Chapter 1: Prologue

The Einzbern castle courtyard 1994

 

 

“I-I thank you for this banquet, Sir Rider! And it’s fantastic to have you here as well, Saber!” said a lightly tanned teenage boy in a white shendyt. His most distinct features were his light brunette hair and green eyes. His belt had an engraved blue beetle that radiates magical energy. He was in awe with the Blue Saber and the Red Rider.  The Blue Saber beautifully retains his regal knightly presence, as the moonlight shimmers his blond hair and green eyes. Rider’s prideful personality emits through his tall and muscular stature.

Accompanying Saber was Irisviel von Einzbern, a white haired woman who married Kiritsugu Emiya, the magus killer. Waver Velvet, the nineteen year old narcissistic genius, attended with the boisterous Rider in his chariot with the divine bulls.

“Ah. Well…I studied your extraordinary life as a conqueror and king, Rider!” said the young Archer as he carries a small red vial of an unknown substance. “Let me have the privilege of enchanting our fine wine.” Rider nodded and smiled, permitting him to mix the barrel of wine Waver reluctantly bought.

“A gift from Caster and the Holy Church. Put this in the Rider’s and Saber’s drink. I want you to understand that you are too weak to fight back if caught. Do not fail me.” 

 Tokiomi Tohsaka, Archer’s master, remained in his mind as Rider’s drenched himself in his wine’s improved

“May I ask you what you think of my worst enemy as King?” asked Archer.

“Proceed. I won’t mind.” Saber said politely.

Archer looked at his wine’s reflection and saw the ivory-colored  moonlight. His mother’s tearful cries imprinted in his mind.

“Remtju ni Kemet! My husband lost the Battle of Actium! I am no longer fit to be Queen..”  

“My worst enemy does not have compassion, mercy, or self-indulgence,” said Archer. Both Saber and Rider looked up with rather surprised faces.

“My worst enemy says the nation takes priority over the self. Even if it means killing their companions, subordinates, or even their own kin. The nation’s power is absolute. A king needs to be willing to wear rags and sleep in the dirt to strive in the warzone. A king must not be hesitant to resort to tyranny and cruelty to pave the way for prosperity. So is my worst enemy a good king?” asked Archer.

“He sounds horrific. No doubt he and I would be bitter enemies. Though he sounds like a former enemy of mine...” said Saber as he remembered a red haired man cackling. 

“Bah. What a dull way to rule. A King radiates riches and affluence. A King does not always need to rely on swords and bloodshed. That’s why you don’t let a military general be a King.” said Rider as he took another sip.

“But if I may ask? Why speak of your worst enemy and not your rulership? Surely, that would matter more. Or perhaps you are only willing to speak your wish for the grail?” asked Saber.

“My wish?” thought Archer. “My wish is to save my parents and my Kingdom. My wish is to kill the tyrant.”

Saber sniffed the half-finished drink as he started to pass out. His body felt incredibly weak and started to limp. Irisveil hurried to his aid and suddenly….

 

 

Slash.

 

 

A small dagger from the sky above sliced through the young lady’s forearm. 

“Rider, we need to leave!” Waver Velvet rushed to his servant and grabbed his red cape.

“Master. Have faith in me. I can hold my drink unlike these little boys.” said Rider.

Rider prepared his Noble Phantasm. He stood up with much arrogance as the courtyard transformed into the desert. An endless amount of Greek soldiers stood by the King including a young female magus who borrowed her twin’s brother name Hephaestion. She usually wasn’t summonable by Rider’s Noble Phantasm…

“Now, to the distant ends of the earth! As long as our chests beat with ambition for the far horizon, the campaign shall never end. Raise your cries of war! Ionion-“ Rider then collapsed from his warhorse coughing up blood.

The malicious driven Hephaestion then took the nearby divine bulls’ neck and sliced their veins open. Their phantasmal blood poured onto a large vial carried by the magus.

Over the horizon, several creatures emerged from the black dense cloud. The soldiers pay no attention to Hephaestion as they begin their attack. 

“Noble Phantasm….Zabaniya!” shouted a young woman’s voice.

The soldiers charged straight towards the mist. The creatures dashed through the desert sand and began to consume the bodies of Rider’s army. They took the shape of various animals such as lions, snakes, and wolves.

Suddenly, a scantily clad woman riding a large blue flaming skull launches several silver platters cutting through the soliders’ flesh.

“I’m not letting Assassin have all the fun. Master, is everything going to plan?” said the psychotic woman.

“I got him, Berserker!” said Ryuunosuke Uryuu,  a notorious serial killer who grabbed Waver’s arms. From his sleeves were two Ash Locks, armored gauntlets that sheathed three sharp knives. Without hesitation, Ryuunosuke sliced Waver’s abdomen and poured a massive pool of blood onto the ground. “Now we are waiting for Archer to kill Saber!”

Rider looked at the young Archer with disgust and anger. Archer looked away shamefully from Rider as he drew his bow and arrow. He aimed for Irisveil and Saber…

“I’m too weak to win the war. My master says he and I will get our wish. The Church, Assassin’s and Berserker’s masters, are all on the Tohsaka family’s side. I only need to kill them.” Archer’s hand trembled with guilt, unable to shoot his arrow.

“Stay away from us! You set up this trap!” shouted Irisviel as she carried Saber’s unconscious body. 

A blue beetle appeared from Archer’s belt and covered the helpless duo with a blue magical barrier. The beetle then summoned the desert winds to aid their return to safety. The duo disappeared from the reality marble as Hephaestion’s body furiously approached Archer and slapped him in the face.

“Did you foil our plan? Saber is the most powerful servant! We wasted our only chance at an assassination!” shouted the magus.

“Caster?! I didn’t do anything! Didn’t you say if Saber survived, they would eventually die of poison?” said the panicking Archer.

“Saber has a high magical resistance and my poison is created from magecraft! It could be several days before the poison finally kills him! I am going to let the Church and your master know about this, you cowardly Prince!” 

The battlefield dies down as the remaining soldiers are killed off by the summoned creatures and Berserker’s attacks. Rider cried as he saw Ryuunosuke tossed Waver’s lifeless body onto the ground.

Hephaestion's body began to disintegrate as two identical emerald eyes replaced the Greek magus’  naturally heterochromatic colors. She then placed the sword’s blade towards Rider’s head….

 

 

 

Stab.

 

 

“Gloria Exercitus…” 

 

Chapter 2: Hassan of the Forgotten Djinn

TWO DAYS EARLIER AT THE MATOU MANSION 

“Well, don’t hesitate. Get in.” said Zouken Matou, a decaying powerful mage.

A young girl named Sakura Matou with purple hair with a red ribbon, looks into a pit full of phallic-looking worms with a pale look on her face. Her tears have dried from the horror and pain she had endured.

“ZABANIYA!” shouted a young lady’s voice.

“LISTEN TO ME! WHAT DID YOU DO TO MY COMMAND SPELLS?!” shouted a older male voice.

“Uncle?” said Sakura.

A wave of shadows engulfs the mansion's basement. Zouken casts lightning against several Djinn while the Servant grabs the young girl before a bull-faced djinn erupts through the roof.

The servant holds Sakura in her arms and leaps high onto the roof. Zouken barely managed to cast a swarm of meat eating insects to fly towards the servant.

The young servant calls forth a massive vigorous djinn from the ground which summons a powerful sandstorm. The only thing visible though the storm was its demonic silhouette. The ferocious winds effortlessly slice through the blade winged worms, and Zouken prepares to cast a blackened magecraft attack from his fingertips.

“Killing me is impossible! You really gave up your wish for a worthless pile of trash?” 

The servant shows her cracked skull face to the old mage. “I have no wish.”

Zouken blasts an energy spell at the servant. The sandstorm djinn lifts hundreds of large knife-shaped stones, launching each one with the force of a ballistic missile, as the servant evades the dark energy spell miss her by mere centimeters.

The trees’ leaves flew softly on the outskirts of the utterly destroyed Matou mansion. A teenage girl covered in black robes held Sakura Matou, a young girl abandoned by her original parents. The servant senses something inside of Sakura’s chest.

“Hold still, my child.” The servant’s fingers radiated a calming blue aura. She gently places her fingers onto the child's chest who was too terrified to say anything, as the servant manages to pull a  distressed worm near her heart. She burns the worm to cinders with a potent flame spell without a moment hesitation.

 A small cat-like djinn purr against the mysterious young lady followed by her original master, Kariya Matou. The servant places Sakura near the cat djinn, which starts to immediately rub her head against the child’s leg while purring. Sakura slowly hugged the cat, as a feeling of comfort washes over her.

“Please come back, Assassin. We need you. If you don’t, Sakura can’t return home.” pleaded Kariya.

The assassin flicks Kariya’s forehead. “I hope you can forgive me” said the Assassin. “ I cannot let that abomination live. Do you also have a nephew named Shinji?”

“Y-Yes? His father was going to pick him up at the mansion to go to study abroad…” said Kariya. 

A massive hawk-like djinn flew over them, and landed on a tree branch nearby, carrying Kariya’s nephew, Shinji Matou.

“Leave me alone! I am destined to be an all powerful mage! Grandfather will give me everything I need!” shouted Shinji Matou as he dangled from the tight grip of the hawk-like djinn.

“If you don’t want to win…can you at least do me a favor? Could you please help me kill Sakura’s biological parents? They’re the reason why she was so horribly violated. I only joined so I can stop her suffering.” said the teary Kariya. 

The assassin looked around him with a profound face. 

“I promise to send these two children far away from Fubuki City and assassinate her parents.” 

The assassin grabs a small knife from her hand swiftly and positions it near Kariya’s neck.

“I do NOT work for the devil you name Zouken. I work for you. The djinn will watch and feed the children until we win. Fail to meet my demands, and I will not hesitate to kill you. Understood?”

“You pile of trash! This servant is defective! Go back to grandfather and get new one!” shouted Shinji.

Sakura held the cat djinn in her tiny arms. She began to tear up as she looked at the Matou mansion rubble across the distance. Kariya nodded his head in his frail weak body.

Unknown location in the mountains of Syria

September 30, 1192

A young man in vibrant white clothes with bright silver patterns, followed by the cat-like djinn, can be seen walking through a barely lit cave. The candle-light reveals the skull faces of the Order of Assassins. At the end of the hallway, a young girl closs her worn out Quran near her collection of mage scrolls.

“Saladin, the war is over, and it’s nearly sunrise.” said the young woman as she took out a black-torned prayer mat. 

Two of Saladin’s escorts provided a red golden-patterned prayer mat for their sultan. “Please forgive me. It seems King Richard wants our aid to fight against a terrible monster with extraordinary powers.”

“King Richard? Our old enemy? I have no interest in Masīḥī political theater. “ 

The other remaining assassins rise from the cave, beginning to prepare for their fajr prayer as they wash themselves at a nearby water well, while a couple already have their faces pressed on the ground in prayer.

“Oh no, nothing like that. As much as I enjoy seeing the foreigners kill each other, this seems to be far more dire. At least King Richard respects my swordsman skills and your magecraft to ask for help.” Saladin pulls out a silver curved sword sheath carved in detailed patterns. “He's remarkable with his sword, I’ll give him that. “

“If King Richard managed to convince you to leave your Kingdom to aid him on his quest, let alone requesting for my help, I must see if he is truly a man of his word.” She gives a slight giggle. “It would be interesting seeing him again as an ally. Inshallah .”

————

12 hours before the Banquet of Heroes at the Fuyuki church

“Sure, we’ll help kill that Tohsaka guy for ya. But that’s for later. The priest guy wants to get rid of Rider and Saber first.” said a smug Ryuunosuke Uryuu sitting on a church bench with his feet up.

His and his servant's hands were covered in fresh blood. Assassin looked at them with utter replusion. She wanted to look away from Salome’s prized skull covered in her bloody fingertips.

“Oh thank you so much, Master of Berserker! But I am rather surprised you are willing to give up your wish.” said Kariya. Sakura was hiding behind the assassin while Shinji was sitting on a chair nearby.

“I don’t really want it to begin with.” he said with a smile.

“Oh you are truly a kind soul!” 

“Though…if you really wanna make me happy…” he said as he playfully pinched Shinj’s cheeks. The young boy was terrified and tried wiping the blood off his face with his sleeve. “…nevermind we can talk after we kill Saber…”

“Did you hear that Jokanaan?” said Salome as she moved her skull’s jawline. “We made new friends!”

—————————

 

A well-dressed man in a white long sleeve shirt violently grabbed Archer’s face in his hand, threatening him with a punch.

“Do you really have a powerful noble phantasm?” asked Archer’s Master, Tokiomi Tohsaka. Archer gave a slow nod, trying to put on a brave face. “My wife and daughter's lives are on the line. They are taking a trip to London for their safety,” He rolled up his right sleeve  to show his circular command seals to the Prince. “I might need to use all of my command seals just to make sure you do not fumble your chance. And let me ask again. Don’t you want your wish?”

 

“Rome wants me dead, my son! Fled to Amanirenas’ kingdom! Never return!”

 

Archer can hear his mother’s dying voice shouting in his head. He gave another hesitate nod. Tohsaka then swiftly turned to Risei and Kirei Kotomine who are father and son.

“Kotomine, my friend. What do you suggest we do?” asked Tohsaka.

Kirei glanced at his father, who had the appearance of an elderly yet disciplined killer.

“Let me explain our plan. Zouken has been dead ever since Kariya summoned his servant. Kariya is willing to surrender unconditionally provided we kill the Einzberns.” said Risei. 

“But he’s a powerful mage? And wouldn’t the disobedient servant be a problem for the Tohsaka family?” asked Tokiomi.

“The assassin summoned was able to overwhelm a powerful mage as well as Rider. Kariya claimed he planned to murder Zouken all along.”

“I see. And I supposed I need to convince Lancer’s master to aid me in fighting the Einzberns?”

“Convincing? No, but we do need Lancer for the attack, Lancer will mainly be fighting Saber, while Assassin and Berserker will keep other hostile parties at bay. Caster will provide some support while your Archer will launch Noble Phantasm at their most vulnerable. I highly recommend one command seal.”

“But an A-rank Noble Phantasm with that much power might annihilate half of Fubuki!”

Archer gasped with a morbid face as he glanced at Tohsaka’s hand with unused command seals.

“Not important, the Einzbern family and the magus killer will die and you will obtain the grail. I say, your father will be proud,” said the old priest.

“Father? Mother and I are preparing to leave for London,” said a young blue eyed girl with brown pigtails in an elegant white fur coat.

“Ah, Rin. You haven’t left yet. Let me hug you goodbye” Tokomi kneeled in front of his daughter.

“Father, are you sure mother and I must leave? Your life seems to be in danger and I do think I can help.”

“I have allies I can rely upon. And this servant wouldn’t be an issue anymore.” 

“I can’t destroy this city! I am nothing like Octavian! …but why can’t I use my noble phantasm in a way that won’t end the lives of the innocent?” thought Archer.

 

———————————

 

 

Kirei Kotomine greets his farewell to his magi mentor and father as a black BMW awaits for him in front of the Tohsaka mansion. He opened the passenger door and sees Caster holding the wheel. She was dressed in a black business suit in a short pencil dress with matching high heels. She covered her striking green eyes in sunglasses and her facial mask covered her delicate yet mature face. Kirei fastened his seatbelt trying not to make eye contact and Caster started the engine and headed towards the church.

“You were such a good actor. I bet your handsome face could be in an American movie!” said Caster flirtatiously.

“We don’t have time for a plane trip. My father has very strict demands from me. And how on earth are you able to control Lancer?” said Kirei in a irritated voice.

“Mi domine! Why must you be so antagonizing? Remember how I made sure the catalyst for the Tohsakas’ original servant was destroyed? After all, if I am really that much of a troublemaker, just use your command seals for my obedience.”

Kirei remained silent.

“If you must know, I have created a Roman used in our celebration of Saturnus.” She then held a small red wine-like vial. “So now, I must ask. Why are you taking your father's orders? Isn’t he blaspheming the church by unconditionally siding with the corrupt Tohsakas? Doesn't your god give you a sense of being a righteous and moral man? Why be an obedient apprentice and son if it’s siding with evil?”

Kirei then quietly clenched his fist in anger.

“Now, no need to be wrathful. I do think we need to be more intimate with each other.” She took off her mask and gave him a small kiss on the cheek.  She placed the vial on her left sleeve “I’ll be waiting, mi domine.”

 

——————————-

Londinium, (Formerly Roman) Britain

 

The massive tall fires that engulfed the town of Londinium were extinguished by the heavy rain. The Saxons led by Vortigern and the Britons led by his brother King Uther Pendragon fought a bloodshed war. King Uther was a tall older dirty blonde man with a regal beard. Vortigern hardly resembled his own kin with his slim figure and his silky long platinum hair. King Uther even earned the nickname among the Saxons, the “half-dead king”, due to commencing battle despite falling ill. 

 

His son, Arthur Pendragon, was rushing towards his fallen father surrounded by the corpses of his fellow soldiers. He carefully held Uther’s head as his tears fell just as hard as the rain.

 

“My son…Vortigern is a threat to all of Britain….he drank the blood of the White Dragon….Merlin and I made you the living embodiment of the Red Dragon…” said Uther.

 

“Father please! I will find Merlin and save your life!” pleaded Arthur.

 

His father only shook his head as he spoke his final confession.

 

“Arthur…my son…I know Morgan has stolen your essence...she had your child…” Arthur then looked at his father’s corpse with grief and disgust.

 

“Father, I do not understand! I never wed Morgan! She married King Lot and had his children! Father!!!!”

——————-

 

“Rise Saber,” said an old red eyed man with white long hair.

Arthur was finally woken up from the battle of Rider’s banquet and saw Irisviel holding her small daughter, Illyasviel von Einzbern.

“Grandfather, is this Saber a failure?” said the young Illyasviel.

“A strong servant isn’t much without a strong master. Isn’t that right, Emiya?”  Illyasviel’s grandfather glanced at an exhausted man in a black suit groveling to the ground. 

“Jubstacheit von Einzbern! I was an utter fool! Irisviel has no place in combat! Let her leave Fubuki and let me serve the Einzberns! Saber and I will defeat the other masters! I won’t waste this wish!” pleaded Kiritsugu Emiya.

Jubstacheit then walked to Kiritsugu with his metal cane and repeatedly battered him with it.

“I hired you to be our combat representative! Letting her act as a decoy master was your idea! Why did I ask you to marry her even when it was fruitless love?! She was created to be a vessel for the grail!”

“Please stop! DON’T KILL HIM!” shouted Irisviel.

Jubstacheit briefly stopped and Kiritsugu coughed up blood and struggled to stand. His face is now covered in bruises. “ I want the utopia that Justeaze Lizrich von Einzbern wants.” Kiritsugu then slowly walked towards Saber. “You can not win this war without me. I was informed the Matou Mansion was destroyed and Zouken is dead.”

“He could have been hiding himself or fled the country!” said Jubstacheit.

“He was a powerful mage, why would he need to?! No one found his body! Just countless dead man-eating insects buried under a pile of rubble!”

“It doesn’t matter! The priest informed me the Assassin the Matous summoned was not dead!”

“Then we have the advantage! The Assassin will do far worse without Zouken! We can focus our efforts on Tohsaka’s servant! What if they managed to get a powerful servant?”

Jubstacheit then withdrew a white dragon’s scale from his white suit’s pocket. “Very well. The Tohsakas very likely know we are getting desperate. I will use all of my available power and I expect no less from you.”

“Why does the head of the Einzberns have that scale?! I thought I killed Vortigern! Did they manage to find his corpse?!” thought Saber.

“What about Saber, grandfather?” asked Illya.

“He can at least use his noble phantasm once. The poison must have permanently weakened his overall stats but his noble phantasm strength is more or less unaffected.”

“Can’t we use Avalon?” asked Irisviel.

“Avalon only cured the poison from killing Saber, it can not restore his reduced stats.”

“Goodnight, Illya. I love you.”

 

“Goodnight, mommy.” yawned Illya. 

 

Irisviel was in her white nightgown heading to sleep. 

“Was Jubstacheit right? Is our love truly fruitless? Why couldn’t he create someone else to be the grail vessel? Kiritsugu does love me…I’m just not human…”

Irisviel slowly opened and peered into Kiritsugu sleeping quarters. They no longer share a bed. A black haired woman that goes by the alias of Maiya Hisau exposes herself in the nude and kisses the magus killer.

“Emiya…pleasure yourself with my body…”

“Maiya Hisau…this is personal torture for me..” said Kiritsugu as he was overwhelmed by arousal.

“Not important. It’s useless to think of this relationship as nothing more than fulfilling your sexual needs, Mr. Emiya,” said Maiya Hisau as she started to stroke Kiritsugu’s penis.

“Hisau… has the war-torn jungle really erased your emotional state?”

Maiya remained silent as she got on her knees and performed fellatio.

“Are you envious of Irisviel becoming a mother? The mercenary group funded by the United States government took your son…”

Kiritsugu ejaculated as Maiya tries to swallow whole. She gave a subtle glare towards her mentor.

“The man who raped me was an American. The United States denies anything related to the mercenary group. They declared me and my son murdered by Viet Cong.”

All Irisviel could do was quietly close the door and rush to her personal room crying a stream of tears.

Chapter 4: Sola-Ui

I confess, I never wanted anything to do with Kayneth El-Melloi Archibald. It was nothing more than pressure from my family after my brother failed as a magus. Fate decided to be utterly cruel by sending me someone I have passionate feelings for. He is my fiancé’s bodyguard.

Excuse my blasphemy against Aengus, but does he envied Diarmuid’s beauty? Whenever I eyed him, his beauty poured the rain onto the drought of my empty husk of a soul.

Was my love for you real? Your mystical face allegedly forces women to fall in love with you. I decided it did not matter.

-Sola-Ui Nuada-Re Sophia-Ri

 

“Are you willing to give me a love and sleeping potion for free?” said Sola-Ui as she observed a blue and red vial in her hands.

“Of course, the church sees the Lancer party at a disadvantage. Use the love potion for Lancer and cast a permanent sleeping spell on his struggling master. We decided he’s not suited for the grail war,” said a blonde masked woman in a business suit. 

“I-I…you have my gratitude.” said Sola-Ui as she returned to the hotel.

“I am far too weak of a magus. Why am I more qualified than Kayneth? I don’t care about winning… Kayneth only fought for the sake of publicity. So, I shall fulfill my romantic desires. I will take his command seals and flee this war with Lancer.”

Caster parked at the Fuyuki Hyatt Hotel parking lot with Kirei. After closing the driver door, Caster then grabbed a box of cigarettes from her suit’s pocket.  

“What are you planning, Caster?” asked Kirei. 

Caster rested her head on top of her master’s shoulders. Kirei looked back with a grimace face. She offered him a cigarette but he shook his head no.

“Patience, I am more excited to display my noble phantasm for your personal viewing.” said Caster. She turned on the car radio as she held a cigarette in her mouth.

Caster lit her cigarette with the tip of her finger as she looked up at the hotel. She lightly touched her master’s large chest as he disapprovingly sighed.

“Stronger than lover's love is lover's hate. Incurable, in each, the wounds they make,” said Caster as she inhaled and puffed cigarette smoke.

————

Sola-Ui opened the hotel room and saw Lancer’s face once again. She gave a small smile. “Has Kayneth returned yet?”

“He has. Please be patient with him. He had too much to drink,” said the chivalrous Lancer.

“Waver is dead! My Good for nothing student is dead!” shouted a drunk Kayneth. There was a half- empty bottle of whiskey on the nightstand. “The priest told me everything! I bet his 200 peasant year old magus family must be so proud of their pride and joy at getting murdered by a thug!”

About an hour later.Kayneth finished his bottle just as Sola-Ui opened another. She secretly mixed the sleeping potion with the whiskey as Kayneth relaxed and sat on his chair.

“I was not the youngest mage to ever reach the title of Brand just because I spread such nonsense about ‘increasing magical potential’! The Clock Tower had traditional values and protocol dating back to Zelretch! You understand me, Lancer? We both have very strict honor codes.”

Lancer then coughed slightly at his Master’s remark. “ Master, last time you said my code of honor was childish and foolish. I believe you had enough.”

“No no Lancer, let him speak. It’s far too long since he was ever engaged in conversation.” Sola-Ui offered her betrothed the sleeping whiskey. “Now my beloved, tell us how we’re going to win?”

Kayneth then chugged the remaining whiskey down his throat. “The priest said the servants are going to attack the Einzberns. Once they’re finished, Assassin and Berserker will surrender. I planned to use the resources borrowed from the Mage’s Association to bribe the priest into betraying the Tohsakas. This will make me the greatest…. “ 

Kayneth suddenly passed out and fell onto the floor. Lancer shook his head at his gloating master as he placed him back up on the chair.

Sola-Ui slowly walked then got close to Lancer face to face. “ Looks like we’re alone.”

Lancer had an uncomfortable look on his face.”I guess we must rest now. We're not  going to be fighting tonight so no need to restore my mana.”

“Oh, it’s only a small burst in case of an unexpected attack. What harm can it do?” said Sola-Ui as she offered him the red vial.

Lancer took the red vial from Sola-Ui’s hand. He then started to feel lightheaded as Sola-Ui did not hesitate to give him a kiss.

—-

He was no longer at the hotel but back home in Gaelic Ireland. He can even smell the fresh grass after it rained. Just as he opened his eyes, it was Gráinne who gave him a kiss. The brown eyes and brunette hair woman in a simple white dress was giggling.

“My lady, I never thought I would see you again.” said the ecstatic Lancer.

The knights of Fianna gathered around the couple and cheered. Lancer immediately recognized their faces.

Caílte mac Rónáin

Conán mac Lia

Druid Diorruing

Goll mac Morna

And right in the middle was Fionn mac Cumhaill, a long-haired blonde green eyed man with a charming presence. He held his weapon Mac an Luin and walked towards Lancer.

Lancer then got down to his knees. “My King! This isn’t what it looks like!”

Fionn shook his head with a smile. “We mustn’t destroy our friendship in the name of true love.”

“I-I don’t understand, you wanted to kill me after running off with your wife!”

“I am reasonable and unders tanding. Otherwise I will tarnish Nuada’s name. You were a great and honorable warrior. I will throw you a grand wedding!” said Fionn in a distorted voice

The knights of the Fianna started to cheer and clapped in unison.

Glaine ár gcroí!

Neart ár ngéag!

Beart de réir ár mbriathar!

The lush green grass decayed as several stone statues of Gráinne arose from the ground. They began to rip his armor off and devour his flesh. The original Gráinne then began to undress and revealed her decaying body. The rotting Gráinne then forcibly kissed him as Lancer was too shocked to even speak.

Fionn then grew demonic boar tusks as the knight continued to cheer. He drew his spear as Gráinne climaxed in a hellish voice that shattered his eardrums. 

 

———————

Lancer returned to his senses in a cold sweat. His muscular body was covered in lipstick. His right side was a naked Sola-Ui. and right in front of him was his master.

“I am engaged to a whore,” Kayneth whispered in a furious calm voice.

“Kayneth!!! Let me explain!” said Sola-Ui.

Lancer then started to breathe heavily as massive black hairs erupted his skin. He cried in painful agony as his once beautiful face transformed into a boar’s.

Kayneth transformed his Volumen Hydragyrum mystic code into hundreds of mercury blades.

“Master! Sola-Ui! STAY AWAY!!” screamed Lancer.

Lancer utterly lost his humanity as the transformation was complete. The giant boar man pierced through Sola-Ui’s heart. Kayneth attempted his mercury blade attack but Lancer attacked him firsthand. Kayneth barely escaped as Lancer charged through the wall and killed innocents in a murderous rage.

——-

“Caster, this might be getting out of hand,” said Kirei as he heard the people in the hotel scream. Not that he minds much.

Caster then confidently walked towards the hotel’s entrance as she prepared her noble phantasm. She placed two fingers on her head as looked ahead at the boar man covered in fresh blood.

Lancer caught a glimpse of her and bolted after her, letting out a monstrous roar. He held his two spears on hand and charged directly at Caster.

“HELEL AUGUSTA"

A large bright red light directly pierced the boar man’s skull. Lancer felt his mind utterly eradicated and felt his body chained by her control. Lancer’s brown eyes then transformed into green.

Caster then slowly walked up to the pacified boar man.

“Met us at the church. I will give you your assignment later.”

“STOP THIS! THIS WAS THE CHURCH’S PLAN TO RIDICULE ME?! I STILL HAVE MY COMMAND SPELLS!” screamed Kayneth. He attempted to use his command seals but they didn’t regain control of Lancer. They lost their red color and turned black.

 

STAB.

 

Kirei pierced through Kayneth’s neck with his black keys. As the betrayed magus fell into the ground, Kirei felt strange.

Kirei felt good.

“He was hostile. Don’t make it more than it needs to be.” 

The boar man then leaves the hotel and rushes towards the church. After returning to the car, the priest took a cigarette.

“Master, let me aid you,” said Caster as one of her fingertips cast a small fire.

The seemingly contemptuous Kirei then looks away as he lets Caster light his cigarette.

Chapter 5: Jubstacheit

Three hours before the attack on the Einzbern mansion

 

“Assalaamu ‘alaykum wa rahmatullah”

Assassin was finishing her final prayer for the night inside the Fuyuki church. By her left side was a young Sakura, putting her hands together reciting a Shinto prayer she could barely remember.

“Child? What are you doing?” asked Assassin.

“I am praying with you. My elderly school teacher used to go to Mr.Ryuudou’s temple every morning before he headed off to my old school. I want to go back to my parents and Shinji back to his father. I want my uncle to feel better. I want you to win with the youkai ? I’m sorry. I never met creatures like them before.”

“Oh, my dear child. You misunderstood. They are djinn , not youkai. Even though I have only one God, I thank you for your kind consideration.”

Sakura then looked up at the hooded assassin. It was a rare sight to see Assassin’s face and hair uncovered by her skull mask and hijab. Her face was scar-covered yet young looking. She looked no longer than 17. Her hair was a color of lavender flowers.

“Amazing! Your hair is purple…like mine. It used to match my sister’s color…”

Assassin felt a sharp pain in her heart she hadn’t felt in centuries. She began to communicate the same words she said to those countless war-torn children she rescued during the Crusades.

“My child, I am doing what we can to survive. I promise to feed you and set you free from the chains of war. May your tears dry soon and may Allah bless you.”

“She is just holding us captive until she is able to kill the Tohsakas,” said Shinji as he stormed inside the church. “All she does is boss us around like when we can eat and sleep!. She doesn’t care about us. She is just going to murder us all once she gets the grail!”

“Shinji! No! Don’t say that about her! We don’t have anywhere else to live!” cried Sakura.

“Yeah! It’s her fault she destroyed the Matou mansion!”

“I wanted Grandfather dead! He did horrible things to me! I am never more grateful to anyone in my life! Miss Assassin, from the bottom of my heart, thank you!”

“That’s enough, you two! Your uncle made plans for you to stay at the church until the war is over!” said Assassin as grabbed her shoe. “And, Mr.Shinji Matou, be nice to your sister!”

“My dad says Kairya is a weak, worthless coward! I bet the crest worms will kill him soon!”

Assassin then repeatedly hits Shinji on the head with her left shoe.

“You two bed!”

Kairya looked at Shinji with a subtle frown as he struggled to breathe. Shinji looked away from him angrily as he held his head in moderate pain.

“Master, we don’t have a choice. After the attack, Tohsaka wants an unconditional surrender from all parties. Only Berserker’s master knows our true plan…”

“Assassin, please don’t die,” said Kairya. “Shinji is right. My time living is limited. Just make sure the children are safe…and Tohsaka is dead.”

Einzburn’s mansion at midnight

Kiritsugu placed himself in a sniper’s position on the very rooftop of the mansion. Jubstacheit von Einzbern carries a strange elixir brewed from the dragon’s scale in the very center of the mansion. Maya was guarding Illya and Irisveil behind the saferoom’s door. The maids surround the perimeters with firearms. Saber was outside in the front garden with his invisible sword out.

Kiritsugu then started to communicate telepathically.

“ Saber? Did you see anything? ” 

“I didn’t sense anything. I don’t feel the pain from the poison anymore. I can use my Noble Phantasm.” Saber then heard footsteps deep in the forest.

“I must work with you, Saber. Even if I think your ideals are repulsive to me. You see yourself as a messiah. I see you as a murderer who bought bloodshed and pain. But I must kill any mage that threatens humanity as a whole…”

Kiritsugu heard a small branch break and glanced behind. He reached for his rifle’s trigger slowly as a black figure vanished. His reliable Walther WA 2000 is armed with anti-magic circuit bullets.

“ Master, I heard something from the trees.”

Kerry then looked through his scope and saw something ominous. A pig-like monster that towers over his servant ready to attack Saber.

“Attack now!” Kiritsugu demanded.

“ Shukran ,” said a woman’s voice.

A massive bolt of lightning struck down on the rooftop. Kiritsugu dodged the attack and broke through the window. A massive snake djinn arises from the window’s entrance and began to violently strike the master with its massive fangs.

“Master! I found the attacker!” screamed Saber as he parried Lancer’s attack. The monster roared as it continued slamming its spears against Saber’s sword.

“Activating maximum defense!” said Jubstacheit as his eyes glow white. The mansion was covered by a powerful magical barrier. 

Kiritsugu grabbed a pistol from his pocket and started to shoot at the djinn. The djinn opened its wide, head-length mouth towards Kiritsugu.

———

“Oh, lookie! We managed to get an invitation to the Einzbern’s house! They even put up a display of a big magical barrier to celebrate! Even a super strong noble phantasm can’t break through it!” said Berserker as she clapped happily.

A squad full of maids pointed their guns at Ryuunosuke and Berserker.

“And they are even going to treat us like guests of honor!”

“As a painter, I must test if my skills are up to the task. The priest is depending on me to get the little one. However, these things aren’t good at all. I bet they don’t even scream when they die.”

Ryuunosuke then quietly grabbed a handmaiden’s neck and sliced through her neck with his well-used dirty knife. Before the maids could fire their bullets, Berserker immediately sliced through their body with her bladed platters.

—-----------------------------------

Kirei, Caster, Tohsaka and Archer are waiting patiently inside the BMW as they see Lancer’s and Saber’s battle nearby.

“So, Assassin’s job is to take down the barrier?” asked Tohsaka as he checked his command seals.

“Precisely, I enhanced this metal chariot with a little bit of my Item construction abilities. With its portable Territory Creation capacities, there is going to be more than enough magical energy  to help that poor little archer.” said Caster.

“Caster, for the final time. It’s an automobile.” grunted Kirei.

“Berserker and her master are within the barrier and inside the underground pathways to the safe room. Assassin is making her way to the center of the mansion in 10 minutes,” said Archer as he used Clairvoyance skill.

“You didn’t tell me you can use Clairvoyance,” said Tohsaka.

“I can’t. I do have Imperial Privilege. Caster doesn’t need to know that.” thought Archer.

“Clairvoyance? I don’t understand how a spoiled useless child could have that skill. Not disciplined enough to actually earn it. Might likely be a divine gift? Is it even a high rank? Does he know of our plan?” thought Caster.

“So in 10 minutes, I want you to be impressed by how strong your noble phantasm truly is,” said Tohsaka.

—-----------------------------------------

 

Kiritsugu fled from the djinn as one of the maids reloaded her gun. Bullets were flying everywhere, but Assassin was left unharmed.

“We regret to inform you that other intruders are in the castle. They seemed to be going on a murderous rampage until they found the safe room,” said the maid.

“Illya? And Irisveil? No! NO! This was a trap! Get every single maid to protect the safe room!” shouted Kiritsugu.

“Understood. The headmaster will release the ultimate weapon in 5 minutes. However, the barrier will be turned off,” said the maid as she rushed to the safe room.

“What kind of weapon could they have?” Assassin thought. 

Kiritsugu was breathing heavily as he outspeed the snake djinn. The djinn lost interest in the magus killer as it followed Assassin.

A pair of shadowy hands propped from the floor and grabbed Kiritsugu’s ankles causing him to fall against the floor. Kiritsugu rapidly fired at  the hands as they seemed to scream in pain.

“So they do get hurt by my bullets.”

Kiritsugu checked the amount of bullets on his person. 

“12 bullets…” whispered Kiritsugu as he chased after Assassin. He immediately started to use his Innate Time Control. The mansion inside was no longer bound by the rules of time to the outside world.

Assassin rapidly pierce through the maids’ hearts with her daggers just as she effortlessly avoided the maids' bullets with her jet-like speed.

 

BANG.

 

Kiritsugu finally shot Assassin with a burst of speed from his double accel ability.. The origin bullet has shut down the magical circuits from her left arm. Kiritsugu pointed his Thompson Contender at Assassin.

“End of the line, we don’t even need to use our ultimate weapon,” Kiritsugu stated.

A dozen of various djinn then began to surround  the magus killer and Jubstacheit. A couple hiss and roared as Kiritsugu checked the amount origin bullets. The djinn don’t even seem to be affected by the mansion’s time control.

“Grant me your power, white dragon of the Saxons.” stated Jubstacheit as his eyes glowed white. “ Humanity is thy enemy, use my body into the preserver of mystery. Transform the nation of Japan into a paradise of darkness no man can set forth in forever.”

Scales and teeth emerged from the growing massive flesh from Jubstacheit’s body.The leopard djinn carried Assassin and fled outside as the dragon erupted from the building. The mansion was engulfed in flames from the mouth of the dragon. 

Chapter 6: Horus

Northern Italy 1194

 

“My goodness, this djinn doesn’t seem hostile at all. Does it have a name?” asked King Richard as he petted the cat-like djinn.

“It doesn’t remember, the djinn that accompanied me lost their names, ” Hassan answered with a cold expression.

“Oh, well…I read that the Djinn may be former deities of pre-Islamic Arabia. They seem fascinating. Like how the Fae were in my homeland.”

The catlike djinn gave a small meow.

“My knowledge of the Fae is fairly limited so I apologize. But while the Djinn can be compulsive and dangerous to humans, they can learn to be courteous and even be convinced to convert to Islam. The fae are a rather troubling bunch, no?”

“Honestly, you are completely right about that. And Saladin did state that you can fuse a djinn with powerful artifacts. Haha, I don’t think I can accomplish that with the fae.”

The three finally found an inn in a remote mountain village.

“By the will of Allah! Richard, my friend! Must it only be the three of us? I have countless servants that will aid and pamper us!” Saladin complained as he fell to his knees. 

“Saladin, what we are fighting is a dangerous vampiric creature. Too many unarmed people will only make it stronger. We saw that monster slaughtered both of our armies at Jerusalem. Only through our combined efforts can we slay it.” King Richard explained as he opened the door to the inn.

“Pardon me, Richard. But your soldiers have no trouble calling me a monster as I set a trap for them with the help of the sandstorm djinn,” said Hassan.

“Don’t worry, Zariyah. I will never forget you rescuing those children on the battlefield. You are no monster.” said Richard as he smiled softly at her.

 

 

—--

 

Assassin barely escaped the dragon’s flame. She grabbed a small dagger to remove the Origin bullets inside her arm. Her master was hidden in the brushes paralyzed with fear.

“No no no! Please don’t die! I don’t how to heal your wounds!” whispered Kairya.

Jubstacheit’s transformation into the White Dragon was complete. Its massive wingspan covered the night sky and its gigantic yellow eyes glanced at the BMW. It let out a large roar before its tree-sized claws slashed towards the ground below. Kirei stepped on the brake as Archer and Tokomi bolted out of the BMW. 

“Archer! Use your Noble Phantasm now!” shouted Tokomi.

Archer was screaming in pain as his body was covered in a golden light. His green left eye turned into a rainbow color. He summoned a gold and white bow twice the size of his body.

“Arrow of the Wejdat Eye!”

He shot a massive arrow towards the moon. The moon then transformed into a ball of light as bright as the sun. A large falcon head figure then shot one powerful shot against the dragon. It wounded the dragon but did not kill it.

“Dammit! Even a Noble Phantasm that powerful can’t kill it!” shouted Tokomi.

“Caster?” asked the concerned Kirei as he turned on the vehicle and placed his foot slightly on the gas pedal.

Caster was stressfully rubbing her temples. “A dragon?! We are not prepared for a dragon! I can’t even possess it! Assassin is behind that tree!!” 

Kirei then slammed the accelerator after Tokomi and Archer returned to the car. The dragon then swung its massive tail knocking down several trees. The car came to a screeching halt after Kirei spotted Kairya.

“Oh thank goodness! Please help Assassin! She’s hurt! We’re on your side, remember?” Kairya was whimpering as the priest towered over him with his expressionless look.

“Assassin? How can we beat the dragon?” asked Kirei.

“I…his Noble Phantasm? His arrow and bow? Could it be from Ancient Egypt?” Assassin then went into deep thought as the dragon searched for the group inside the Einzbern forest.

“I think I can fuse a colossal djinn with his arrow but I’m wounded…these bullets damaged my magical circuits. And Tohsaka needs all of his remaining command seals.”

“I…it’s reasonable. After the Einzberns’ defeat, it’s finally over.” sighed the exhausted Tokomi.

Kirei attempted to heal Assassin’s wounded left arm. He successfully healed her wound but not her severely damaged magical circuits.

“Caster? Can you heal her circuits?” asked Kirei.

The aggravated Caster stormed out of the car and checked Assassin’s arm. She pulled out a small bag of strangely textured black beans.

“Swallow this,” she ordered.

Having no other options left, Assassin placed the bean in her mouth. They tasted extremely bitter to the point she started coughing. However, her wound immediately healed and her magical circuits were restored.

“I can do this, but please buy me time.” Assassin reached for her amulet in her pocket.

“Very well. Caster, please aid me in distracting the dragon,” asked Kirei.

Caster looked at him with a wide-eyed look. 

“Caster, only I can trust you to keep me alive,” Kirei then drew his black keys with three in each hand.

Kirei launched himself into the air attempting to slice the dragon’s left front leg. The dragon’s hard skin was barely scratched by the attack. The dragon, however, chased after the priest running fifty kilometers an hour.

The dragon flew high into the air before Caster shot lighting bolts hitting its wings. The dragon blasts a stream of fire burning down the rest of the forest. Kirei was only barely outrunning the flame. 

Caster grabbed a massive clear gemstone and heaved a large sized wave of light onto the dragon’s eye. Briefly blinded by the flashbang spell, the dragon then landed on top of the burnt grassland. Kirei jumped into the dragon’s snout and managed to cleave through the dragon’s snout.

The dragon’s mouth opened wide and slammed shut, biting off Kirei’s arm. Caster panicked and gathered massive amounts of magical energy onto her palm. She only read and never practiced this spell once from the grimoire she discovered from the shore of Aeaea.

She was struggling to keep her composure as the spell was overflowing her magical circuits. She fired a purplish blue light as she shouted, “By the goddess Hecate, I cast the Hex of the Glimmering Moon!” The light blasted into the dragon’s eye as Kirei’s body fell onto the ground.

Meanwhile, Assassin was finishing her incantation on Archer’s second gold-white arrow. “Tohsaka! Your command seals!”

Tohsaka then used the last two of his command seals as he commanded Archer to use his Noble Phantasm a second time. The arrow then grew much larger as it reached the falcon-headed man in the sky. Effortlessly, he hurled the enlarged arrow aiming for the dragon.

Caster with the use of her Imperial Privilege, sprinted at high speed and grabbed the injured Kirei.

The arrow bombarded the dragon on impact and caused a massive explosion. The dragon’s body was split open as its eyes finally started to close.

“Illya…Irisveil…I was granted the knowledge of the Einzbern Magi many centuries ago. But I was nothing more than a machine creating the Justeaze-type homunculi. They might have called Justeaze a failure…but I am grateful you two were born. A mind and soul of your own, what a beautiful gift.”

The moon and the stars returned to the sky as the falcon-headed deity disappeared. 

Caster glanced down at the barely alive Kirei. Caster rarely felt this sense of relief for someone surviving no less.

Archer passed out unconscious.

“What about Saber and the Mage Assassin?” asked Toksaka.

—---

“Master! Where are you?” Saber continued to clash his sword with the boar’s spears.  Saber leaps from before striking a heavy blow. The boar lost his footing and crashed onto a large boulder.

The magus killer barely stood up from the rubble.  Kiritsugu looked at the entrance in the middle of the mansion leading down to the safe room.

“Saber, did you see a hooded assassin?” 

“I think Assassin is retreating! Kill her now Master!”

A small voice screamed from the basement.

“Daddy!”

Kiritsugu opened the entrance and headed downstairs. Saber was shaken as Assassin was leaving the battlefield.

“You good for nothing hypocrite! You proclaimed you were just a heartless killing machine and wished you never summoned me! I just wanted to save my people! I never lose an opportunity to defeat a vile enemy!” 

“Quiet! I am going to use a command seal-“

The boar man pierced through Saber’s heart. Saber struggled to lift the cursed lance as his mind started to fade.

“Shit! Shit! Saber! Use your noble phantasm now!”

“I-I don’t have enough time to release the thirteen seals! This has to do! EXCALIBUR!!!!” A large ray blasted through the boar’s body. 

“Saber, I’m sorry,” said teary-eyed Lancer as he regained his humanity. “When we fought, I know I fought with a fellow honorable knight with values as pure as the Spring Rain. My body and spears are defiled for foul needs. If anyone deserves the grail’s wish, it’s the man standing in front of me. Thank you for such a chivalrous battle.”

Lancer’s body was disintegrated from the blast of Excalibur. Saber then fell onto the ground in a pool of blood with his eyes closed.

“Oh, my dear child, you always work yourself to death. If I stand by your stand like a doting big sister, maybe you learn,” said a lovely flowery voice. Saber could barely open his eyes. All his vision could depict was white elegant hair.

 

Chapter 7: Irisviel

Roman Judea Early First Century

“John! John! We can not stay here anymore! We’re going to escape to Gaul by boat!” shouted a young purple-haired woman in rags and chains. She left behind a trail of injured Roman soldiers. Escorting her was the irresolute Simon Magus, the Samaritan magician who puts on cheap magic shows for money.

“Martha…I think Pilate has already executed him,” said the wary Simon Magus.

“By the heavens, have some faith you little cowardly worm! I do believe there is some time left! Pilate and Herod most likely want a public crucifixion to impress Emperor Tiberius.”

They search around the prison cells trying to find John the Baptist. Martha let out a horrified scream as she discovered a blood-soaked green-haired woman in the nude. She placed a ripped-off eyeball through her lips.

“Oh…Jokanaan….you truly know how to please a woman. I am so sorry I must defile my body for my stepfather. It was the only way we could spend the night together before the day of your beheading. You condemned my stepfather because you wanted me all to yourself! Such scandalous desire for a holy man!”

Martha’s body was shaking and unable to move. She wasn’t able to cry over the loss of her friend and colleague. Simon was shouted from the hallway running from the remaining Roman guards.

“Martha! Martha! They found us! We need to escape right now!”

———

The rooftop was shaking from above as Irisviel hugged her daughter in fear. Maya was the only one guarding the door protected by a magical barrier. She sighted a small floating skull heading right towards the door. Maya shot a few bullets from her pistol. The skull then exploded into a fiery blast. The magical barrier nullified the explosion. A figure then rushed and body-slammed Maya onto the ground. Maya reached for her knife as Berserker choked her.

“Look, Master! A little troublemaker!” said Berserker before grabbing her leg. “Aww! It’s cute when you want to fight back!”

Maya rapidly stabbed Berserker’s arm, but the insane servant was unaffected by it. Berserker’s strong grip snapped Maya’s neck with ease.

“How uncool. A magical barrier. Berserker, help an artist out will you?” The relaxed Ryuunosuke activated one of his command seals for Berserker’s Noble Phantasm.

“Oh! This shall not be an issue! Bloodstained Silver Platter!” A massive blue skull crunched through the door’s entranceway effortlessly. “Amazing! My Jokanaan’s teeth even pierced through a magical barrier!”

Irisviel held Illya tightly before grabbing a gun gifted to her by Kiritsugu. Ryuunosuke then swiftly grabbed her arm and sliced it off with a butcher knife.

“MOMMY!” screamed Illya as Ryuunosuke pulled her away from her mother’s grasp.

“Illya! Maya!” shouted Kiritsugu as ran towards the safe room. Berserker’s massive blue skull rushed towards Illya’s father, opening its powerful jaw. Kiritsugu quickly fired his shots before needing to reload. The damaged skull then slammed its mouth shut but Emiya jumped onto its mouth at the last moment.

Crushed.

The skull bit off Kiritsugu’s right leg just as he reached the safe room. His body slammed onto the floor in agonizing pain. He crawled through the floor reaching the safe room’s entrance, but Ryuunosuke stomped on his neck. Kiritsugu’s face looked upwards at his crying daughter and his butchered wife.

“Berserker? I hear you love to collect skulls! Please give a presentation!” said Ryuunosuke.

“Oh, Master! It’s so easy! First, pull their hair until they start to scream and cry! Then you go for their eyes!” Berserker forcibly scooped up Illya’s eyeballs out of her eye sockets. “Next, get started on their throat! But make sure you pull their hair as hard as you can!” Berserker’s hand reached inside Illya’s mouth; her fragile little body was split open by the sheer force of the murderous servant’s strength. Berserker’s bloody hand clamped Illya’s heart tightly. “Next you should peel off the skin for a nice and clean skull. I used my beloved’s shaving knife when I beheaded him. But we are out of time! We got the heart for Caster! Let’s return to the church for our reward!”

The duo joyfully left the basement as her parents were shocked by the sheer horror they witnessed. Emiya turned his body upward just looking at the night sky from the cracked floors of the mansion. Irisviel limped towards her husband and blocked his eyesight carrying her gifted gun.

“Why weren’t you here with us? Saber could have handled everything on his own.”

Emiya didn't even make eye contact.

“And why did you use your assistant for sex? The one you trained and mentored? She was RAPED! ” Irisviel continuously slammed her gun against Kerry’s face until she managed to break his nose. “Do not give me the excuse that her body was only meant to serve your lustful desires and you are doing a good deed for giving her purpose as an object.”

“I'm nothing more than a weapon hired for countless horrible assassinations. What Maya and I have was strictly professional. I admit on my deathbed Iri, I was not worthy to make love to a ravishing woman with the world’s most beautiful daughter.”

“But we asked you to retire as an assassin to be the protector of the Einzbern’s family and spend more time with Illya as a father! I would have comforted and made love to you every night! You taught me what it's like in the outside world and even how to be human! Now I know, none of this matters to you! You are nothing but a perverted, self-loathing, hypocritical emotionally neglectful being! I may have been created artificially. But what lies before me can't even call itself a man!”

Irisviel fired the pistol point blank at Kiritsugu Emiya’s forehead. The loss of blood from her sliced arm finally caused her death.

—

Tohsaka and the group all returned to the church except for Assassin. She stayed behind and searched the remains of the battlefield. She even scraped a few scales of the dragon with the use of her daggers. She reached the basement to find the corpses of Emiya and Irisviel. She noticed a bullet on Emiya's forehead as she stole his gun and Origin Bullets. She glanced at Illya’s body and gave a slight gasp. Even as a servant in the contemporary era, she could not escape the sight of a dead mother and her child in the war zone.

She washed the blood off the corpses of Irisviel and Illya in the destroyed washroom with clean water. Just before she prepares their burial grounds, a blue and golden sheath suddenly arises from Irisviel's body.

“Avalon?! Just like Richard used to talk about all the time!”

Assassin summoned a humanoid goat face djinn. They can only look at Avalon’s radiance in awe.

“Keep this safe,” asked Assassin. The djinn then slowly placed Avalon inside its body. The djinn transformed into a large bird as it can not return to its spirit form.

She found clean white blankets in the ruins of their bedroom. She shrouded their bodies with the sheets.

“Soldiers dying on the battlefield is inevitable. The innocent dying is a tragedy. Indeed, we belong to Allah, and indeed, to Him, we return”

After reciting the rest of the burial prayer, she placed their bodies in the newly made grave site. She placed a handful of white roses from the Einzbern garden onto their graves.

She left the grave site and the Einzbern residence in its obliterated state.

Chapter 8: Salome

The Matou children were alone in the church with the cat djinn. Shinji, a rather troubling boy, attempted to unlock Caster’s sealed door.

“Shinji..we are not supposed to do that! Assassin is going to come back and she is going to be really mad with you!” pleaded Sakura Matou as she held the cat djinn.

“Holy crap, you are soooo stupid! I don’t trust her! She killed Grandfather and my chances to be a great mage! You only like her because she treats you like her favorite. Caster might have magical stuff in here that would make me stronger than you!”

“I-I can unlock it for you…But you gotta promise to stop calling me stupid!” Sakura then put down the cat djinn. After the young girl put it aside, it turned invisible in its spirit form. She immediately used her magecraft to unlock the barrier behind Caster’s room. Shinji looked away from her embarrassed after opening the door.

“This is the last time I’ll ever accept help from you.”

Inside Caster’s room was filled with replicated artifacts dating back to the Age of the Gods. Pomegranates from the garden of Hades, clay tablets from Kur, and even ancient Egyptian scarabs. One item not created by Caster in particular caught Shinj’s eye. A little golden box with the words engraved on the top lid:

“Miraculum Antidous Flos. Provincia Iudaea.”

He rushed and opened the box. There were only 4 white glowing petals left. He then heard the church’s door being opened and rashly grabbed 3 petals into his pockets. He attempted to run out the door with Sakura when they bumped into a very furious Caster.

Caster drew upon a paralyzing spell on the siblings and handed both of them to Berserker and Ryuunosuke. “Take these barbaric brats with you. I don’t care if you use them for your sick little hobby.”

“A deal’s a deal, Miss Caster. Here’s that one Einzbern heart you wanted,” said Ryuunosuke after he handed her Illya’s heart. He grabbed the two paralyzed children into his car’s trunk

“NO NO NO! YOU WILL NOT HARM SAKURA AND SHINJI!!” Kairya bolted towards Ryuunosuke with only a lead pipe. Ryuunosuke swiftly grabbed Kairya's arm and stabbed him with his butcher knife.

Ryuunosuke gave a small smug grin as he looked at Kairya’s command spells. “This could be a little nuisance. Let me take care of that.” He sliced off Assassin’s master command spell hand. The cat djinn remained invisible and transformed into a falcon.

“And do me a favor,Berserker…Helel Augusta!” Caster projected her Noble Phantasm on Berserker. Despite Berserker’s insanity and passionate romantic emotions, she was completely in Caster’s control. “Give me the skull of your beloved and return to your Master!”

The expressionless Berserker initially did not move. She slowly started to give her adored skull to Caster. Her fingers even dug in inside the bone surface. Caster forcibly took the head away from her.

“You compulsive ignorant spoiled princess! You and your lineage were nothing more than an puppet for Rome's greatest imperial dynasty!”

—

The falcon djinn flew up in the air following Ryuunosuke’s car. Once the pair made a stop at a shady old apartment, the djinn immediately searched for Assassin.

“ Master? Kairya?! Why can’t I feel your presence?!” Assassin panicked as she rushed towards the church with the visible crow djinn carrying Avalon.

The falcon djinn transformed into a beautiful tanned woman in a black and gold hooded cloak. Her raven-colored hair reached her waist. Her orange-red eyes resembled Sayuri flowers.

“Hassan-i-Sabbah!” shouted the djinn as she managed to catch Assassin’s attention. ( In this context, they are having a private conversation in Arabic.)

“What happened to Kairya?” asked Assassin.

“They killed him! Caster gave the children away to Berserker and her master! Hurry! I can show you the way!”

—

Berserker followed Ryuunosuke to his apartment despite struggling to break free of Caster’s mind control. The serial killer’s apartment seems to have new victims: Aoi and Rin Tohsaka. Aoi’s rib cage was ripped off from her body as Ryuunosuke used them as materials for “jewelry”. Rin’s head was bleeding from receiving a bludgeoning from a lead pipe. Sakura and Shinji were locked inside the closet where their hands were tied with old blankets to “chairs” made out of his previous prey.

Sakura couldn’t stop crying while Shinji started to shout despite his voice muffled inside his walls.

“You are a sick fucking freak! I am calling the police!”

“Oh cool! Berserker, you’re back! Look what I made!” Ryuunosuke then showed off a necklace made out of expensive gems and human bones.

“Master….we are supposed to keep the Tohsakas alive…” Berserker glared at him with an angry stare.

“Huh? Why? I don’t want the grail. And that snobby rich guy got what he wanted. They probably get mad if we try to hijack the wish. Caster is like super strong tho.”

“But…if we held them as hostages then Mr.Tohsaka HAS to give up the grail. What kind of father would he be if he neglected them?”

“Mr.Tohsaka gave up one of his brats, remember? Now Berserker, don’t you think you look sexy with this on…”

Berserker’s fingers thrust inside Ryuunosuke’s mouth and eyes. She crushed his organs and ripped out his entire skull. The skull’s pieces were splattered all over the floor.

“My wish? To be Jokanaan’s wife in heaven. He was the only man that cared for me. He publicly stated I am not just a gaudy prostitute for rich old men! He wouldn’t abandon me alone for Paradiso. That’s why he gifted me his skull and it was my most precious treasure ever since. It’s the only way I can see him again. My stepfather sees me as an embarrassment to Emperor Tiberius and has me thrown into the lion’s pit…”

“Zabaniya!”

A massive wave of djinn broke down the door as Assassin shouted her Noble Phantasm. Berserker felt a pit in her heart as she finally regained some clarity. She shed a single tear remembering what would have been her fate if she was not registered in the Throne of Heroes.

“Does my romantic desire truly curse me to burn in the depths of the Inferno?”

—

Assassin freed the Matou children from the closet. Sakura hugged her rescuer as Shinji looked at Rin’s dying body. Before it was decided that Shinji would attend school abroad, they attended the same school. Shinji had a childish crush on the young Tohsaka girl. His face now only showed fear and resentment.

“Assassin, where is my Uncle?” asked Sakura.

“Child, I’m sorry. You two are leaving the city by morning. I will drop you off at an orphanage in a nearby city,” said the exhausted Assassin. She knew she was running out of time to remain in the physical world after Kairya died. She has less than 2 hours left.

“It’s not fair! I was going to be attending school in London and now everyone I knew was dead. Assassin, you are the worst-”

Rin’s little body started to stand up and walked towards Sakura. Her white fur coat is covered in her blood.

“Sakura, you look so pretty in that ribbon. Here, you can have my coat too. My sister…You’ll get cold.” Rin gave Sakura one more hug before she drew closer to her last breath. Sakura never wanted to let her sister go.

Shinji’s anger turned into pity and perhaps compassion? “Sakura? I’m sorry. You’re not stupid.”

“Hand me Avalon right now!” Assassin demanded the crow djinn.

The crow djinn transformed into a young-looking blue-haired woman in a tattered golden tunic and long skirt. Her face had light violet eyes and rosy cheeks. She held Avalon in her arms and carefully laid it on the floor. Assassin placed Rin’s hand onto Avalon.

“Darlings, it isn’t going to work without Ar-...Saber! “ said a cheerful invisible voice. “But he isn’t done yet…so I can’t wake up the princely servant right now. Buuuuut, I think I can help if baaarely. Make sure she gets medical attention shortly.”

A limping hovering hand covered in blood and small traces of dragon scales was summoned before Avalon. By instinct, it provided a small trace of magical energy to activate the enchanted scabbard. Miraculously, Rin’s injuries were healed enough to prevent death. The summoned hand disappeared.

“By Allah’s mercy, thank you so much,” said the grateful Assassin.

“Do me a favor and keep Avalon safe. I will help you a little later.”

“By the authority of Ra and Horus, I request your immediate surrender, ” Archer demanded as he pointed an arrow at Assassin and her friends.

—----

Kirei woke up after he fell unconscious in the battle. His arm managed to be reconnected with his body as well as his magical circuits. Caster was sitting next to him wearing a silk red nightgown. She seemed to be making wine out of blood-colored grapes she managed to grow in a couple of hours.

“Oh lovely! You’re awake,” said Caster as she checked on Kirei’s arm.

“What happened after I blacked out?

“Oh, we defeated the dragon, killed Saber after losing Lancer, the Magus Assassin is dead, and I had a little talk with Tohsaka and Risei Kotomine is coming here.”

“My father?! What did you do to Tohsaka?”

“I didn’t kill him,” Caster took out a purple glowing old dagger she replicated. “This is perhaps one of my favorite creations from the Witch of Betrayal.”

Caster pointed at Tohsaka tied up by magical grape vines unable to break free revealing a massive stab wound in his back.

 

Chapter 9: Claudia

ONE WEEK AGO

Kirei Kotomine prepared his summoning circle inside the Fuyuki church. His father, Risei Kotomine, has already left to meet with the Tohsakas. The old priest delivered the coffin containing the burnt corpse of a powerful mage. The Church found the remains at a recently discovered ruin site in Italy. It has been concluded by the Church's Servant analysis staff that a Caster servant could manifest. It's among the many secrets the Church refused to give to the Mage's Association.

In the pile of ash and bones, there was a little silk golden bag. Kirei picked up the bag and read the little message inside it.

NON UTUNTUR

--------

45 minutes earlier

“Thank goodness the Matou master is dead. I feel uneasy knowing we needed to be temporary allies. What will happen to Berserker and her master?” Tohsaka Tokiomi steadily poured two cups of tea for Caster and himself.

“You do not need to worry, I already used my Noble Phantasm against her. In a few hours, she will be killed by the poisoning effect I cast upon her.”

“Actually, it won’t kill her with poison. I might need her a little later. But I suppose it’s a minor setback if she does get killed.”

“I see. Sadly, Risei has informed me that Kirei will use his command spells to force you to end your life. If I may, I must confess the true intentions of the grail. And I might need your help one final time."

"Oh? Well, I suppose I can assist if able to. After all, I am only an obedient servant to my master."

Tokiomi took a deep breath after sipping his tea. Archer was near the door and started eavesdropping. "Caster, It cannot grant a true wish since it can not create miracles.”

Archer was listening to the conversation in disbelief.

“It was intended to be an entrance to the Root. The Root contains all possibilities and every conceivable timeline of our reality. `That is the real reason why the three families created this grail system. However, the Einzberns summoned an Avenger during the last holy grail war which caused the Grail itself to be contaminated."

Caster’s fingers lightly tapped on the table. “So it might be possible to restore a ‘deleted’ timeline once we reach the Root?”

“I don’t know. But if I manage to reach it, that is more than well enough of its capability. Caster, if you can..."

“Don’t give up on your dream, Master! If you are able to control every timeline, you can-”

“Helel Augusta!”

Archer was stricken by a bolt of red lighting and slammed against the church’s wall. However, he was not under Caster’s control. Caster was speechless and knew her plan might go up in flames. Tohsaka panicked and rushed out the door. Caster grabbed a jagged glowing knife from her left thigh and quickly stabbed Tokiomi in the back. She cast a few magical grape vine seeds hidden in her long blonde hair and tied up Tohsaka’s hands and feet.

Archer regained his stance and transformed his bow and arrow into a golden sword. He placed his finger onto his forehead to warn Risei Kotomine with telepathy.

"Mr.Risei Kotomine! I can't feel the connection me and Tohsaka had anymore! I think Caster destroyed our contract!”

The puzzled Caster briefly looked at the sword. "Crocea Mors? How did you-?"

“Caster! I will never forgive you! I will end your life here!"

Caster expelled a powerful firebolt that blasted Archer’s thin body through the Church’s window. Archer reached out his hand using his Imperial Privilege skill once again. A large brown horse galloped towards the prince. Archer looked at the stallion with nostalgia. He had no trouble mounting it and ordered it to run towards Miyama Town. Caster summoned a large wyvern and rode on top of it. It flew upwards into the sky at bullet speed.

“Come on…come on Caster skill…”

He conjured a dozen golden explosive beetles towards the wyvern. One managed to explode near Caster. A swarm of hostile poisonous hornets appeared before Caster’s fingertips. The hornets stunged the explosive beetles to death before they could set off near the wyvern. Caster prepared to use the powerful spell she battled the dragon with once more. The blue beetle around Archer's belt reawakened and cast an ancient shield just before Caster attacked.

"Hex of the Glimmering Moon!"

The light blasted downwards and caused a massive explosion killing the horse and sending the shielded Archer flying. Just before he landed he uttered the words: “Assassin?”

A massive striped snake with gold and blue patterns cracked out of the ground. He landed on top of the snake's head and mounted it as it fled from Caster.

"Machia Hecatic Graea!”

Caster nearly shot Archer off the giant serpent monster. It hissed angrily as it slithered at high speed.

Archer grabbed his sword and closed his eyes to concentrate. “Please give me a powerful weapon, I don’t care what class.”

His sword transformed into a tall striped gold and blue crook. The sudden influx of mana caused his hands to tremble.

“Is this? It can’t be! Does it belong to Ramsus II?!”

He stood proudly towards the sky and stored massive amounts of energy inside the powerful pharaoh’s weapon.

“With the radiance of the sun, you shall be incinerated into Ashes!”

A ray of powerful sunlight burned through the night sky and incinerated the wyvern causing Caster to fall midair. The young prince looked at the sky in disbelief. “I can win….I can beat Caster! Now…what else he said?" He cleared his throat with a brief cough. "Pathetic! Weak, absolutely weak!” Archer’s magical energy was depleting too fast and he started feeling light-headed. He lost his balance and fell off the serpent’s head. The crook staff that once held the luminosity of the sun transformed back into his original bow and arrow. The prince lay unconscious near an empty road. The serpent surrounded Archer with its massive body and gave a slight nuzzle onto his arm like a mother caring for her offspring.

Caster used her Imperial Privilege skill as well to temporarily change into the Berserker class. She slammed the trees and ground below with a powerful fist. Her body remained intact from the fall and checked the area for Archer. She was in the serpent’s eyesight and it started to reach for a bite. Caster’s finger rashly shot a pinkish bolt of light onto the angry animal.

The serpent monster transformed into a tiny garden snake and fell on top of Archer’s head. Archer regained consciousness and looked up at Caster too afraid to move.

“Fine. Do me this ONE favor and I will give back your wish,” said the disinterested Caster as readied another firebolt. “One of the Matou children stole a few of my white petals from my workshop. Hand them to me, they are worth more than any grail. With it, I can grant a true miracle and cleanse the grail to work correctly."

Archer's false sense of confidence has returned. “Oh course! Assassin must be with the children by now! Without her master, I can beat Assassin without my Noble Phantasm!” Archer summoned a giant falcon and flew to search for Assassin. “Clairvoyance on!”

Caster looked at the sky at the prince with contempt. “Thank Juno. I finally have some needed alone time. I hate dealing with native royal brats. I supposed it was necessary to use Presence Concealment to swap Tohsaka's summoning catalyst with a weak servant. The transformation pig spell is far too difficult to get it right. I never liked that spell, it’s more like a child’s magic trick. I'm glad I added my personal take on it for Lancer. Risei will be here shortly, so let’s make haste.”

—------

“Kirei…use your command spells…stop Caster…otherwise you will betray the church and your father…” Tohsaka struggled to breathe as he vainly tried to use his magecraft.”

“Now now, I am giving you a choice here, Master. You can perform your usual duty as a holy man or choose the path to cause suffering and pain upon others,” said Caster as she fluttered her eyelashes at him.

Kirei did not move a muscle. He always felt a sense of hollowness, even after being a man of God. He never felt an emotional connection to anyone, not even to his dying wife or disappeared daughter. There is only one who reached out to him…

“If you need more time to make your decision, allow me to make my final argument.” Caster started to undress revealing her black laced bra. “What kind of human do I hate the most? I could never hate my daughter despite her murdering me. Or maybe my great Uncle Tiberius for killing my parents and two of my brothers? My surviving brother for wasting his time for the love of the moon goddess? My third husband, where my planned assassination of him was the greatest and most exhilarating part of my life?

Kirei Kotomine's height of 185 cm (6 ft) towers over Caster’s 156 cm (5’1 ft).

“There is one man I despise the most: Simon Magus. Of course, he isn’t the only teacher my daughter had. I can tolerate Seneca since I personally hired him. But Simon is a diseased dog I can not get rid of. I managed to murder my countless enemies without any trouble. But when I tried to kill him, he just used his cheap magic trick to revive himself. I did it so often, that it has driven him to be Rome’s most egotistical court mage. My daughter's pride and drive to be adored by all were inherited from him. It makes me sick."

Caster’s left hand slowly touched Kirei’s unmoving cheek. She poured herself a glass of wine from Kirei’s nightstand.

“I needed to poison my daughter while holding the world’s only miracle antidote just to get her to obey me. Once he figured it out, he promised he would cure her of her poison. With the help of Antonius Felix, I informed the entire Judea Province that the Gnostic savior Simon Magus was performing in Rome! Peter, the first leader of the heretics, finally arrived in anger and showed up where Simon performed his ‘miracle’ act where he flew high up in the air. Peter uttered a verse which caused him to lose his immortality and cause him to fall from the sky.”

Caster took a sip of her handmade wine and dropped the glass cup onto the floor.

“Simon’s adoring crowd then threw stones at his splattered corpse. I ordered the Praetorian Guard to secretly drop his body into the sea. His only disciple genuinely thinks he was able to resurrect himself. She waited for three days but he never did. “

—--

“Mother, I don’t understand. He can always come back, why isn’t he returning?” Simon Magus’ student wept as she placed her face onto her bed, grieving.

“Oh, my precious child. He is not a man with strong convictions. He is terrified of Peter of Judea. He abandoned you after rising from the dead.”

—--

Caster slowly wiped the wine from her mouth.

“Shortly after, she ordered the execution of Saint Peter as Rome’s most dangerous criminal. She finally crucified him head down with his arms outstretched while setting Rome on fire. History never can agree where it happened. My favorite location is her personal gardens where she grows all sorts of beautiful flowers. The blood of your worst enemy does compliment the roses.”

Caster took a piece of chocolate and ate it slowly. With two of her fingers, she wiped the eaten chocolate off. Her fingers were getting closer to Kirei’s face.

“The man I hate the most is a self-obsessed coward who is willing to change sides for the sake of his survival.“ She caused the vines’ grip around Tohsaka to constrict even tighter. “But you? You want to be pure and beautiful even if you don’t quite understand it. You continue to chase for salvation even if it causes you agony. Once you felt the suffering of others, you felt alive. But this is a horrible thing, am I wrong?”

Caster wiped the chocolate off Kirei’s lips. This time he doesn’t even bother to stop her.

All he could think about was his dead wife, Claudia Hortensia. He even licked the chocolate with slight pleasure.

“Claudia understood my…condition. She tried to cure me of it. She even killed herself just to prove I do love her by grief. It was more than any human can do for me.”

“Now Master, I must ask you: did you want to kill herself? I offer myself not to be a martyr, but a companion. What makes you pure and beautiful is not your devotion to salvation or your trials of continuous piousness. It is that your inner self is nothing but pitch-black void that exterminates anything that confronts it.”

Caster took a box from Tohsaka’s coat and opened it to find a small sword. She handed it to Kirei with a sly smile.

“Kotomine Kirei, I am proud to serve as your magus teacher. Every magus coming of age has earned the right to use the Azoth Sword. Please wield it to kill Caster!”

The voices of vacuous righteousness and the sadistic dark pit shouted inside the priest’s subconscious.

“Kirei! What’s the meaning of this?!” Risei Kotomine has kicked the bedroom door wide open. The veteran priest saw Tohsaka Tokiomi’s head rolling onto the floor towards his feet. The blood-stained Azoth Sword was dropped onto the floor. His son, the man he was proud to be called the moral and just figure of the Church, was passionately kissing a long-haired blonde woman wearing only a bra and a pair of panties.

Chapter 10: Mini Chapter 1

Archer:

Noble Phantasm: Arrow of the Wedjat Eye

Rank A

Anti-Army

Pharaohs throughout ancient Egypt were able to utilize the divine gifts from the Ennead such as their mystic eyes. The Wedjat Eye is not only a symbol in Egypt for well-being and healing but a type of mystic eye granted by only a handful of pharaohs. The young pharaoh here sometimes wished he used this ability against the Roman invaders. However, there are rumors that his worst enemy had the sword of Mars readied in case the Egyptians decided to use divine intervention. Despite originally planning to be a proper vessel for Isis, his mother committed suicide so the Roman Emperor had to spare her kingdom from such a weapon. Would the Nile nation flourish under a new golden age if the Prince defied his mother's wishes? Or will it lead to another long and exhausting war led by gods, repeating what happened in Troy?

Personal Skill

Immunity to Rome: A rare skill that grants protection from any mental/physical degeneration or control from abilities or Noble Phantasms from Roman Servants. However, the user might be more hostile to anyone with the Roman trait. This is unsurprising since Rome-Immune servants refused to be assimilated by Roman Imperialism during their lifetimes. Worth noting that late era Egyptian culture does incorporate Greek/Roman elements. Other noble warrior servants with this trait include: Vercingetorix, Spartacus, Queen Amanirenas, Boudica (Avenger).

Noble Phantasm: Helel Augusta

A Noble Phantasm that takes direct control of living beings, and servants including the Beast Class. It can nullify an existing servant contract similar to Rule Breaker. However, it’s limited to only one at a time. Augusta is a Roman title given to empresses of imperial families. The wife of Emperor Claudius was the first Roman woman in history to ever earn such a name. Helel translation in Hebrew means “Shining One” and is associated with the “morning star” Venus. Interestingly, Lucifer was the personification of the planet Venus who remains obscure in Roman mythology in contrast to his Christian counterpart’s major antagonistic role in Biblical doctrine.

Servants who possess Protection of the Faith with at least an A rank or Immunity to Rome can nullify this Noble Phantasm. It will not work on divine beings that didn’t manifest as servants, the Saver class?, Ultimate Ones, or True Ancestors/Dead Apostles. If Avalon is activated, it will not work on living beings within 2 kilometers. (1.2 miles) Of course, there is one Beast class servant who absolutely loathes her with all her being. Perhaps she can defy the Noble Phantasm's control, enough to commit suicide?

Chapter 11: Kirei

“Kirei! Move out of the way!”

The pistol’s blast echoed throughout the church. Caster held her bleeding right arm clenching her teeth in agony. She fell onto the floor covered in her own pool of blood. An Origin Bullet sliced through Caster’s magical circuits barely avoiding Kirei’s foot.

‘My my. This anti-magecraft prototype weapon works marvelously. Who knew the Einzberns managed to create an upgrade for the dreaded Origin Bullet? Killing servants is far easier now.”

“Master…my workshop!” Caster painfully hissed.

Kirei grabbed his father’s gun-wielding arm. The pit inside Kirei’s soul now wants to end his father’s life in torment. Risei slammed Kirei’s body against the wall. Kirei used his magical circuits to strengthen his grip and clutch his father’s hand to let go of the gun.

“My son…did your servant manage to seduce you? I knew we should have never brought her coffin to you! First, She wanted us to side with that psychotic vulgar killer! Now that whore managed to convince you to kill Tohsaka! Don’t bother with the workshop! I destroyed every magical item in that room! To keep the integrity of the church overseeing the Holy Grail War, you are expelled from the Church for treason, and I shall punish you by execution!”

Kirei Kotomine threw a powerful punch towards the left of Risei’s face but it was swiftly blocked. Risel’s stance shifted and his right arm slugged Kirei’s jaw. Blood erupted from his mouth and nose. The former priest readied a powerful strike. His fist slammed against Risei with the force to break a fully grown tree in half. Risei blocked the attack with both of his forearms, but it sent his body through the church’s wall.

Kirei sprinted towards his father with another fist. Risei grabbed his son’s attacking forearm and slammed his face towards the church’s window. Kirei’s face was sliced by the Mother Mary’s mural. Kirei struggled to breathe as the old man grabbed him by his shirt.

“Arise, sodomite,” Risei ripped the golden cross off of Kirei’s necklace.

The young priest’s exhausted head felt like it was melting off from the bone of his skull.

“I ask thee, my Lord, why?”

—------

Kirei’s mind reminiscences the day after Claudia died. He stood in the middle of the empty Fubuki church, looking across the hallway. Risei tenderly carried his sleeping daughter, Caren Hortensia. Kirei could barely remember her face. Her most distinct appearance was her sliver-white hair.

“My son, I am blessed to carry my granddaughter one final time before we send her away. I understand you suffered terrible grief after Claudia’s death. But please do not break away from the Lord’s teachings. His love shines upon you. Come now, it’s time to prepare for Ash Wednesday.”

Kirei looked at his father and his child exiting the hallway. He then turned back to look at the center of the church. A completely naked Caster sat on top of the church’s podium with a large bowl of his favorite dish. Her beautiful, long blonde hair covered her ample chest. The silken tofu delightfully complemented the chili paste, the scallions, the minced meat, and the garlic.

“I know how you like it, Master.~ The incredibly spicy taste must cause your entire body to sweat excessively……~” She held a large piece of chili-soaked tofu between her lips making suggestive moans.

—------

“Get…out…. of my church.”

Kirei rapidly punched against Risei’s abdomen after feeling his final alderine rush. In response, Risei choked his son’s neck as he held his stance. Kirei was only boxing faster as he was losing his breath. Each second was draining his life away until….

Crushed.

His fist finally plunged through Risei’s chest with his reconnected arm. Risei’s lifeless hand ceased choking Kirei’s neck. Kirei was regaining his breath as his father dropped onto the floor. He grabbed a dim candlelight and some lighter fluid. With the help of his magecraft, he sent a massive fire upon his dead father. He felt not a sense of guilt or sadness. His soul was liberated from the shackles of God after burning the Holy Grail War regulator’s corpse. A harrowing laugh erupted from the chest of the exiled priest.

—-----------

Kirei spends the rest of the night attending to Caster’s wounds. While her bleeding stopped, her magical circuits were severely damaged. Caster opened her eyes to find herself in an old bed once belonging to Claudia. She glanced to her left to find her Master healing on her arm. Without her workshop, she lost whatever upper hand in the holy grail war. She finally woke up to her Master.

“Caster, you’re finally awake.”

“How surprising. You wouldn’t let me die.

Kirei gave a slight sigh. “I tried finding any of your workshop’s magic items that might restore your magical circuits. I couldn’t find anything.”

Caster pulled up a hidden sliver of glowing elixir from her bra. She smugly grinned. “Not everything.”

“Caster…you were fooled. Outside of the heads of the three families, everyone was fooled. Even the Servants.”

“Pardon me? Don’t you need all seven servants to reach the Root to grant your wish? And I am aware it’s not a true omniscient wish granter.”

“Caster, if you only want the wish you only need six. However, the grail in an unstable state will appear if you have five.”

“Did Tohsaka tell you all of this?”

“He gave me his absolute trust and I had no intention of using the grail originally. We were going to use our command seals to force you and Archer to commit suicide. And if I may ask, how will you accomplish your wish?”

“Well…this is a long shot. There are rumors among the mages in my time that the druids in Roman Britain have time-traveling mirrors. I had one broken mirror when I was alive, and I did plan to force the druids to fix the mirror with the help of General Suetonius. I did not get much done with that after my dullard husband Claudius made a peace treaty with Prasutagus.”

Caster’s fingertips graze alongside Kirei’s bruised cheeks. Caster’s eyelids fluttered at the sight of her master as she whispered her wish into Kirei’s ear.

“So you plan to use the grail to fix the mirror and use its mana energy to change the timeline. However, there is a dent in your plan. The grail didn’t appear at Ryuudou Temple. Archer still might be alive due to his Independent Action class skill. And if Archer couldn’t beat Assassin, she should run out of mana by now. We also can’t rule out the possibility that Saber might not be dead either since we never found the body. What about Berserker?”

“That is a problem. I can assure you Berserker is surely dead. I couldn’t detect her physical form with my noble phantasm. I guess we need a way to lure those brats into Ryuudou temple. If Saber is alive, that’s even more of a headache. My noble phantasm couldn’t be used if his scabbard is activated which is why I need to improvise during Rider’s Banquet of Heroes. I must thank your father for providing me with that information. It’s a shame he never fancied me as your servant.”

Caster’s slender fingertips tapped against the elixer. “I must apologize for my indulgence. I don’t think my arm healed enough for us to take on our final mission. Pardon me, Master. Are you familiar with mana transferring?”

Kirei looked away in slight embarrassment. “ I suppose I can give you a little blood.”

“Master, your body is so injured, any more blood loss might kill you. Putting your saliva in a cup is inefficient as well as unsanitary. I supposed we can start with a kiss...but first drink this.”

She felt a bit heartbroken about what she intended to do. Beforehand, she mixed the heart of Illyasviel and the skull of Berserker’s true love for the elixir. With the potion mixed with several mana-increasing ingredients, Caster added the last touch with the final miracle petal she had. It almost resembles the miracle antidote she gave to her often-poisoned daughter. It radiates a strong heavenly presence that is alien to this world.

She slowly lifted Kirei’s head and poured the potion onto his lips. As soon as the potion was emptied, her Master took off his clothes revealing his blood-drenched muscular body. His arms in particular were bruised during the fight with Risei. Caster revealed her ample breasts unrestrained by her black bra under the blanket. In the heat of the moment, Caster grabbed Kirei’s body and dragged him to bed furiously kissing him.

There was only light from the full moon. From the church wall’s silhouette, two people made love to each other. Her arms wrapped around her lover’s wide shoulders. He runs his fingers through the woman’s long blonde hair. He placed his head in between her opened legs.

Caster bit her lip as his tongue moved a little faster each time he sucked on her clitoris. Her hands had a tight grip on the white sheets.

“....ahhhh…haaa…..a little more…”

It had a bitter and sour taste. Kirei kept sucking her womanly wetness while Caster pushed his head further into her legs as his tongue delved deeper in.

“Aaaaaaaaah..Master…mhmmmmmmmm……”

Her mind melted into ecstasy causing her vision to blur. She couldn’t notice her Master’s body climbing on top of her. She could only see Kirei’s face huffing and looking down..

As soon as he swirled his tongue around hers, she wrapped her smooth, slender legs around his hips. Both of their bodies were pressed against each other as he pinned her wrists and started to thrust inside her.

“Oooooh….aaaaaah….ahaha….oooooooo.”

She felt how forceful and large Kotomine’s cock felt. He felt that not only her chest was plentiful but her curvaceous bottom as well.

The rushing river flowed inside the garden. The water started to overflow the soil, but the flowers wanted more. The flower roots were submerged in a large puddle.

“Yes…yes! yes!.YES! Oooooohhhhaahhhhh! Mhmmmmm! Master! Kirei!!!!!”

—------

After their mana transfer, they fell asleep hugging each other's bodies. The sun rose from the East shining upon the ruins of the Church. Kirei suddenly felt an indescribable pain in his body. His hair grew long and white, his eyes turned golden, and even his reconnected arm started to transform into a white color. Two large veiny masses of flesh started growing from his upper back.

“Caster…what did you….”

Two white wings spurted from his back in a bloody explosion as he clenched trying to endure. They were covered in blood-red angry eyes. The elbow joint in each wing had sharp diamond talons at the top. Human bone started piercing around his forehead. His neck was wrapped in a golden brace. Caster looked upon her lover’s eyes and saw whatever was left of his humanity was gone. She started to cry manically as she brushed through his rabbit-like hair. He sniffed her neck and widened his deformed mouth like a snake. He slammed his jaw down and snapped Caster’s neck. She managed to sing one final song as she finally died.

“Angels obey only the One

Except Helel the damned son

He called upon me to fulfill our wish

Tragic, I’m rather too lovesick

Remember my dying desire, Lesser Grail

As your eyes gold and your skin pale

Enemy of Humanity, doomed by all

The Beast of Depravity, my crimson doll…”
