A/N: *EDIT*

BLOODY TYPO!

And the trolls are back in the comments, drowning out reviews.

Suspend your disbelief for this chapter.

You'll have a much better time that way. Hope you enjoy it~!

As ever, I own no references, quotes, or relation to certain media.

I just like to play around with words, that's what writers do these days, after all~!

Is anybody else getting duplicate notifications from the site every now and again? Bloody annoying that is.

Not only does it confuse me on how many reviews I'm getting for each chapter, but it keeps filling up my inbox like crazy.

I've been updating DAILY since the beginning of August and haven't missed a day yet. I hope that makes people happy. I really can't tell...

Also...

Could the trolls please stop? I've given up deleting the anonymous reviews, because they just reappear in an hour or so and its making me upset. I've also had a rather nasty chap known as "Doom Marine" chanting at me to kill myself in the review section of some stories. Look if you don't believe me. Jokes on him though, that's not my real name.

*Secondary Edit*

Remember, folks! Multiverse theory! I'm sorry if that upsets some people. I've gotten some harsh, biting words over it and I keep telling folks that I'm building a universe here. Its all connected, in the oddest sort of ways.

But these days...life really gets kinda hard sometimes, you know?

Especially with the flames...cruel...nasty, vicious flames...

...and that makes me a sad boy.

Still! I shall persevere!

Viva la updates~!

Now onto the questions!

How I missed answering these~!

Q: How many timelines are out there?

A: There are multiple endings and routes to be sure, branching paths from the true timeline. For example! Fate Stay Night has three ending sthat I'm sure most of you are aware of. Fate, Unlimited Blade Works, and Heavens feel. But for every true route and every ending. There are also...bad ends. Dead-end timelines spawned from a single bad choice, timelines that destroyed themselves. Yet sometimes Servants from those remain. Miserable beings crippled by pain and loss so deep that it changes them. They become Alters. Or worse...

Trust me when I say that the Servants from those are messed up.

Additionally, some Servants recognize Naruto because their memories of him are deeply engraved into their very souls. Case in point, in Grand Order Semiramis deeply remembers Shirou from all the events of Apocrypha and kiss they shared moments before they died. But she acknowledges that it wasn't "Her" but another Semiramis. So she's reluctant to act on those feelings.

All the timelines are slowly merging. Memories. Emotions. Souls.

And when they do, when the True Villain is finally revealed...

...they might have a bad time.

Mind you, we have a few candidates for that role. There are antagonists throughout the series to be sure, but none of these Dark!Naruto's are the big bad.

Q: Aren't you going to update other stuff besides Fate stories?

A: I have. Quite a bit in fact. Look through the list of recently updates tales for more information there.

Q: How in the hell are you updating daily? You sell your soul or something?

A: Nope! Cloned myself. Believe it or not, I write at work when I get the chance. Just...whip out the 'ol cell phone and start typing. Its a bit of a double-edged sword; on one hand I'm able to write far faster because of that but it also means writing's beginning to feel like work a little bit. I haven't had a change to go surfing in awhile since the start of august or do any of the other things I normally do either at that...

Hmm.

Problematic.

Q: When is A Most Unlikely Berserker coming out?

A: Soon! I need to update a few other things first, but its coming along nicely. Remember, I work two jobs and don't have much free time. Its easier to crank out smaller chapters for other stories but Berserker has a LOT of moving parts, which makes it a right difficult beast to reign in even on the best of days.

Q: Naruto's acting like Kakashi and trolling the world. Brilliant. Can't wait to see what he does next.

A: Damn straight. Its always nice to find a balance between drama and humor.

Now then, I think I've kept you folks long enough!

Timeskip of a few hours here, FYI...

"No. Not you. It can't be you...!"

~?

A Most Unlikely Misfortune

"You're late!"

"Am I, now?" Naruto tilted his head as he finished materializing on the bed.

"Yes!" the young magus sputter incoherently. "You are! You just left out of the blue! Give me some warning next time!"

His Servant uttered a jaw-popping yawn. "I was under the impression you didn't want me to be seen by your "grandparents", or somesuch."

Waver's protests lurched to a grinding halt in his throat as he slumped back into the chair he'd all but leaped out of. While it was true that he had hypnotized an elderly couple into believing that he was a relation of theirs, he hadn't done it with any malicious intent. With his funds at an all time low and the war about to commence, he desperately needed a place to stay. Somewhere he could lay low. A place that would be overlooked by the opposition. In that, he'd succeeded spectacularly. No one who called themselves a noble would dare dirty their nose by coming down here.

After all, who would think to look for a Master and Servant in a humble cottage?

Unfortunately, it also meant his Servant was able to come and go in his astral form as he pleased.

Which he'd done at some point when Velvet wasn't looking. Much to his consternation, he'd only just now returned.

"Still!" Reluctantly, he rallied. "You just left out of the blue without warning!I called for you three hours ago! Where were you?!"

A cheeky smile bloomed on the blond's face. "Why, that simple. I got lost on the road of life. Then a black cat crossed my path, so I had to go all the way around-

"BULL. SHIT."

That innocent grin warped into something decidedly deadly. "Good! You actually called me on it for once. You're learning."

Why did those words not fill him with Determination?

"Still," the Sage continued, "If you must know, my Master, I was scouting. Setting up supply caches, traps, ambush points, markers, seals, that sort of thing." Crossing his legs on the mattress, he leaned forward and gave him a flick on the forehead. "I even left one right here. You were never in any danger...although," his smile faltered a bit, "All those preparations did tax my energy a bit...

"How are you not tired?"

A glimmer of gold danced through those blue eyes.

"Sage Mode, pal. There was a REASON I wanted to sit still for a full day." the whiskered warrior paused, considering him anew. "You've got lots of heart, but a lot of my tricks are very chakra intensive, so I've been pulling from my own reserves...which reminds me!"

As he looked on, his Servant withdrew what appeared to be a scroll from his back pocket. A quick pulse of something was drawn down out into said scroll, allowing him to draw forth a neatly folded wad of bills that looked a great deal like...oho. Oho? Ohohoho! That was a lot of money. He'd never seen so much in one place before. So where had he gotten all of these? There was enough money there to live comfortably for several months, if not a year aaaaaaaaaaand he was pulling out more. Where was all this coming from?!

"Naruto, what the hell?!" Waver couldn't help but guffaw in sheer incredulity.

"What?!" His Servant sniffed. "You said it yourself; you needed money. So I mugged a few...dozen...gangsters. You'd be surprised how much they were carrying around."

"Did you mess with the mafia?!"

"Nope. Disguised myself." came the instant retort. "They're currently chasing a man who doesn't exist. I'll tell you about it later."

"Did you find anything else, then?" he ventured. In all honestly, he was almost afraid to ask.

"Something like that." that sly grin grew. "Hang on. First time's always a bitch."

Waver blanched as a hand seized his sleeve. "Wait, what are-

YOINK.

And the world lurched.

One moment he'd been sitting comfortably in a chair, rubbing the rising welt on his forehead; in the next Naruto grabbed him and they were, quite simply, somewhere else. In place of the gentle warmth of his room a cold breeze blasted across his face as he found himself standing atop the dizzying scaffold of a towering bridge overlooking a bay of water. Bereft of his balance the young magus pinwheeled his arms frantically to avoid going over the edge before Naruto reeled him back in like a drunken fish.

"Told you," his Servant hummed. "Hiraishin's a piece of work, it takes some time to get used to warping like that. Usually...

Inertia and sheer momentum caught up to Waver all at once and his stomach revolted violently.

"BLEARGH!

...that happens the first time." Naruto finished with a grimace.

So went the last tattered remnants of his meal, lost into the waters of the Bay.

"There, there." a hand coated in soothing chakra rubbed against his back. "You'll be alright, kiddo."

And he was, eventually.

Straddling a metal girder Waver reluctantly forced himself to sit still-lest he fall to his doom!-even as another stiff breeze battered at his face. From here, he found he had a prime vantage point of most of Fuyuki. He could see the deeper parts of the city in the distance, glimpse the docks further south, even see a few cars driving by below them without a care in the world. It felt...peaceful up here. Serene even. You could stay up here in the evening for hours, and no one would bother you. He didn't even notice when his Servant passed him a cold can of something-likely drawn from another of his scrolls-and only realized it was soda after he took a tentative sip.

"So?" Naruto prodded him. "What's our battle plan?"

Waver nearly snorted his drink. "Wait, you're letting me decide things now?"

"Yup." his comrade braced his hands on a steel beam and drank deeply of the night air. "I meant what I said earlier; if you're going to learn to lead, you might as well start early." Quick as a flash, his hand flitted forward to poke Waver's forehead again. "Now's as good a time as any...so lead away."

...I don't believe you." the boy grumbled, clutching his can. "This is another trick, isn't it?"

"Waver!" Naruto feigned a gasp and clutched at his chest. "You wound me, my adorable student! Why, to even suggest that I would be capable of such treachery! I am hurt!" He reeled as though he would topple backward and fall off the bridge at any moment. "Its too much! I cannot go on!"

"Alright, alright!" exasperation-and a faint smile-plucked at his expression as he watched his Servant right himself. "You win."

His ally waited patiently, head in his hands.

"Well," Waver managed weakly, "What you said earlier makes sense-we should gather more intel on the other Masters and Servants before we face them. After all," and here a faint touch of color rose to his cheeks as he remembered how all this had begun, "Kayneth was going to summon you, but since I stole your catalyst from him, its likely that he-

"Wait." a hand snapped up, forestalling him. "Run that bit by me again. The last part. You said you stole me?"

A pit of dread opened in the boy's stomach, threatening to swallow him whole. "Are you...angry?"

He wasn't prepared for the laughter, nor the sudden explosion of sound that followed.

"Bahahaha! Oh, kid! I didn't know you had it in you!"

This time, Naruto really did tumble off the bridge, though he caught himself and swung back up not a heartbeat later. There was a wild light to his eyes as he landed, a demented gleam that both comforted and concerned the young man at the same time. He nearly jumped when the Servant clamped a hand down on his shoulder.

"Looks like you're not as straight-laced as you lead others to believe, Master." he grinned, delivering him a strong slap on the back. "Keep this up, and I might have to reevaluate my opinion of you."

"Gurk." Waver said eloquently. "You're never going to let me live this down, are you?"

"Nope!" Naruto beamed and settled back into a loose crouch on the rusted steel once more. "So. This Kayneth fellow. What's he like?"

"He's an ass." Waver surprised even himself with his response.

"Hey now, don't stop there!" Naruto prodded him. "Tell me more! I wanna hear this!"

So he told him; he told him everything. Waver might fear his old teacher and the power he wielded, but in the same vein he also loathed Kayneth and all that he stood for. That man...not only had he humiliated him before his peers, but he'd gone so far as to tear up his research in front of everyone. His life's work. And then he'd insulted him for it. That insufferable smile, that arrogance, the wholehearted belief that he was better than all of them just because he'd been born into the right family, been spoon fed power and prestige...!

And at the end of it all Master and Servant both burst out into a fit of laughter.

"Well!" Naruto crowed. "I think we know who our first target is."

"Assuming he's in this war." Wave jabbed a finger into his ally's chest. "He might've given up, you know."

"No," An unfamiliar gleam glanced through the Sage's gaze. "Trust me, someone like him will never give up. His head's too far up his own arse to see daylight." Again, that small predatory smile bloomed. "I'd bet my right arm that he's involved in this war somehow. If he tries anything, I'll take him down."

A beat of silence passed between the two.

"I think I'm going to make you my apprentice when this War ends."

Waver nearly fell off the bridge and only narrowly caught himself. "Excuse me?!"

"You heard me. I never got around to training one in my lifetime. What, did you really think I'd just let the Grail take me once this is done? Nooooononono." Sage's hand waved in a dismissive chop as the wind continued to whistle around them. "Not happening. Not at all. I have plans, you see, though we'll have to find a way to work around those magic circuits of yours; I'm not certain they work the same as chakra...oh, wait!" golden eyes regarded him with a half-lidded expression. "Say, kid. I've got an idea." he leaned closer. "Do you know what chakra is?"

...I'm not going to like this, am I." Waver swallowed.

"Nope~!"

A distant pop of sound swallowed whatever words Waver might've mustered. Naruto must've heard it as well; because the Servant's eyes lit up. Sure enough, Waver saw the flare from afar; a distant beacon of light rising high into the sky before detonating in a shower of brilliant sparks. Waver followed its arc and immediately found its origin at the docks. Well. If that wasn't a blatant challenge, he didn't know what was. Could it be a trap of some kind? A ruse meant to lure them in? Was he simply being paranoid about all this?

In the end, the choice was made for him.

"Oh," Naruto murmured. "Looks like the party started without us. Lets get going, then! Our grand adventure awaits!"

In a single fluid movement, his Servant bounded upright. Lancing with impeccable balance he raised both arms and brought both thumbs to his mouth. Then he bit down. Hard. Waver grimaced as he watched a trail of raw red blood sluice down the blond's digits, but even as tried to ask what the devil his Servant was doing, the whiskered warrior brought both palms down atop the metal scaffolding with a triumphant shout. Black inky script webbed out from those bloodied hands to create a massive plume of smoke.

And the bridge creaked ominously.

Waver was a mage. He'd seen all manner of phenomena in his life, even a few mysteries and concepts that shouldn't theoretically exist. All of that paled compared to the sheer bulk of what he was looking at here and now before him, sitting atop the bent bridge as though it were no more than a house made of driftwood.

That was...a very large toad.

"Hey, Gamakichi!" Naruto waved up a the large red amphibian.

"You know him?!"

"Long time no see, Naruto!" the creature rumbled, drowning out Waver's incredulous shout. "You look good for a dead man."

"What can I say?" Rider beamed cheekily. "Death looks good on me these days. Mind doing me a solid? I need to get across the water in a hurry."

That great face loomed larger, nearly sending Waver fumbling off the bridge. "That depends, boss. You're not going to use Hiraishin on me again, are you?"

There was only the faintest pause. "N-Nope! No worries, old friend."

"Oh." a giant eye blinked. "Good. Hop on, then."

Before Waver-or Gamakichi-could even think to offer so much as a token of protest, Naruto grabbed the former and summarily vaulted atop the latter. The young magi had just enough time to latch onto the summon's all too leathery back before the toad tensed. Already taxed by his great bulk, the bridge bent even further, red steel warping with a horrendous shriek. Something told Waver it wasn't going to hold much longer. Naruto didn't much seem to care; he was already grabbing a handful of Gama's coat and holding on for dear life. The other latched onto Waver's right arm.

"Hold tight, kiddo."

In a single bound, the frog leaped.

And the bridge buckled.

Waver heard it before he saw it, for the sudden rush of wind was all but drowned out by the shrieking of shattering steel. Had that been the end of it, they might've escaped without drawing attention. As it stood however, the sheer force of Gamakichi's leap, coupled with his already impressive bulk, finally proved too much for the old thing. Steel and asphalt tore themselves apart, held on a moment longer, then pitched down into the black waters of the bay with a might splash.

THWOOM!

Thankfully, no one had been driving across it at that moment, but even so, the destruction was impressive and witnessed by dozens. There wasn't even anything left to salvage. Only destruction. Even as the unlikely trio hurtled away into the night-another mighty leap carrying them out onto the water-Waver could still see the scope of destruction as it receded into the distance.

"I...you..the bridge! Its gone! How did you...

Naruto chuckled sheepishly.

...oops? So, about that teleporting bit." He suddenly looked apologetic. "Yeah, you see...I may have...

He fished out a kunai from its sheathe and Waver went ashen. "Naruto, I swear to GOD-

Gamakichi growled. "Boy, don't you fucking DARE-

He grinned like a fox. "I may have lied."

With that, Waver's world turned inside out once more.

Ohgodgonnabesickagain...

Reality snapped back all at once and the poor boy narrowly had time to swallow his rising gorge before the ground rushed up to greet them. Gamakichi crashed into the docks with all the force of an avalanche; indeed, the giant toad's abrupt and sudden displacement of air ripped shipping containers and cranes alike from the ground. In the ensuing cloud of smoke, Waver sadly lot the battle with his stomach once more.

"Duck!"

Until someone seized him by the scruff of the neck.

A hooked lance cut through the dust to swing for his head only to be met by a giant webbed hand as Naruto's mount trapped them against the ground. The other assailant proved wilier, aborting their leap to vault away lest she likewise be captured by the toad. For a moment, just a moment, Waver glimpsed a snarling face under a black cap and a body clad in a blue muffler before they retreated into their astral form. Then the toad snarled and he realized the fist Servant that he'd captured had simply hacked through his hand and escaped in a bloodier fashion.

To make matters worse, Rider chose that moment to banish the haze entirely with a blast of wind.

Too late, Waver recognized his Servant's expression.

Surely he wasn't going to...

"Sorry for the interruption!" much to his abject horror Naruto planted his feet, threw his head back and stroke up an absurd pose, flinging up one arm as he cackled madly. "My name is Uzumaki Naruto! My class is Rider! If anyone's hiding, then come out! I'll take you all on! Wahahaha!"

...he was gonna.

"RIIIIIIIIIDER!" Waver wailed!

"What?! I can be honest when I want to be!"

Waver wanted to scream. To tear at his hair and run away.

As luck would have it, they had crashed headlong into the middle of a Servant's battle; worse, they'd instantly gained the ire of both opponents. Though he was safe and secure atop Gamakichi's head, it didn't change the fact that they were in the middle of a war. Any Servant worth their salt could jump high enough to reach them. He felt exposed out here, even with Rider at his side. They could be attacked at any moment, torn apart into little pieces and whywhywhydidhethinkhewasreadyforthis?!

"Ho?" one of the Servants purred. "You have some nerve interrupting our battle. You even let my prey escape."

Without thinking, he rounded on the voice.

Looking at her eyes...hurt.

Here was a peerless yet cruel beauty, her voluptuous body clad in a flowing black robe that both tempted and teased anyone foolish enough to stare overlong. Vicious red ink threaded across her visible skin, lending hints as to what lay beneath her sinful attire. Her pale visage narrowed in disgust, as she swept a hand through her pale hair. Those golden eyes gleamed furiously, almost with a hint of something. She dared half of a hesitant step forward, careful to stay out of Gamakichi's reach.

"You seem...familiar, boy." there it was again. That flicker of hesitation. "Have we met...?"

"Beautiful, I'd remember someone like you." Naruto shot back. "Definitely."

"Foolish boy," she snarled, "Don't you know snakes eat toads?"

"Honey, you could eat me all day." Naruto snarked back.

Her nose wrinkled. "How crude."

"Blame my upbringing."

This was undoubtedly Lancer, or so Waver reasoned. He could see the hooked weapon she wielded-avoid the eyes!-and the way she'd struck at him earlier suggested a bloodthirstiness that he wanted no part of. Even now she was looking at him like he was a prime cut of meat to be devoured. His anxiety spiked further still. Oh god. He was going to have a panic attack at this rate. He clutched at his head and hunched down, trying to make himself as small a target as possible, even as he saw the woman tense and knew it was all for naught...

"So it was you, of all people." a new voice chimed.

Waver's heart skipped a beat; because he knew that tone.

It made him want to curl up and hide, to shrivel away and die.

"I was wondering what madness compelled you to steal my relic," familiar words echoed into the night, "But I never imagined that you were planning on entering the Holy Grail War yourself...Waver Velvet." the magus all but curled in on himself as someone stepped out of the shadows, fear overriding common sense. "Perhaps I'll have to give you some extra lessons as a special case. The true meaning of magi killing one another...

No doubt about it now.

That was most assuredly his old teacher Kayneth sneering down at him, stepping out of the shadows of a shipping crane. "Yes, I'll teach you ALL about the fear and pain involved. You should feel honored-GACK?!"

A stone sailed out of the darkness and struck him right between the eyes, cutting off his seething diatribe.

"And there's the arse of the hour!" Naruto stabbed a finger forward. "You must be Kayneth."

"I am LORD El-Melloi, yes." the noble bristled viciously, rubbing his forehead.

"Great." Naruto hummed. "I'm gonna kill you now."

Kayneth all but choked.

"Wha-?!"

"See this kid? " A hand planted itself on Waver's shoulder and shook him for emphasis. "He's not just my Master. He's gonna be my apprentice. This young man has more heart and soul then you could ever dream of! He actually came into battle with me. You were going to summon me? I don't think so! Just look at you! Skulking about in the shadows while your Servant does all the work. Come down here and fight us yourself if you want to talk big, little man!"

Kayneth absolutely hissed. "Lancer, change of plans. Kill that boy's Servant. Now."

"With pleasure-

Lancer never had the chance to finish that sentence.

In that moment a swirl of black smoke manifested between them.

Whomever this was, she looked to have seen better days. Their horned helmet had been beaten and battered, one such horn all but snapped off at the base. Indeed, their armor might've been pure once upon a time, but now that silver-and-red suit was little more than tarnished steel shot through with blue-black plate. Snatches of crimson carvings could be seen as the newcomer crept forward. Slowly, jerkily, their helmet turned towards Naruto. Their body stiffened. Froze. Then it began to tremble.

That ghastly helmet snapped down to reveal their face.

Corrupted steel disassembled rapidly, exposing a visage similar to that of the cap-clad Saber...yet wholly different. Hers was a rough beauty, a tan face gone pale, shot through with veins of corruption. Her eyes might've been green once upon a time; now they were wide and gold and brimming with madness.

"You...you...I'LL KILL YOU!"

Naruto swore softly to himself. "Well. Shit."

Then his opponent smacked him right off Gamakichi's head and into the earth.

If the enemy Servant was howling at him the entire time, Waver pretended not to notice.

Mordred, once the knight of Rebellion, now a twisted wreck of her former self, lunged forward.

A/N: MAKE SURE YOU READ THIS!

Some classes have been changed! So read on!

Why, you ask? Because it contains important information.

If you don't read it you're going to be lost. You don't want that, do you?

Now, then! in terms of classes-while listing all their Masters-we have the following!

Saber=Mysterious Herione X. Her Master is Emiya Kiritsugu, clearly. Poor bastard. I almost pity him.

Berserker=Mordred. Her Master is Kariya this time around for reasons that will be explained. *EDIT* Berserker!Mordred doesn't strictly in the Fate canon yet. I mean, she DOES and we're likely going to get her soon but we haven't gotten an image of her to my knowledge. I'll change her appearance when its official.

Lancer=Adult Medusa. Her Master is Kayneth. She appeared in the Fate Grand Order movie.

Asssassin=Carmilla. (Guess which form!) Her Master is Kotomine.

?=?. Master not yet named.

Archer=*whistles innocently* Their Master will be Ryunosuke.

Caster= GILGAMESH. Of course, their Master is none other than, Tokiomi.

Sage=Naruto. His Master is the one and only, Waver Velvet.

Also, trolling Naruto is best Naruto, but he's serious when it counts as you've seen.

LISTEN!

The Mordred is this story is an Alter. A different iteration of Mordred, a Servant from a timeline where everything went wrong. She. Is not. From Unlikely Berserker. Not the true ending. To put it bluntly? She's from a bad end. An alternate end. An ending where things went terribly, horribly wrong. AN ENDING WHERE EVERYONE DIED.

Consider that for a moment before anyone starts throwing flak.

What's that you say? An extra Servant? That's deliberate. This is one of those rare wars that has an additional class. Speaking of class! Before anyone complains, Medusa is a recurring theme in some -but not all-of these stories for a REASON. Girl's got so many classes its not even funny. First there's her Child!Lancer form in A Most Unlikely Assassin. Then we have her Rider form in Caster and another story. She's Gorgon in A Most Unlikely Saber. And now someone tells me she's getting an Assassin class?! EH?!

Reviews are love, Reviews are Life. Reviews keep me alive.

Despite the flamers and harassers howling for my head.

So In the Immortal Words of Atlas...

...Review, Would You Kindly?

And enjoy the previews!

Get ready for feels.

(Previews)

"Hang on, Waver!"

"Wait, why did you say-YEARGH?!"

Assassin laughed.

"My, my! You're a new face, boy!"

"Sorry, I wanna keep my blood where it is thankyouverymuch!"

"You're...sparing me? But why?! I tried to kill you!"

He didn't move. "Hit me if you want to. I won't dodge this time."

So she did. He only turned the other cheek. And the other. Again and again.

"I hate you!" she cried! "You have his face! You're just like him! But you're not him!"

She struck him again and he grunted as she raged. "It was all his fault! Where was he?! WHERE DID YOU GO?!"

He only moved when she drew her sword; and even then only to catch her wrist. Then the other when she lashed out. That was all it took.

"You left when I needed you most...I died because of you...you said you would be there and you weren't! You promised! You swore! YOU LIED!"

Sobbing, she collapsed against him, madness draining from her eyes. "Liar...liar...

Naruto awkwardly patted her back.

"I see, I see. So you're Caster Gilgamesh. That's...good?"

Caster didn't waver in the least. "You're still my enemy, regardless."

Naruto's smile turned strained. "I really don't want to fight you, ya know."

"Then you are wiser than I thought."

He didn't hesitate; the moment his fellow blond opened the book, he ducked.

And the air boiled gold.

Ryunosuke croaked in horror.

"Ribbit." he said softly. "Ribbit? RIBBIT?!"

"Did...did you just turn that guy into a frog?!"

Sage yawned. "What? Little punk was being loud. Strange, it doesn't usually work on mages...now, where did his Servant go-

The air boiled. "GET DOWN!"

R&R!=D
