Fate/ Grimm World

Synopsis: As heroic spirit, EMIYA departs the world of the living, he is suddenly dragged into the world of Grimm. There he realizes he is not the only Servant in this new world.

I do not own RWBY nor the Fate series. RWBY is owned by Roosterteeth while Fate is owned by Type-Moon.

The last thing he saw was Rin's bittersweet smile before he disappeared from the place he used to call home. Gone from the world was the Fifth Grail War's last surviving Servant.

EMIYA drifted through the void with a content smile, recalling the promise that he made to Rin before departing. But a frown soon made its way into his features. Heroic spirits do not retain memories from previous wars.

"Well, that's a shame. I hope I can still somehow remember that" thought the Servant.

So he continued drifting towards what he thinks would be the Throne of Heroes, where he would wait there until the next time he is called upon. After what felt like hours in the void, he felt a presence behind him.

"So, the faker has just arrived from his victory over the Grail War."

EMIYA took a glance behind him before facing the other person. Even if this person looked a little different than when he saw him in the war, EMIYA was pretty sure that he was going to remember his face even when he gets re-summoned. Gold hair slicked up. Red eyes. Ton of golden armor. Haughty attitude with a god-complex. EMIYA couldn't forget this Servant if he ever tried.

Yep, this is definitely Gilgamesh.

"Well you seemed to tone down after that arrow to the head. Wanted to go for the arrow to the knee, but whatever floats your boat" EMIYA said with a snide look.

"Hmph. Only a coward would strike down an incapacitated king without directly confronting him" the king shot back.

EMIYA vividly recalled his final arrow at the King of Heroes. "I did whatever was necessary. Pride is something I do not have."

The two Servants continued to glare at each other, not forgetting the events that preceded their current predicament. This was until Gilgamesh's face softened, "So that younger version of yourself really got to me."

That got some surprise from EMIYA, but the Archer did not show it. "Hmm? So you made the connection between me and Shirou?"

"His choice of combat and techniques were uncanny resemblances of your own."

Then EMIYA decided to take advantage of this opportunity, "Heh. I can't believe the mighty King of Heroes is bested by a third-rate magus who can only Project and Reinforce."

This got the king more riled up, "Shut it, fool! He had the devil's luck to make it past my armada. Without that troublesome reality marble, he would've had died in the beginning."

The red Servant rolled his eyes. EMIYA then said, "Save the talk. The only reason you lost is from your overinflated ego."

"You—"

Whatever Gilgamesh was about to say left his mouth when the two found a strange anomaly form above their heads. An ominous looking cloud began to contort and spread over their heads. As the clouds seemed to spiral around them, a sudden light bathed the two of them, blinding the two Archers.

"What?!" exclaimed Gilgamesh.

As the light continued to overtake the two, EMIYA felt like he was being tugged towards the light with Gilgamesh in tow as well. He began to lose consciousness. Before he fully lost his bearings, he saw a glimpse of a man with white hair and tanned skin just like his own, dressed in archaic robes and ten rings on all ten fingers.

Then his vision turned black.

As he began to regain consciousness, EMIYA began to take a look at his surroundings. He seemed to be in some sort of forest filled with red trees. Strange, he doesn't recall this kind of place anywhere on Earth. And when he thought about that, another thing surfaced into his mind.

He couldn't feel the presence of Gaia along the earth. Not even Alaya's presence was felt.

"Wait, don't tell me..." thought EMIYA.

He brought his right hand out and spoke out an incantation that he has said an innumerable amount of times.

"Trace, on."

Feeling the familiar release of mana, a short falchion materialized in his hand. In its blinding white glory, Bakuya appeared. But something felt different about the sword. EMIYA then traced its twin, Kanshou. Raising his right hand high, he proceeded to slam Bakuya into Kanshou with enough force to produce a loud clang.

EMIYA was surprised. He swung hard enough for Bakuya to shatter Kanshou, but the blade was perfectly intact. Normally, a copy would shatter with that kind of force. He inspected the blades. They seemed too...real. Could it be that the absence of Alaya's presence prevents the blades' existence to be considered fake? If those were the real copies he was holding and feeling no contact with Gaia, then he came to one conclusion:

"I'm not on Earth anymore," he realized.

But what he failed to realize was that the clang disturbed the three resting nearby.

"MIKON!"

EMIYA mentally berated himself for not noticing them earlier. Turning around, he saw three people getting up. One was Gilgamesh, but the other two were unfamiliar.

The one who shouted that arbitrary phrase was a girl with fox ears coming out of her pink hair. She wore a blue traditional Japanese robe, specifically for the Japanese courts though she lacks the flowing dress part. Coming out from her robes was a single fox tail bouncing with activity.

The other person getting up was a shocker for EMIYA. She looked just like Artoria, except her emerald eyes were replaced with olive green orbs and their hairstyle was slightly different. The Artoria look-alike sported a red dress that was more revealing than the King of Knight's battle wear. EMIYA couldn't exactly recognize her country of origin, but she carried herself with the authority of a king, just like Artoria and Gilgamesh.

And from further insight, he knew these two were also Servants by the mana reserves within them.

"Ugh where am I?" muttered the red Artoria.

"Uwa, what is this place? I was relaxing up in the Throne of Heroes before I got sucked into a strange portal." questioned the fox girl.

It was Gilgamesh's turn to react. EMIYA expected the king to go absolutely livid and destroy the surrounding area, but that surprisingly did not come. The King of Heroes scanned the area with an analytical look on his face, scanning the area.

"I do not sense Alaya anywhere. We must be on another world," Gilgamesh then looked at his body. "But this body, it seems so real."

Setting aside Gilgamesh's un-Gilgamesh like behavior, EMIYA felt as if he was completely one with the world of the living now. He couldn't disappear into his spirit form. Tried as he might, he just couldn't do it.

"Could it be that whatever sent us here made us completely alive?" EMIYA questioned.

Everybody remained silent at that rhetorical question. Before anyone can say something else, a growl made its way through the clearing. What came out of the bushes sent the four servants on high alert. The monstrosity had the general appearance of a wolf, but it had midnight black fur, bone plating on multiple parts of its body, long arms for its already large size, and red eyes devoid of mercy. More and more of these creatures came out until the clearing was filled with them and surrounded the gang.

With this, EMIYA brought out the Chinese pair of swords. Gilgamesh stood there and folded his arms together. The fox girl summoned a mirror as it started floating around her. And lastly "Artoria" brandished an intricate red saber.

Tired of the standstill, a Beowulf charged at EMIYA. Thinking that EMIYA wasn't aware of the holes in his guard, it took a wild swing at his right side

EMIYA just smirked.

The red Archer ducked under the swing and using the momentum from his dodge, he twisted a full circle and bisected the Beowulf across its chest. As another Beowulf came into view, he lashed his leg out and kicked the Beowulf in the chin, proceeding to then decapitate it with a scissor slash.

Enraging the other Beowulfs, the hoard began to advance. "Artoria" surged through the hoard, hacking away the Beowulfs in her path. With unparalleled elegance, she danced her way in the sea of black. Every attack from the beasts were countered with a flourish of steel.

Meanwhile, fox girl used the trees to her advantage and began dropping paper tags. The Beowulfs were confused by this tactic until the tags began glowing. Blazing fires soon overtook the beasts as chaos ensued. As she landed on the ground, she then assaulted the Beowulfs with her mirror, tearing through them in the process.

Gilgamesh was having an easy time. Staying in the same spot when the battle started, he sent swords flying into the Grimm storm from his Gate of Babylon. Wanting to satisfy his boredom, he stopped his flurry of swords. Opening two portals, he took out a pair of identical golden swords and charged at the monsters.

As the Beowulfs realized that this fight was meaningless, they soon began to scatter.

As the group of Servants took time to recover for a bit, EMIYA then spoke up. "I believe introductions are going to be in order here, seeing that we are going to be stuck together for a while. Here, I'll start it." EMIYA then cleared his throat.

"My name is simply EMIYA. I am a Counter Guardian chosen by Alaya in order to neutralize the threats I am summoned to. My true identity before was Shirou Emiya, who resided in Fuyuki City, Japan."

The fox girl perked up. "Huh, a fellow Japanese Servant? Though I have never heard of a hero like you. Well I guess it's my turn!" she exclaimed as she stuck a pose.

"I am Tamamo no Mae! Incarnation of the goddess Amaterasu and former courtesan of Emperor Toba. Pleased to meet you all, fellow Servants~!" Tamamo exclaimed.

The three other Servants look at her strangely. They knew about her tale and all the hardships she had went through, yet she acted as if nothing happened.

Putting her arms akimbo, "Artoria" started to introduce herself.

"Umu! I am Emperor Nero Claudius Caesar Augustus Germanicus of the great Roman Empire! With this sword, I will show the world of my art. Pleasure to meet you all" Nero introduced.

EMIYA held some surprised within his mind. So she wasn't actually Artoria, but the tyrannical Roman emperor. He would question why Nero is summoned as a woman, but after seeing that King Arthur was summoned as a woman, he let that slide.

Gilgamesh was the last to do introductions. "Hmph. I am the one and only Gilgamesh. King of Heroes and the ruler of the first city of Uruk. Be graced that you are in my presence." This surprised the two females Servants, seeing that he was the most ancient Heroic Spirit and probably the most powerful.

"Now that we are well acquainted with one another and know each other's identities, we need to figure out how the hell we are going to survive this place." EMIYA pointed out.

As the Servants pondered on that, an interruption came in for the third time in this chapter. A gust came in as an aircraft landed in the opening of Forever Fall. The hatch of the aircraft soon opened revealing a certain headmaster.

"Well, well. What do we have here?"

Hey y'all! This is my first story ever and I hope you enjoyed the first chapter. I have been thinking of making a crossover, Fate/RWBY being one of my favorites to read. My schedule in high school prevented such writing, but since I just graduated I now have the time to do so. This story is from my enjoyment of both series and writing a story like this is very new to me. At the very least I plan on finishing Vol.1 of RWBY, but depending on my motivation and time, I might go for even more.

For those wondering, this takes place after UBW, so Nero and Tamamo in this story hasn't gone through the events of Extra. I also took the personality of Caster Gilgamesh and Extra/CCC Gilgamesh into this Gilgamesh because it would be rough to put Gilgamesh into a team if he's gonna be all haughty like he is in Stay Night.

Anyways I hope I get future chapters in soon and have a nice day (writing this at 2:07 am PST so I should really sleep now)!
