Chapter 2: Ruler Class (I never asked for this!)

Risei POV

"This is strange" Risei Kotomine said with his hand on his chin.

"What is it, Risei?" Tokiomi, the current head of the Tohsaka household asked. "Had the 7th Servant yet to be summoned?"

"Yes, the church has informed me that the last Servant, Caster has been summoned. But they also said that an 8th servant has also been summoned."

"Is that so?" Tokiomi didn't even try to hide his surprise at the priest's words. There were supposed to be 7 Servants, that was how it has always been. "What class is the Servant under?"

"For the moment, it's an unknown. Until the Servant and its master come to the church to register for the war, we have no information on them."

"Hmm, wildcards are never a good thing, they have a tendency of ruining all sorts of plans."

"I agree. But for now, I suggest moving forward with our plan-" Suddenly the doors of the church creaked open, and came in a woman with blonde hair with flaming pink tips, and red- orange eyes with dilated pupils, wearing a maid outfit with…. Horns? "Is she a homunculus?" Risei thought to himself upon seeing the girl.

"Oh! Are you the administrator from the church?" The woman asked.

"Yes, I am. And you are?"

"I'm Tohru, Berserker class Servant." That surprised him, he didn't expect to even hear a Berserker talk, much less see one wandering around unsupervised.

"I see. And where is you master?"

"My master was pre-occupied." The way the Berserker in front of him said the word 'master' made him curious, and the slight shiver the Berserker had, assured him he didn't want to know. "Master has asked me to go to the church to see who the overseer for this war was."

"To what purpose? I haven't told you my name yet."

"I didn't have to, all I needed to do was memorize your appearance. Oh, and she also asked me to deliver a message to you, specifically." This caught his attention, was Berserker's master someone he knew in the past?

"And what is the message?" The woman's gaze seemed to drift behind Risei, looking past him and at Tokiomi. She then leaned forward and whispered to his ear.

"I hope you'll take care of me, senpai." Kobayashi didn't really say it like that, and Tohru made it sound way more ominous as it should, not that Risei knew that. "And keep this between us." With that, Tohru discreetly slipped a piece of paper into his pocket.

Chills ran down Risei's spine, the way Berserker said it made him feel cold to the bone. Berserker's silky voice made it all the more unnerving for him. Berserker backed away from him, still having that smile on her face, a smile that really unnerved Risei, no matter how hard he tried to compose himself. Tohru saw through his façade and giggled, giggled.

"Well, that will be all. Farewell now." And with that, Tohru left the church. Leaving a slightly rattled Risei and a rather worried Tokiomi.

Risei turned to his son's teacher, trying to keep himself composed. "Did you get a look at her parameters?" Tokiomi nodded, and Risei made a mental note to grab a bottle of wine.

"There is much to discuss, Risei." Tokiomi left the room. Leaving Risei alone, who had his hand in his pocket, holding the piece of paper Berserker placed in his pocket.

Much to discuss indeed.

Meanwhile at an apartment, Kobayashi was on the couch, alone. She had sent Tohru out earlier to go to the Church and meet the Overseer of the war, while Kanna and Ilulu go on a little scouting trip.

See, Kobayashi's Noble Phantasm Chorogon: My family of Dragons allows her to summon either Tohru, Kanna, and Ilulu. Now, usually Kobayashi could only summon one at a time, and if she's using her own prana, she wouldn't be able to summon any of them at all.

But, fortunately for Kobayashi she's been summoned as a Ruler class Servant by the Holy Grail. The Ruler class are basically the judges of the Grail War, a last resort by the Grail to ensure that the Grail War goes without problems from troublemakers and cheaters. Regular masters can summon them, but it's a extremely rare occurrence, and it's usually the Grail who summons the Ruler class anyway.

That set off a lot of alarms in Kobayashi's head, the fact that she's summoned means something has forced the Grail to summon her as a Ruler class. Though the first thing that came to mind was freaking out. The problem is, she doesn't know what happened, and she doesn't know who or what caused it.

" Ugh, I need a drink." She wondered if there was any beer in the fridge. When Kobayashi arrived in Fuyuki City, she found a lonely shed in the woods – which was cliché as hell – and used it as her base of operations for the Holy Grail War.

She got up from the couch and headed to the fridge, for some beer. The "Shed" she was in bears a striking resemblance to the apartment Kobayashi and the Dragons lived in for most of the time they've known each other. In fact, it looked exactly like her old apartment, and that's because of one of Tohru's class skills, "Territory Creation" allows Tohru to create a replica of our old apartment that we've lived in for the past years. It was honestly a tiny shed turn into a full two-bedroom apartment, fully furnished, and complete with a kitchen inside.

Kobayashi took a can of beer from the refrigerator. "Now, how am I going to go about this?" She thought to herself as she took a sip of her beer. She had checked the newspaper earlier, it was definitely 1994, a full 22 years before her meeting with Tohru. She was probably 4 years old at this point, which made the chance that these mages knew her a moot point.

Contrary to popular belief, she knew several mages in her time – her boss and his son Shouta were mages themselves for Pete's sake - her presence in the Throne of Heroes is... kind of justified? 2-4 years since she met Tohru, and the other dragons – she can't quite remember the year – a few mages came into town to investigate a sudden spike in mana in the area. Then they found out about the dragons, and attempted to capture the humans associated with the dragons – cause' who would be stupid enough to capture a dragon – for questioning.

That went about as well as you think, and luckily Takiya, Shouta and herself were able to dissuade their respective dragons from utter slaughtering all of the mages involved. The three of them then answered their questions as carefully as they could – partly because the mages were super excited to see dragons – not willing to tell them that there were other dragons in town aside from the ones with humans.

Then shenanigans ensued and Kobayashi, Takiya, and Shouta found themselves stuck in a power struggle between the Japanese Onmyouji Magistrate – the organization of mages that captured them earlier – and England's Magus Association, who demanded the Magistrate hand over the dragons – probably because they were super jealous and couldn't accept that the dragons chose to live with the "weak" Japanese Onmyouji, and not with the "great" mages of England.

Not wanting a full on war to break out, and not wanting to be caught up in it, the three left for England – after telling Shouta's father to let Takiya and Kobayashi use their paid vacation time of course. More shenanigans ensued with some of the mages trying to assassinate one of the human hosts – and said hosts trying not to let the dragons kill the mages – and they arrived at the Clocktower, basically Magus Association Headquarters.

There they met director of the Clocktower, Lorelei Barthomeloi. Who treats the three of them with a varying amounts of respect, if only because of their association with dragons. Out of the three, she respects Kobayashi the most – even then she shows it by only calling her "Lady" Kobayashi, no more no less – as she has three full dragons, one of which is capable of bringing about the apocalypse – it seems even a vampire hunter like Barthomeloi wouldn't mess with a dragon, let alone three.

She asks them about the dragons, mainly why they started appearing now of all times. After being told of the ongoing war between the Chaos Faction and the Harmony Faction and pleads to the dragons – with as much dignity as possible – to not cause problems and expose themselves to the mundane. The dragons promise and they leave the Clocktower. Oh, and they met Rin Tohsaka as well, who freaked out when she saw the dragons and promptly fainted.

That was fun.

Since then things have changed, drastically. The number of mages since then have started doing research on trying to open a portal to the Reverse Side of the World where the dragons presumably came from rose dramatically. So, in short, Kobayashi was discovered by the mages of the world, and her presence became a big, big deal in the Moonlit World as someone sometimes compared to St. Martha if only for the fact that she also tamed a dragon.

So yeah, influence on the world? Not much, but enough.

Kobayashi took a sip of beer and pondered on what to do next. From past experiences she can safely guess that some if not most of the mages present in this war will be a little pretentious, self-centered, and arrogant – which is a huge understatement.

"I wonder if Tohru's okay?" She said to herself as she took another sip of beer. Normally she wouldn't worry much about Tohru – unless there are other dragons in Fuyuki in which she hoped Tohru didn't meet any of the more… zealous members of the Harmony Faction – but in a war that summons 7 Heroic Spirits of the past – all willing to fight for their lives for a wish – she can't take any chances.

Speaking of Heroic Spirits, she should talk to Tohru about the Servants that are going to appear in this war. Kobayashi personally didn't want to go up against one of the more powerful ones like Heracles, King Arthur, and especially not Siegfried. If what Fafnir told them about him from time to time were even remotely true - and it probably is - she's not sure if Tohru can go up against Siegfried.

"The next few days are going to be headache inducing. Yay." She thought sarcastically as she took another sip of beer.

By the time Tohru got back, Kobayashi is completely drunk.

Risei POV

"This is troubling." Thought Father Risei to himself as he took another sip of wine.

First there was the fact that an 8th Servant was summoned in the war. The fact that the 8th Servant wasn't one of the traditional 7 was a given, but Risei sincerely hoped this 8th Servant and its master won't cause any trouble. Hopefully this unorthodox Servant is as weak as the Avenger class Servant the Einzbern summoned in the 3rd war.

Then there was Berserker. Tokiomi looked at Berserker's stats earlier, and what he saw unnerved him, more than Berserker herself did. A sane Berserker capable of speech and rational thought was bad enough, but a sane Berserker with Mad Enhancement EX, a skill that grants it access to Caster related class skills, and a personal skill that amplifies its already terrifying magical capabilities?

Whoever summoned Berserker definitely won the lottery.

Speaking of Berserker's Master, that's another thing that worries him. The note that Berserker had given him was obviously from Berserker's master, but the implications of the words written in the note had rather… troubling implications.

"There's something in this war. -Ruler" That was what the note said. He didn't know what or who this Ruler is.

An alias perhaps?

He considered sharing the contents of the note with Tokiomi and Kirei, but considering Berserker might have figured out his connections to the Tohsaka, this Ruler might target him directly to ensure no one else knows about the note. So regrettable he chose not to divulge this new piece of information.

"I have a feeling… this war is going to be a mess."
