AN: I have been watching gameplays of Samurai Remnant and it got me writing. Anyway enjoy the chapter.

Ch 19 New Allies Cometh

Ritsuka watches as his newly Contracted Servant makes easy prey of the Melromarc's knights.

"Ora!" Berserker tosses one of his Axes at the Enemy,

The Knights scattered, not wanting to get hit by the Axe. They dodged the Axe; however, Berserker didn't waste any time in his pursuit,

Berserker of Einherjar ran across the barren field, using his other Axe to cut down their Swords. He smirks, eyeing the Knights before them as their blades split.

"M-Monster!" A Knight panicked, not prepared or suited to fight a Berserker,

Some Dragon Knights went in, attacking the Leader of the Northern Resistance. They rushed for the Counter Force Servant, however instead of a frightened expression the Knights were expecting, it was something entirely different. "H-He's a fool, he can't defeat the Dragon Knights!" He stated,

"Just you wait, these Knights were hand-picked by Saber of Melromarc and trained by Lancer of Melromarc!" One Knight who works closely with the two stated, confident enough that the Dragon Knights will handle Berserker.

"Oya? So you're telling me that these black Knights are your Kingdom's strongest?" Berserker of Einherjar asked, walking to his second Axe and picking it up. When he did, he pointed his Axe at the new Enemies, he grinned at them. "Finally, a challenge!"

One of the Dragon Knights leaps in the air, raising his Sword at the Servant.

Berserker of Einherjar grins, bending his knees before leaping in the air. "ORA!" He swung his Axe, slashing the Dragon Knight in half, "HAHA!" He laughs,

The Counter Force Servant landed on top of another, crushing his helmet. He looks up, seeing more of the Dragon Knights heading his way. "Come! I will crush you all in your puny armor! Hahahahaha!" Berserker laughs, slamming his Axe against the black Sword before pushing one Knight back and slashing at another.

Ritsuka watches as his new Servant takes down many of the Dragon Knights on his own. Based on his fighting style, he's a European Hero. "Hmm?" His eyes shift to the Dragon Knight that Berserker sliced in half.

He approaches the body, seeing that there is no blood spilling out. "The Dragon Knights, they aren't Human," Ritsuka commented, seeing it disappear. "A Noble Phantasm? Similar to Ivan's Oprichniks?" He wonders who has this sort of Noble Phantasm.

Ritsuka looks up, seeing the Dragon Knights stepping back after a few of their comrades fell to Berserker of Einherjar.

"R-Retreat! We need to regroup our forces!" A Knight Captain sent out the orders to retreat, seeing there was no chance of victory here.

"Heyah!" Berserker slashed up, slashing a Dragon Knight diagonally on his chest. He swung down his Axe, glaring at the remaining Enemies. "Well? Is that all you got?"

Many of the Human Knights retreated from the Battle, the Dragoon Knights followed suit. Berserker clicked his tongue, seeing them escaping, knowing they were going to lose if they continued to fight. "Tch, Man I was hoping to wipe them all out. Oh well, nothing to do about it now."

From the other side of the Battle, Itsuki shot three projectiles at Agravain.

Agravain, using his Spear and Axe swatted them away. He swung his Axe, pushing the projectile to the left, then his Spear slashing the second projectile to the right,

Finally, he slashed upward, throwing the last projectile behind him.

"Damnit, damnit, DAMNIT ALL!" Heroic Knight Tristan cried out, seeing that no matter how much he had attacked, Agravain deflected each one.

"Such anger and obsession, you are a far cry from being Sir Tristan." Agravain ran forward, thrusting his Spear.

Heroic Knight Tristan intercepted Agravain's thrust with his Failnaught to counter the Spear. "AH!" He exclaims, switching from his Spear to his Axe.

Agravain leaps back into the flames. "HA!" He motions his two Weapons, commanding the flames and Chains hurling towards the Archer.

The Chains and flames are hurled at Itsuki, who has no way to defend himself. The Heroic Knight braced himself, taking on the Attack. "Ngh…" Itsuki gritted his teeth, seeing his HP bar only he can see turning red indicating a burn and the damage from the Chains impacting him. "Ngh…GGGGGAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!"

The Heroic Knight screamed, taking on a burn effect after the attack ceased.

After Agravain finished his attack, he heard some clanging of armor coming from the right.

"Heroic Knight Tristan! Heroic Knight Tristan!" Mald huffs, his armor dented and battered.

Itsuki groans, kneeling on the ground. His entire body burned from Agravain's attack. He looks up, hearing his Knight Aid calling him. "M-Mald…what is it?" The Archer asked the Knight.

"W-We lost our momentum; a strange Man just jumped out of the Q'ten Lo ship and took out half of the Dragon Knights." Heroic Knight Aid Gareth informed the leader of this Mission. "We have to retreat, our Forces are dwindling now that the Enemy has support."

The Heroic Knight's eyes widened; he gritted his teeth at the mere thought of retreating. "NO! WE HAVE TO STAY AND DEFEAT THEM!" Itsuki turns to Mald, not wanting to leave.

Gareth quickly joins up with her Brother, chasing Heroic Knight Aid Gareth. "Nii-sama! We have Heroic Knight Tristan's Forces on the run!" The Lancer informed the Saber next to her before turning her attention to the two members of the Three Heroes Roundtable. "I see you were able to beat Heroic Knight Tristan, Nii-sama."

"Damn you!" Heroic Knight Tristan stood up, only to pause. He heard a small army coming from the East and the North. He gritted his teeth, seeing their Forces weren't up to par against two Armies.

The green-haired Archer gritted his teeth, ultimately seeing they were at a disadvantage. He growls, standing up from the ground. "Retreat," He glares at the Servant menacingly,

Mald turns to the remaining Knights and Dragon Knights, ordering them to retreat.

"Hey! Wait!" Gareth was about to follow the two, however, Agravain held his Spear at his Sister.

"No, don't pursue them, Lancer." Agravain ordered, "There's no point in following the defeated, they will come back when they're ready." He said, seeing their plan already in motion.

"But-" Gareth was about to say something when she saw Harriet and their King leading the Underground Rebellion heading towards them.

The Knight turns to her Brother, walking to where their master is. "Come, Gareth, seems like Sir Naofumi and master has come in contact with new Allies. Let's greet them properly." Agravain stated, walking over to them.

"Hai, Nii-sama," Gareth responded, walking with her Brother.

Melromarc, Capital

"So, Heroic Knight Tristan has encountered the Chaldean master and the Resistance." Saber of Melromarc stated, watching through the seeing Spell.

Yukimura nodded, standing in the Roundtable room on standby. "Likely so, Saber." The Lancer looks over to the Spell, observing the retreating Heroic Knight. "Each day Ritsuka's Forces grow immensely. By now, they outnumber us Servant-wise, the Heroic Knights may be efficient in rivaling the Knights of the Roundtable."

"However, considering he has the other Roundtable members and the Rouge Servants Summoned, even with your plan to bring in the Beast God, we're outnumbered still." The Pseudo-Servant stated, seeing their victory as almost a slim chance.

The pale-haired Saber chuckles, seeing Yukimura's standpoint as a Military Person. "I understand your plight, however, I can assure you that everything is going to be alright in the end." Saber of Melromarc looks up at the door, where two of his Dragon Knights are standing guard. "Come in, Caster."

The bronze-haired Servant paused, hearing what the Anomaly King said. "Wait, you Summoned another Servant, Saber?" He asked him.

The doors opened, letting out a Servant wearing Asian clothing, like an Onmyoji. His features were covered by a long green veil with symbols however, his skin was pale through his maroon sleeves.

"I'm afraid you are wrong, Lancer. I was Summoned here before you arrived." The Caster informed the Last Sengoku Warrior. "That would put you-"

"When I was in the Eden Anomaly," Yukimura said, seeing it was enough time for Saber to Summon another Servant. He then looks back at the Servant, confused with him. "Hold on, if you were Summoned, then what were you doing when the Chaldeans arrived?" He asked.

Caster walks over to the table, looking at the Lancer Servant. "I wasn't the only Servant Summoned, you know." The masked Servant stated. "Both me and another were working behind the scenes for Saber's plan for it to come into fruition." He stated.

Saber smiles, turning to the Guardian of his true master. "Yes, both Caster and Berserker. They were preoccupied with the task I assign them to." The Anomaly King explains, looking at the Caster. "Caster here has assisted me in the creation of the Three Heroes Roundtable's 'Gift'."

"A simple procedure that took no effort," Caster explains to the Lancer Servant. "That reminds me, how are they? By now they should feel the effect of their Bodies and mentality of using their Noble Phantasms?" He asked, wanting to know what his experimentation and tampering had done to the Heroes.

Saber flips the screen for Caster to see, "See for yourself," The masked Onmyoji approaches, taking a look at Heroic Knight Tristan before seeing previous recordings of the Battle with the Three Heroes.

"So they have gone into their Berserk form already." Caster nodded, taking note of the Berserker tendency the Heroes have. "Out of the three of them, Heroic Knight Tristan's Berserk form has seeped into his original form." He commented, satisfied with the results.

"Though, Heroic Knight Gawain is not using it to an extent except for the one time…" Caster observed, assuming he knows what happens when he uses his Power.

Yukimura nodded, looking at the Caster before him. "I suspect that Heroic Knight Gawain has turned traitor during his capture with Ritsuka and his Servants." The Lancer assumes, telling Caster what he suspects. "He's been reluctant to use his Galatine for everything except for slashing and thrusting."

Saber turns to his Ally, seeing if he has any concerns over this matter. Caster merely nodded, taking a mental note, "I see…no matter, the end result whether or not Heroic Knight Gawain turns traitor will be the same in the end." Caster explains, having no worry.

"I knew Summoning you was the right decision, Caster." Saber of Melromarc said,

"I merely advance the Curse you placed when you named them," Caster said calmly, not paying any mind before receiving a message from Berserker. "Seems my assistance is needed back at the site, until then, Saber, Lancer." Caster turns around, heading back through the doors.

Once Caster of Melromarc left the Roundtable room, Yukimura turned to Saber. "Saber, the site Caster spoke of…it's the place, isn't it?"

Saber merely smirks, turning the screen around to observe Heroic Knight Tristan. "Heroic Knight Tristan's platoon has been cut in half. Send some additional troops to his aid," He ordered the Pseudo-Servant.

The bronze-haired Servant didn't need any answer from Saber, "Very well." Yukimura responded, leaving to inform the Knights.

Northern Territory

(Insert Fate Samurai Remnant ost The Witch and Her Happy Piglets)

After Heroic Knight Tristan and his entire Platoon retreated, the Underground Rebellion among the Great Heathen Army met up with them. However, they were seconds late for any combat to happen.

Ritsuka stood alone as Berserker met with his Resistance to discuss something. The flying ship above them slowly descends near him, prompting Ritsuka to wait for Naofumi's Party and whoever is controlling the ship to land.

"Wow, we really did miss the whole Battle," Harriet walks up to her master with Da Vinci and Galahad by her side.

Ritsuka turns to the three Servants heading towards him. "Yeah, Agravain and his Temporary Enforcement Knights did all the work." He said, eyeing Arthur who was speaking to Agravain, "Gareth handled the Person who stole her name, and Iwatani and his Party managed to find two new Servants."

Da Vinci looks up, amazed by the foreign ship landing on the ground. "Interesting, this ship must be a part of a Noble Phantasm. It's the only explanation since there are no flying ships around." The Caster said, "That would be impossible unless they know any levitation Spells,"

"Seems like we're getting the answers soon enough," Galahad spoke, looking at the Servant responsible for the support his master received. "Sir Naofumi and the others are making their way to us."

Ritsuka turns around, seeing the grey-haired Servant standing with Castoria and Raphtalia. "I have to admit, I expected only one Servant to arrive with you guys, but you came with two." He looks at the Archer, having a feeling they have met before.

Naofumi chuckles, "At first we thought Archer here is the Leader of the Resistance here in the Northern Territory." The Shielder explains how they met. "Turns out he was recently Summoned to Melromarc by I think you called it the Counter Force."

Melty nodded, supporting the Shielder. "We were in a pinch heading to the Resistance's Base until Archer saved us." The Second Princess stated, grateful to the Archer Servant.

"It's no big deal, Princess," Archer said, as humble as a Person could get.

"Archer?" Galahad asked, "I thought you were a Rider on the way you arrived on the Ship." The Shielder assumed that was his Class,

Archer of the Red Cliffs shook his head, "No, I'm definitely an Archer Class Servant." He said before paying his attention to Ritsuka. "It's been a while, Lord Fujimaru. I'm not sure if you remember me but I'm from the Via Regalia Realm during Traum."

Ritsuka's eyes widen, now remembering why he was familiar. "Right, you were the Archer who commanded the Archers during the Battle with the Restoration Realm and the one who trained with us." He said with a smile, "I didn't expect that you might come,"

"As Princess Melty says it, it must be Fate at work," Archer commented, crossing his arms. "In any case, I'm Archer of the Red Cliffs; I'll be serving under you now, master." He said, skipping the formalities of a Servant Contract.

Ritsuka's Command Seals glowed, indicating that a master/Servant Contract has been formed. "Happy to have you aboard again, Archer." He said, happy to have another Ally join them.

"Archer of the Red Cliffs…you wouldn't happen to be-" Da Vinci was about to ask Archer's True Name when he held his hand at her.

"I'd appreciate it if you keep that to yourself," Archer said, not wanting to reveal himself yet. "We are Servants after all, and from what I got from Lord Iwatani, your Opponents are Modern Humans who got turned into Pseudo-Servants." He said, being caught up by the situation. "They should have knowledge on us Servants from their History Classes in their Worlds."

Harriet and Galahad look at Naofumi's group, seeing they caught their Ally to speed. "I see you got Archer up to speed on the ongoings here." The Ruler stated,

Galahad shrugs, not minding the shared information with the Counter Force Servant. "Well, it saves us the trouble of explaining it to him, Ruler." He chuckles.

"We only told him a few things," Castoria replied, joining in the conversation. "It'll take a whole lot longer to fully explain everything." The Lostbelt Servant stated.

"Oho! Now this is a splendid Army if I see one!" Berserker laughs, walking back to his new master and Allies. "Servants, Humans, Demi-Humans, what a load! Master, you have a knack for allying yourself with a variety of People!" The Counter Force Servant chuckles.

Raphtalia smiles, introducing Berserker to everyone. "Everyone, this is Berserker of Einherjar. He leads the Resistance here in the North and the one we've been looking for." The Demi-Human informed the group.

"Berserker of Einherjar? A Norse Servant then," Da Vinci commented, taking note of the many unique Servants here in this Anomaly.

The iron-haired Servant gazed over at Da Vinci, his eyes suddenly turned into hearts, and knelt in front of Da Vinci. "Eh?" Da Vinci paused, looking complex.

"Oh you beautiful Lady, I am truly blessed to lay eyes on you!" Berserker smiles like a Puppy at the Caster Servant. "I'm sure you are a Goddess sent by the Gods to meet me. My Goddess, would you do me a favor and become my Fourth Wife?" He asked, proposing to the Technical Head of Chaldea.

"EEEEEEEEEEHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!?"

"Oh my, what a flatterer; I can tell you have an eye for beauty." Da Vinci laughs, appreciating Berserker's comments. "However, I have to decline. I have obligations to my master after all, plus I don't think your Wives would appreciate that you're cheating on them." The Renaissance Woman commented.

Harriet glares at Berserker of Einherjar, disapproving of his attitude. "So this is the type of Servant that's leading the Resistance here." She stated.

"Calm down, Ruler. It's nothing to get yourself worked up." Galahad calms the Ruler Servant, not wanting to insight a fight,

Melty approaches Ritsuka, seeing Naofumi isn't paying any mind to Berserker's proposal to Da Vinci. "Hey, Fujimaru-sama, is it alright that Berserker is hitting on your Servant?" The Second Princess asked.

Ritsuka could only chuckle, seeing this play out countless times in Chaldea. "Servants tend to do whatever they want in their Summoning that they can't do in their previous lives." He explains to the Princess. "Try not to pay it to mind, Princess."

The iron-haired Berserker sighs, standing from the ground. "Heh, don't think I won't stop pursuing you. I'm determined to make you my Wife." Berserker winks at Da Vinci who just smiles it off.

"And I'll keep denying it, sorry not sorry." Da Vinci replied, denying his gesture.

"Well, now that things are calmer here. I do believe we have some matters to discuss." Berserker commented, getting a bit more serious. "We are going to fight together against Melromarc's Armies and share the same foe. But it doesn't mean we have some concerns that need to be addressed."

Harriet agreed with the Berserker of Einherjar, "I agree, we may form a Contract with Ritsuka. But our duty is to the People we found ourselves with," The Ruler stated, turning to Ritsuka and the others. "I know you have a way to communicate with someone at a far distance, Ritsuka. Is it possible to do so with the Heroes Partisans?"

Ritsuka ponders, turning to Castoria who made a communication device before. "Arturia?" He asked her.

"Oh, right! Yes, yes, I do." Castoria looks around, searching for the gem she used to contact Ritsuka and the others before. She took on out, showing it to the others. "Here, I gave one to Her Majesty just before we departed for Melromarc."

"Seems like this discussion will be important." Archer of the Red Cliffs stated, "However, let's not do this here. It's best to have it somewhere more private."

Galahad nodded, "Yes, if we're not careful Heroic Knight Tristan might be coming back." The Shielder stated.

Berserker of Einherjar nodded, showing the way to his Village. "My Village is fortified and I guarantee that nobody can enter it without permission." He stated, informing them where they could have the meeting. "It's just a few meters walk from here,"

"Then it's settled, let's head to Berserker's Village," Ritsuka said, announcing to everyone. (End Song)

Right between the Borders of the Northern Territory, Heroic Knight Tristan's Platoon has placed a Camp when they are supposed to rest on a complete mission. However, it was now a staging ground, where they waited for reinforcements.

A loud clash came from Heroic Knight Tristan's tent. "AAAAAAGGGGGGGHHHHH! I CAN'T BELIEVE WE JUST RETREATED!" Itsuki shouted, kicking another crate in anger, "Just who think they are? I'm the one who's supposed to win! Not them, not him!"

Itsuki huffs, his hands shaking before realizing something. "I-It's him…Fairy Knight Tristan, heh….hehehahahahaha….if she's not going to show her face to me, I'm going after the next best thing…" He laughs, and his eyes go crazy from a thought he just had. "Fujimaru…Ritsuka Fujimaru…heh…HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"

"Fairy Knight Tristan! I'll take whatever win I can get against you!" Itsuki laughs, maniacally in the sky, not aware his Failnaught was glowing darker.
