"Come and spar with me."

Gudao shifted his gaze toward a beautiful and matured woman wearing black body suit standing nor far away from him. In her hand is an unnamed crimson spear, one of the many she possessed. He knew of her, as he knew the many Servants sparing in the Chaldea's Multifunction Room (or now dubbed as the Sparring Room). Scathach, the Queen of the Shadow Land and the famous mentor of Cu Chulainn.

Though he didn't know why she would want to spar with him. "And why do you wish to spar with me, Miss Scathach?" He came here to just observe and nothing more, but it seems fate once again laughed at his face for thinking nothing noteworthy will happened.

"I wish to test the strength of the Mighty Servant of Savior." She explained, "So spar with me."

Her firm and confidence voice echoed even through the sparring room as all eyes shifted toward the two. Gudao could say no to her of course, he's no obligation to agree unless his Master said so. Even with how hard headed Scathach can be, he's sure that if he asks his Master he'll help him walk out of her insistence pretty smoothly, as the Queen has a soft spot for the Master.

But…

"Alright." Gudao agreed, "But nothing too destructive. I don't want to make Da Vinci irritate with repairs." Scathach nodded her head, agreeing to the term.

The two of them walk to the middle of the room and the other Servants moves away to give them large enough space, and some even sprint out of the room. If Gudao had to guess they're going to spread the words that there'll a spar between him and Scathach. He's proved correctly when not even five minutes later other Servants almost burst into the room with an excited face.

"Just a heads up Miss Scathach, I'm more of a Caster type of Servant rather than a warrior." Gudao explained to his opponent, "So if I don't put up a good fight please don't be surprised."

Scathach didn't seem to be bothered or off put at all. "It's fine."

Gudao closes his eyes and ponder. He ponders his tactic and strategy, picking apart his options and choose the ones that would have the highest chance of him putting up a good fight. As a Master of the Spear, there's no way he could fight her conventionally. He needed something that she wouldn't expect nor something she could easily counter.

Well then, let's do this.

"Heroes of the Sword, grant me your strength." A faint light flashes in his hands as it slowly constructs itself into a weapon. In his right is a long katana with no guard and in his left is a shorter one with a simple guard. Almost all of the Servants inside the room recognized the swords instantly as it belongs to their fellow comrades.

It's the sword of Kojiro Sasaki and Miyamoto Musashi.

The owners of said blades are standing among the crowd, looking at the blades with wide surprised eyes.

"Those are…" Scathach eyes narrowed, "Traced blades? Like the Red Archer perhaps? Or…"

"These are not fakes." Gudao twirls the two swords in his hands, "These are real Noble Phantasm swords." He went into a familiar stance of Niten Ichi-Ryu, a stance famously used by Musashi. "Are you ready, Queen of the Lance?"

Scathach said nothing and went to her usual fighting stance. The two sparring partners gaze at each other eyes as if they're having a battle of mentality unseen by feeble eyes.

Ritsuka and Mash enter the room in a sprint, just in time to see his two servants staring at one another. "Scathach, Gudao—" He didn't get to finish his sentence as the two Servants lunge at each other.

It has started.

Blades and lance dance with one another as the masterpiece creations clashes. As if they're dancing the two fought with fluidity and elegance, no movement or footwork are wasted in their waltz of death. The audience observes in trance, as if mesmerized by their fight, none of them let out any sound as the spear and swords kiss.

"That's…" Musashi whispered in awe, "He's using the Niten Ichi-Ryu perfectly… As if he'd learned it his whole life." It's like she's watching herself fight.

"I think it's his Noble Phantasm." Ritsuka theorized, "Jinrui no chōetsu-Teki senzai-ryoku (Transcendent Potential of Mankind)."

A Noble Phantasm that allows him to use all of Humanities Noble Phantasm.

The dance of lance and blades stop as the two pushed each other off several feet. Scathach summon her other lances around her, their tips aiming straight to Saver. Her foe did not seem to be deterred, however, and he charged forward. The Queen of the Shadow Land let her lances fly towards her opponent who dodged and striked away the crimson lances with ease. Scathach summoned another spear, but this time she held it in her free hand the Lancer now holding a weapon in each hand.

It's one of Scathach technique, and even a certain fellow lance dual wielder would've agreed she's really good at what she does.

Gudao eyes narrowed at the sight and he reverses grip his blades. "Rikudou Gorin-"

Scatchach eyes widened as she sensed it—the massive amount of prana that Gudao is emitting. A Noble Phantasm?! Her instinct and guts screamed at her that whatever he's doing wouldn't be good for her health. She summoned more of her spears and let them fly towards Savior while she lunged backward—

"-Kurikara Tenshou-" A large spectral image of a god with three faces and six hands each hold a sword materialized above him. The spectral struck the lances away with one sword and the other strike down toward the Lancer.

Scathach used one of her runes to propel herself to the side to evade the strike that would've cut her in two. It was when the spectral suddenly disappeared before its blade even reach the ground that her instinct, honed by many battles, kicked in again.

He was not finished.

That one conclusion resounding in her head made her realize her mistake.

"-Tsubame Gaeshi!"

A white Swallow Bird. That's what her eyes saw.

*BOOM*

The sudden explosion surprised the audience, but what shocked them was the fact that both of them jumped out of the large black smoke and take another fighting stance several feet away from each other. Though both of them look relatively unharmed, their clothes took a pretty significant damage, especially Gudao that wore white.

"An explosive rune to deflect my attack… Your quick rune creation is really impressive, Miss Scathach." Gudao said with an amazed tone.

Scathach let out a small laugh, "Using two Noble Phantasms of different servants… A nice trick, Savior."

"Well, it failed so I must pay the price." The swords disappear from his hands in a soft light. "Plan B it is." A familiar crimson spear materializes in his right hand, one that Scathach of all people would've recognized anywhere. "Heroes of the Lance, lend me your strength."

"Gae Bolg." She whispered.

"Please do not take this as a mean of disrespect." Gudao said loudly, "But I will need its strength to defeat you."

Scathach just smile at the irony of it all, "Is that so?" She summoned another spear in her free hand—this one is similar to the one Gudao's holding, the cursed spear Gae Bolg. "Come then."

A burst of crimson prana suddenly exploded from Saver. "Gae-" She charges forward with a prana burst toward his opponent. "-BOLG!" He thrust forward

Scathach too focus her prana to her spears as she charges forward to meet her opponent. "GAE BOLG-ALTERNATIVE!"

Time stopped as the lances almost came close to contact. The curse of the spear would've blocked each other or they'll trade one heart with another, which will result in them both being killed at the same time. But dying and killing Scathach is not what he planned at all.

"LORD CAMELOT!"

A large familiar shield suddenly materialized between the two of them as Scathach lances hit the shield. Like a feeble spear trying to pierce a wall, they bounced off, canceling the Noble Phantasm Scathach activated. Gudao thank his high amount of luck too.

Now, for the coup de grace.

Gudao stab his lance to the ground, "Kazikli Bey!"

Crimson spikes sprout out from the ground around Scathach and would've pierced her too. But they stop at her skins, just barely touching them.

"… So this is how unfair your Noble Phantasm is, huh?" Scathach smile as she dematerializes her spears.

Gudao followed suit and dematerialized all of the Noble Phantasms. "Sorry." He apologized earnestly, "It just comes with the perk of being a Savior, I guess." If she survived this attack he would've surrendered. The Prana needed to constantly keep him using this much Noble Phantasm was not good for the health of his Master.

"Thank you for agreeing to fight me, Gudao."

"You're welcome. It's really fun." And a trip downs a memory lane for him.

"As a prize, I'll fulfill one of your wishes, whatever it is." Scathach suddenly said, "Sleep with you, being your girlfriend for one day, wearing erotic outfits, calling you 'Onii-chan', whatever it is I'll fulfill it."

…

…

…

"EEEEEHHH?!" The audience screamed.

Even Gudao seems to be taken aback, but he recovered quite quickly. "It's alright, you don't have to."

"You don't have to be shy. Come, tell me."

"No, seriously you don't have to do that."

The conversation went back and forth with Scathach insisting to him asking her to do something and Gudao insisting it is not needed.

It took an hour before Gudao decided to ask Scathach to go on a date with their Master, which she agreed quickly and wholeheartedly.

XXX

Gudao sighed tiredly as he trails the empty hallway of Chaldea. Sparring with Scathach had taken quite a toll on his body and he would like nothing more than to rest on a bed and—

"Good fight, Sir Gudao."

Gudao snapped his head toward a familiar all mighty wizard standing next to the vending machine. He's a smile that always unnerved him whenever he sees it. He's planning something… "Thank you, Merlin."

"And asking Miss Scathach to go on a date with our Master… How kind." His smile grew wider, "Or should I say yourself?"

The Masked Servant stares at the wizard for a minute before sighing. "So you knew?"

"It took a while, but after studying you roaming around Chaldea with high familiarity as if you've been here before, and studying a sample of your hair I managed to come to the conclusion." He nodded his head, "My… Our esteemed Master becoming such a powerful Servant, how nice."

"I would like you to keep it a secret if you can, Merlin."

"Of course. It's boring if I tell everyone after all."

"Good." Gudao continues his walk toward his room, "I don't have to spread everyone about your secret hobby regarding the internet magical idol that Dr. Roman loved to watch."

Merlin smile freeze, "H… How did you…"

"I'm from the future remember?" Gudao smile behind his mask, "I know things."

FIN

There! This is a story about how Servant Gudao would fight! The next DLC might contain someone you've been all waiting for!

-Jinrui no chōetsu-teki senzai-ryoku (Transcendent Potential of Mankind): Gudao can access all skills that have been unlocked by humankind. As long as the skills are used by a 'human', and can be used by a 'human', or considered to be used by a 'human', then Gudao automatically have the ability to use it. Creatures/living beings that closely resemble a human and can be considered being one can be counted (such as Homunculi), however pure divine being and non-human (such as True Vampires) are not included. However this Noble Phantasm takes a lot of prana for constant uses, and a normal Master wouldn't be able to handle the prana necessary for the prolonged fight.
