"Oof."

"... Big Oof." Naruto agreed with Anne looked at the damage to the other side of the ship. They made land, not on the island that they wanted to repair the ship on, and the damage wasn't small. The damage from their fight with Charybdis was still visible as a few long scratches on the side of the ship. The monsters that worked for the Siren had all clawed the sides of the ship, and there it was weathered down.

It needed serious repairs.

They were looking at 4 days of repairs, and then another day for the enhancements with the Wyvern Hides that Tamamo enchanted for them. Once that was done, it would just be 2 days for Van Gogh to paint it all so they could get a form of camoflauge while on the ocean.

They were back on wyvern island.

They were back where they picked up Chloe, and right next to where Charybdis would pass by. It was not a great place to be, but it would make do. Naruto would use the 7 days they were going to take to upgrade the ship to see if the great monster of the ocean passed by. It would be good information for him to know, because he didn't want to leave the island until AFTER Charybdis had passed by them.

"We're back... here."

"The other Master's ship is still here, the one that I punched a hole in." Melusine had seen that ship when they were making land. That meant that there was another master on the island with servants.

Anne looked at Mary.

They were ready for a fight.

"Since we're stuck here for at least 7 days, maybe more... I guess we need to get a team together and go... greet that other Master. Some different Master has 2 grails already... it's time that I even those odds." Naruto wanted to go defeat the master on this island, wipe his servants off the map with him, and claim his grail as his own.

"Captain Naruto."

"Oh, it's Ritsuka and... Mash, you're awake now, good... what are you two doing off the ship?" Naruto asked the two, because he could see the bandaged up Mash was barely holding it together. Naruto was having her fed enough food to heal, but not quite enough to restore her stamina just yet.

The Shielder class was her class, meaning if she had full stamina, she could become a problem.

"Sorry, but you said that there is another Master on this island... well... can't we see if we can befriend him. Maybe we can sort this entire mess out." Mash spoke up, since she and her own Master had been listening in on the conversation from atop the boat. Naruto looked her up and down, and she backed up when he made sharp eye contact with her.

"Go and rest... Chaldean Master... don't forget that you and both your servants are on my ship, and I don't trust you. So, if you want me to listen to you, prove to me I can trust you." Naruto still refused to listen to what they had to say on anything. He wanted to win the war, and these people were still his enemies, though he was satisfied with just keeping an eye on them.

The "wait and see" approach.

Not the greatest of approaches, but it was his choice to make.

"Beni-Enma, Atalanta, Melusine, and Chloe... I am taking you 4 with me to go and declare war. Chloe, this is your chance to prove yourself." Naruto placed his hand on top of her skull. He wanted a balanced team, and if he didn't have prisoners to worry about, he would take his entire servant roster with him.

He would settle for 2 of his hardest hitting servants, his experienced and hard to hit little bird, and Chloe though. He needed to leave behind 5 servants in order to keep the repairs on the ship going on time, which meant leaving behind Tamamo and Anne/Mary, since they were doing important repairs.

"I wanna fight..."

"You want repairs to take longer?" Naruto asked Anne with a raised eyebrow. "... if so... who should you replace?" Naruto asked her, since if she had a better idea he was open to hearing it. "Ishtar is powerful, but I need to leave SOME of my firepower here to defend the ship. Van Gogh is powerful, but still mentally unstable." Naruto couldn't rely on Van Gogh in battle anymore.

The deal with the Sirens had left Van Gogh mentally weakened.

She was now unfit for battle until she got her mental issues sorted out, which made her the second of his servants he couldn't rely on for battle. Shuten was powerful, but he couldn't count on her to actually be willing to listen to him. He couldn't even rely on her to help with repairs, so he needed his most reliable servants to be at his side.

Melusine, who would do whatever he said... no matter what it was, without question.
Atalanta, who had faith in him, was protective of him, and actually listened to him.
Beni-Enma, who was passive and obedient, and had a keen eye.
Finally, Chloe who needed a chance to prove herself, and knew Wyvern island like the back of her hand.

Naruto picked 3 powerful servants who were among his most reliable to take into battle, and Chloe who could take them to where they wanted to go.

"Captain Naruto, we can be helpful, and it is really important..."

"Silence." Melusine stated that to Ritsuka, and she wasn't having anything else. Ritsuka silenced herself when hearing that. Naruto nodded to her, and he looked to the top of the ship where Atalanta was looking out. She was keeping an eye on the forest, and her cat ears were constantly twitching.

-2 Hours Later-

The team was off.

"Master, I have questions about this... team setup."

"Didn't have much choice in the matter. Atalanta, can you stay behind him. Chloe, you walk in front, and I want my sides covered." Naruto wanted to be the center of the formation. That way no Assassin servants could sneak up on him and finish him off before he could react. Not that they would get passed Beni-Enma or Atalanta's hearing.

Chloe needed to be in front, since she was leading the way.

"Why me though, and not bring along Ishtar?" Beni questioned that. Sure, she was strong, but she wasn't as strong as Ishtar or Shuten were. They would be better picks than her for a raid on an enemy master. She couldn't see why she was picked for the front lines this time, when normally it was her duty to stay on the ship and protect it with Tamamo and Shuten.

"I didn't have much choice, so I picked 3 of the most reliable servants I had to come with me... and Chloe."

"Hey now, I'm pretty reliable." Chloe took offense to the statement that she might not be as reliable as the others. "Like... look at this!" Chloe cut down a tree, and revealed that they had reached their destination.

The other side of the island.

They were on a cliff that was overlooking the enemy ship, where there was a group of servants and a master repairing the MASSIVE holes on either side of the ship. It would seem that they had been shipwrecked since Melusine put the holes there, and the damage to the ship itself had become worse from frequent wyvern attacks. Naruto could see dozens of wyvern corpses on the beach, so he guessed the wyverns attacked pretty often.

"So, what is your order Master... should I take them down now?"

"No, they saw your speed before. This time they might be on guard for you. Instead... we're going to go with a different plan." Naruto turned and extended his hand to Atalanta, and his eyes locked onto her bow.

The Bow of Heaven.

Taurapolos.

"I understand." Melusine watched as Atalanta took his hand. Naruto closed his eyes and used his other hand to unwrap his arm, showing his command spells.

One of them glowed.

"By Order of a Command Spell... Atalanta, unleash your mighty bow. Take my magical energy and my determination." Naruto transfered all of the energy from a command spell into Atalanta. The energy transfered directly to her through their shared physical contact. There was a flood of high intensity magical energy that belonged to both the command spell, and Naruto himself.

Atalanta felt it all.

It was a rush of euphoria having all of that power inside of her, it was a mind numbing amount of raw magical power. She locked eyes with Naruto, and saw his blue eyes had turned blood red. A strong connection formed between them. Naruto gripped her hand tighter, and transferred an even greater amount of his magical energy into her. His determination went through their bond, and steeled her mind to the power that enhanced her animal instincts.

She managed to keep her mind intact even as he let go of her hand, and grabbed her shoulder.

She raised her bow.

"TAUROPOLOS!" Atalanta called out the name of her bow, and unleashed one of her Noble Phantasms up into the sky. A black arrow flew up towards the clouds, before it exploded.

It started to rain down destruction.

"Melusine and Chloe, destroy the ship!"

Shields started to appear in the air once the destruction started, meaning one of the servants had defensive abilities. Large glowing shields that were starting to crack under the pressure of Atalanta's attack. There was an actual panic that set in with a few other servants though, because while the servant had been fast, he hadn't been fast enough.

3 servants had been killled in the blink of an eye.

Melusine flew towards towards the ship and slipped right through the floating shields, and extended her arms forward. She blasted another hole in the ship and came out of the other side of it. She flew and dodged arrows from both the enemy archer, and she was forced to dodge the continued assault of arrows by Atalanta's first attack. The arrows continued to rain down from above and below.

Chloe went behind the enemy archer with two swords in hand.

The archer was forced to shoot arrows up to block arrows from Atalanta when some of the shields broken and started to rain down arrows towards his master. He was stuck between defending his master and fellow servants, while also attacking Melusine. He didn't have a moment to spare when Chloe shoved her swords through his chest, and cut him into two parts.

"Master, we lost Phantom, Angra, Shakespear, and Arash!"

The arrows ended from Atalanta's attack, but the damage had been done. She wiped out 3 servants, and Chloe had ended the life of the enemy archer. Naruto nodded his head and watched Beni flew towards the fighting.

Atalanta joined, with Naruto holding onto her as she jumped.

"Glorious combat with oppressors! It is time to break free of these shackles!"

Naruto landed on the ground right in front of the enemy Master.

"... Kiba Inuzuka... why am I not surprised. Atalanta, you take care of the enemy berserker." Naruto watched as Melusine took her job very seriously. Chloe was currently engaged in combat with a powerfully build, muscular man. The only servants that Kiba had remaining were... rather unimpressive compared.

He was down to 4 servants.

"Master..." Atalanta glanced over and saw prey that she wanted to hunt more than the berserker.

"... Go on then... leave the enemy master to me. Beni, take on the enemy berserker. Chloe, attack the pirate looking guy... Melusine, take out the guy who..." Naruto didn't even get to finish that statement.

Melusine did it.

She clashed with the enemy servant, and in the blink of an eye the man had 6 stab wounds in his chest. He stayed standing, but the wounds would kill him soon enough. The man rushed to his master's side and ignored his wounds, only for Melusine to join Naruto's side.

"Master, that is Atalanta, and she's wearing the hide of the Calydonian boar! We need to cut out losses right now and run with our tail between our legs!"

"JASON!" Atalanta jumped after the enemy servant, named Jason.

He didn't last long against her, not long at all before she ripped him in half with her bare hands. Naruto raised an eyebrow and covered his mouth at the sheer brutality of the way that she killed the man.

"Naruto! Don't tell me you are a Master.. WHY... What you bastard! You coward, you launched a surprise attack! You wiped out half my team before we could defend ourselves!" Kiba roared and rushed towards Naruto with his fists bared. The fighting had become too one sided, and Naruto with his eyes red caught Kiba's punch.

He returned it.

He unleashed a single quick jab to the stomach that lifted Kiba off his feet, and put the man to his knees and on his side. Naruto looked at Kiba, and saw that all of his command spells were gone. Kiba was gasping for breath, all the wind knocked right out of him.

"Master..."

There was the twang of a bow, and Atalanta caught an arrow that almost pierced the back of Naruto's head. Naruto didn't flinch.

"How did you lose all your command spells... ah... I see..." Naruto grabbed Kiba's arm and lifted him up into the air. "... You were a tyrant, using command spells to order your servants to obey you... that seems like you." Naruto let go of Kiba's arm and allowed him to fall back down to his knees.

Atalanta walked over to Arash.

Arash, cut in half by Chloe and barely able to move, but still able to fight. He aimed his bow with shaky hands towards Atalanta, who aimed her bow right at him as well. Beni and Chloe were both fighting against Spartacus, while the injured enemy lancer grabbed Kiba and put distance between himself and Naruto. Melusine was back at Naruto's side though.

"Gah!"

Naruto glanced away from Kiba in worry.

Atalanta put an arrow in Arash's forehead, but he had managed to put an arrow into her thigh, her shoulder, and her shin. Atalanta was still alive though, and ripped the arrows out of her body. Beni was sent flying from a punch that Spartacus landed on her, right in her stomach... but Chloe finished off the mad berserker by cutting his head off.

"Are you okay Atalanta, Beni?" Naruto asked the two injured servants.

Beni had the wind knocked right out of her, and she landed in the sand while holding her injured belly. Chloe had taken a few scraping blows from a sword, cuts on her body that would heal soon enough. The fight with the berserker hadn't been as one sided as Naruto would have hoped.

It was now 4 servants to 1.

"I'll... live."

"These wounds are..." Atalanta started, before Naruto pulled his jacket's collar to the side, and exposed his neck and shoulder to Atalanta.

"Use my blood and energy to heal yourself. I trust you can control yourself... and not rip my throat out." Naruto stated with a smile. The enemy lancer had taken a defensive position in front of his master, but the battle had been finished. The wounds Melusine inflicted on him were just too great for him to ignore forever.

Atalanta grabbed onto his body and sank her fangs into his flesh.

The puncture wounds on her body started to heal, and she left a bite mark behind on his shoulder from where she pierced him.

"You... bastard... you didn't fight... fair."

"You fiend."

"Leonidus... descendant of Heracles. You fought with honor... but your master has used all of his command spells before this fight, and you can't defend him anymore. If you want your master to make it out alive, go get the holy grail from your wrecked ship." Atalanta made the offer.

Naruto didn't argue.

"No, they could use it to heal."

"Hah! You were too late! Somebody else already took it! We don't have a Holy Grail anymore... you lose! I don't have a grail to give you, so you might as well fuck off!" Kiba wasn't going to go down without a fight.

"Melusine."

Melusine slaughtered the enemy lancer, and was standing in front of Kiba with her hand extended at his throat.

"Who stole it?"

"He's lying. Kiba is a horrible liar, he always has been... which means he tried to lie to us to save his neck." Naruto walked up next to Melusine and grabbed Kiba, and lifted him up. He looked Kiba dead on in the eyes. Kiba grit his teeth, before he took out the Holy Grail from his coat and tossed it into the sand.

Beni was still holding her stomach in the sand.

The Berserker hit her hard.

"Master... he's hostile, I suggest killing him." Melusine offered her suggestion. Kiba was holding onto Naruto's forearm as he lifted the man up into the air. Naruto had his other arm pulled back. Melusine was ready to kill Kiba at a moment's notice. She wasn't the only one who was ready to kill if needed.

Chloe and Atalanta were ready to finish him off.

"He's a Master with no servants, he won't survive on his own for long. He's also hostile, we can't have him on the ship... Master?" Atalanta saw Naruto's fist shaking.

Now that it was time to inflict the killing blow, she looked and saw Naruto's eyes.

They were back to blue.

'As harsh as he talked, he is struggling to actually kill somebody he knows. Master seems... very conflicted.' Melusine looked at Naruto with some concern. She could see the pain growing in his eyes now that he had somebody he knew dead to rights.

Naruto tossed Kiba on the ground.

"... Go... get out of here. Come on, we've got what we want... lets get out of here too." Naruto made his choice.

'... As cold as he pretends to be... my Master has his soft side too.' Atalanta was actually comforted when she saw this side of him. Naruto tossed a knife into the sand next to Kiba.

"Use that to protect yourself until somebody can rescue you." Naruto walked over to Beni and placed his hand on her stomach. He lifted her up and held her in his arms. He felt half of her ribs had been broken by the blow she took. He would need Tamamo to heal her when they got back to the ship, his blood alone wouldn't be enough to heal all the damage and get her back to fighting condition.

"You... you think you can pity me! You think you can just give me a dagger and tell me to survive! You're a bastard Uzumaki Naruto!" Kiba grabbed the knife and rushed towards Naruto. Naruto was holding his injured servant, and wouldn't be able to defend himself. His only hope was that his surprise attack would get to Naruto before his servants got to him.

No.

Naruto bit his lower lip.

He didn't need to see it.

Melusine had her hand shoved through Kiba's stomach, Atalanta had her hand shoved through his lung, and Chloe had a sword in full swing, having chopped off Kiba's arm. Kiba was being lifted in the air, being disarmed and impaled.

"You idiot... you should have just taken the knife and run away." Naruto muttered under his breath.

"Master."

Beni's small hand touched his cheek.

"Just... don't comfort me. It... couldn't be helped. Kiba is too proud... I hoped he would just run away... but he would rather die than accept help from his enemy... and that is what we were... we were enemies." Naruto didn't make her take her hand from his hand. He found comfort in it. He had thought that he could shut off his heart and do what needed to be done.

It was a lot harder.

He didn't expect it to hit him this hard.

"Heh... I hope you... choke... you evil... dirty blooded... blond haired... friendless... parentless... you... heh... fuck your pity. Fuck you... Uzu... maki." Kiba died spouting the most hateful and hurtful words that he could think of towards the master of the servants that killed him. His body hit the sands, a smirk on his face and the light gone from his eyes.

If he couldn't beat his enemy, he wanted to go out hurting his enemy in anyway possible.

"You jerk... it wasn't pity. It wasn't. It wasn't pity at all... I just..." Naruto stopped himself.

He started walking.

He gained a 2nd Holy Grail to add to his collection.
