Sorry for the late update guys, I think it's been about just over 58 days since I last updated this fic and about 48 days since I last updated any of my stories here as well. Truthfully I have about 5000 words of this done back on the 20th of Jan and I just kind of (to my shame) got sidetracked with other ideas, trying to make new chapter for other fics and crossovers I write and my Campione and Type-MOON Quest Path of the Godslayer overon Sufficient Velocity. Also I have been hit not with writers block but with a wave of lethargy that is hard to shake off. Anyway thanks to, FateLover, Mr. Haziq, and warrior of six blades for your ideas and reviews thank you for your support.

I managed to get out this chapter before a full two months could pass so at least I can take a little comfort in that, though after this chapter the pace will probably -I'm not making any promises as it seems my fics have a mind of their own- pic up the pace, you'll soon see why at the end.

Also this is this fic's thirtieth Chapter (the prologue doesn't count) so I am quite happy with it, since this is my longest running and longest fic

"Come on and get your game on!" Jayden is seen raising his arm as the waves crash about him before the scene freezes and fades away.

"Things would have been so much better back then. If we had heard each other's voices. I hate myself. I was selfish, and I never thought about anyone else's feelings. Since then, my classmates have all looked down on me. I've lived for seventeen years, and I haven't lived one of them as a good person. The only time I heard your voice was when we got into that fight. And what pisses me off the most is the fact that I haven't changed at all since back then! But. But now, I think I can understand what you were saying. Nishimiya. Me and you. Can we be. friends? Shit! I went way too far! I was just gonna apologize and get out of here! Why the hell did I end up asking her to be friends?. Why did I even say that?! Jeez, that's so embarrassing! How can you even say that?" -Shouya Ishida, Koe no Katachi

In the last batch of students to be evacuated from the Academy, all of them were silent as they were flown to wherever it was that Seto Kaiba had decided was a safe place for them to be evacuated to. It was a heavy and an awkward silence born of worry and concern. As they were getting onto the Kaiba Copter they had been ambushed by a member of the Society of Light, Professor Stein the lecturer in charge of their group had opted to stay behind to prevent said member of the Society of Light from assaulting and converting any of the students. While Stein's lectures were not loved by the academy students, the professor's voice being bland and monotone, not to mention painful to listen to for long periods of time. He was no Crowler who they would cheer to see go down, if only because on Crowler's part no one really liked him. That and Stein was in fact a good professor to them.

"He'll be alright Jaden" Bastion comforted his friend whom it was obvious that the member of the Society of Light was especially interested in "Professor Stein is no pushover." The Ra Yellow's go at confidence was based on the fact tat the professor was a literal walking encyclopaedia when it came to duelling. In Bastions educated and usually accurate assessment no one could know that much about Duel Monsters and not be able to play it well themselves. The two practically walked hand in hand when it came to duelling, that said no one had ever seen the professor duel before.

Jaden nodded sadly, like he had let someone own, it was almost as bad if not worse than his small depression from last year about the Shadow Riders. Jaden and the others never fully explained, Bastion didn't like being left out of the loop but the Ra Yellow assumed that it was a Slifer only secret.

"There is no shame in doubt?" A voice asked snapping Jaden out of his reverie, he had only heard that voice once before, and it was during a similar situation to this. Though Jaden himself would admit that the stakes may be a bit higher than last time, that said Jaden knew this time there was more going on than he believed. Looking up Jaden was reminded of how he had been in a similar position before, said Duel Spirit standing over him, looking at him yet not truly focused, his gaze off into a scene that only he could perceive, perhaps it was the future that the Duel Spirit was gazing at. "I will ask you the same question I did back then" Kaibaman stated towering over Jaden "can you rise by your own power?" Still not directing his gaze towards Jaden the Duel Spirit then added "If you can then do so" he instructed "if you cannot that is where it ends" Kaiba man explained to Jaden.

Shaking his head Jaden attempted to rise but was to firmly secured to the seat since he was strapped in, this amused Kaibaman who laughed though it was in good humour. "You already know the consequences of defeat so you must rise higher" he Duel Spirit informed him "triumph and disaster, you must learn to treat those two imposter just the same." It was amazing how well Kaibaman could speak to a person without actually looking at them, you had to come up to his level for that. "That battles you are fighting now have higher stakes than before" the Duel Spirit stated "you are aware of this, but be warned, those who threaten your new friend Hakuno Kishinami are far more dangerous than you realise." This made Jaden's blood run cold "while their leader's goal is noble, as long as humans as they are now exist it cannot be achieved" the Duel Spirit explained. "Remember that while you do not have to fight alone you must also let him know that despite all the pain and hardship you are also there for him through it all." Kaibaman was actually rather passionate, it showed "Even if it is the smallest of difference do not lose hope, rise, no matter how many times you fall."

Unlike the Slifer Red Bastion could not see Duel Spirits, At times he was envious of those who could. the Ra Yellow himself had learned whenever Jaden or Chazz would be conversing with one ad from what he saw Jaden was showing all the symptoms of conversing with a Duel Spirit. "I just hope whoever it is they are not giving Jaden any bad news" Bastion thought, Jaden missing out on a duel was enough to upset him, but given the situation of his last challenge it was more concerning since someone had opted to stay behind, though Bastion suspected that Professor Stein was fine.

Amused by what was going through Bastion's head Kaibaman chuckled "you have a good friend over there, just make sure you let him know you appreciate his efforts" the Duel Spirit informed Jaden. "If not he will feel a little too insignificant to your group, which he is not" Kaibaman explained.

That last part made Jaden himself chuckle "don't worry, we won't ever let Bastion feel that way" he assured Kaibaman. "Thanks for helping me out again, I really needed that" the Slifer Red thanked the Duel Spirit. "So I take it you aren't Kaiba since he is still on Duel Academy" Jaden inquired.

"I am Kaiba yet I am not Kaiba" Kaibaman replied "I am the same person but not of the same existence" the Duel Spirit explained. "I am the ally of justice he sought to create when he made this card in homage to himself, it was rather arrogant" he stated and chuckling at the irony of what he said. "But I'm afraid my time here draws to a close" Kaibaman informed Jaden "there is much work for me to do back there, remember to take care of yourself and your friends." With this said Kaibaman instead of vanishing opted to leap out of the copter and vanish as he was falling into the ocean.

Jaden couldn't look off into the ocean to see where Kaibaman had vanished exactly since like the rest of the students he was securely strapped to his seat. "Jumping off into the ocean and vanishing before you reach the waters surface is a cool way to go" the Slifer red noted with awe in his voice.

"Jaden, I think that's been done before" the Bastion stated solemnly. "Are you suggesting that you just watched a Duel Spirit steal a scene from a classic JRPG or were you in fact talking to the protagonist of the tenth instalment in a series that doesn't understand the meaning of the word 'final'?"

Now unlike most who slacked off, Jaden only had Duel Monsters on his mind, so the reference that Bastion made flew straight over the Slifer Red's head It could have gone through it and had the same effect as well. "Well he does belong as the rival or main character from one of those games" Jaden reflected recalling there was indeed a video game released where you after a long grind unlock and play as Kaibaman who himself had been a secret boss. Not that Jaden played it much, he only bought the game so he could enter the draw to win a rare card "yeah he is I guess" Jaden replied.

A frown Meltlilith worked its way onto her face "Why now that those new Servants are here threatening Sempai do we have to wait?" The sentiment behind those words was shared by the other members of the Sakura five, not that they were arrogant enough to complain, that was just Meltlilith.

"There is no need to be so anxious Meltlilith" Violet the most mature and responsible out of the five answered her younger sister. "If Hakuno Kishinami were truly in any real form of danger do you believe for one second any of us BB included would just be biding out time like how we are now?"

The truth behind that rankled Meltlilith's ego "I can only speak for myself, how am I supposed to know if you love sempai just as much as I do?" The Alter Ego replied, Meltlilith did not like being wrong nor did not like being looked down at "I just want to express my love to Sempai already."

Violet's eyes grew cold at this statement "if you could even call that love" she rebuked. "You would not take into account Hakuno's own feelings deeming yours to be the only one's that are correct" she stated "taking him into your being where you will keep him all to yourself for all eternity."

"That is the love that I can offer Sempai" Meltlilith declared not in the least bit ashamed "I already love Sempai so much that I do not need to talk to him about it, the pleasure I gain from touching Sempai is already unneeded. I love him so much that I do not need a mutual understanding." Despite giving this declaration for the hundredth time Meltlilith was far from done "unlike the rest of you my core is only made up of devotion to Sempai, my love is the only thing he will need and I will protect him from all foreign bodies for all eternity" the Alter ego gushed like a lovesick schoolgirl.

Most of the other Alter Ego's just ignored this however the smallest and most friendly of them decided that this speech was worth of applause. "Onee chan you really do love sempai very much" the non radical Sakura Kazuradrop stated in a cheerful and childish manner "then again we all do."

"I'll protector Sempai" Kinprotea said in a very sweet tone "then I'll earn his love instead of forcing it from him" the little girl declared. "Then" the Alter Ego looked at her holographic true form "I'll be able to share Sempai's warmth and love, and I'll never have be cold or lonely again" she stated.

Violet could not help but roll her eyes at her younger sisters antics, whenever their conversations turned to speaking about Hakuno Kishinami they ended up caught up in their own delusions and fantasies. Not that the Alter Ego could blame her fellows for doing so. She too was just obsessed with Hakuno Kishinami as the other members of the Sakura five were, if not more so. She wished to keep the former NPC to herself, to be the one to have control over him, to monopolise Hakuno Kishinami for lack of a better word. But unlike the other's she did not get caught up in such a fantasy, they had to share him. BB would not allow any single one of the Alter Egos to have sole access to the Champion of Moon Cell, and once their creator obtained a certain ring that had power over SERAPH they could all be with their Sempai. Violet wished BB would be able to achieve this goal quickly.

"Still" she began "there is this Duel Spirit or whatever he is, now taking active part in this whole situation, annd he might have taken an interest in Hakuno Kishinami" Violet explained. Seeing that she now had her sister's attention Violet continued "for now I suggest we just observe his actions." The reactions from the other four Alter Egos were as Violet hoped they would be. All four of them had snapped out of their own little worlds and were now focused on something. Hakuno could distract them but the former NCP also gave them focus. That was just one reason why Violet loved him.

At this very same moment a certain masked Duel Spirit that had a fondness for white dragons with blue eyes supressed a shiver. The Duel Spirit felt as though he was now under the gaze of some rather rabid beasts that were just waiting for an excuse to tear him to shred. He was right about this.

While he hid it well, Ruler was able thanks to her being a Heroic Spirit tell that Maximillion Pegasus was indeed hiding something concerning Ruler from her. Though from how their interaction went the Maid of Orleans felt that it was not due to ill intent nor foul purpose, but that only made it worse for Jeanne de Arc. If Pegasus was doing it for ill purposes it would not strain on her own moral compass to stop the creator of the modern Duel Monster System or even kill him. However things were never that simple, the situation with the Black Faction, the Magi that were the catalyst for this mess seemed almost tame by comparison. Also the entire situation with the Yggdmillennia's seemed more black and white to the grey she was currently in. Seto Kaiba and Pegasus were not Master's nor were they involved in the Grail War yet due to the Red Faction had been dragged into it.

"A penny for your thoughts oh patron Saint of captives and soldiers" a voice called out to the Maid of Orleans. While Ruler was not overly bothered with being shown respect to her person, as a Ruler class Servant her position did demand respect and obedience from other Servant. The one who had said this lacked any form of respect and only had amusement in his voice. Whether said amusement was at Jeanne de Arc or at something else entirely remained unknown. However the Servant now made himself known assuming physical form in front of her. "You look troubled" he stated.

This Servant caused Ruler to frown, she could not discern his name nor his identity, given her True Name Discernment skill this was definitely not usual. "I know you not" Ruler stated, she was trying to end the conversation as this Servant Before her was truly unreadable and not just to her sight.

The red mantled Servant shrugged "most do not" he agreed with Jeanne de Arc "then again as a Heroic Spirit in the Grail War isn't hiding ones identity crucial to success? Our connection to the Throne allows us access to sensitive information regarding other Heroic Spirits if we do learn of the."

Such a suggestion only made the Maid of Orlean's frown deepen, either the red mantled Servant whose name and class she could not discern was ignorant or he was simply trying to press her buttons. While he was unreadable Ruler suspected that it was the latter more so than the former when it came to this Servant. "That was not what I meant" she informed him "as the Servant chosen as Ruler I am able to discern the identities of Servants I encounter." Her explanation only served to garner and amused smirk from the tanned Servant "with you however I cannot see anything" she stated.

A new voice was heard, this one more richer and full of life "you sure ask a lot of questions" the newcomer stated as he appeared out of thin air. Her wore a helmet reminiscent of some sore of eagle that hid the top of his face, his long brown hair fell neatly down to his waist. What Jeanne found interesting however was that e was wearing the same sort of card pendant that she had seen Seto Kaiba wearing. "Shouldn't a hero of your status be able to figure out the truth for herself" he challenged. Jeanne was stumped as to what the man before her was, she could not read see his name either.

"You sound like the man named Kaiba yet you are not him" Ruler noted "what are the two of you? I know at least one of you is a Heroic Spirit however I cannot sense a Noble Phantasm from either of you. Do you have some skill that you possessed in life that prevents me from knowing you?"

The masked, helmeted man laughed richly at this "did I not say that one such as you should be able to figure it out for herself?" The masked heroes reminder stung Jeanne a little "despite the age you lived in you are in possession of a sharp mind, perhaps you should try using it" he suggested.

Turning away from Ruler the red mantled Servant spoke "I thought you would be with the students ensuring their safety" he stated. "Though given that you are hear I suspect that your aid would not be required if they found themselves in trouble and that you have great faith in their capabilities."

Laughter came from the masked man who was not Seto Kaiba yet at the same time he may have been. "Yes" he agreed "my aid for them is unneeded" he informed the two Heroic Spirits "Jaden and his friends are more than capable of fighting their own battles against the Light of Destruction."

Those last three words drew in Jeanne's attention, it seemed that this man, or whatever he was knew something that most others didn't. "The Light of Destruction?" Jeanne repeated what had been said just before unsure of what to think of such a concept due to her Christian origins and beliefs.

All amusement left the masked man's face as it took on a serious expression "the Light of Destruction is the light that seeks to destroy the universe or universes, pardon the paradox of using that term" he explained. "It has succeeded on quite a few occasions" he informed Ruler rather solemnly.

"But you would leave it to a bunch of high school students to defeat it?" Jeanne was not entirely sure of the man's confidence in the boy Jaden when he mentioned the last part. "Wouldn't it be easier for someone more experienced to defeat this Light of Destruction as you put it than a the boy?"

The smirk returned to the masked man's face "that is precisely what happened here" he informed the Maid of Orleans. "Usually it is able to manipulate events so that everything goes according to plan" he stated "however it chose the wrong pair to enforce this plan this time and they have failed."

From what he was suggesting, Ruler was able to discern that, the Light was part of the reason that Pegasus and Kaiba were here. Also it seemed that the Red Faction coming here did derail whatever the Light had planned for this Island. In the end Jeanne noted it all came back to one person Saver.

"However, despite this those of us who seek to stop it cannot due to our nature not being able to banish the Light" the masked man said. "From what I have seen an exorcism used by your nemesis can free them, but only one has the power to naturally banish the Light from this world, only one."

Ruler's eyes widened in horror as the full scope of what the masked man "you mean that boy, Jaden" ruler gasped in horror at the weight of responsibility that the cheerful Slifer Red must bear on his back. "You are telling me that he is the only one capable of defeating this Light of Destruction?"

For his part the masked man shook his head at Jeanne's horror "this is not the first time Jaden has stepped up to the plate" he informed her. "Nor is it the first time those who sought destruction and domination have been defeated by the unlikeliest of opponents, do not underestimate the youth." Passion now filled the masked man's voice "without realising it, Jaden took his first steps towards being a hero as a mere child" he stated "even the deck he chose to use is known as the elemental HERO deck. As such burden of being a called to greatness has always rested heavily on the shoulder's Jaden Yuki this is the price of being a hero in the modern age, where man is more cynical. Where now evil is able to take root in the hearts of may leaving them apathetic to the atrocities that occur as long as they can continue with their normal lives, this is the true burden of heroism" he declared.

While she wanted to argue Ruler did admit that the masked man who was not Seto Kaiba did raise some valid points. Being a hero in this day and age constituted more than just winning a war or saving lives, you could not be morally questionable and had to appear untouchable to the masses, faultless as it were. Inwardly Jeanne de Arc sighed shaking her head in sadness rather than disagreement as she walked past the two of them, one a Servant the other she was not sure what he was. What Ruler was sure of was that she needed time to herself and to plan how to defeat the Red Faction.

Kaiba internally groaned as he saw the footage with his masked lookalike in it. "Something the matter Kaiba boy?" Pegasus asked a highly amused expression on his face "like how you are in two places at once and dressed up like Blue Eyes White Dragon in this footage" the old man suggested.

"I regret ever making that card" Kaiba grunted, in truth he didn't since it allowed him to special summon a Blue Eyes White Dragon from his hand to the field of play as long as he tributed said card. But that didn't mean he couldn't complain about the similarities between him and the Duel Spirit.

Pegasus on the other hand was enjoying this, he knew that this would come to bite Kaiba in his rear at some point. "Are you feeling nostalgic Kaiba boy?" He asked "because over there it looks like what you wore when you hosted that tournament to gather all three of the Egyptian god cards." This did not get a reaction from Kaiba, he had destroyed the Duel Towers since it was a place where his hatred resided, the rival to Yugi Moto did not care to be reminded of how his actions had helped Yugi gather all three of the Egyptian God cards either. Proof that Kaiba had laid the past to rest.

"Actually that gave me an idea" Kaiba finally replied, after the events in Battle City he and Mokuba left to go build an American amusement park. While that was in America he did have a more duelling orientated facility near where they have temporarily evacuated the Student of Duel Academy. Seeing that Pegasus was a bit confused Kaiba chose to elaborate for the creator of the modern Duel Monster system. "The place where we have evacuated the Students of Duel Academy is temporary at best, I do have facilities that we can move them to until the situation over here calms down."

"Your facilities in Domino City would be too obvious" Pegasus commented "from what we are seeing on the camera's here Sartorius and the 'D' are hanging their followers out to dry as they make their escape" he explained. "That would be one of the first places those two would try to check."

The thought made Kaiba scoff "if those two will never set foot in Domino city I will have their ship sink the moment I have clarification that they are heading there" he stated. "No a two years ago I entered a joint project with Zigfried von Schroeder" he explained causing Pegasus to raise an eyebrow. "We were testing simulating duels, something for kids to have fun with before they entered Duel Academy and got committed" Kaiba explained. "The Facilities we used were on a man made Island that I own, so it would be no trouble to have them relocated there instead" he suggested.

"That is an interesting proposal Kaiba boy" Pegasus admitted "though I have to ask will it be possible, to house the entire staff and students of Duel Academy there?" Then the white haired man added as an afterthought "also did this venture of yours succeed?" This part did very much interest him.

"To your first question yes, we tried out plenty of things and had large enough facilities that we can safely house all the staff and students" Kaiba replied. "As to your second question it will be start released in about winter, we only just have finished working all of the bugs out of the system."

Pegasus smiled "oh you want to see it used before you start selling it to the general public is that it Kaiba boy" he complimented Kaiba. "You are rather shrewd, duelling with a friend without having to go over to visit is rather ingenious" he deduced the rest of what Kaiba had been working on.

An irritated grunt was the response Kaiba gave as he fished out his phone from his pocket and dialled a number before relaying instructions to his subordinates. The Blue Eyes White Dragon user then repeated the process a two more time, most likely due to having to also call the facility staff. "Hopefully that will take their mind off the fact that we just had to evacuated the entire Academy from the Island minus the security" Kiba said to himself more so than Pegasus. "The smarter ones are no doubt asking questions and will figure out there is more to it than just the Society of Light if we don't keep them distracted." This got a nod of agreement from Pegasus, It was a miracle in itself that they prevented the students -sans Hakuno's friends- from learning about the Heaven's Feel or Grail War. Even then those that knew didn't know about the Servants of the Red faction directly.

"I agree" Pegasus spoke "the less that know about this situation the better, Saint or not Ruler complies with the Rules of this bloodsport so she will kill if it is necessary." The admission was a sobering one, even if one could come to terms with it. "It is best if she doesn't have a reason to kill."

Once the Maid of Orleans was out of earshot and out of sight Archer turned to his compatriot, it was not the two of them had ever met before as the Wrought Iron Hero could definitely say that he had never met this masked spirit before that very moment when he appeared to both Ruler and Archer himself. No it was that the two of them somehow were able to be on the same wave length that they were able to artfully convince Ruler into worrying about something else other than who Saver was for the moment. "You have my thanks for helping protect Hakuno" the Counter Gordian stated.

Chuckling the masked man replied "think nothing of it" he stated "it would be for the best that the one she seeks identity remain a secret for now." the masked man explained, he did very much sound like Seto Kaiba. "That and the two of us are both Allies of Justice are we not?" He asked Archer.

Shrugging Archer replied "I guess you could say that" given his back story one would expect Archer to be more snarky about such a comment, referring to it as childish and unnecessary. But this Archer was not that broken creature that wore his face in the fifth Grail War all those years ago. "Though I would say that you make a much better one that I did" Archer stated, thinking back on his past and the mistakes he had made, including the one that lead to his death, the mistake of trusting his closest friend not to have him killed by the human court system, not that he resented them.

Archer's masked counterpart in being an 'ally of justice' scoffed at this remark "I am not as forgiving as you were" he stated. "If someone were to betray me in the way you were betrayed, even if it was by your ideals and not your friend I would not even let death stop me from setting things right."

"Perhaps that is why you are a much better ally of justice than I could ever be" the Wrought Iron Hero suggested "that sense of justice does seem to be strong though being killed in your case isn't really much of a hindrance." Archer was referring to the masked man's current state of being. "That said while I may have not held it against him, others who held me close to their hearts didn't" Archer said rescaling how even as his death drew nigh his mantle was taken up by others and the one who had lead him to his doom had been punished most harshly by those who cared for Archer in life.

Nodding in approval the masked man spoke "it is only fitting that for his actions the one who responsible is in turn, turned on and meets the fate they sought to escape." The irony of it did cause the two to chuckle, mainly for the same reason "I see that is a bit of poetic justice at it's strongest."

"More like laser guided karma, though you are correct" Archer replied using a more modern term to describe what happened. "Either way that is in the past and there is nothing I can do to change it, save wishing upon the Grail and I think I will refrain from that due to quite a few reasons."

Thee Masked man shook his head "other than the fact that there is a truth to wish granting devices or artefacts either being false and not being able to fulfil wishes or coming at some unspeakable price that defeat the point of the wish. I think I only need two" the masked man informed Archer.

Shaking his head since it seemed that his counterpart was pretending to make it a competition Archer playfully sighed, deciding to play along with the masked man. "It seems that everyone is a critic I guess" he stated before the two of them burst out laughing at the words spoken and the truth to them.

Sitting down in the allocated place, Hakuno had just finished dealing with both Jack and Nursery Rhyme, sighing the former Npc contemplated on what he may have just inadvertently unleashed. "While it is nice that the two of them get along like a fish in water, I more concerned as to what mischief they could get up to." If Alice and Jack were not Heroic Spirits with immense power and potential at their disposal the victor of Moon Cell would not have been so concerned, the problem was they were. Not to mention Jack was the infamous and legendary Jack the Ripper of all people.

"Hey" a familiar voice called out to the former Npc "they'll be fine" Robin Hood stated as he materialised near Hakuno. "Despite the two of them acting and having childish demeanour they are anything but" the Legendary Green Man explained "they won't be having 'fun' while we are in a crisis."

"Crisis?" Hakuno echoed the final words, questioning their accuracy, they weren't really in a crisis as far as he could tell, Gil and the others were more than enough to crush the Red faction if they came into the inevitable conflict between the two Ruler Class Servants. What made Hakuno hesitant to face them was that for a change he was the one to hold the advantage, and a seemingly overwhelming one at that. Which was what made the former NPC cautious, most of his opponents in Moon Cell had underestimated him in one way or another. Well it was Hakuno Kishinami here and not them so that was all that needed to be said on the matter, thus the reason Hakuno was hesitant to face the Red Faction since he did not know all of their capabilities or specifically, their leader Amakusa Shirou Tokisada.

The Youth Saint was definitely a Heroic Spirit and not one to take lightly, being summoned as Ruler Hakuno suspected made a Heroic Spirit much more powerful than if they were summoned as another class. So Shirou Kotomine as he was currently known must have some sort of backup plan if they were to to go all out and attack them. Also he looked a lot like Archer, not the one before Hakuno but the one he had summoned in one of the many cycles of the Moon Cell Grail War. The hero without a name was not one who you could afford to underestimate, so despite them only looking the same Hakuno had another reason to be wary of the Red Faction's leader.

"Archer" Hakuno addressed the third incarnation of the Legendary Green Man. Seeing that he now had the servant's entire attention the former Npc spoke. "go as Assassin (Li Shuwen)* and Archer (nameless) to see if you can find out anything about what the Leader of the Red faction has gained because he was summoned as a Ruler Class Servant in his previous Grail War" Hakuno instructed. "Try and focus on what he has for Noble Phantasms and check to see if he can still function as a Servant with the Parameters even though he as gained a body" the former Npc added to his request.

A smirk fought its way onto Archer's face, it was not a pleasant thing to look at but, it was one of grudging respect and of amusement. "You sure thing things ahead masterr" Robin Hood stated "I ask that I you allow me to lay the forest with more traps to hinder the red faction while I do this."

While fair play was important to Hakuno, he was by no means one to do half measures. The former Npc was the victor of Moon Cell and the Sakura Labyrinth, he would use everything at his disposal in the fights that mattered. This could certainly become one of those "be careful" he warned.

The amusement and gratitude reached Archer's eyes "I will" he answered with his best formal bow. Hakuno was not sure if the third incarnation of the Legendary Green Man had gotten it wrong or not, but he really didn't care either "You can be assured of that" Archer stated as he astralised.

Left on his own once again Hakuno opened the mental link he had with nameless and Li Shuwen "I've sent Archer to come get you, I want the three of you to try and gather more information on Shirou Kotomine" the former NPC explained receiving acknowledgement of his order on the other end.

Archer commented on how it was a good move as did Assassin, it seemed the two of them had similar mind sets when going against an unknown opponent. Though he also could hear the tinge of excitement that was at the end of Li Shuwen's response, it seem Assassin was getting rather excited.

"It seems as though those rats are trying to escape" Assassin of the Red commented in a regal tone "Master" she addressed Shirou "given you wish to prove your good intentions towards the Heroic Spirits that are possibly guarding Saver, would you life it if we were to snuff them out for you?"

A scoff came from Rider of the Red, Heroisms Immortal Man was getting a little restless since he had yet to get to work out since his altercation with that Lancer. "They are toothless now" Achilles stated "they are of no threat to anyone, I bet even those kids can finish of the remaining two of them now." Rider was surprised that after he said this Atalanta snarled at him in an almost feral manner. "Easy there sister" he said "I was not saying that they can't pay for their crimes, all I'm saying is that there is no point in us finishing them off" Achilles explained trying to pacify Archer of the Red.

"They tried to brainwash and control children" Atalanta snapped at him her voice rather feral and snarling. "We can't just let them escape, they almost were able to interrupt the evacuation attempt" it seemed clear that given her recent own altercation and humiliation at the hands of one of another Servant of Bows had left the Chaste Huntress with a wounded ego. What Atalanta didn't know was that the entire situation that she had found herself in after taking out that member of the Society of Light was could be blamed on Caster, right down to the member of the Society of Light as well.

Needless to say the Famous Playwright felt rather glad Shirou Kotomine had not throne him to the hungry lioness that was Archer at this current point in time. "It would be a feat most heroic" Shakespeare added trying to goad Atalanta into chasing after the remaining two members of that cult.

It did not have the effect that he desired but Caster figured he could work with the reaction. Atalanta turned her wrathful gaze at the Famous Playwright. "You!" The Chaste Huntress accused "you have done nothing this entire time, you could have at least tried to help but instead you sat writing."

This offended Caster and he was about to object that he hadn't been 'just writing' but also reading and planning scenes as well, however a look from Shirou told him to keep his mouth shut. Though the look was more 'if you say one more word I'll rip out your tongue myself' to be more accurate. So to compensate for his inability to speak Shakespeare lifted his hands forwards as if there could form some sort of barrier between him and Archer of the Red and stepped back as a show of surrender. Caster hoped this would appease both the Chaste Huntress and also the Youth Saint as well.

"Archer" Shirou Kotomine's words cut through the tension "they will pay for their transgression, however it will not be us who will deal with them" the Ruler Class Servant informed her. "Believe me the children on this Island are not that helpless as you think they are, in fact from what I have learned they are quite capable of taking on divine level beasts." Shirou would not tell Archer how he learned of this, nor would he tell her of his skill that allowed him premonitions. "I suspect Ruler was the one who convinced the students and staff here to leave the island so she could face us."

This actually confused Rider of the Red who did not hesitate to state his confusion "what?" He confusion earned a nod from Atalanta who may have not figured out what Shirou Kotomine was suggesting. "Why would she evacuate all of the student and staff from here if she wanted to face us?"

A sad smile played upon Shirou Kotomine's lips "As the overseer of the Grail War Ruler must abide by the Rules of the Grail and those of the Moonlight world. The Grail War must not have any spectators who do not belong in the moonlight world and she would be forced to kill all of them."

"That has got to be the worst joke that you have told so far" Rider of the Red spat "They are playing with some ancient form of thaumaturgy that allows them to summon monsters" Achilles explained "how can they not be of the Moonlight world that belongs to magi if they are so casually playing with it?" The question posed by Heroisms Immortal Man did have a point "There is an academy to get into this place that teaches it, I mean teaches dark ancient forms of magic, they commercialise it so tell me how can they not be of the moonlight world?" It was easy to see how he was confused.

"Because" Amakusa Shirou Tokisada began "to them that's what it is, a game, not magic, just something someone invented and used to gain money. Most by far are ignorant of the darker purpose their little game has served and what it was originally like, their game is just that to them, a game."

After hearing this Atalanta sighed with relief letting the tension out of her "at least she is not letting those children be caught up in it, I think that was the last of them who I helped escape." The Chaste Huntress did not care what happened to the adults, she only cared that the children were safe.

"I'm afraid not all of the students have been successfully evacuated" Shirou Kotomine stated. The Vision he received was of ruler asking one to give his aid, not that the Youth Saint knew what aid he could give the Maid of Orleans, however he knew how to manipulate it towards his advantage. "You see she has left one student behind, think of it as something to hold over your head since she is aware of your identity" the Ruler Class Servant lied. Seeing how it was working Shirou added "She is going to use the poor boy as a hostage for leverage against us, though mainly against you."

The tale that the Youth Saint was spinning impressed Caster enough that he had to use all of his willpower not to start clapping and congratulating the previous Ruler on his performance. The lies had the desired effect as Atalanta's rage was now directed towards a single entity, the Maid of Orleans.

"That false Saint" the Chaste Huntress snarled her hands balling into fists that creaked under the strain and pressure Aatalanta was exiting into them. "I'll" she began "I'll kill her for this" Archer of the Red snarled. Looking at Shirou she asked "is it still possible to save him or are we too late?"

Upon hearing this question the Youth Saint adopted a thoughtful expression before answering "I don't think she's done it just yet" he informed her "however we must act quickly and strike while the iron is hot." Seeing that Atalanta was about to bolt back to the Academy he called out "wait, last time you said the forest was littered with traps." This had the desired effect as Archer of the Red stopped though she was barely able to restrain herself. "Saber" Shirou looked at Mordred "clear us a path through the forest, I have no wish for any of you to fall into yet another pitfall" he ordered.

Saber in full armour snarled at him, being used as manual labour grated on the Knight of Treachery's pride a little too much. Yet she didn't wish to earn her current Master's ire and have him use one of his many Command Seal on her. So she relented and began to charge up her Noble Phantasm.

Sartorius and the 'D' had just made it back to the 'D's' boat when a beam of red light flashed across the island neatly splitting the forest in two and knocking them unceremoniously to their feet "what was that?" the 'D' asked as he got up and dusted himself off "if they were aiming for us they have definitely missed by a mile. Unlike Sartorius he had not really been on the receiving end of the insanity that had been occurring at Duel Academy Island , so he was only mildly disturbed, that and the 'D' had nerves of steel so it was not easy to perturb him at all "Well that is fortunate I suppose."

Sartorius on the other hand had been on the receiving end of such insanity the first time he came to Duel Academy and was already making a beeline for the ship "get in here quickly, they might still aim for us so we will have to move" he explained. "Unlike you I have no desire or intention to be on the receiving end of whatever that was" he remarked as he started to get into the boat "are you going to get in or do you want me to leave you behind for whatever that was?" Sartorius asked impatiently, he never got along with the 'D' even though the two of them were the first see the Light.

Frowning at his accomplices impatience the 'D; assumed that Sartorius was overacting and decided to walk to the boat. That soon changed when he hear Sartorius get it's engine running, and he too began to run. Ill tempered the 'D' was able to make it on board before Sartorius took off with the boat. "Once we are in safer waters and closer to the mainland I will use my phone" the 'D' stated confusing Sartorius.

Seeing his compatriot confused the 'D' took some pleasure in Sartorius not knowing what he planned but the current no. 1 Duellist decided to be even more insufferable and tell Sartorius what he was planning. "I'm going to call Aster" the 'D' stated in a malicious tone "you see he and I have had little father and son bonding in the last few years and I thought to mend that bond, by telling him what happened to his father" he explained with a more than just wicked grin.

"You intend to bait Aster to come to you since he could be the chosen Duellist" Sartorius noted before he too gained a malicious grin "then the other candidate will most likely follow in an attempt to help him, We'll kill two bird with one stone and have both Jaden and Aster under out control."

-Omake

Mordred you have poor aim.

"Hurry" Sartorius stated to the 'D' as the two of them ran to the boat "that maniac is right behind us."

"Say hello to my Blue Eyes White Dragon card" Seto Kaiba yelled as he threw the card at them clipping the 'D' on the arm and Sartorius on the knee causing both to fall down in pain. "You thought you could escape me" Kaiba stated as his card returned to his hand like a boomerang.

The 'D' despite the pain managed to comment on what he thought of the situation "that is like one of your rarest cards, stop throwing it around. It's valuable."

Seto Kaiba scoffed at him "I'm too rich to care" the Owner of Kaiba corp stated. "Now it's time to finish you off-"

Whatever Kaiba was about to say after that was cut off as a large red beam of energy blasted through the island obliterating him since Kaiba was in it's path. "I think I got those two creeps" Mordred yelled triumphantly as she approached.

"Kaiba died!" Sartorius shouted in horror and in joy as he devolved into manic fits of laughter.

The 'D' simply was awed by the destruction wrought, in fact the too of them were so awed that the 'Light' itself had to take matters into it's own hands "You're not human" it stated to Mordred "also you have terrible aim I suggest you practice more."

The Knight of Treachery did not hear the second part, no she only heard the first "Stop rubbing it in" she hissed thinking that the creature before her was making suggestions towards her origins. Chrging up her Noble Phantasm again she roared "Clarent Blood Arthur!"

At this moment the Light realised that it should have followed it's followers examples and not spoke to the madwoman.

In the Background a certain Lancer was scratching his head in confusion at the scene before him "I'm pretty certain all this crazy seems familiar, I just don't know why."

*Robin Hood knows who Hakuno is referring to, I just put that in there so you wouldn't be confused.

Did you enjoy it ,I hope you did

Yes before you ask, Shirou Kotomine is finally making his move, and yes he is being himsef (a complete and utter bastard) while doing it. Just to let you know despite how amiable they appear to be the Heroic Spirits with Hakuno are not aligned with Jeanne de arc just yet. Also Yes, Mordred did just use her noble Phantasm in the Omake and kill Kaiba, 'Final dead Kabia' will be coming soon as well as 'Kaiba's Revenge'.

Yes Kaibaman is here to do his super Sentai stuff (mminus the Ginyu force poses, or maybe with them included), he will be important so pay attention to what he is doing. Actually I intially intended to have him appear much earlier but chose to refrain from it and justh ad Kaiba take up some of his role, now I am finally able to include Bat- I mean Kaibaman.

On this note When I wrote this I planned to go up til the Trueman Arc(ending it at the end of that arc) however now I am not so sure that I should follow GX canon like that. So let me know if you want to follow the whole Yubel arc or not. Also yes despite their current 'Butt Monkey' status Sartorius and the 'D' are still part of the plot.

Anyway if you like this and have any feedback you would like to share feel free to leave a review or Pm me if you have any ideas to share. As always I would prefer it if you left a review since when I am writing the next chapter it means that I don't have to keep multiple tabs open to reference all of them. Still feedback will always be appreciated as I like to know if anyone has ideas they would like to share.

Until next time
