Chapter 30:
Scene Change: Kurosaki Household: Early Morning
Ichigo was fast asleep, surrounded by all his wonderful girls. He peacefully enjoyed his slumber when, suddenly, he woke up, feeling someone reaching out to him through the peerage link.
"Hello?"
"Ichigo. I'm sorry to wake you at this hour, but I need you to come over here right now," Yasaka said.
"Okay, Yasaka," Ichigo replied. He carefully untangled himself from the girls, making sure not to wake any of them. Once he managed to get out of bed, he quickly put on some clothes and opened a Garganta to the Yasaka Shrine.
Scene Change: Yasaka Shrine
Ichigo jumped out of the Garganta and saw Yasaka, dressed in an oversized T-shirt with the number 15 on the side.
"Is that one of mine?" Ichigo asked.
Yasaka blushed and whacked him on the shoulder. "Focus."
"What's so important that you needed to call me?" Ichigo asked.
"Amaterasu-sama requested to see you immediately," Yasaka said as she walked toward the door.
"Where are you going?" Ichigo asked.
"She asked to see you alone," Yasaka replied.
"Oh, ok." Yasaka slid the door open and left. Ichigo waited a few seconds before Amaterasu and another being appeared. The other being was outlined and appeared similar to Ichigo as if it were his shadow (1).
"Hello, Ichigo."
"Hello, Amaterasu. Who is your guest?"
"My name is Alaya. I am the collective unconsciousness of mankind. My job is to steer humanity away from extinction," Alaya explained.
"Okay. So what's so urgent that you had to wake me at this hour?" Ichigo asked.
"Do you remember your conversation with Emiya Kiritsugu about the Holy Grail War?" Amaterasu asked.
"I do. Yasaka mentioned it's happening in a few decades."
"Wrong. The Fifth Holy Grail War has started." Alaya said.
"So… you want me to participate in the Fifth Holy Grail War?" Ichigo guessed.
"Not exactly," Amaterasu said.
"As Kiritsugu mentioned, the Holy Grail was corrupted. It was corrupted by a servant from the Third Holy Grail War. This servant is Angra Mainyu. When he was killed, his essence was absorbed by the Holy Grail, corrupting it." Alaya explained.
"How?" Ichigo asked.
"Angra Mainyu is the physical embodiment of 'All the World's Evil'. When his essence was absorbed by the Holy Grail…"
"The Holy Grail became the new embodiment of All the World's Evil."
"Correct. Now, at the end of the Fourth Holy Grail War, Matou Zouken managed to find small fragments of the corrupted Holy Grail and implanted them into his adopted granddaughter, Matou Sakura. At some point, Sakura activated those fragments and gained an unknown amount of power. We aren't certain if she's being controlled by Angra Mainyu or if this is her own free will." Amaterasu said.
"She's planning to summon her own set of Servants," Alaya added.
"How?" Ichigo asked.
"Due to the Holy Grail fragments implanted in her, Sakura has become similar to the Holy Grail itself. This allows her to summon Servants without any repercussions."
"Now, what does this have to do with me?" Ichigo asked.
"We believe you're powerful enough to support your own set of Servants," Amaterasu said.
"Wait. Wouldn't it be easier for me to ally with the other Servants that are already summoned?"
"We believe it will be easier for you to summon your own Servants instead of trying to ally with the others," Amaterasu explained.
"Why?"
"It's possible that those Servants were summoned using a catalyst," Alaya answered.
"A catalyst?"
"A catalyst is an object used to summon a Servant related to that object. Some Servants summoned using a catalyst may be personally incompatible with you. For example, if you used the wrong catalyst, you might summon a killer who supports Sakura's cause," Amaterasu said.
"I see. Are we summoning here?" Ichigo asked.
"No," Amaterasu said, and the three of them were teleported away.
Scene Change: Fuyuki City: Abandoned House: Basement
Ichigo, Amaterasu, and Alaya appeared in an empty basement.
"Um… where are we?" Ichigo asked.
"An abandoned house in Fuyuki," Amaterasu answered.
"So how am I going to summon these Servants?" Ichigo asked.
"You need to use your blood to create a giant summoning circle," Alaya said, handing Ichigo a sheet of paper with a detailed summoning circle on it. Ichigo flipped the page over to reveal a chant. "Say the chant and slowly direct your reiatsu to your blood," Alaya instructed before they disappeared.
Ichigo sighed as he summoned Yorugetsu and slit his left wrist. He used his blood-bending—a subset of water-bending—to create the elaborate ritual circle. It took a few minutes to complete. When he was finished, he stood at the center of an eight-pointed star, each edge connected to a smaller circle, each one representing a Servant class. Ichigo changed into his Shinigami form.
"Everyone ready?" Ichigo asked.
"Yes, Ichigo. We've prepared the reiatsu for the ritual and the Servants," Kyōka reported. Ichigo took a deep breath, focusing his reiatsu toward the summoning circle, and began to read the chant Alaya provided.
"For the elements silver and iron. For the foundation, stone, and the archduke of contracts. Granted by the blessings of Alaya. Close the gates of the cardinal directions." The summoning circle began to glow red.
"Come forth from the Crown and follow the forked road to the Kingdom." The summoning circle grew brighter.
"Fill. Fill. Fill. Fill. Fill. Repeat five times. But when each is filled, destroy it." The energy from the summoning circle intensified.
"Set. Heed my words. My will creates your body, and our swords will forge our new destiny. If you heed my call and obey my will and reason, then answer me, I hereby swear…
That I shall be all that is good in the world…
That I shall defeat all that is evil in the world…
You seven heavens, clad in the three great words of power, come forth from the circle of binding... Guardian of the Scales!" Ichigo finished the chant. The entire room glowed bright red, stirring up a cloud of dust.
The summoning seal stopped glowing, and the dust settled. Ichigo could now see the outlines of eight Servants.
The first servant is a female with blonde hair and bluish-gray eyes. She is dressed in armor and wields a purple weapon similar to a spear.
The second servant is a female with pale skin and golden eyes. She is wore jet-black armor and holds a black and red sword.
The third servant is a female with long golden hair and crimson eyes. She is wearing a black crop top adorned with red symbols over her body. She also wears a golden skirt of some type (2).
The fourth servant is a beautiful woman with long purple hair and red eyes, dressed in a black full-body outfit that highlights her curvaceous body. In her hand is a red spear.
The fifth servant is a tall woman with a curvy figure, with notably large breasts. She has long purple hair that reaches her feet. She wears a latex bodysuit under warrior clothes and armor. In one hand, she holds a katana, and in the other, a bow.
The sixth servant is a man with sky blue/white hair. He is dressed in a white robe and wields a black staff with multicolored ribbons wrapped around it.
The seventh servant is another woman with fair skin, blonde hair, and blue eyes. She is dressed in black armor with red wings, giving her the appearance of a black angel. She holds a staff in one hand, and on her side, there is what appears to be a pistol (3).
The eighth servant is a woman with knee-length pink hair and three pairs of giant bat wings on her back. She is wearing a red Victorian-era dress.
"I ask you: Are you my master?" All eight of them said. Ichigo couldn't reply. He was shocked when he realized who the eighth servant was.
"I... Ichigo!?" The eighth servant yelled, stunned to see him standing there. They weren't the only ones shocked.
"Myrddin?" the second servant said.
"My king?" the sixth servant replied.
"Let's go upstairs, and we can sit down for the impending conversation," Ichigo suggested.
Scene Change: Living Room
Everyone moved upstairs and sat in chairs. The third servant glared at the chair before summoning her own. It looked more like a throne than a chair. Ichigo set a pot of tea and nine cups, ready to be used, and served everyone a cup.
"So, let's begin with introductions," Ichigo suggested.
"I guess I'll go first. My name is Jeanne d'Arc, and I was summoned to the Ruler Class."
"I am Artoria Pendragon, King of Knights and Once and Future King of Britannia. I was summoned to the Saber Class."
"I am Gilgamesh, King of Uruk and King of Heroes. I was summoned to the Archer Class."
"I am Scáthach, Queen of the Land of Shadows. I was summoned to the Lancer Class."
"I am Minamoto no Raikou, also known as Minamoto no Yorimitsu. I was summoned to the Rider Class."
"As my king previously mentioned, I am Myrddin Emrys. I was summoned to the Caster Class."
"I am Angela Ziegler. I was summoned to the Assassin Class."
"Finally, I am Akasha Bloodriver. I was summoned to the Berserker Class."
"I am Kurosaki Ichigo, your master."
"I don't sense a connection to the Holy Grail or Command Seals on you," Jeanne pointed out.
"That is because the Holy Grail wasn't used for your summoning."
"What?" Jeanne asked. All the other servants were curious as well.
"Yes. I was requested by Alaya to summon all of you without the Holy Grail."
"But that would require an absurd amount of prana (4) to supply us," Jeanne replied. All the other servants nodded in agreement.
"First off, due to my unique heritage, I can produce an abundance of reiatsu, even though I am restricted to my human body."
"Which would explain why I feel so much prana from you," Myrddin commented.
"Anyways, allow me to explain the situation," Ichigo said. "It all started in the Third Holy Grail War. Instead of a Berserker servant being summoned, an unusual servant was summoned. He was known as Angra Mainyu, summoned under the class Avenger."
"So that was the mysterious servant summoned during that Holy Grail War," Artoria mumbled.
"Wait. You were a servant during the Third Holy Grail War?" Ichigo asked.
"I was. That war was very unique for a few reasons, besides the appearance of Avenger."
"What else?" Jeanne asked.
"Due to a unique situation with my master in the Third Holy Grail War, the hero known as Artoria Pendragon was split into two."
"How did that work?" Scáthach asked.
"Many magus families can only pass down their traits to one heir. However, my former master's family had a special trait that allowed them to pass their trait down to two twins, making them both heirs to their family's magic. They both were there for the summoning of their servant. Due to this trait, it split the servant into two: one half for one half of the master (6)." Artoria explained.
"So, what are you then?" Scáthach asked.
"I am a version of Artoria Pendragon who was a strict king, who many believed was a tyrant. While the other version of Artoria Pendragon was a kind king, who many believed was a saint."
"This is why I was allowed to be summoned," Myrddin said.
"What do you mean?" Saber asked.
"I am technically still alive. I am currently trapped in a place on the Reverse Side of the World. Due to this, I technically cannot die and cannot be summoned as a servant."
"But you are here," Ichigo stated.
"I am here temporarily. Your true Caster servant allowed me a few days to be here before she appears," Myrddin explained.
"What are you here for then?" Artoria asked.
"I am here to reunite the two halves back together."
"How?" Myrddin silently smiled.
"Damn foresight," Artoria muttered, glaring at Myrddin.
"Back to the explanation: When Angra Mainyu was killed, his essence was sent to the Holy Grail," Ichigo said.
"And he ended up corrupting the Holy Grail," Scáthach guessed.
"Correct. This was discovered in the Fourth Holy Grail War. Emiya Kiritsugu, master of Artoria Pendragon, discovered the corrupted Holy Grail and destroyed it."
"Despite his efforts in destroying the Holy Grail, it managed to survive," Artoria concluded.
"Correct. Fragments of the corrupted Grail managed to survive Artoria's Noble Phantasm, Excalibur." Artoria looked quite surprised.
"What happened next?" Akasha asked.
"Those remaining fragments were collected and implanted into a girl, corrupting her. She is planning to summon her own set of servants to help her destroy the world," Ichigo said. "So, any questions?"
"The Holy Grail will no longer grant wishes?" Artoria asked.
"Correct," Ichigo answered, pausing for a moment before continuing. "Anyways, knowing the situation, are all of you willing to help me fix this mess?"
"I am," Jeanne said.
"So will I," everyone else agreed, except for Gilgamesh.
"Gilgamesh?"
"I will not," Gilgamesh declared, rising from her throne, causing it to dissipate. "I am Gilgamesh, King of Uruk and King of Heroes. If you wish for me to serve you, then defeat me in combat, Kurosaki-Yamamoto-Shiba Ichigo, King of Souls, Hero of the Winter War, and Thousand-Year Blood War."
Ichigo sighed.
"Very well, we shall fight."
Kyōka appeared, holding the Trainer in her hands. She pointed it at everyone, sending them inside the Trainer.
Scene Change: Trainer
Everyone materialized in an empty plain.
"Where are we?" Gilgamesh asked.
"This is something I call the Trainer," Ichigo explained. "It's a pocket dimension that allows us to go all out."
"Interesting." Gilgamesh noticed something above Ichigo's head—two bars, one red labeled "HP" and one blue labeled "MP." "What are those bars above you?"
"The HP bar represents your health, and the MP bar represents how much magical energy you have left."
"But the MP bar is irrelevant since we are connected to you…unless…"
"Unless the Trainer can limit the maximum magical energy we can have," Ichigo said as he summoned Yorugetsu. "Stride forth to the gates of Heaven and use your might to tear the Heavens asunder. Charge forth to the gates of Hell and destroy the chains of the damned. Enter the doors of your humanity and use your strength to shatter fate… ZANGETSU!" Ichigo released Zangetsu. "Shall we begin?"
"Very well," Gilgamesh said as she summoned a pair of golden twin blades from a golden ripple.
"Jeanne, a countdown please," Ichigo asked.
"Very well," Jeanne replied. "3…2…1…GO!"
Ichigo and Gilgamesh charged at each other.
"Impressive," Artoria remarked.
"Yes, both have incredible sword-wielding abilities, but they are at a disadvantage," Raikou commented.
"How so?" Akasha asked.
"Both are accustomed to fighting opponents who wield a single weapon, not an opponent who dual-wields," Artoria observed. Ichigo found an opening in Gilgamesh's defense and kicked her in the chest, sending her flying back.
"You're good, Master," Gilgamesh said, standing and brushing herself off.
"Thank you, Gilgamesh," Ichigo replied.
Golden portals began to appear around Gilgamesh. Weapons—ranging from swords to spears to polearms—emerged from the portals. Gilgamesh pointed her sword at Ichigo, and the weapons began to fire at him. Ichigo dodged or blocked them with Zangetsu. Gilgamesh smiled, continuing her assault while hiding her true attack.
"Either she's trying to hit me with these weapons, or she's looking for a weak point to exploit," Ichigo thought.
Gilgamesh opened a portal beneath Ichigo and fired a halberd. Ichigo leaped away just in time, but Gilgamesh seized the moment to shoot a golden chain toward Ichigo's back. He dodged, but the chain curved and began chasing him. As it drew closer, Gilgamesh kept firing more weapons at Ichigo. Ichigo instinctively used Zangetsu to block the chain, but it slid around the blade and wrapped around his arm. Before he could react, more chains shot out from the portal and bound him.
"Oh," Gilgamesh said as she floated toward Ichigo. Ichigo struggled against the chains. "I wouldn't bother if I were you. These chains are not ordinary. This is Enkidu, designed to prevent gods trapped in them from escaping. The more divine you are, the stronger the chains become."
"I see," Ichigo said.
"So, Master, can you escape Enkidu, or will you admit defeat?" Gilgamesh asked.
"If I weren't a Divine Being, Enkidu wouldn't be as strong as it is now," Ichigo mentally reasoned. "According to Enkidu, I must be divine enough to be considered a Divine Being. Maybe it's because I'm a Shinigami—'Death God' in translation. But what if I were a Hollow? Would Enkidu see me as a Divine Being or a Beast?" Ichigo decided to test his theory.
"Soy la furia que destruye el Cielo [I am the fury that destroys Heaven]." Ichigo's Hollow reiatsu began to surge and surround him. Gilgamesh took a few cautious steps back.
"So you have more tricks up your sleeve," she commented.
"Coráge la furia que destruyó los nueve círculos del infierno [I am the rage that destroyed the nine circles of Hell]." Ichigo continued as his Hollow reiatsu formed into a black and red pillar. Gilgamesh noticed that Enkidu was beginning to shake.
"Yo soy el que se atreve a desafiar al destino [I am the one who dared to challenge fate]." Ichigo declared as the Hollow reiatsu solidified into an egg around him.
"Enkidu!" Gilgamesh shouted. More chains shot out, wrapping around the Hollow reiatsu egg.
"Resurrección Luna Nueva! [Resurrection of the New Moon!]" Ichigo cried. The Hollow reiatsu egg and Enkidu exploded. Broken links scattered everywhere before turning into golden reiatsu.
"Gilgamesh, it's round two!" Ichigo roared, lunging toward her.
Gilgamesh created more golden portals and fired weapons at Ichigo at a much faster rate. Ichigo used Sonído to easily dodge them. Gilgamesh tried a variety of techniques, but all of them failed to land. Ichigo reappeared behind her and fired a Cero, catching her by surprise. Gilgamesh attempted to counter with a weapon, but Ichigo charged at her, launching a flurry of attacks with his twin daitōs. His strikes were too fast for her to react.
"Getsuga Jūjishō!" Ichigo yelled, swinging his swords down.
Gilgamesh couldn't defend in time, and the attack hit her directly, causing a massive explosion. Ichigo stood still, waiting for the dust to settle. When the dust cleared, he was surprised to see Gilgamesh still standing—out of breath, her armor nearly destroyed, and her HP bar reading only 1.
"Master, this has been the most pleasurable fight I've had in a long time," Gilgamesh said, smiling despite her condition. "Even if you lose, I will serve you in your mission."
"Thank you, Gilgamesh."
"NOW THEN!" Gilgamesh yelled as she extended her hand, and a new weapon appeared. The weapon had an unusual shape that didn't resemble any weapon Ichigo knew. It had a grip and handguard and was the same length as a longsword, but the section where the blade should be deviates from the form of a normal-edged weapon. The blade itself and the tip of the sword spun in a spiral shape and were dull. It resembled a cylindrical, drill-shaped pillar made up of three independently rotating segments engraved with crimson cuneiform lettering. The segments spun slowly in alternating directions like querns: the middle segment spun clockwise, while the top and bottom segments spun counterclockwise.
"What is that?" Ichigo asked.
"This is my most powerful and precious weapon inside my Gate of Babylon: Ea. Prepare your final attack, Master. For this final strike will split the Heaven and the Earth." Ichigo took a deep breath, focusing all his remaining energy on his final attack.
"Gilgamesh… you ready?"
"Oh, Master, I am," Gilgamesh replied, raising Ea. Ichigo scratched his wrists on top of his horns and began to channel as much reiatsu as he could into his twin daitō. He also began to form a Gran Rey Cero on top of his skull.
Gilgamesh twisted her hips, bringing Ea back, ready to strike. Ea's three cylinders began to spin rapidly, gathering red energy around them.
"Getsuga Luna Negra!" Ichigo shouted as he unleashed his fusion attack.
"Enuma Elish!" Gilgamesh yelled, thrusting Ea forward. The red cyclone shot out towards the Getsuga Luna Negra. The two attacks collided. The ground began to crumble, and the sky seemed to tear apart.
"Ichigo, both of your attacks are destabilizing the pocket dimension!" Kyōka screamed. "I am ejecting everyone right now!" With that, everything glowed green, then black.
Scene Change: Living Room
Everyone reappeared outside the Trainer.
"Everyone okay?" Ichigo asked.
"Yes, Master," everyone replied.
Ichigo turned to Kyōka. "Is the trainer okay?"
"I'm not sure. It's showing me an error message." Kyōka handed the trainer to Ichigo. He noticed a notification on the screen.
"Error. Saved data corrupted." Beneath that was an OK button. Ichigo clicked the button, and the notification disappeared. He handed the Trainer back to Kyōka.
"Ichigo, I'm going to run some tests on the Trainer to see if it's safe to use," Kyōka said.
"Thank you, Kyōka."
"No problem, Ichigo." Kyōka returned to his mindscape with the Trainer. Ichigo turned to Gilgamesh.
"What was that attack?"
"Enuma Elish is my strongest attack. It's an Anti-World Noble Phantasm. If used correctly, I can destroy an entire world, as I demonstrated with the Trainer."
"Wow. Does anyone else have something as crazy as that?" Ichigo asked.
"I might have something else," Gilgamesh admitted.
"What else?"
"Well, my sword Enki can unleash a tsunami capable of destroying the world, but it requires seven days to be deployed."
"Anything else?"
"Um… I don't know."
"What do you mean you don't know?"
"It's impossible for me to know everything in my Gate of Babylon."
"Gate of Babylon?"
"It's the storehouse I built to store all the treasures I've collected from across the world."
"I see." Ichigo turned to his other servants. "Does anyone else have something as overpowered as Ea and Enki?"
"I might," Akasha said, stepping forward. "Before I explain, Master, could I have some of your blood?"
"Very well." Ichigo tilted his head to one side as Akasha walked up to him. She licked his neck a few times before biting down.
"Um… Master," Scáthach said.
"Yes, Scáthach?"
"Why are you allowing Berserker to drink your blood?"
"Because she asked." Scáthach stared at Ichigo. "She is technically my girlfriend/mother-in-law, and she's a vampire," Ichigo admitted.
"But as servants, we already get energy from you," Scáthach replied. Akasha stopped drinking his blood. The wounds immediately healed.
"There's a reason, Scáthach," Berserker said, licking the remaining blood from her lips. She then knelt before Ichigo. "I, Akasha Bloodriver, summoned under the class of Berserker, swear this to you, my Master. I ask of you, my Master, to be the keeper of my chains. I shall be the monster of legend. Order me, and I will follow. Order me to kill, and I shall. Order me to hunt, and I shall hunt them all until the end of time."
"I accept your oath." Suddenly, Ichigo felt something burned itself onto his hand. He looked to see a crimson five-pointed seal appearing on it. Confused, Ichigo looked at Berserker.
"Allow me to explain," Berserker said, standing up. "In the Throne of Heroes, there are alternate versions of Alucard/Dracula from different universes. Normally, I'm impossible to summon because I don't have a legend. However, during a conflict long ago, in this universe, I designed my Rosario to be capable of stealing the body and powers of my universe's Alucard. This allowed me to seal the powers of these alternate versions of Alucard/Dracula when I was summoned." All the servants looked at Akasha as if she were an abomination.
"Getting back to the question at hand," Ichigo said. "What overpowered Noble Phantasm do you have?"
"It's called Armata de sânge [The Blood Army]. For me to use this Noble Phantasm, it requires a two-person rule."
"A two-person rule?" Gilgamesh asked.
"It's a safety procedure that requires the actions of two people to advance, in this case, Master and myself."
"What does it do?"
"It releases 2.5 million corrupted minions to do my bidding. They are all obedient to me. My minions can be killed, but they will regenerate and rejoin the group. If my minions devour anything with blood, the victim will be transformed into another minion and join Armata de sânge." Berserker explained.
"I see," Ichigo said, understanding Berserker's Noble Phantasm.
"Since we're talking about Noble Phantasms, everyone, please share yours," Ichigo asked. Saber presented her sword.
"This is Excalibur. It is considered an Anti-Fortress Noble Phantasm. By using your energy, I can unleash a large blast of energy, similar to your Getsuga Tenshō."
"My main Noble Phantasm is Gáe Bolg." Scáthach spun her spear a few times to emphasize her point. "I can use it in two ways." She stabbed the spear forward. "When I stab my opponent, Gáe Bolg is an Anti-Unit Noble Phantasm. It will automatically adjust to pierce my opponent's heart. It's very difficult to dodge due to its ability to reverse cause and effect, making it so that the act of your heart being pierced causes you to be stabbed by Gáe Bolg. The other way is known as Soaring Spear that Strikes with Death. When thrown, Gáe Bolg becomes an Anti-Army Noble Phantasm. Upon being thrown, Gáe Bolg transforms into 30 other copies of itself. However, this version of Gáe Bolg doesn't carry the curse of reversing cause and effect."
"I see. What about your other one?"
"My other one is called The Gate of Skye. It is also an Anti-Army Noble Phantasm. This one allows me to open a gate to the Land of Shadows. Everyone is sucked into the gate and is instantly killed."
"I'll go next," Raikou said. "I have one Anti-Army Noble Phantasm. The first one is called Ox-King Storm Call. I can temporarily summon replicas of Sakata Kintoki, Watanabe no Tsuna, Urabe no Suetake, and Usui Sadamitsu, and all of us will attack the enemy."
"I don't have one, but I am knowledgeable in magic," Myddrin said.
"Can you cast various spells around this location to prevent others from detecting this location and remaining unaware of the magic being used here?"
"Sure," Myddrin said, as he began to cast spells.
"Then I will go," Jeanne said. "I have two Noble Phantasms. The first one is a Barrier Noble Phantasm called Luminosité Eternelle [Eternal Brightness]. It projects a barrier to protect all behind me, and over time, it slowly heals everyone. The strength of Luminosité Eternelle correlates to my flag. The more damage the barrier takes, the more destroyed my flag becomes, which weakens the barrier."
"I see. What's the other one?"
"It is a Suicidal Noble Phantasm."
"What!"
"It's called La Pucelle [The Maid]. By sacrificing my life, I can summon the fire that killed me to destroy something. However, the target of my flames must be something I need to destroy to save something else."
"I see." Ichigo stood up. "I swear to you, on my pride, and as your master, I will never force you to use that Noble Phantasm."
"Thank you, Master."
"I guess it's my turn," Angela said. Everyone turned to Angela, who had been quiet since her introduction. "I have two Noble Phantasms. The first one is a Barrier-type called Heroes Never Die. It allows me to fully heal anyone, even if they're dead. However, there must be a body present to do this."
"Interesting. But what's the other one?"
"It doesn't have a name, but it allows me to call for my four pets." Angela took out four capsules from her bag and threw them. Black smoke was released from the capsules. The smoke cleared, revealing six women. All of them were dressed in similar armor to Angela.
The first one appeared to be a cyborg ninja wearing red and black armor (5), with some gaps showing lightly tanned skin and blood-red eyes.
The second one had brown eyes and hair, with a scar across her left eye. Her suit was black and red, and she had a pistol on her right side and some sort of bracelet on her left wrist.
The third one had pale skin, golden eyes, and violet hair. She wore an all-black suit with matching black arm guards and leg armor and carried an automatic rifle.
The fourth one was completely covered in armor, with a skull mask on her face and black robes connected to her suit. She held two shotgun-like guns in her arms.
"Hello, my pets," Angela said with a smile.
"Hello, Mistress. How may we serve you?" they all said.
"While I remain your Mistress, he will be your Master. Treat his orders like they are my own." Angela instructed.
"Yes, Mistress," they replied.
"Good girls."
"What are their names?" Ichigo asked. The first girl stepped forward.
"My name is Genji Shimada. I can be considered a Saber but also an Assassin." Genji stepped back as the next girl stepped up.
"I am Hana Song. I can be a Rider." Hana stepped back as the next girl stepped up.
"I am Amélie Guillard. I am an Assassin." Amélie stepped back as the next girl stepped up.
"I am Gabriela Reyes. I can be considered a Berserker." Gabriela stepped back.
"Wait. Based on your Noble Phantasm, you're a healer. How did you end up as an Assassin?" Ichigo asked. Genji smiled a smile that promised pain.
"Genji. Chair." Genji immediately ran behind Angela and went on all fours. Angela sat down on Genji's back.
"Allow me to tell you a story," Angela said. "In the far future, science evolved to an extraordinary degree. We had these robots called Omics, highly advanced robots with Artificial Intelligence capabilities. We lived in peace until something caused all the Omnics to start attacking everyone. This was known as the Omnic Crisis. The United Nations formed Overwatch, an organization to stop the Omnic Crisis. I was recruited as a founding member of Overwatch due to my medical expertise. Despite joining Overwatch, I never fought the Omnics; I was in charge of first aid. But many people died under my care. Each death took a toll on me. In my free time, I would experiment and invent ways to prevent my patients from dying. Many of these experiments would've been deemed inhumane, and I would've been thrown in prison if discovered. Eventually, Overwatch stopped the Omnic Crisis." Angela paused and took a sip of tea.
"We had a decade of peace. During this time, I continued my experiments within Overwatch. Overwatch remained a peacekeeping organization but was soon forced to form a covert unit called Blackwatch to maintain that peace. Due to my overwhelming medical knowledge, I was assigned to both Overwatch and Blackwatch. While working with Overwatch, I was known as Mercy. While working with Blackwatch, I was known as the Black Nurse. During one operation, we encountered Genji, a member of the Shimada Clan. The Shimada Clan was a century-old family skilled in martial arts, swordplay, and archery. I took him back to my lab and used an experimental procedure, injecting him with a batch of nanobots to repair his eternal injuries. I had to leave for an Overwatch mission, and when I returned, the nanobots had done more than expected. Genji had recovered but had been turned into a female. I added cybernetic enhancements to further enhance her abilities and to keep her under control if necessary. Soon, I realized she had lost most of her memories but retained her combat skills. I trained her into my little obedient pet." Angela stood up. "Genji, switch with Gabriela." Genji stood up and walked away, and Gabriela took her place.
"I began to hear rumors of Blackwatch's existence. I decided to leave Overwatch and Blackwatch before the secret was truly revealed. My pet Genji decided to follow me. In the underground, I was known as the Witch Doctor due to my vast knowledge of healing, being willing to heal anyone for a price, and maintaining absolute secrecy around my existence. I was a 'legend' and 'myth' to the medical community. A few months later, I was contacted by Talon, particularly an Omnic named Maximilien. He wanted to hire Genji to train their agents to counter both Overwatch and Blackwatch. In exchange for loaning out my pet to Talon, I received more funding and full access to all the scientific knowledge in Talon's possession. A year later, an old friend contacted me. It turned out to be Gabriel Reyes. He was suffering from a mutated version of cancer. He approached me because nothing the doctors could do could stop it. I agreed to attempt to cure his cancer. The experiment was considered somewhat of a success. Gabriel was forced to become Gabriela. Gabriela gained control over the uncontrollable cancer. She can now create and destroy those cells. This allows her to regenerate her body at an exponential rate as well as destroy almost anything organic-based. Upon discovering the results of my experiment, Gabriela entered a state of anger. She managed to recreate her guns and began to attack me. Luckily, Genji managed to subdue her long enough for me to begin another experiment—mind control. I gained control of Gabriela's body due to the nanobots inside her. I placed her into intensive mind control sessions. Soon enough, Gabriela became my new obedient pet.
However, this resulted in a few things. By upgrading the nanobots in Gabriela's body, I gave her the temporary ability to camouflage with her surroundings, which allowed Gabriela to revert to Gabriel.
Angela stood up. "Gabriela, switch with Amélie." Gabriela stood up and walked away as Amélie took Gabriela's place. Angela sat back down.
"Despite having Gabriela as their mole in Overwatch and Blackwatch, Talon was always stopped by them. Talon figured out their biggest threat in Overwatch—Gérard Lacroix. They sent many different assassination attempts at Gérard Lacroix. All of them were stopped by various Overwatch agents, including Gabriela. She reported to Talon on how each assassination attempt failed. Due to my contribution to Talon, I was allowed to attend the Council of Leaders. I remembered that Gérard Lacroix had a wife. So I suggested that we kidnap his wife, Amélie Lacroix née Guillard, and transform her into a sleeper agent. All of them loved my idea and had Gabriela arrange a false lead to get Gérard Lacroix to leave France. With him out of the way, I tasked Genji with kidnapping Amélie. I subjected her to my 'amazing' brainwashing. It was difficult to add the sleeper agent element to her mind. I was forced to constantly test the sleeper agent element. It took a week before I had it correct. I managed to have her be a sleeper for two weeks before she would wake up, kill Gérard, and return to a predetermined location for Genji to pick her up. With the trap set, Gabriela 'discovered' Amélie's location. Gérard sent a rescue team to rescue her. Two weeks later, Amélie's sleeper program was activated. She swiftly killed Gérard with a bullet in the heart and the skull. Amélie quickly ran to the designated meeting location to meet with Genji, who rescued her. After that, I further strengthened Amélie's mind control. Unlike the others, Amélie had never killed anything before. So, I decided to force her to watch her assassination of Gérard and made her feel the pleasure of killing. I made her kill animals first… then criminals… then the innocent. By the time I was done, Amélie would kill anything without hesitation. Genji and Gabriela trained her to be a 'worthy' pet for me." Angela stood up. "Hana, switch with Amélie." Amélie stood up and walked away as Hana took Amélie's place. Angela sat back down.
"Now then, Hana here was my next little pet. I was exploring Korea at the time when Hana found me through the Kkangpae [Gangster]. She begged me to help her with the MEKA (Mobile Exo-Force of the Korean Army) Tournament. The MEKA tournament was the Korean Army's attempt to find suitable pilots for the MEKA Squad. When the Omnic Crisis was still going on, Korea faced a colossal Omnic monstrosity that rose from the depths of the East China Sea. The Korean Army fought it using its MEKA suits, which were controlled remotely. Despite their efforts, they couldn't destroy the colossal Omnic because it would return to the sea. A few years later, the colossal Omnic would evolve and rise again to attack. The public called that Omnic the Jaieonteu Won [Giant One]. The fourth time, the Jaieonteu Won tried to interfere with the MEKA Squad's remote controls. Luckily, they were able to force the Jaieonteu Won back into the sea before it gained full control of the MEKA Squad. This forced the Korean Army to find pilots to control the MEKA suits. With the help of various Korean video game companies, they created a MEKA suit simulation. The Korean Army gathered the best 96 video game players in Korea. Hana was one of those players. The Korean Army decided to make it a one-on-one match using the MEKA suit simulator. Little Hana struggled against her first two matches. So she came to me for assistance. I decided to help her since it's good to have friends everywhere. I gave her a new drug to enhance her brain processing capabilities and reflexes. Hana managed to defeat the other competitors. She would contact me for more of the drug. I sold her the drugs. When Jaieonteu Won returned, the new MEKA squad was able to finally defeat it. Hana and her squad were hailed as heroes by the Korean population. This pushed Hana further down the road to stardom. A few months later, during her enlistment, Hana had to take a blood test. The doctors discovered the drug in her system. Hana was about to be arrested when she made one of the stupidest decisions of her life. She ran to the MEKA bay, destroyed the other suits, and escaped in her MEKA suit.
She managed to arrive at one of my secret bases before collapsing from exhaustion. My alarms were activated. I arrived at my base to find an unconscious Hana. I took her and her MEKA suit inside. I tasked Amélie to watch over her as I slowly began to examine the MEKA and disable any trackers the Korean Army had on it. Slowly, Hana woke up. I asked her what happened. She told me her story. I asked her what she planned to do next. Hana admitted she didn't have a plan. I asked her if she had any family in Korea. Hana started to laugh, but it was the kind of laugh of someone who was insane. She informed me that she did have a sperm donor. Hana explained that her sperm donor was the president of Korea, while her mother was one of his many call girls. She abandoned Hana once she was born. Hana discovered this by hacking into one of the various cameras in his estate. She managed to collect a sample from his latest call girl to prove that he was her father. I was slightly impressed by her hacking skills, so I decided to take her under my wing. I had Hana trained to be another assassin. I upgraded her MEKA suit to be sleeker, stealthier, and more powerful than before." Angela stood up.
"Based on what you've told me, I'd consider you a Caster. Why aren't you?" Ichigo asked.
"It's mainly due to my pets. Whenever I would hire out any of my pets, they would never reveal their names. They would only mention 'Witch Doctor' as a calling card."
"I see," Ichigo said. "Kyōka, is the trainer working again?" Kyōka reappeared in front of them.
"The trainer appears to be working, but for safety reasons, don't use the time dilation feature or anything destructive like Ea and Getsuga Luna Negra."
"Thank you, Kyōka," Ichigo said as he turned to his servants. "For now, we're going back to the trainer to train." Ichigo turned to Myrddin. "How are the spells?"
"Master, they are called Wards," Myrddin corrected. "Anyways, they are fully up, and I will be in control of the Wards."
"I want to learn how to do that," Mysteria said as she appeared.
"Who are you?"
"I'm Mysteria, the physical embodiment of Ichigo's magic."
"I can teach you in the trainer."
"Great idea!" With that, Kyōka sent everyone to the trainer to train.
Scene Change: Fuyuki City: Unknown Location
It was the middle of the afternoon, and the sun was setting. A young woman sat at a desk, reading some documents. She had shoulder-length violet hair with long bangs that reached her chin, covering the right side of her face, leaving only her purple left eye visible. She was focused on the paperwork when she heard a knock at her door.
"Come in," she said. The door opened to reveal a young man with curly blue hair and gray-blue eyes. He was dressed in black robes.
"What is it, Shinji?" she asked.
"Mistress Sakura, Kotomine Kirei has arrived," Shinji reported.
"Very well," Sakura said as she stood up from her desk. "Gather all the materials and begin drawing the seal in the basement," she ordered.
"Yes, Mistress," Shinji said as he left the room. Sakura walked out of her office, where a report on Emiya Shirou and Tohsaka Rin was laid on her desk.
Sakura arrived in the living room and saw a large man with brown hair and black eyes. He was wearing black robes, with a golden cross necklace hanging out. A large bag was next to him.
"Hello, Kirei."
"What's in the bag?" she asked.
"Lancer's master," Kirei replied.
"Oh. Who is it?" she inquired.
"Her name is Bazett Fraga McRemitz. She's an enforcer from the Clock Tower."
"What about her servant?"
"His name is Cú Chulainn."
"I see. Do you know of any other masters and their servants?"
"I do. Caster is Medea, and her master was Atrum Galliasta. Berserker is Heracles, and his master is Illyasviel von Einzbern. Archer was summoned by Tohsaka Rin."
"Any idea about Archer's identity?"
"No. Rin reported that Archer lost her memories during the summoning process."
"I see… anyone else?"
"I believe Emiya Shirou will summon a servant."
"Where is Lancer?"
"He is currently hunting down Caster."
"Why?"
"Her master wants to summon another servant."
"Interesting."
"Master," Lancer's voice echoed through the servant connection.
"What is it?" Sakura asked.
"I failed to capture Caster," Lancer reported.
"How?" Sakura asked.
"She managed to teleport away."
"Why didn't her master order her to come back?"
"According to him, Caster severed her connection with him before I arrived."
"I see. What about her former master?"
"He is unconscious now."
"Bring him to the Matou Estate."
"Very well," Lancer replied before the connection was cut.
"What happened?" Sakura asked.
"Caster severed her connection with her master and managed to escape Lancer," Kirei explained.
"I see."
"Hello, Master," Lancer sneered as he appeared, carrying an unconscious blonde man.
"Shinji!" Sakura called, just as Shinji arrived. "Take that body and prepare it for the ceremony." Shinji nodded and took the body of Atrum Galliasta away. Kirei extended his hand to Sakura.
"I, Kotomine Kirei, give my command seals for Servant Lancer, Cú Chulainn, to you, Mistress Sakura."
"I accept," Sakura said. The command seals on Kirei's hand glowed brightly before transferring to Sakura's hand. She turned to face Lancer. "Go hunt down that Caster," Sakura ordered. Cú Chulainn nodded before disappearing.
"Mistress Sakura, I will return to the church for now. I will send you any important information I gain."
"Very well."
Time Skip
"It has been an hour… what has that idiot been doing?" Sakura thought as she once again reviewed her upcoming plans. She sensed Lancer crossing the wards surrounding her headquarters. A few seconds later, he astralized in front of her.
"I'm back," he said.
"It seems you returned empty-handed," Sakura remarked as she stood up from her desk. "So, tell me, where were you for the past hour?"
"Well… I was hunting down Caster when another Servant attacked me."
"Oh?"
"The servant is female, maybe mid-twenties, with long white hair tied in a ponytail, gray eyes, and lightly tanned skin. She's dressed in black body armor consisting of a tight sleeveless shirt with silver accents outlining her body, a metal plate on her collar, black pants with straps on her thighs, and black metal-plated shoes. She wore a blood-red coat around her body armor and wielded twin swords."
"Based on the description, it might be a Saber servant," Sakura speculated.
"That's not the case, Mistress," Lancer corrected.
"Oh. Please explain."
"Her master constantly referred to her as Archer, not Saber."
"Her master was there?"
"Yes. She has aqua eyes and long, wavy black hair styled with twin tails tied with black ribbons. She was dressed in a red turtleneck, a black skirt, and long black socks under brown leather flats."
Sakura smiled.
"So Kirei's information is correct."
"You know her, Mistress?"
"I do. Her name is Tohsaka Rin. Anyway, what can you tell me about Archer?"
"She is simply an Archer-class Servant who fought me with swords."
"What happened next?"
"I was about to use my Noble Phantasm when I spotted a witness. I chased him down and killed him. After that, I continued to hunt down Caster. Somehow, that witness was still alive, so I chased him again and tried to kill him. Just before I could, he summoned a Servant."
"Oh?"
"Yes. He managed to summon a Saber. She was wearing shining armor with an old-styled dress made of blue cloth underneath. Her weapon appeared invisible."
"What about the Master?"
"He's a teenage boy with auburn hair and golden-brown eyes. He wore a blue and white long-sleeve baseball jersey and slim, straight blue jeans."
"So Shirou is also a Master?" Sakura chuckled. Suddenly, someone knocked on her door. "Come in."
"Mistress, I finished the task you asked of me," Shinji said, walking into the living room.
"Good work."
"Thank you, Mistress."
"Come on, let's start the summoning," Sakura said. "Lancer, come along." She, Lancer, and Shinji walked downstairs to the basement. When they arrived, they saw a large seven-pointed star with circles at each point. All but two of the circles contained a body. Sakura raised her hand with Lancer's Command Seals on it.
"Lancer, I order you with this Command Seal to stand in the circle without a body," Sakura commanded. The Command Seal glowed red as Lancer was forced to step into the circle.
"Lancer, I order you with this Command Seal to stay in that circle and accept the effects of the ritual." The Command Seal glowed again. She turned to Shinji. "Shinji, walk over and stand in the circle with Lancer."
"Yes, Mistress," Shinji said, stepping into the circle with Lancer. Sakura entered the center of the star, observing each circle. The first contained the dead body of Kiritsugu Emiya and a shard of the Round Table. The second held the body of her ex-father, Tokiomi Tohsaka, along with a small fossilized snakeskin. The third contained Lancer and Shinji. The fourth had a larger fossilized snakeskin from Greece and the bound body of Bazett Fraga McRemitz. The fifth circle held the body of Atrum Galliasta. The sixth had fragments of the Iron Maiden used by the vampire Elizabeth Báthory, along with the dead body of Sola-Ui Nuada-Re Sophia-Ri. The final circle contained the body of her uncle, Kariya Matou. Each body had Crest Worms burrowed inside, preserving the remains.
Sakura pulled out a small knife and stabbed her palm. Blood began to drip onto the summoning circle.
"For the elements of blood and steel. For the foundation, stone, and the archduke of contracts. For the ancestor, my great master Angra Mainyu. Close the gates of the cardinal directions."
The summoning circle began to glow red.
"Come forth from the Black Crown and follow the forked road to the Kingdom of Ruin." The circle began to glow black.
"Fill. Fill. Fill. Fill. Fill. Repeat five times. But when each is filled, destroy it." The energy from the summoning circle intensified.
"Set. Heed my words. Allow my darkness to create your spirits, my offerings to fill your spirits and build your bodies. Your sword will create my destiny. If you heed my master's call and obey my will, then answer me!" The bodies shook as black energy entered each one. Lancer screamed in pain as he began to break down and merge with Shinji's body.
"I hereby swear… That I shall be all that is evil in the world… That I shall defeat all that is good in the world… You seven layers of hell, clad in the black sins of humanity, come forth from the circle of binding… Envoy of the apocalypse!" Sakura finished the chant. The room glowed bright black and red, stirring up a thick cloud of dust. Eventually, the summoning seal stopped glowing red, and the dust settled. Sakura could now see the outlines of seven Servants. Each knelt before her.
"Tell me your name, class, and which sin you embody," Sakura commanded.
The knight-like figure rose. The helmet collapsed, revealing a young woman in her late teens with black pupils, green irises, and black sclera. "I am Mordred Pendragon, the true heir of Arthur Pendragon. I am summoned under the Saber-class and I embody the Sin of Envy."
The next Servant stood up. A tall, dignified young man with golden hair standing like a blazing flame. He was dressed in golden armor, and like Mordred, his pupils and sclera were black, but his irises were red. "I am Gilgamesh, King of Uruk and King of Heroes. I was summoned in the Archer class and I embody the Sin of Greed."
The next Servant, also male, had tan skin and red tribal markings decorating his body. He wore black armor with red horns and held a spear adorned with thorns. "I am Cú Chulainn. I embody the Sin of Sloth."
The next Servant was a tall female with long purple hair. She had black pupils, pink irises, and black sclera. She wore a revealing black dress, her legs covered in dull golden scales. Behind her was a long snake tail. "Hello, Mistress. I am Medusa. You look very delicious."
"Thank you for the compliment, but finish your introduction."
"Oh. I am summoned under the Rider class and I embody the Sin of Gluttony."
The next Servant was a tall man with huge, rolling eyes and oily cheeks. He wore a luxurious robe with sanguine scarlet patterns on pitch-black fabric. His inky black cassock exuded an evil aura, and the crimson-red stains on the fabric looked like blood. "It appears I have been given another chance to find you, my Jeanne."
"Who are you?" Sakura asked.
"I apologize. I am Gilles de Rais. I am summoned under the Caster class again. I embody the Sin of Lust."
The next Servant was a tall woman with white hair and pale skin. She wore a small mask over her eyes and a revealing Victorian-era dress. In her hand, she held a metal staff.
"I am Elizabeth Báthory. I've been summoned under the Assassin class and I embody the Sin of Pride."
Sakura nodded and turned to the final Servant.
This last Servant was a tall, very muscular man, standing over two meters tall, with light tan skin covered in numerous scars. He wielded a large black and red battle axe and a small shield.
"Your name?" Sakura asked.
"Eric. Berserker. Wrath," he replied.
"Berserker, you will begin digging underground from each point to form a circle," Sakura instructed, pointing to each point on the map.
"Grah." Berserker nodded before he dematerialized to begin his task. Sakura turned to the other Servants.
"I want each of you to fortify my headquarters. There are a few wards in place, but I want you to add more and eliminate any spies around the house," Sakura commanded.
"Yes, Mistress," they said as they dematerialized and began their mission. Sakura stood alone, touching her eye.
"I will complete my mission, Master."
"Of course, you will, my dear," a voice echoed in her mind.
"Master?"
"Yes, dear."
Sakura's shadows began to stretch and grow, forming an outline of her, but her eyes glowed crimson.
"Master." Sakura kneeled and bowed deeply.
"Rise, my dear." The voice commanded. Sakura stood.
"If I may ask, how are you here?"
"It was due to the summoning. I managed to give a fragment of my mind to help guide you, as well as a bit of my power in case you need to fight."
"I'm a Demi-servant now!?"
"Yes, my dear. Anyway, your plans are coming together perfectly."
"Thank you, Master."
"Be warned; Alaya is aware of our plan and has sent her player against us," the Master cautioned.
"A Counter Guardian?"
"I do not know, but they will be a challenge."
"I see. Thank you for the warning, Master," Sakura said as her Master disappeared.
Scene Change: Ichigo's Base.
Ichigo and his servants spent hours in the training area. Ichigo discovered that Scáthach was a master with a spear, so he asked her to begin teaching him. She agreed. As they trained, Artoria and Gilgamesh worked together, with Gilgamesh helping Artoria sense incoming attacks while blindfolded. In return, Artoria taught her how to use Mana Burst with her weapons.
Myrddin instructed Mysteria in various forgotten spells, while Akasha discovered her normal form—her Victorian dress—and her battle mode. Akasha's pink hair remained the same but was now covered by a black fedora with a wide floppy brim. She wore a white suit, leather riding boots, and a black frock overcoat with a cape. In her hands were two handguns: one white, engraved with "Hellsing.454 Casull Auto," and the other black, engraved with "Jesus Christ is in Heaven now." Akasha focused on mastering her battle form.
Angela and Raikou trained together, with Angela's pets fighting alongside her against Raikou and her allies.
"Ichigo, something slammed into the wards!" Mysteria shouted.
"Everyone regroup," Ichigo ordered. Training stopped as everyone gathered around. "We're going to exit the trainer and see what bumped into the wards." All the servants nodded, following him out.
Scene Change: Ichigo's Headquarters
Everyone exited the training area, weapons drawn. Ichigo opened the door to the house, and Hana and Gabriela charged out, just in case of an attack. With the area clear, everyone else followed.
"Everyone, find out who or what crashed into the wards," Ichigo commanded. The group scattered.
"I found who crashed into the wards," Gilgamesh said. The others gathered around him to see a beautiful woman with long blue hair and knife-shaped ears. She wore a bluish-purple robe stained with blood.
"Master, what are we going to do with her?" Gilgamesh asked.
"Her name is Medea," Jeanne informed him.
"How do you know that?"
"As a Ruler, I can identify any servant I see," Jeanne explained.
"I see. Angela, can you do a basic checkup?"
"Very well," Angela said, kneeling next to Medea. "She seems to have suffered stabbing wounds from a long serrated object."
"Can you heal her?"
"This is easy."
"Does she appear to be allied with Sakura?" Ichigo asked.
"It doesn't seem so," Angela reported.
"Let's bring her inside the house," Ichigo said.
"Is that wise, Master?" Artoria asked.
"If she's an enemy, we can easily overpower her. If she's friendly or neutral, we gain an ally," Ichigo reasoned.
"I suggest we keep her in the trainer to prevent anyone from discovering her location," Myrddin suggested. Everyone agreed, and Kyōka pointed the trainer at them, returning them to the training area.
Scene Change: Trainer
The group resumed their training. Angela instructed Gabriela to oversee them while they fought against Rider's team. Angela stayed by Medea, monitoring her condition. Ten minutes later, Angela noticed Medea starting to wake up.
"Master, she is waking up," Angela called. Ichigo stopped his training with Scáthach and walked over to her and Medea.
"Where am I?" Medea asked weakly.
"You're safe," Ichigo replied.
"Who are you?"
"My name is Kurosaki Ichigo. We found you outside our headquarters and took you in," Ichigo explained. Medea looked around at the servants training around her.
"Are you their master?"
"I am."
"How? Normally only seven servants can be summoned in a Grail War."
"This Grail War has another conflict above it."
"Above it?" Ichigo quickly explained his mission. "Interesting."
"Who attacked you?" Scáthach asked.
"A Lancer servant. He wore deep ultramarine full-body tights."
"Do you have a description of his weapon?" Scáthach pressed.
"He had a red spear, similar to yours," Medea replied.
"So, he was summoned here as well," Scáthach said.
"Who?" Ichigo asked.
"He was one of my students: Cú Chulainn."
"I see."
"Ichigo," Kyōka called.
"What is it, Kyōka?"
"There was a large red energy blast outside."
"How close?"
"It appears to be at a nearby park."
"Very well." Ichigo turned to his servants. "Who wants to investigate a large blast of energy at a nearby park?"
"I'll go," Scáthach said.
"So will I," Artoria added.
"Very well. Artoria and Scáthach will accompany me. Angela, can I borrow Genji?"
"For what?"
"I plan to have Genji stay in the shadows, just in case anything happens."
"That is fine." With that, Ichigo, Artoria, Scáthach, and Genji left the trainer to investigate the energy blast.
Scene Change: Same Time, Sakura's Headquarters
"Sloth, I saw a large blast of red energy from your area. Do you have anything to report?" Sakura asked.
"I've just arrived. It appears to be a Saber in blue armor against a massive servant in a field of fire."
"Sloth, did you just say a 'Saber in blue armor'?" Envy asked.
"I did, Envy."
"Does this Saber also have lightly pale skin, blonde hair, and blue eyes?"
"She does. Why?"
"I'M COMING, FATHER!" Envy yelled.
"Anyways... Sloth, Envy is going to assist with those servants. Report to me if there are any major changes," Sakura sighed.
"Yes, Mistress."
"Lust, do you have spells that can corrupt other servants?"
"I do, Mistress."
"I want you to go with them and attempt to corrupt the other servants to my side."
"As you wish, Mistress."
"Pride, Greed, and Gluttony be prepared to assist Envy and Sloth. If possible, provide cover for Lust if needed."
"Yes, Mistress," they replied.
"Me?" Wrath asked.
"Continue what you're doing."
"Okay." Wrath said. For a moment, Sakura thought Wrath sounded disappointed. She shook her head as she read over Kirei's reports on the servants in the war.
Scene Change: Park
[Ichigo's servants will be using their names, Sakura's servants will be using their sins, and the summoned servants will use their class names.]
At the park, a few people could be seen. A dark-skinned, colossal, statue-like man with messy black hair and red eyes stood there. In his arms was a large stone-shaped sword, surrounded by fire. Next to him stood a little girl with crimson eyes and long white hair. She was dressed in a purple winter coat and hat. Her name was Illyasviel von Einzbern, or Illya for short.
"It survived an A-rank Noble Phantasm without a scratch," Rin said.
On the ground were two more people.
"Shirou, what was that?" Saber asked.
"Archer's arrow," Shirou replied.
"I've changed my mind about you, Rin. Your Archer is impressive. That's enough for now. Return to me, Berserker," Illya said.
"You're running?" Rin asked.
"Yes, I've changed my mind. I don't care about Saber, but your Archer has piqued my interest." Berserker walked toward the albino girl. "So, I'll let you live a while longer."
Berserker suddenly turned around and let out a roar. A red spear struck Berserker.
"GAHH!" Berserker yelled as he grabbed and pulled the spear from his chest. Everyone stared at the new servant.
"Oh, you are a very tough servant," Sloth said.
"Who are you?" Illya asked.
"I guess keeping my identity doesn't matter. I am Cú Chulainn, and I embody the Sin of Sloth."
"BERSERKER, DESTROY HIM!" Illya ordered.
"GAAHH!" Berserker yelled as he charged at Sloth.
Rin managed to regroup with Saber and Shirou.
"Let's get away," Shirou suggested.
"That's a good idea," Rin agreed.
"Very well..." Saber began before suddenly pushing Shirou and Rin away. Before they could question Saber, she blocked a sword strike from another servant.
"FATHER!" the newcomer yelled as they attacked Saber. Saber blocked each strike.
"Father?" Shirou asked.
"They don't know? They don't know who you are?" The newcomer said, the helmet beginning to collapse, revealing her face. "I am Mordred Pendragon, the true heir of Arthur Pendragon, and I embody the Sin of Envy."
"Then that means..." Shirou and Rin turned to Saber.
"I am Artoria Pendragon, King of Knights, and Once and Future King of Britannia," Saber said as she pointed her sword at Envy. "Despite being my child, you will never be my heir."
"RAH!" Envy yelled, continuing to attack Saber.
"What should we do, Archer?" Rin asked.
"We either disappear or continue to fight," Archer replied.
"Can you help Saber?"
"No. They're too close to each other. I'd likely hit Saber instead of Envy."
"I see. I think we sho—" Before Rin could finish, she saw a familiar red spear thrown at Sloth. Sloth used Berserker as a jumping board to dodge the attack.
"That spear..." Sloth said, turning around to see another servant. "Meistr [Master in Welsh," he growled.
"Hello, my myfyriwr [Student," Scáthach said. "It appears you've strayed from your path." Ichigo and Artoria arrived. Artoria saw her other half, Mordred, attacking Saber. She charged in to join the fray.
"Mistress, we need backup," Sloth said as he dodged an attack from Scáthach, only to be hit in the stomach by Berserker's strike.
"Very well. They will be there shortly." Ichigo looked up to see four more servants appearing.
"Everyone, we need you," Ichigo said.
"I apologize, Master, but Myrddin and I will remain here. Hana and Gabriela will join you, while Amélie will join the others," Angela said.
"Very well." A few seconds later, Ichigo's servants arrived. They picked their targets, and the battle continued.
