Xemnas POV

It was difficult to tell how long I had spent in this empty room, more like a prison cell than a room. Still, I suppose it could have been worse, they could have stuck me in a cage or something as equally depressing. They had given no reason as to why they had taken me or even if I was going to leave alive. All I could do was wait and bide my time, escaping was probably out of the question. They did take measures to prevent me from leaving, I just hoped the others were doing alright. Though I'm sure Luna and Velvet had everything under control, I knew it was wise to leave to make them Vise Leaders.

"Xemnas. How are you enjoying the accommodations my Master has provided for you?" What kind of question was that?

"If you're talking about the lack of and the boorish attempt to distract me from the real reason you brought me here. Then no, I am not enjoying this so-called 'accommodation' that you are referring too." If that wasn't obvious enough for this man's thick skull, then nothing would be.

"Ha, ha, ha, ha, I like you already. I tried to convince her that she was being stingy, but she wouldn't listen." Oh, really now? Why did I find that so difficult to believe?

"Archer, that's enough. I didn't bring you here to kill you, only to make a deal." With that second voice, a girl materialized in the room I was in. A number of ones and zeroes until her body fully materialized. She had aqua colored eyes and long wavy black hair which she had tied with ribbons, giving her a sort of twin tail style. She was wearing a long-sleeved maroon shirt with a cross inscription on the front. A black mini skirt with long black leather boots.

"A deal? You went to all of this trouble to make a deal with me?" Did you put me and everyone else through this ordeal to make a deal? Unbelievable, what could she have possibly wanted so badly to go to all of this trouble?

"Well, I couldn't just waltz right in, okay? I didn't feel like fighting through an army of monsters just to get to you." Well, I suppose she had a point, the others would have eliminated her and Archer on sight.

"Oh boy, Master, you've done it now," her Servant chuckling as she started yelling at him to keep his mouth shut.

"We have a common goal, do we not?" What was she talking about? Unless she meant… "This Kingdom Hearts that you keep talking about, you say it has the power to grant hearts. What else does it do?" Just as I thought, but she wasn't a Nobody and she had a heart. However, Kingdom Hearts did grant me power when I willed for it, so I guess anything was possible. Not that I knew much about it in the first place.

"I suppose it could grant powers beyond the restoration of a heart, what is it that you desire, my child?" What could she possibly want that would be so precious to her that she would go to this length?

"Yes, Master. What is it that you want so badly that you've dragged everyone around with this fiasco." Ouch, harsh words from this girl's Servant. If it wasn't for Mash's explanation of who and what the Servants were, I would have no knowledge of these 'Heroic Spirits' as Mash put it.

"What does it matter to you, Archer? It's not like you would care anyway…" Her face turning red as she looked away as if Archer were standing right next to her. I wasn't sure what I was getting myself into, but I had a feeling I knew what it was about. This woman's desire…but that wasn't any of my business.

"Master…" So that's what she desires…or maybe it's slightly more complicated than that.

"Can it be done? What I ask of you?" Looking up at me, eyes filled with hope and something else. Something I couldn't quite grasp, determination, or might be just the will to believe that it was possible.

"Anything is possible with Kingdom Hearts, my dear, but may have your name since you apparently already know mine." I wanted to believe in whatever I had left that things would be different this time.

"Oh…of course! Rin Tohsaka and my Servant is Archer, but he's more than that…" Her voice trailing off, but I got the gist of it. Their personal life was none of my concern and was of no help to me. There's more than enough of Kingdom Hearts to go around if Rin and Archer want to assist.

"My True Name is EMIYA, I'm what you would call a Counter Guardian. Not like a normal Heroic Spirit, I made a deal with the planet in exchange for saving the people that I couldn't save. I would then go on to save humanity, but branded as the mastermind behind the war, I was executed. Fulfilling the contract, I was reborn as a Heroic Spirit, ironic that I would be called on again. However, I got lucky, Rin kept the pendant that I gave her. So I was summoned by her prayer, and here I am." I think I finally understood, but something wasn't adding up, how did Rin know Archer?

"EMIYA, we met before he became a Heroic Spirit, long story short, I couldn't completely undo his future. However, an alternate timeline summoning him by what seemed to be chance, I believed to be fate." Now that does bring back memories…

"So that's what you're planning…Rin I don't want you to change my future for me. You don't have to go to all that trouble for me." Archer took this moment to reveal himself and his approach, definitely enigmatic but fit for his title as a Counter Guardian. Archer had a muscular build with white hair and gray eyes. He wore black body armor, which consisted of a black tight and sleeveless shirt with silver accents. A metal plate on his collar with black pants that had two black straps on his thighs and one each on around his shins. Also wearing a sort of red coat which gave off a magical aura or something of that nature.

"It's more than that, if we can get this power then you and me…" Looking away again as if embarrassed by what she had just said. Mash had told me that her Master and herself were able to have a meaningful relationship since she was a Demi Servant, it wasn't impossible. However, Archer is a Servant. So Rin's bid for power would either to become a Heroic Spirit herself or to transcend the rules that bound them.

"I believe I understand your intentions and I would like to extend an invitation to you Rin Tohsaka and EMIYA as well. Ordinarily, I need Nobodies, but I would be a fool to pass up such powerful allies." Archer simply nodded in agreement while Rin smiled, all of us coming one step closer to achieving our goals.

"Now, Archer, I want you on your best behavior." Archer simply shook his head as Rin with one hand on her hip, started yelling at Archer about his attitude. I believe they will be just alright.
