head. "Then go get it," Kiritsugu told Masaomi with finality. Masaomi then began to make his way out of the house. Before he walked out the door, Illyasviel went up to his ear and cheerfully said "You have to summon yours today, or you'll die." Shivers went up Masaomi's spine when he heard that and began to run towards Izaya's.
Izaya's Home:
Masaomi ran as fast as possible up the stairs of Izaya's house. As he arrived in Izaya's office, he saw two others in the room. One was a girl with short, brown hair, wearing a green jacket. 'She's pretty good-looking,' Masaomi thought. He saw she had the same Gold Command Seals that he had. Masaomi then saw the other man in the room had no Command Seals on his hands. 'So, what's he doing here?' Masaomi thought. That boy had combed blue hair, a blue jacket, and was slouched while he was standing.
"Ah, your here," Masaomi heard Izaya speak. Masaomi then walked towards them. Izaya then brought out of box from under his desk. "In this box, there is three catalysts that you can choose," Izaya said. Izaya then opened the box, and revealed three objects: the top of a wooden stake, a piece of a red cape, and a piece from a wooden table. "Pick randomly. Fate will decide you chances," Izaya stated.
"You can't just do that without telling us what each one will summon!" the green jacket girl yelled. "Chie Satonaka, I don't know which ones will summon which servants. Just close your eyes and pick one," Izaya ordered. "We'll start with you, Minato." Izaya turned to the blue haired boy. Minato then closed his eyes, reached into the box, and grabbed the piece of wooden stake. Masaomi and Chie then did the same, with Chie getting the piece of cape, and Masaomi picking the piece of the table.
"Good luck everyone," Izaya said. Masaomi then decided to leave, not wanting to stay near Izaya any longer. They then turned towards the exit in front of them.
Masaomi then walked towards Chie. "We're on the same team!" Masaomi said cheerfully, trying to hide his fear. "Why do you think Minato didn't have Command Seals?" Chie asked. "I don't know, but you're pretty cute," he said while flashing a shiny grin . Chie then kicked him in the stomach, causing Masaomi to kneel down while clutching his stomach. "I have a boyfriend!" Chie yelled. "He's very lucky," Masaomi said while winching. Chie then scoffed and began to walk away. "Better summon your servant tonight," Chie advised while walking away.
Hope's Peak Academy
Makoto Naegi's Point of View
Makoto was walking down the halls of the second story of Hope's Peak Academy. The sun was beginning to set, and he was trying to search for a way to get to Rin Tohsaka's mansion undetected.
" Where do you think your going?" a voice from behind him asked. Makoto turned around to see his classmate Byakuya Togami. He has a stern look on his face, while wearing his fancy suit and glasses. "To meet up with Tohsaka," Makoto said. "Without a catalyst?" Togami asked. "Rin summoned a servant without one. Maybe I can too?" Makoto said with very little confidence.
"I bought one for you so that you wouldn't make the same mistake as your mentor," Togami said as he pulled out a piece of a scroll. Makoto has a look of surprise on his face.
"I've already summoned my servant," Togami explained, as a woman with green hair and golden jewelry materialized next to Togami. "Assassin of Gold, at your service," the servant said. Makoto then nodded in understanding.
"What catalyst did you get me?" Makoto asked. " A piece of the original Book of Ecclesiastes," Togami said. Makoto went to have a surprised look on his face. "When you have the connections and money I do, you can get any artifact from history," Togami smugly declared. "I have a limousine waiting to take us to our base. Let's go before your idol girlfriend shows up," Togami said as he handed the piece of scroll to Makoto, who began to blush.
Tohsaka Mansion
Rin Tohsaka's Point of View
Rin looked around her mansion. She saw the white-haired girl looking up at her giant Berserker. "Will you be able to control it," Rin asked. "Better than you can control yours!" Illyasviel mocked as she stuck her tongue out.
Rin was about to scream, but then Kiritsugu entered the dining room with a glare directed at her. "You'll need to have less of a temper if you want to survive," another voice said as her servant materialized behind her. His muscled body was hugged by the red and black clothing he wore, while he has brown skin and white hair.
A red haired boy then entered the room. "Do you have a catalyst?" Rin asked him. "It's inside of me," he responded. Rin looked confused at the moment. "I placed it in him to save his life," Kiritsugu explained. "I guess it'll work for Shirou," Rin decided.
Just then, Masaomi came from the door with Chie in front of him. "We're ready," Chie declared. Not long after, Rin saw a limousine park in front of her mansion through a window. Makoto and Byakuya walked out of it, and then the limousine drove away. They went through the door of the Tohsaka mansion.
"You kids ready?" Kiritsugu asked. They all nodded. "Good luck," he said as he began walked out of the mansion. "Why are you helping us?" Rin asked Kiritsugu. Kiritsugu stopped in his tracks. "I'm trying to help my children survive, and prevent another city from catching fire. And you're the best chance of that happening," Kiritsugu explained. "And why is that?" Rin asked with her hands on her hips. "You all have the skills and training to match the White Faction," Kiritsugu said simply. "We'll see," Rin finished as Kiritsugu exited the mansion.
"Everyone, place your catalysts in front of you," Rin ordered. Byakuya's servant then appeared behind him. "That will not be necessary for me!" He declared. "Same for you, Rin," Rin's servant said. "And me!" Illyasviel yelled. "The rest of you just do as I say!" Rin demanded. "Good luck big brother!" Illyasviel cheered.
A Golden sword sheath came out of Shirou's chest then, as he placed it on the ground. The rest of them followed with their catalysts. "Repeat after me!" Rin ordered. They all began the chant. "For the elements silver and iron. For the foundation, Stone and the Archduke of Contracts. The color we pay tribute to is Gold. Fill, fill, fill, fill, fill...repeat five times, and when each is filled, destroy it! Raise a walk against the winds, and close the gates in all four directions. Come forth from the crown, and follow the forked road to the kingdom. I declare, my will creates your body, and your sword creates my destiny! If you heed the call of the grail and obey my will and reason, then answer! I swear, I shall be all the good in the world, I shall defeat all evil in the world, seventh heaven clad in the three words of power, come forth from the binding circle, o guardian of scales!"
After they finished chanting, magical ls energy were gathered and released around their catalysts, the servants were summoned and surrounded by a mist. "We ask of you, are you the ones who are our masters?" all of them declared as the mist revealed them.
Author's Note: White Faction is up next...plus the summoning of the Ruler. After that, a flashbacks chapter. See you then. Also, Irisviel is still alive and will appear later.
