It is I, back with another chapter so yay!

Anyways, sorry if it took a bit. I was working on my other stories for one, IRL stuff too and just the oddness of these past few months. Still I'm glad to get this chapter up finally and I hope you all enjoy it. I sure did when writing it, then again I just like to write a lot. But enough of me rambling like this. I'll let you off to do some reading now. So enjoy!

I do NOT in any way own Overwatch or the Fate/Stay series. Overwatch belongs to Blizzard and the Fate/Stay series belongs to Type-Moon

Fate/Stay: The Watch

Ch.6: The start of change…

Not even a minuet in, and already the newly chosen six masters were in their first 'official' battle of what could be considered to; the oddest and unnatural Holy Grail war so far. Though as the masters Hana, Rin, Bridgette, Olivia, Genji and Lucio watched their servants clash with the three rouge servants. Their guest being Rin's aunt Ashe and Illya watched as well. All of them mesmerized already by the mere fighting prowess of these beings called Servants.

As that went on, Saber meanwhile was already clashing with one of the newer servants, the man in the overcoat. That she remembered Assassin and Lancer had mentioned being called Cursed One. The one that was also from what she learned too, a fellow Britain. Which from the way the man looked, he must have come from a later era after her time. Which only got the petite knight curious, if not a bit worried on what her homeland had become later on. She'd have to ask Hana more on that, even if ironically she didn't realize where she was at... still Saber was quite surprised when she had to deflect the man's attacks. The current one actually able to force her back a bit on her feet.

"I have to say. Despite your lack of sword play and discipline in the art of combat. You are quiet the fighter. Berserker perhaps?" Saber quipped smirking as Cursed One chuckled for a moment

"My, my how perspective of you. But I'll give you that one. I may have been a bit blatant with my attacks. Oh well no harm no foul, but I bet a hundred quill you'll be stump on what else I am." Cursed One remarked with a wink at Saber, before suddenly grabbing Medusa who'd came around for a counter attack. Throwing her over his shoulder as she landed on her feet next to Saber. Who'd quickly placed her hand on the Rider class servants back to stabilize her for a few moments. Both women keeping their gaze on an amused Cursed One "You cheeky wench. You also had me ha, I'll give you that one too. Still have to say. What luck I have to have two pretty gals fussing over me. Don't worry plenty of me to go around!"

"I'd rather die." Medusa bluntly stated as Saber couldn't help but agree, not a fan of the man's attitude so far

"Fair enough." Cursed One remarked, before viciously smiling and pulling out his pistol in a flash. Then firing off round, that hit Medusa's arm in a blinding second later

"GAH!" Medusa screamed, feeling a sharp burning pain as she held her arm and falling to her knees. Saber quickly helping back up to her feet once more. Shocked herself at what just happened, before glaring back at Cursed One

"You, what dishonorable tactic did you just use!" Saber screamed as she suddenly realized that it must have been something in that distasteful game Hana played a while ago… but she couldn't remember what they were even called

"Oh right. You lot didn't get any info of this era and the history after your era's. Aside from the whole basic english thing." Cursed One mockingly remarked, before flashing to Artoria and Medusa one of the oddest devices they'd laid their eye on so far. A piece of bent wood and metal with a trigger under in and a few other complex looking parts to it "This here ladies is a gun. A pistol for this particular firearms name. Think of it like a bow that shoots metal. Can be used by anyone and changed the world as we know it even to this day. Gun's reign supreme and make what you old lot mean jack shit if you don't mind me saying so ladies."

"A cowards weapon!" Saber argued in disgust of that sudden fact, Medusa seemed to feel the same but kept her mouth shut about it

"Oh don't be so jealous. That's just how it went later on in life. Beside why kill up close when you can just shoot them in the head from far away. Then again duels of honor were conduct with these too. So I wouldn't say a cowards weapon little missy." Cursed One remarked shrugging, which only at least for Artoria. Got the petite knight even angrier at that fact too, now she'd really have to ask Hana about these guns

"Nonsense. No one from my homeland or any self-respecting human being would ever think of using such a disgusting cowardly weapon. It goes again the very notion of honor. I refuse to believe you're a fellow countrymen!" Saber screamed in a fury, as Medusa was a bit surprised by that little reveal; while Cursed One smirked yet again

"Ah so you are from good old Britain. Makes sense you seem to have that old stick of the ass, we're better then you look about ya." Cursed One exclaimed, before scowling a bit. Though happy that his status as a servant did give him one little interesting perk. His gun didn't need to be reloaded like long ago, though he still had to wait for a good minuet for it to be fired again. Aiming it at the two, he narrowed his gaze as well "You'd be surprised though at how much things change ladies, especially our dear old Bri-"

But before he could say anymore, suddenly form below one of Medusa's steel daggers hit the gun out of his hand. Destroying it in the process, Cursed One couldn't help but growl a little at that. Glaring back at the two wenches in a slight hatred now, mainly because they were smirking so smugly.

"Damnit, you have any idea how long it will take to get-" Cursed One began to rant, before having to dodge twice barely avoiding being impaled by another of Medusas metal daggers to the face. Then avoiding being sliced in half by Saber who took her chance and charged at him "Damn you two!"

"What's the matter Cursed One. Not very tough without your toy are you?" Medusa teased somewhat, glad that abomination of weapon was gone for the time being. But knowing it was most likely a Noble Phantasma or some part of Cursed One. It would come back, repaired; though by his anger it seemed that would take a bit

"Indeed. You have a knife still so I guess it's not all bad. So come on. Fight like man!" Saber shouted mocking Cursed One a little to for once, as she was a bit sadden of seeing how Cursed One was so far; on how far her people must have fell after her own kingdom burned to the ground

"Grrr, I don't care to get my hands dirty up close much. But I'll comply if not for two pretty bitches." Cursed One remarked, getting a scowl from Saber and Medusa. But charged at the two seconds before they could think of doing so themselves, with a vicious grin once more as the girls got in a defensive stance themselves "GRAW!"

Though as that little fight went on, elsewhere on the battle field. Caster and Assassin were facing off against Broken who was on his mount, which only made it harder for the two since Broken was doing hit and run tactics. Before vanishing and reappearing, this having already happening three times.

"Troublesome man!" Caster yelled irritated as she'd received a cut on her cheek, while Assassin had two cuts on the collar bone and above his left eyebrow. Back to back with Assassin, since Caster was worried she'd be an easier target if she tried lifting up in the air currently; but she did look around angrily "Where are you, come on show yourself already!"

Caster then fired off a two beams of destructive energy to her left and upper right with no luck, which only infuriated Caster more as she growled a little. Assassin taking quick notice of his allies shortening temper by the second.

"Calm yourself Caster. This is just what he wants." Assassin simply stated, he and Caster moving counter clockwise without even having to say much as they were keeping their sense on high for when Broken would show himself once more "Assassin defiantly, whatever else he could be I have no idea."

"Probably a Rider if that mount of his indicates anything." Caster replied back. As she saw to the left of her, but right of Assassin as small glimpse of the bushes looking a bit…off

Nudging Assassin's side with her elbow as he looked to her. Before she slightly motioned her head to the spot. Nodding he made sure he was ready, as Caster fired up another beam. Blasting the spot only for it to shatter like glass. But instead of Broken being there, he lunged on his horse from the left. Knife ready to deal a killing blow. But to Broken's sudden surprise, Assassin pivoted his foot towards him, slashing at him as Broken forced his horse to move to the left.

But not without the sound of flesh being cut and a whine of pain following. Broken leaping off his horse, who fell on its left leg as some blood poured from a new wound. Looking at his horse seeing the equine was fine. He dismissed it, as the horse disappeared. Then stood up looking at Caster and Assassin staring back at him.

"Smart. You figured out I was using that temporal distortion in the air to fool you. How though?" Broken asked as Caster did her snooty laugh, which in all honesty made the rouge hybrid a bit irked; even Assassin himself kind of felt irked just hearing that laugh. Even if it wasn't meant for him

"Easy. I can tell what you did was mage craft. But a unrefined and weakly form of a spell. I'm glad you're not a caster in that hybrid form of yours. Because the sight of that mockery of mage craft has just ticked me off!" Caster half angrily and half mocking explained, as she found Broken's form of Mage craft so horrid just by the sight of it. It made the woman feel as if she needed to kill the rouge servant for just that

"Blunt she is yes. But she is correct. I'm not a practitioner of the arts of mage craft. But I can even tell that was poorly made trap." Assassin remarked as got into a stance once more "Now then, come Broken. Show us what you're made off without your-"

Though as Assassin began to taunt Broken, in a blink he was gone. Before the rouge servant appeared with a downward swipe that was barely by a second blocked by Assassin. Before Broken then leaped back, but no before kicking Caster in the face; pushing the woman back an inch or two then onto the ground from the sudden hit. Then he was back on his feet as he blocked a killing bow from Assassin. Both men struggling.

"Quick strong for an assassin." Assassin stated as he was surprisingly having a somewhat hard time pushing this rouge servant off

"I could say the same for you Assassin. Still…" Broken replied calmly, before using his left elbow and ramming it into his stomach. The sudden pressure knocking the wind out of Assassin's lungs as he was pushed back on his feet. Before he could react, he saw Broken slither like a shadowed snake towards him. Knife ready to impale Assassin's heart, only for a spilt second before contact; Caster came in and force him away with a few thin blasts before floating back next to Assassin who was already recovering from the sneak attack "Cursed witch. I thought you'd let him die if I'm being honest."

"Hm, to be perfectly honest with you. I hold no ill will against him, though I don't trust him much either." Caster quipped as Assassin felt like that was a slight jab at him somehow. But kept his mouth shut on the thought itself as Caster continued on "But he's an ally of mine, so for as long as that holds I'll make sure he stays alive. Speaking of, Assassin would you let me have a bit of a go at him alone. I didn't care for that witch comment."

"I'd usually say no. But I can already tell arguing with you would be a headache. If you must then who am I to say no." Assassin remarked, though to be honest he could already tell Caster seemed to be the kind of woman who could hold grudges even with the smallest of things. He was not willing to deal with that, resurrected spirit or not. Didn't help his assumption on Caster when he noticed the small smirk of victory as she moved in front of him a bit

"Why thank you, good boy." Caster simply remarked as she patted the top of his head, like a puppy of all things. Much to Assassin slight irritation once more, before watching Caster begin to fire beams at Broken who was doing his best to dodge. Assassin could only sigh as he looked back at some of the other battles going on, though decided he could us a quick breather before helping Caster once again

-"Hm… I wonder how the battles here will turn out?"- Assassin simply thought, as he was curious on how these current battles would end up. He also wondered, who was more powerful. The original servants such as himself or these new hybrids like Broken. Only time would tell though, that much he knew

Meanwhile as the last two battles kept on, Lancer was only one of two servants having a one on one match. His opponent much to his glee, was the one called Javelinist. The hybrid who stated she was like lancer but also different in many ways at the same time. The battle so far was proof enough of her statement, but it also helped that she'd been smiling in slight glee as they dealt killing blows with each strike against one another.

"Got to say lass, you have an hell of a swing!" Lancer cheered with a animalistic smile. Slashing to the side of Javelinist who blocked it barely before she swung her left arm at him. Lancer catching it as he smile ever so despite the situation at hand "Not bad at all. Keep this up and I might just start falling in love ha!"

"My what words from a man such as you, though I'll say…" Javelinist replied smirking herself as she was using all her might to try and overpower Lancer. Both of them seeming equal in strength mostly, along with those smiles of utter glee still plasters on their faces "You are quiet fun to fight yourself Lancer. A kindred heart. BUT LET'S SEE WHICH CLASS IS THE SUPIERIOR LANCER USER!"

"ALREADY PLANNING ON IT SWEET HEART HA!" Lancer replied, with an even more feral glee and smile. Both he and Javelinist doing what they could to overpower one another, even though out of all of them. These two were having actual enjoying their battle, their blood thirsty battle

Though as all the other servants were either battling head on or by other means. The last two battling were doing things differently or well one of them was while the other was doing all the fighting. That being the battle between Valorous and Archer.

"Fight woman!" Valorous yelled somewhat angrily, as he was swing the bladed tip of his spear at Archer who instead of fighting. Was just dodging every swipe, calm as ever as she chuckled here and there

"Let me think about it…" Archer muttered as she dodged another stab at her face, before doing a cartwheel. Then leaping above and stomping on Valorous helmet, before landing behind him as the opposing servant shook his head from the rather odd counter attack "Nah. Too much work and I'm not feeling it right now."

"What kind of heroic spirit are you…?" Valorous asked in a slightly stern tone, looking back at her before facing the woman who smirk "You're comrades are fighting all around us, so why not you. Don't you have the pride of a warrior?"

"Not really." Archer for once sternly answered back. As she faced the rouge servant now, eye's narrowed just a bit more as she crossed her arms "You see I might be a heroic spirit. But I'm not like you, your little friends or any of my so called 'Comrades'. I'm just honestly a normal woman who got stuck in this heroic stuff… so not. I don't."

"Well that's quiet sad to hear really. Never would I see the day when I meet a heroic spirit such as you. One who lacks any pride as a hero and a warrior." Valorous stated, anger in his tone slightly as he aimed his spear right at her "I will make it one of my primary goals. To kill a disgrace like you, that I swear!"

"Hmf… whatever. Still if you're really serious about this." Archer quipped, sighing as she cracked her neck, before Valorous suddenly noticed just for a moment the woman mutter something. Then a feat of magic he'd never seen before occurred. She summoned a sword from thin air into her right hand "I can be nice for once, but only because I pity you a bit."

Though upon closer inspection. Valorous had to admit, the sword looked to be masterfully crafted. Every piece seemed to have been given days if not weeks when forged. The sword itself was fully black in base color. The handles pummel a simple circular shape, the leather for the grip black too and looked tightly wrapped and longer in length like it could be used with one or both hand's when needed. The hilt simple in style as well, just a straight if not thick piece of circular metal like you'd see on some Japanese katana. Which is why the blade looked even odder, as the lower half though looking more eastern in forging style. Wasn't the case for the upper part.

The upper part being a more European style, the blade straight and double sided, longer than most along with being fully black in base color as well. But unlike the rest of the blade's coloring. There were runic symbols on both sides of the blade, from the tip to the bottom. What they meant Valorous had no idea. Still again, the whole blade to the rouge hybrid warrior was the sight of elegance and deadliness.

"For a heroic spirit who says she doesn't find pride in being a hero. That blade of yours tells a story of woman who took her time to make it… why is that I wonder?" Valorous remarked, smirking a bit as he got his shield and lance ready while Archer did the same changing her poster just a bit as took a deep breath before breathing out; smirking herself

"I wouldn't think too much on it, still this should be enough for you and since you're so up in arms with killing me. Well… I guess I'll do what I have to do. So come on big boy, let's see what you really got!" Archer yelled, smiling a bit viciously as she charged at Valorous. Both of their weapons colliding creating sparks from the mere hits

Though as the servants all fought on with one another, the young master and company still all but watched the scary if not also oddly beautiful conflict before them. The sheer power emitting from each battle, the magic being witness. It was a sight to behold that was for sure.

"Holy crap…" Genji stated wide eyed, though was now going to make sure to not anger Meda after seeing half the spells she was firing off

"Yeah that's the word I'd use kid." Ashe remarked as even she was quiet surprised at the actually sight of a servant battle

"So this is what servant combat is like." Rin stated next as she was very surprised, she never though it would be this intense. That and looking at her servant, she was now extremely confused since the woman was supposed to be an archer… who was using a freaking SWORD of all things. She was defiantly going to get some answers after this from her already odd Archer

"I'm just hoping they all come out of this alive." Olivia said, as she was hoping Medusa would fare well. She didn't want her to be harmed at all, she'd come to already like Medusa these past two days well enough

"Don't worry. I'm sure they will honest. You just got to have faith in them." Lucio simply stated, with a kind reassuring smile as Olivia couldn't help but feel a bit better from that

"Thanks." Olivia replied back, grateful for the kind reassuring words

"Sheesh aren't you a positive one…" Rin muttered, rolling her eyes a bit at Lucio's more positive attitude despite what was occurring at the moment

"And that's a problem why?" Brigette asked. Irked a little herself as she stared at Rin who stared back "Better than being negative I say."

"Yeah, yeah but still…" Rin replied, but stopped herself because she didn't want to get into it with Brigette currently. Considering their more the dire situation, that and she didn't want to get on one of her now allies bad side already

"Ladies play nice okay?" Hana stated quickly, watching the fights going on. But especially Saber who was doing what she could to avoid push back the one called Cursed One alongside Olivia's sergeant. But still seeming to have some issues, looking back she saw the others all still wary of what would happen; especially Illya who was hiding behind her big sister Rin

Though before Hana could say anymore, something to help out too with her groups moral. Someone else came into the fold…

"Hey!" Isolda cheerfully quipped, as the group looked to their right seeing the insane woman just smiling at them "Pretty cool huh?"

"What...?" Hana asked, as she and the others faced Isolda fully now. All of them wary as they would attack if needed, with weapon's any of them had on them or their magic if they could access it quickly enough "What is cool?"

"The fight silly nilly, hehe!" Isolda answered ever so happily, as she looks so cute and innocent right now "The battle itself, the sight of death and blood to be. It's so…intoxicating."

"You're a psycho you know that!?" Genji yelled this time, clenching his fists as Isolda just laughed and laughed

"This isn't funny. People could die here don't you get that, how can you be so happy about this!" Brigette yelled next, as she was baffled herself at how anyone could be this happy go luck with the idea of others dying

"Oh but it's is something to be happy about. The pretty red blood with spray like sparkles, the life taken as it has been for eons in human history. Murder is just one of so many beautiful parts of what makes humans, human and I love every second of it. Well that and… little Ilya here." Isolda explained, with a zealot like glee, before looking at the young Illya with a lust filled gaze that made her nether regions quiver once again "Hehe…god yes the things I'll show you my love. You'll melt in my arms my lovely little wife."

"Back off pedo!" Rin screamed, as she summoned a gandar shot from the tip of her fingers, aimed right at Isolda. Ashe aiming her gun at Isolda too, while the other just glare at the woman "I'll die before I let you near my baby sister. You got that!"

"Hehe, oh Rin…Rin. That's what I'm counting on." Isolda remarked, her smile becoming more vicious and feral now

"Yeah right. We out number you eight to one. What can you do puta?" Olivia argued as she cracked her knuckles. Ready to attack herself and make sure she'd break the woman's nose, jaw…face to a bloody pulp. She was not a fan of people like Isolda, not one bit

"Oh no, you're right. It's just little old me against you all. Whatever can I do!" Isolda suddenly said, in a slight panic. Behaving like she was most likely going to die. Only for Ashe at least, to notice at the side of her eye's a small glint of white. Then on the other side white too, than realized what Isolda was planning

"MOVE!" Ashe screamed, as before any of the teens or her nieces could ask why; she pushed them forward and followed by seconds later. The group quickly able to get their sense back, looking up to see two large ethereal white blades stabbed into the ground where they all had stood at moments ago. Then looking back at Isolda who was smiling even more evilly somehow then she had been so far

"Was that me, I guess I can fight back huh .Wow golly what a shocker am I right?" Isolda mockingly exclaimed, as the others got back up on their feet before glaring at Isolda; aside from Illya who was more scared now than ever of the woman "So anyways as you can see I can fight, BUT…I am a fair woman. So I'll give time to-"

But before Isolda could say more, Ashe and Rin at least already fired off a few rounds of bullets and gandar shots alike. Hitting a white glowing shield Isolda had conjured up and taken all the hits, before being de-summoned by a now furious Isolda.

"THAT WAS RUDE!" Isolda screamed as she summoned even more glowing sword, before firing them off at the group as a whole, all of them running in different directions aside from Illya who was now hiding behind a large rock in the area scared out of her wits

Meanwhile the rest of the masters all we're ready to attack. Genji closing in first, running right at Isolda before delivering a few palm strikes at Isolda who dodged barely, before throwing a few swords at Genji. Who dodged himself, while Isolda suddenly felt her circuits halt and her swords vanished. Looking behind her, she growled some seeing Olivia using her hacking spell to cease Isolda's magic flow.

"Hehe… didn't think it would work. But thanks for being my little guinea pig!" Olivia proudly cheered, before she felt her body start to heat up some more

"Cute trick, but it seems my superiors circuit are overpowering your!" Isolda mocked, as her swords began to take shape again above her, but before she could do much more. Brigette came in. Landing a solid punch to Isolda face, forcing her onto the ground a good two inches away while Olivia knelt down panting. Bridgette running over to help Olivia up, while Isolda sat back up glaring at the two girls

"You.. GAH!" Isolda was about to say, before she was shot in the shoulder by Rin's Gandar shot. About to stand back up and attack, she heard foot steps behind her. Looking she saw Lucio, standing over her, looking down with a rare glare. His hand opened, as his glowing green circuits could be seen on his skin

"I ain't one to hit people, but you kind of deserve this miss." Lucio simply proclaimed, before firing off a sound wave into Isolda's face. Pushing her back more towards Rin, who kneed the girls face as she hit the ground once more making a small crater from the force of the hit and impact

"Okay…. you all are so….." Isolda said as suddenly a volley of twenty swords appeared and shot at the group once more; as they did what they could to dodge "DEAD!"

Though right at that moment, as Isolda was finally back up on her feet. She saw from the side of her eye. The form of Hana lunging at her, with a bit of blood coming from the side of her mouth. But with a normal plain steel sword, which she swung down at Isolda who blocked the attack a mere few seconds with one of her ethereal blades.

"Well now, aren't you a sneaky little one!" Isolda screamed as Hana tried her best to push the woman back some

"And you're as good as dead after threating our life's and suggesting unspeakable things you want to do to Illya!" Hana screamed back as she was pushed back a bit, before having to dodge one of the blades dropping her sword before she hit a tree near her. Thankfully Ashe, Genji, Olivia, Brigette and Genji all were attacking Isolda once again to keep the woman busy. While Rin ran up to Hana, alongside Illya who though scared wanted to make sure Hana was alright

"Hana, come on say something!" Rin pleaded looking over Hana to see if she received any wounds

"Yeah nee-san ni please speak to us!" Illya pleaded next as she and Rin became even more worried, when they didn't hear a response. But those worries were just as quickly quelled when Hana began to groan

"Ugh…w-what happened?" Hana asked rubbing the side of her head

"You we're knock out for a few seconds there. But you're fine now I promise." Rin kindly answered, relived alongside Illya that Hana was okay

"Oh… wait, what about-" Hana was about to ask the sisters, only to get her answer seconds later

"JUST STAY STILL YOU PESTS!" Isolda screamed as she was firing off her enteral swords like mad at the others. Who were still doing the best they could to keep the mad woman at bay. While the servants were still battling, their servants for the most part seeming to be on the defensive more than anything

"Never mind… we got to finish this battle soon." Hana said as this was starting to get out of hand, she didn't want it to drag on too much or else it could risk someone walking in on them. Hana did not want to think on what could happen if anyone caught a glimpse of what was going on right now

"But how, that scary lady and those mean people seem so strong…" Illya asked worriedly as Rin held her close, as a form of comfort for herself; but mainly for Illya who was shaking a bit but this point

"Hm… I think I'll have to use it." Hana quipped, standing back up even if her body was already screaming to move no more. Rin and Illya following seconds later, but rightfully confused on what Hana was talking about

"Hana what do mean that 'it'?" Rin asked, only to see her best friend pull out from her pocket a…watch of all things. Steel in color and with a digital screen, Rin and Illya were all but confused eve more

"Nee-san ni?" Illya asked, as Hana looked at the two before smiling

"Don't worry you two…" Hana stated, looking back at the two battles occurring before smirking proudly and strapping on the watch on wirst. Before pushing a digital button on the watch, as it began to beep and beep in a loop "HEAVY BACK UP IS ARRIVING!"

Rin and Illya just raised an eyebrow at Hana's declaration, though not realizing that when Hana meant heavy back up. She meant HEAVY back up…

-Hana's home, the backyard-

It was a normal night at the Ziegler residents. Angela and her older sister Taiga sharing a room to sleep in, like they use too when they lived with their… other sister in their old home as kids. Their guest one Jesse McCree sleeping inside the guest bedroom sound asleep like a rock. Again it was a normal night of slumber.

Only in the backyard, though normal as well. Held a secret next to the shed in the back yard. As a small secret door in the far corner, had a ladder the lead to an underground base of sorts.

Inside this base, was an old well-kept and clean cot, a large set of various terminals and computers; along with a workstation. There was also a few doors around and alongside a kitchen and living room too. But it was in the base near the back, that a large silhouette of something could be seen. Dormant and unmoving, until now as a small red dot on it began to beep and beep. Without having to do much, the systems inside this underground base began to automatically start up a few functions. One on the screen of the largest terminal as a set of words could be seen clear as day.

[Activating sub-routine boot up.]

[Homing beacon located. Proceeding to suit arrival in one minuet.]

[Starting up launch sequence.]

Meanwhile above the back yard, in front of the shed. The ground opened up showing it to be two metal panels and a wide deep space inside. Only for the sounds of an elevator lifting up and not even moments later. The figure inside the base was lifted up into the open air for the first time, in well no one knew how long or if ever. But below the terminal began to count down.

[Launching…]

[Commencing beacon launch.]

Moments later, the figure shot up in the air with boosters helping it with its flight. As it sped off towards the beacon. Once gone the ground shifted back to normal, before a half asleep Taiga in the bedroom she and her little sister slept in, sat up.

"Huh…?" Taiga muttered, looking around. Then outside the window to the background, to see everything was just fine. Nothing out of the ordinary, so with a tried shrug she quickly laid back down in the bed. She and the others in the house and the neighbors even, completely oblivious to what the heck just happened…

-Back at the church-

"Any second now." Hana stated as she was waiting, all the while the battles were still going along. While Rin and Illya were confused even more now, staring at Hana like she'd gone maybe a bit crazy. Then again with what had been happening these past two days, neither kind of blamed Hana if she may have; even a little

"Hana you've been saying that for the last thirty seconds. What are you talking about?!" Rin asked slightly angry herself "We have to help the others quick!"

"I know. I know. But trust me…oh wait." Hana started to say, before the beep on her watch got faster

"Nee-san ni, what's going on with your watch?" Illya asked, as Hana still smiled at the two

"My back is almost here. But I need you to step back okay?" Hana answered, as Rin and Illya didn't. Getting a small sigh out of Hana "Please."

"Fine." Rin replied for her and Illya, as she took a good few steps back while dragging Illya with her. As a few more seconds past "Hana for real, what-"

But just as Rin asked, she and Illya heard the sounds of…. well engines coming from above. Though this sound got louder and louder. Catching the attention of everyone else in the fights. The group of masters, Ashe, Isolda and the servants alike looked now to where Hana was along with where the sound was coming from

"The hell…Saber. Did your master do that?" Lancer asked out of the servants, both part of their group and the rouges as all of them were curious now

"I…" Saber started to say, but didn't know herself. Seeing that her fellow servants, the rouges even and the master of both sides were confused too. She had no idea what to say as she gazed upon the confident looking Hana

But before Saber could say more, suddenly the sound of something falling down echoed, then a large boom as something landed in front of Hana. A large dust cloud forming as Rin and Illya had backed away quickly enough not to get caught in it. While everyone else just stared, before they finally got their answer.

"Hey crazy lady, rouge servants…" Hana said, as her voice sounded all of sudden a bit more digital. The sounds of also metal and such could be heard slightly as the dust cloud was finally starting to dissipated. But then the sounds of heavy thud's could be hear now too. Then the dust cloud died from whatever was in there moving giving a full view to all in the area

The thing they all saw, was a large bipedal suit, animal like legs, two arms with barrels sticking out, a large round top, two antennas, light green glass in the front and all colored in a mainly pink with some white along with grey. But behind the glass in the front, was a smiling Hana song controlling the suit of metal.

"My turn." Hana simply stated, smirking more now as she readied her suits weapon's

"What the fu-" Cursed One began to say, only to barley avoiding getting shot by Hana's suit. Then before anyone else knew it. She began firing at the other rouge servants and Isolda as best as she could. Their servants and the others in the group scattering to not get in Hana's way as they regrouped, watching the sudden turn in the battle thanks to Hana's suit

"Okay…what is that thing?!" Caster asked wide eyed as she found this thing, that Hana was in unnerving; very unnerving and she had no idea why

"I think it's an old M.E.K.A suit." Genji explained a he examined Hana's suit, seeing it shoot a volley of missiles at Broken and Valorous; who barely dodged themselves

"Wait weren't those made only in South Korean?" Olivia asked, confused since M.E.K.A suits were old relics. Most were destroyed, but rumors of a few surviving the Omnic War were here and there. That and the fact they were quiet valuable if sold to the right people. Watching the suit attacking Javelinist by ramming into her, before firing off a few rounds at Isolda who missed getting hit as she fell to the ground panting from the shock of that "If it is…well how the heck did it get here in Britain?"

"Wait…Britain?" Saber shouted all of sudden, wide eyed as she had no idea where she'd been summoned to. Until now… this was her homeland, she had been summoned into her homeland

"Yeah, why?" Olivia asked back, a bit confused on why Artoria had acted the way she did

"No need to worry. It's just because it so far from where this South Korea you speak of is." Archer quickly answered, sweetly smiling as Saber was a bit surprised that Archer had covered for her

"Right…well yeah. I think Genji's spot on. My mom and dad have some old pictures of the M.E.K.A suits. Some of them look different. But I swear one of them looked like the one Hana's in." Lucio answered as Hana was doing fairly well against the rouge servants and Isolda

"I just don't get it though…" Rin suddenly said, as the other looked at her seeing the confusion on her face

"Get what?" Bridgette asked

"How that suit could stand up to mage craft and servants. Let alone keep them at bay." Rin answered as this was very, very confusing. She may have been a bit more lenient with tech than most mages, since living with her cousin Lena and Uncle Winston had helped with that; but this still was confusing her beyond belief

"Well maybe mage craft isn't as all powerful as you would believe young lady." Assassin remarked, before getting glares from both Rin and Caster "I'm just saying is all."

"Still Rin does bring up a point… how can this so called M.E.K.A. Be able to fight against servants and magus alike?" Medusa quipped, bringing the point back to the most surprising so far of these few revelations

"Who cares, it's helping us so why worry about it?" Olivia argued, only for Lancer to huff at her "What?"

"You just don't get it kid. I don't know about the rest here, but for me this is basically Hana stealing our battles from us. For a warrior like me. That's basically a slap to the face." Lancer explained, irked not at Hana just the actions she took. Not that he'd expect the girl to understand since she, alongside the other masters here didn't seem like the warrior types. Some more than others, but all of them not nearly close to being able to call themselves that

"Aren't you being a bit brash on that statement there?" Brigette asked at Lancer's statement

"To be fairly honest myself master. I have to agree with Lancer to a degree. Though her own servant well…" Assassin replied back kindly, before he and the others looked at Saber watching the battle go on. Looking half shocked and half angry if her slight concerned frown was anything to say

"Saber." Archer suddenly said loudly, getting Saber's attention as the petite knight looked back at the others. Mainly Archer though, seeing the usual teasing smirk "You doing okay, worried about you're little master. Hm?"

"Archer…" Rin began to say, about to chaise her servant. Only to see Saber raise her hand to her, like asking her to stay out of it

"I am Archer. Is that a problem to not be, upset I am too. But worried none the less… good enough?" Saber venomously answered, glaring at the woman-child who'd been nothing but a threatening irritation these past two days. She hated the woman more every second, since she could see Archer was finding amusement in all what was going on. Some of the others stepped back, already feeling the slowly increasing tension between the two

"Oh why yes it-" Archer was about to say, only for her eyes to go wide before lunging and tackling down Saber to the ground; followed by something flying over them

"What was that?" Artoria asked, as she pushed Archer off before seeing Hana's M.E.K.A on the ground, intact with only a few dents, cuts and a sparking wire or two. Saber quickly got back up, running towards Hana "HANA!"

"You're welcome…" Archer grumbled, a bit irked for a moment as she got up too. Seeing some of the others, alongside Saber mostly helping Hana out

"Im fine…just ow…" Hana answered, before looking back at her suit "Man, that's going to take a bit to fix… OW RIN!"

"We'll be happy you're alive dummy!" Rin scolded, having smacked the backside of Hana's head. Before sighing, looking back to see Isolda and the other rouge servants walking up to them "Great…"

"Well now. That was quiet a trick missy. But no more, you're all…." Isolda began to say, before she stopped looking around at the group seeming to try and find someone "Hey, where's my little wife?!"

-Two minutes ago-

"Oh no, no big sis is having a hard time!" Illya screamed, as she was now hiding behind a tree for safety while this all went on

She wanted this to stop, why did they have to fight she wondered. Was it really worth hurting each other for some stupid cup. She wanted to help really, but she couldn't. She was scared, so scared to be hurt.

"I'm just a coward…" Illya muttered in her own self-pity, tearing up a bit as she hid behind the tree. But as she did, she quickly heard some metal start to rip. Looking back out she saw Hana was being overwhelmed, along with seeing her big sis and the others on her side to busy talking about whatever. Then she looked back seeing Hana's suit take a few damaging hits "Nee-san ni!"

Illya quickly hid back behind the tree, her heart was racing fast. She wanted this to go all the way and just go back to the happy times. She didn't like this at all… but she knew this wasn't a just a bad dream. Illya was smarter then she looked and it was thanks to her big sister why she was. Illya knew her big sister would be yelling at her to get out there and face whatever she was scared at. So Illya being wanting to be a big girl and keep her family along with friends safe. Decided she'd do it… the summoning. Taking out from her pocket a piece of old bone. She looked at it, before remembering what she spied on her big sister did before summoning Archer. Drawing a circle with a twig quickly, she placed a bone piece on it. Before starting the summoning.

"Let silver and steel be the essence.

Let stone and the archduke of contracts be the foundation

Let silver the colour I pay tribute to / Let my great Master Tohsaka be the ancestor

Let rise a wall against the wind that shall fall

Let the four cardinal gates close.

Let the three-forked road from the crown reaching unto the Kingdom rotate.

-(He awakens feeling the summon)-

I hereby declare.

Your body shall serve under me.

My fate shall be your sword.

Submit to the beckoning of the Holy Grail

If you will submit to this will and this reason…Then answer!

-(He can feel the small one's plead of fear…)-

An oath shall be sworn here!

I shall attain all virtues of all of Heaven.

I shall have dominion over all evils of all of Hell!

From the Seventh Heaven, attended to by three greet words of power,

Come forth from the ring of restraints,

-(But he also felt her fury, he would answer this child's call. She was worthy)-

Protector of the Holy Balance!"

Though as this went on, Illya didn't realize what was going on from behind the tree she used to hide herself. Though after this, she wouldn't need to hide anymore.

-Present time-

"Huh…?" Olivia muttered at least, looking around first as she realized Illya was missing too "Hey crazies right. Rin you're little sis is gone!"

"What, Illya!" Rin screamed, about to go into a panic before she felt her aunt Ashe grip her shoulder "Aunt Ashe?"

"You feel that." Ashe simply stated, as she looked over near a large wide tree. Rin taking a moment before she felt it too

"I do…" Rin answered, going wide eyed as she suddenly realized what was happening

"What, Rin what's-" Hana began to ask, before she, Genji, Lucio, Olivia, Brigette and the other servants felt it all of sudden

Before anymore could be said or asked of. A burst of prana pulsed throughout the area, before suddenly the tree exploded into pieces for the sheer force. Thankfully it only lasted a few moments, as seconds later the others were able to clearly see Illya and…her servant. Question was…how did she summoned this…thing in the first place.

The male servant in question was indeed what could be considered the picture of a Berserker class servant. Almost at least eight feet tall, muscular beyond belief. With long dark messy hair, red eyes, carrying an oversized bone made serrated sword. Wearing only shackles around his wrists, ankles and a platted leather skirt. The one thing that reassured everyone that Ilya had just summoned the final of the actual servants. Was the bestial growls he gave off, like an unfiltered bloodlust was enrapturing it's very core. Though Berserker looking at the two groups, not yet know which were his and his master allies. Did the only thing Berserkers were known for, it roared.

"IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII !" Berserker roared, it's primal blood rage echoing throughout the air as a upset Illya glared at Isolda. Who though herself wanted Illya to love her and be her little wife, was smart enough to know that now was not the best time to try that anymore

"H-Hey little wife. No need to get vicious here. We we're just having fun you know…hehe." Isolda exclaimed, as this was a rare moment she felt actual fear. Holding her hand's up for peace while the other rouge servants powerful yes, knew a full-fledged Berserker was not to be trifled with. Especially this one, looking like he could kill them all given enough time and that he would be a tough one to kill either way. Though the glare Illya was giving off, was showing she was not having any of it

"You said you were going to force me to be your wife, you tried to kill my new friends, my aunt, my Nee-san Ni and my big sister. You're a big mean bad woman, you don't deserve to get away!" Illya screamed angrily for once, as this was a rather rare feeling for the child. But she even knew, what had occurred was NOT okay. Narrowing her eyes, as Berserker could feel the anger inside Illya growled; while everyone else just watched what was to happen "Berserker, AT-"

Though as Illya was about to issue an order, to the servants on Hana's side at least. They heard a loud, very loud boom. Before seeing something hit the ground between the two groups, leaving a dent. Confused, they looked around seeing what had made such a noise, with Isolda was just confused on who would dare shoot a gun at them. Even if neither side was hit.

"WHO DID THAT!" Isolda demanded, angrily grumbling that it seemed someone else now was butting in on her fight

"Sorry little missy, that be me." A man said, as everyone looked to their left. At a large tall tree and seeing a man, all in white with a face mask and goggles. Holding a rifle in his hands, much to the servant on Hana's side confusion on what kind of weapon that was; though cursing the grail some for not giving them the proper full knowledge of this era aside from the language they spoke of. Leaping down from the tree, the man cracked his neck; while resting his rifle in a more relaxed position

"And who the hell are you coward!" Lancer yelled first, finding this man already a coward if he was the one that just did…well whatever kind of attack he did from afar. Sure he knew the benefits of long range combat, but that didn't mean he liked the more cowardly way of battle

"Lancer come on man…" Lucio muttered, face palming for a moment at his servants bluntness

"Hmf… rude comment aside. I'm just another rouge servant you can say. Call me Ranger." Ranger answered calmly and in a friendly manner, despite the tension in the air currently

"Then does that mean you're on their side sir…?" Brigette carefully asked, worried that this would get even harder of a fight if Ranger was joining in even with their own new servant

"Oh are you, if so I-" Isolda was about to say, before her servant Valorous quickly blocked the bullet that was shot at her head

"Bastard. You dare fire at my master, come over here and I'll show you what a mistake that was!" Valorous screamed in a slight rage, aiming his spear at Ranger who just sighed

"Yeah no… anyways, I'm not on either of your sides." Ranger simply answered, much to both sides confusion

"Then…who's side are you on?" Genji asked now, narrowing his eyes a bit as he was worried this was going to get WAY more complicated possibly

"Theirs." Ranger yet again, simply answered, thumbing behind him as both sides looked. Seeing two more people appear before them and right next to Ranger

The first man was… well wasn't a man that was for sure. At least in the normal sense. He was made fully of somewhat matted light grey and tan metal. With yellow chin, a shinier steel plated face that hand blue dot's on the face in 3X3 positioning. Was wearing a red loin cloth tired around his waist, over the yellow baggy pants he wore and no shoes since his metal feet looked more like boots the anything. He also wore around his neck, well kind of. But it was nine steel and blue lined spears that floated around him more then on his neck at all. Finally this person was somehow floating in the air, in a meditative pose of all things. Though also to note, both groups saw the three red insignias on his metal right hand.

Which then meant, the last person who was also a man with the two was a servant. This one was a somewhat taller than average man, thin yet seeming like he was muscular in a way. His skin caucasian, with a straight large nose, somewhat wrinkled face, brown deep eyes and his bear which only was around his chin, sides of his face and connected to his dark brown hair. He wore a simple black suit, black fancy shoes, with a white vest underneath and a black bow tie. Though what was most noticeable was his rather tall round brimmed hat he wore onto of his head. To the servants on both sides, aside from maybe one or two who looked be in the more modern times possibly. None had any idea who this man was or why he wore such an odd hat. But to the masters of Hana's side at least, they knew very well who this man was.

"No freaking way…" Hana muttered, as she knew she shouldn't be surprised by this. If heroic spirits were selected for making their marks on human history from what she'd had gathered. This man before then she should have expected to be one, still it was shocking to see the man in front of her alive in the flesh

"Greetings fellow master and spirits. I am humbled to be amongst many legends as yourselves. You may call me Liberator." The man or Liberator kindly stated, with a tip if his hand and a small smile

"You're another rouge aren't you?" Isolda asked angrily, narrowing her eyes at Liberator mainly; who himself just kept on smiling

"I am. But unlike you and your ilk. I and my fellow servants are on the side to keep harmony in this war." Liberator explained "Master may I?"

"You can, though like I've said before. Call me Zenyatta. Master is not what I want to be to you my friend." Zenyatta kindly stated, before looking at Hana's group; mainly at Genji. Caster was about to say something as she felt uneasy with the…well the metal man looking at her master. Only to get quiet the surprise when seeing Genji do a quick bow

"Master Zenyatta. I am glad to see once again!" Genji joyfully quipped, before straightening back up. Zenyatta doing the same gesture moments later

"You as well my old student and friend. It is sad that you have been dragged into this meaningless war. But I am glad to see you've been having a good life after you left the monastery." Zenyatta calmly, if not with joy said to Genji

"Well it's because of your teaching that I could at all." Genji exclaimed, though as Caster was about to ask what was going on now; Isolda cut in

"Enough with the hello crap. What right can Mister Liberator claim to keeping this war in your so called 'Harmony'?" Isolda asked irritably, as her fun was just getting ruined every second now. Didn't help when she saw the small smile of Liberator grow a bit wider

"Because. Like you rouges and my fellow Ranger here. I am a hybrid servant. More in fact…" Liberator explained, before rolling up his right sleeve showing his whole forearm and hand covered with command seals "I am a Ruler and Foreigner class hybrid."

"Foreigner?" Isolda asked, as she was so confused now. Having never heard of that class at all…like ever

"Ruler?" The servant master and the servants, aside from Berserker who was just like a stone statue now as this all went on. Ask themselves out loud, none having hear at all of a Ruler class

"Indeed. Be as you none of you seem to understand what that means. I can only say what the grail told me on my classes. Foreigners are considered threats to humanity, one's who embrace the madness of other worldly beings to get to the short of it. That I do not understand myself why I'm part of that class of servants." Liberator explained with a slight irked sigh, before continuing on "For Ruler. Simple my fellows. Rulers are classes sent by the grail itself when more than the seven servants are summoned or in this case the rouges like I showing up. In short I'm what would be called a referee of the grail war. Making sure all goes smoothly while the war goes on, if not well you can all guess by my extra command seals."

"Great…" Rin muttered, as this was just getting more and more worrying along with becoming more complicated by the second. This war was trouble enough for her to come to grips with, but the appearance of these two other rouge servant and another of the rouge masters didn't help

"S-So what… this fight is fair enough as it is and no one is doing anything again the grail war rules!" Isolda argued, though Lucio of all people cut in

"Actually miss. Rin told us a while ago, that this place is what you'd call neutral grounds. I mean sure it's the Church itself technically. But I don't think it would be apricated to ruin the figurative front lawn of the Church itself would we?" Lucio quipped, smirking a bit as technically yes. Right now they weren't on the neutral grounds, but if the fight so far were to get out of hand so close; well that wouldn't be good for anyone

"Hm… seems like your masters craftier then I gave him credit for Lancer." Medusa whispered to her fellow servant, as she'd seen most of the master here aside from Olivia; were softer hearted then most she'd know. But it seemed she may have been quick on that assessment

"Yeah guess he is. Good on you lad." Lancer muttered smirking as he saw the look on Isolda's face. One of sudden realization at what his master was hinting at, followed by the smugness she been giving evaporate just like that

"Well the young man is correct, little miss. We wouldn't want to make the overseer of the war angry now would we?" Assassin added in, smirking a bit himself as he'd found Isolda's personality ugly in many ways even if she was physically very beautiful

"Hm…." Isolda grumbled as she clenched her fists a bit, seeing the opposing masters and servants smirking at her predicament –"Damnit, damnit, DAMNIT…IT'S NOT FAIR!"-

"I agree as well with my fellow servants." Liberator stated ever so calm, giving them a nod of appreciation to help get his point across. Before looking back at Isolda, making a few of his command seals glow "But if you are instant on fighting. I can use these to make sure that happens and to see your demise emanate."

"…" Isolda didn't say, as she gritted her teeth and narrowed her eyes. While her knuckles were even more white then her already pale white skin from how hard she was clenching. Her servant and the other rouges lent to her waited to see what Isolda would decide. But they all hoped not to fight, as they couldn't sense Liberator lying at all

"Well?" Liberator asked once again, slightly sterner as he narrowed his own eyes at the young homunculus

"Tch…. FINE, come we're leaving!" Isolda screamed irritably, almost ready to throw a tantrum but kept her cool. Before Valorous picked her up bridal style, as she glared at her enemies, the three new commers included now "Next time we meet, your all dead. Aside from my little Illya, but the rest of you are DEAD. YOU HEAR ME DEAD!"

With that Valorous leaped away into the air and out of sight fairly well. Javelinist and Cursed one gave the seven servants and master a stare before vanishing too. Broken simply summoned his horse, before getting on it; but not before making a finger across his neck gesture at the others. Then with a quick tug on his steads mane. They rode off before they too were good as gone from sight. Once that was all over with, Liberator let out a sigh of relief before looking at the seven servants and masters. Ranger and Zenyatta followed in suit.

"I have to admit, my bluff work well enough don't you think?" Liberator remarked as the others were a bit surprised by what he just admitted

"Wait, are you saying all that were lies?" Saber asked, as she wouldn't have though anything else on Liberator's claims as lies if he hadn't just admitted to it just now

"Well yeah short stuff. Didn't any of you sense his heart rate go up when he was bluffing his way out of that situation?" Archer asked as the other servants all just nodded a no to that "Huh really… odd."

"That aside. Indeed I did lie, I can't actually do what Ruler class servants could do, though the same can be said about my Foreigner side as well. Which for that I'm glad about." Liberator remarked half happy about that fact at least "All I can really do with these command seals is just enforce what I guess you'd call enhancements onto fellow servants during battle, with maybe some control over their actions if any were to get out of hand. But that's all."

"Hang on a second!" Rin suddenly yelled, seeming angry for some reason as the other turned their attention to her now

"Rin what's wrong hunny?" Hana asked, using one of her cute nicknames for Rin to help her calm down. Which seemed to work just a bit, if the blush on Rin's' cheeks all of sudden were any indication

"I was saying…." Rin replied, doing her best to keep cool as her heart began to race again whenever Hana used one of her own adored nickname for herself "Shouldn't you be not telling us this. I mean you aren't exactly on our side either if what you said earlier is true. That and you!"

"Me?" Ranger asked, crossing his arms as he was curious on what the young lady had to say to him

"Y-You could be an enemy for all we know. It could all be just a-" Rin began to argue, as he mage side was screaming that this was all a trap. A trick to get them to let their guard down before being attacked from behind. Though Archer of all people, was the one to shut her up as she clasped her hand over her master mouth

"Alright master, chill with the whole wary magus shtick. It's getting a bit old." Archer remarked, as she looked upon Liberator "Anyways… can you at least promise us you won't attack for the time being. Well until all the other rouges are dealt with. Then…"

"We understand miss. For now, though we're not fully on your side. We are allies here." Ranger answered this time, before looking at Hana "Does that work for you missy?"

"Huh… w-why are you asking me?" Hana asked, worriedly as she did not want to be the leader anymore or at least she hoped everyone had forgotten about that little fact when the battle had started

"Because I may have been spying on you all and before you think it. No, not to kill any of ya. Just recon is all, well that and to tell these two here when it would be a good time to come in." Ranger exclaimed, though at least for the servants it seemed; that seemed still pretty if not a bit more wary of the man. Sighing, Ranger just decided to let it be "Anyways… like I was saying, I overheard them make you the boss here. So, that's why I'm asking you."

"Wait wouldn't that be then Mister tall man here Lincoln to ask?" Illya asked, as she even knew thanks to the classes she had about US history alongside history of the various countries in this world, the other master did too. But kept quiet since you know the whole not telling name things, but oddly it seemed Liberator or Lincoln didn't mind and even laughed a bit

"Well I had a feeling you young ones would be able to tell who I am." Lincoln remarked amusingly, laughing some more. Though for most of the other servants, aside from yet again Archer who seemed neutral on this and Berserker who well.. just didn't care aside from keeping Illya safe. But the other servants were quite confused, they knew they could learn who he is later on with the help from their masters. But, they were utterly confused on why he seemed so at ease even though one of the biggest weaknesses servants had in this war had been revealed to technically enemy masters

"Is it me or do any of you find this man…odd?" Caster asked, a bit wary now of this so called Liberator. Not to help that he seemed to have another rouge named Ranger, who used a weapon that even as she looked at it. Felt uneasy by the mere sight of it and the fact it made such a large boom

Didn't help that it seemed at least Liberator's master knew her master quite well. Along with the even more worrying fact to her, that the thing wasn't made naturally. To her the metal man seemed extremely unnatural. She began to wonder how much this era went, for it seemed like they tried becoming akin to the gods themselves. Though as Caster at least was having a slight panic at what may happen now. The other servants with their own thoughts, were at least able to answer her back.

"Eh." Archer replied first, shrugging like she was at ease by this odd sight

"Half-half." Assassin replied next. Though yes he was quiet surprised, he let it be as he knew worrying too much on it wouldn't help one bit

"Well I just don't like either of them much." Lancer quipped, as it was more on Ranger so far. Liberator or Lincoln was iffy for him since he was technically a rouge servant

"Hm…" Medusa didn't say, much at all really. She was just going to go with whatever was going on for the moment, she rather not have any more of a headache then she had thanks to her fight with Cursed One. She was glad Saber had helped her out, for his more berserker side of his hybrid class defiantly showed with some of his attacks that didn't involve that cowards weapon he called a gun. Though now she was even more curious on the one Ranger had, if anything seems like Cursed One was being honest on that aspect at least "Saber?"

"I have to admit. These three in general or oddities. More ways than one…" Saber muttered as she could sense they were good hearted well enough. But they were rouges so, she didn't know what to think anymore. Especially since this war was strange from the very start. Looking to their newest if not fearsome final addition to their seven servant team; she sighed already feeling like she was going to regret asking him "Berserker, thoughts?"

"…." Berserker didn't say, only responding back with a low bestial growl as he looked down at the petite knight

"Should have seen that one coming short stuff." Archer remarked, giving off one of her already well know smug smirked as she patted the top of Saber head "But don't worry little cub. You'll learn."

"Thank you. How nice…" Saber muttered irritably, having no idea what to think on Archer anymore. Especially after catching a glimpse at her fight with the one called Valorous or the fact it seemed Archer was a swordsmen. She'd asked the woman more on that later, well more of force some answers out of the woman-child if needed. Mainly for Hana's sake after the beating Archer gave her at school and also to vent out her own anger towards the disgrace of a heroic spirit; along with now sword wielders in general. Though she was soon brought back to the current moment, when she felt Hana nudge her a bit "Hm…yes Hana?"

"I was asking if you're cool with it." Hana explained, smiling a bit as Saber was utter confused

"I.. I'm sorry, my mind was elsewhere. What is you're asking of me?" Saber asked back, curious on what was even being talked about. That and when she could, she scold herself for drifting off so easily

"Well we we're talking to Zenyatta." Hana kindly explained, as Saber looked at the rouge servant master of Liberator who waved. Saber waving back, still baffled that this metal man was real; though also realized this must have been what she'd called an Omnic "And we agreed to take up Rangers proposition."

"Which is to work together until the other rouges and their masters are taken care of. After that, we'll figure it out." Rin added in, though internally she wasn't that comfortable about this. But once again, this war was too odd for her to say no to anymore help given. Though she'd have to talk with Illya alone when she could about what to do next "The other servants already agreed to, along with us masters. So we're only waiting for your answer."

"Hana after our time here, we're going to talk about this later." Saber sternly stated, giving Hana a scolding gaze that she was in trouble. Which made her master flinch and shy away a bit, though Saber did her best not to feel guilty about it. Looking at her fellow servants who all just nodded back. Only the males seeming more willing than the females with this alliance. So sighing she knew she wasn't going to feel easy about this one bit, averting her gaze to the three rouges "I accept as well. I hope until the end we'll become good comrades."

"We as well Saber." Zenyatta answered, doing a quick respectful bow as Saber did the same "Now then. I believe this is where we'll part ways. But young one's if you need any help or assistants. Even if you just need to talk. Ask my friend Genji. He'll be able to give you my contact information."

"We appreciate the offer Zenyatta." Hana kindly replied, doing her own bow along with the others. Though Sombra and Rin didn't, well only for a moment before Hana elbowed both of them slight hard. Getting the idea, as they followed in seconds later before the straightened themselves back up "Anyways. I guess this is where we part ways then. Thank you, really thanks you for coming in. I was a bit worried Illya's sudden new servant here would have made things a bit more…hectic. No offense Illya."

"No issue Nee-san Ni!" Illya happily answered as she was already on Berserkers shoulder, happy as can be "He's super nice already. Like a big puppy!"

"Yeah… a big puppy that could break us like twigs." Olivia muttered as she found the sight oddly cute, if not well odd in general

"It's was no problem child. Well then. Until we meet next fellow heroic spirits!" Lincoln happily cheered, before he. Zenyatta and Ranger made their off the way they'd came from. Like before, it didn't take too long before they were out of site; leaving the full team of seven servants and Master. Along with Rin's aunt alone

"So… guess we should get going ourselves then. I'll see you all at school tomorrow, night!" Olivia said first, making her way off now as she Medusa followed behind and were going moments later

"Same here then. My mom is gonna kill me." Lucio remarked with a sigh, as Lancer chuckled and smacked his back

"Hey chin up kid. Just tell your mom you we're helping out little missy there and she'll understand." Lancer quipped as he thumbed to Brigette who blushed some; Lucio doing the same

"Hehe….right…" Lucio said, doing his best to keep calm as he faced the others "Well I'm off too. Super glad I meet ya all, see you at school!"

With that, Lucio followed by Lancer were off as well. Then Genji decided now it was time to make an exit before it got too quiet for his liking. Coughing in his palm, the others turned their gazed towards him and Caster now.

"So… not to make it awkward or whatever. But I think I'll make my way off now." Genji quipped, but before doing so Caster cut in

"That and we're having a talk back home. Understood?" Caster remarked sternly, crossing her arms as even from under her hood. Genji could tell she was dead serious on this

"Y-Yeah…understood Caster hehe…" Genji replied back, smiling the best he could as he knew he was going to get an earful. But yet again before he or Caster could go, Brigette cut in this time

"Wait before you go. Can I ask. But you wouldn't happen to live in the small little hovel under the bridge?" Brigette asked kindly, though Genji was quite surprised by that accurate assumption. Which only got Caster angrier at him, mainly because she just realized he must have been a bit to carefree or done something for someone to see him. That little home of his or theirs now, was well hidden from sight

"Yeah but how did you…" Genji asked as Brigette chuckled a little

"Easy. When I was going to meet Genji in the city. I saw you coming out and throwing away some trash in a nearby ditch. Have to say though if I hadn't seen you do that. I wouldn't have noticed where you live." Brigette happily explained, though not realizing the figurative and possibly literal hole she was helping dig for Genji

"OH….right ah…" Genji replied, though he swore he could feel the slowly increasing angry Caster was having towards what was probably quiet the insight on his part. Sighing he knew he'd have to deal with it, that and he couldn't help but feel a bit happy one of his new friends lived near him. So accepting his fate later on tonight, he decided to at least offer Brigette an offer" Well since you know where I live. Mind if Caster and I walk you to your home?"

"Oh sure. That would br great!" Brigette joyfully quipped, before panicking a bit as she looked back at Assassin "Oh I'm super sorry Assassin. I didn't ask you on your opinion!"

"It's no issue master. I'll go along with whatever you." Assassin calmly replied, as he really seemed to not mind before he looked upon Genji and Caster "Besides the young man here at least seems respectable enough to not stab you in the back."

"Oh thanks you Assassin!" Brigette joyfully stated, giving the man a quick hug

"Little…" Caster grumbled, as she could tell the obvious jab at her. Not that she though he knew who she was, but she probably gave off an aura that Assassin could sense or something. That or maybe the Assassin was just a honest prick…yeah probably that if anyone asked her

"No problem master." Assassin simply said, before looking back at Genji "Young man if you would."

"Right." Genji responded, looking at Hana, Rin, Illya, Ashe and the servants. The others going with him following seconds later as Genji gave them a respectful nod "I'm glad to have meet you ladies. I'll see you tomorrow."

"Same here. We all are gonna be the best of friends!" Brigette proclaimed as she gave Hana, Rin and Illya at least a big gentle hug. Before she, Genji, Caster and Assassin began making their way off. Brigette looking back once more "SEE YOU AT SCHOOL TOMMORROW AND HAVE A GREAT NIGHT!"

"You too!" Hana shouted back, giving the four a wave back, before they like the all the others vanished from sight. Happy enough with what had occurred so far, Hana looked back at the last of their official group "Well now. Glad we made some new friends. Ain't that right!"

"If you call three rouges, one rouge master and meat head her friends the yeah. Guess we did squirt." Archer replied, mocking in many ways as she smiled at Hana who scowled just a bit. Before letting it be… for now

"Right… bitch." Hana responded back. Whispering the last part very quietly as only the servants heard it, Saber herself smirking a bit when she got a quick look at the slightly irritated look Archer had. Saber really did believe this woman-child needed to be knocked down a few pegs from her smugness so far "Anyways. Rin, I'm going to stay here for just a few. Need to get some fresh air you know. But why don't you, Illya and your aunt. Along with your servants make your back home kay?"

"You sure, we can stay here for a bit longer." Rin asked, a concerned tone mixed with not wanting to; but that she would if her precious Hana suggested it once more. Ashe herself couldn't help but find it amusing in a cute way, for as long as she had known her older adorable niece. Rin had always been so independent, but seems like Hana was the only one she was mostly submissive to; again Ashe found that quite cute

"Yeah we don't want to leave you alone Nee san Ni!" Illya added in worriedly as she didn't want her other big sister to be alone and get hurt

"Oh don't worry you two. I mean I have Saber with me so I'm fine honest." Hana sweety said as she patted the top of Illya's head, then looked to Rin "Okay hunny?"

"F-Fine… just be safe dummy." Rin replied back blushing some once again, before she kissed Hana on the cheek also for the second time in the span of two days. Before without even saying a word just made her way off, Illya following behind with a cute smirk on her face as Berserker was right on his new masters trail to keep her safe. Archer just seemed neutral for once, before making her own way off. Ashe was last, giving the two women a quick two finger salute goodbye as they all moments later vanished from sight

Though as Hana was again star gazed, her heart thumping faster all of sudden. That good mood quickly died down when she turned around. Seeing Saber giving her scolding gaze. Didn't help that she was crossing her arms, tapping her right foot on the ground. Hana shuttered a bit as she took a deep breath.

"So…S-Saber I-" Hana began to say, only for Saber to smack her across the face. Thankfully not too hard, though that wasn't saying much since Saber still had her armor and even if it wasn't the plated side. The extra weight caused a bit more force in the slap, causing Hana to actually flinch back a bit. Shocked, before looking back at a still angered Saber "W-What was that for?!"

"For putting your life at stake like that!" Saber screamed sternly, making Hana flinch back some more. But Saber kept on before Hana could argue "Yes you did help. But you should know better than to jump in a battle like that by yourself in…in whatever that thing behind us is. Do you understand, you could have died. DIED!"

"I-I know that… I was just trying to help." Hana shyly answered, as Saber internally felt guilty for striking Hana. But she had too, it was the best was to show how severe her choice in the battle had been

"I know that. But don't you get it. If you die I do too, not just that but I DON'T want you to die. Along with it being my job to keep you safe and to fight your battles. Not the other way around!" Saber explained sternly yet again, pointing yet again at the damaged M.E.K.A suit "And using something like that, to blinding charged in to fight everyone yourself isn't keeping you safe. Do you understand!"

"Yes alright!" Hana screamed back, Saber flinching a bit from how sudden it was and how feral her tone sounded too "But I'm not the sort of person to stand back and not help my friends, so sue me!"

"…Friends." Saber muttered, as she hadn't realized that maybe Hana really did see them as friends already. Sure they were close so far but, she didn't expect to be that good of a friend to her master so quickly. Sighing as she could see Hana tearing up a bit, she decided to try and calm the situation down. Walking closer up to Hana, before simply placing her right hand on her shoulder "Okay…look, right now let's just get back to your home. We'll talk about this later in a more civil manner. I'm sorry though for slapping you, but I just want to keep you safe and what you did wasn't keeping you safe. Good intentions or not, you understand right?"

"…Y-Yeah… I'm sorry Saber." Hana replied, but seemed down now and shy still as she averted her eyes from Saber who only felt more guilt build up in her

"Good… maybe once we get back. We can just talk. You know…as friends?" Saber suggested, though she knew she wasn't the best when it came to such types of talk. But seeing Hana smiled a little from the suggestion, was to her worth it

"Sure. Sounds good. OH before that…" Hana replied back feeling a bit better now, as she moved over to her damaged M.E.K.A suit "Man. They really did a number on her."

"I'm sure we can fix it…though I don't think I'll be much of help." Saber replied back "Speaking of that, where did you get this thing anyways?"

"Eh… I'll explain when we get back home Saber. Trust me it's a long story." Hana sheepishly answered, rubbing the back of her head

"Very well then. Though how will we get it back to your home anyways?" Saber asked yet again, as Hana smirked flashing the watch on her wrist

"Watch and learn Saber. This is one of the many useful perks of living in this era." Hana quipped, pressing a button. As to Saber's shock. She watched the M.E.K.A dematerialize into blue cubes before it was fully gone like it never had been there "Tada. Personal digital storage of my own design or at least the person who made this watch!"

"W-What sort of witch craft has your era dwelled into?" Saber muttered, shocked at what this era already was showing. Though… two things did come to mind on what she did need to talk to Hana on "Hana. When we get back home, can I ask you a few questions?"

"Yeah sure. What on so I can get ready to answer?" Hana kindly asked

"Well first off I'd like to know on the identity of Liberator. Lincoln." Saber explained first, as Hana had a feeling that would be the case

"Sure. I can find some great literature on him for you to read. Heck even a few documentaries my mom bought when I was like super young." Hana responded back, as she was for sure able to do that "What's the other questions?"

"Well… it has to do something with my fight alongside Rider, when we fought the rouge servant called Cursed one. To be honest this would be a two part questions but… Hana. I need to know the state of my beloved homeland were in right now." Saber explained first as Hana went wide eyed, before face palming

"Oh my god stupid me!" Hana scolded herself as she'd forgotten to tell Saber they were in fact in the same homeland she must have lived in during her life time "Things have been so crazy that it slipped my mind. But I swear I'll catch you up on everything that Britain's and England as a whole has gone through promise!"

"Thank you Hana, but don't fret on it either. I should have expected your mind may have not been all there thanks to the events these past two days. Including tonight." Saber replied with a small reassuring smile "Anyways. What else I want to ask. I think I saw you use them in your game of yours you showed me. But… Hana, I need to know about guns."

"Guns?" Hana asked confused a bit at the request "Saber. Why would you need to know about guns?

"Because during our battle with Cursed One. He said a few things, about how England as a whole changed and how… well how guns changed a lot more." Saber answered, clenching her fists and scowling at the man's words "He mocked me…mocked my years of training. Say it meant nothing thanks to guns. So I need to know Hana. I need to know about guns. I'll learn about everything else after I learn more on guns and Lincoln. So that's why…"

"…Okay. I'll see what I can find to get you started. I promise." Hana said, giving Saber a hug suddenly much to the servants surprise. Before letting go, smiling as happy as can be "Sorry I'm just happy you're okay. Anyways, come on let's get back home."

"Right. After you Hana." Saber stated as Hana nodded, before making her way off now towards their home

Saber following seconds later. Though as they did, elsewhere hours later. Their new allies would all one way or another, get a better idea on the world around them…

-With Rin, Archer, Ashe, Illya and Berserker-

"Alright… alright. Let me get this straight." Lena stated, as she, Emily and Winston all sat around with Rin, Illya, Archer and their two new… guests. Lena trying at least to come to terms with what was going to be happening after tonight "You, Hana who also is a master, along with four other teens you just meet today. Along with also taking Illya with you even though it's super late and you have school tomorrow… BUT. You all went down to the creepy priests residence. To get info on the war. Am I getting that right so far?"

"Yep.." Rin simply responded, as so far it was going well. Aside from the fact aside from her, everyone else even Archer just kept their mouths shut –"COME ON, someone else please say something!"-

"Right. Now that's already troubling enough to hear. But behold… that's not it. NO, oh no. Now I'm hearing you have to go out in a team to hunt rouge servants and masters. That along with the fact…THIS MAN!" Lena screamed finally, not happy one bit as she pointed at Berserker. Who still behaving as the ever so silent sentinel for Illya, the… terrifying sentinel no doubt "Is now Illya's servant. But what's worst is that-"

"Lena sweetie please. You're getting a bit too angry now." Emily quickly cut in, doing her best to keep her now fiancée calm

To be perfectly honest though. She was still getting use to the whole magic thing. Not that it set her off aside from the explanation on how most magus acted. Which she was glad Lena, Rin and Illya were not like that one bit. But still, she actually found it pretty cool. Though now learning about just tonight the whole Grail War thing was making her feel uneasy once again. Especially when she looked at the two called Archer and Berserker. She'd found Archer the night before an odd one, if not nice enough when she wanted to be. BUT…now she was curious, what heroes of old were these two. Especially Archer. For some reason, she couldn't remember anything on a hero who looked like how she did. At least Berserker Emily could guess a bit on. Still, there was at least one good thing from getting two new guests.

"I know…still… YOU!" Lena yelled as she pointed at her cousin Ashe, still trying to get some of her anger out "I'm happy to see you. But you should have stopped by before taking Rin to break Archer out from jail?!"

"How'd you do that anyways without tipping off the authorities? "Winston asked, finally finding a good time to say something at least

Now Winston was a man of science. Using logic to solve most of not all problems, but even years later he himself was doing what he could to get use to the fact magic was real. Well to be honest, he did find it interesting since magic in real life seem to work quiet differently from how it did in media. Though what he found the oddest when it came to magic, which considering the fact he was a super genius gorilla who lived with a bunch of humans in a mansion. He'd always found the idea of the Holy Grail war horrific and the concept of Heroic Spirits also horrifying if not also just impossible despite what he'd seen so far when it came to magic. But now here they were, with them in the same room like it was just another normal night. He couldn't even begin to image who else would be summons. Still, he was glad to see his family was alright.

"Winston, Winston you silly ape you. You should know I always have an ace." Ashe quipped as she showed her own magic crest for a moment

"Bob?" Lena asked sighing, with an eye twitch

"Bob." Ashe simply answered, smirking with pride

"Bob…" Rin added in, as she would have to remind herself to send some cash anonymously to the police station as a sorry present. Well get her aunt Ashe to make sure no finger prints were on it either, still she was glad to see good old Bob again even if it was with the end of result of massive destruction of the police station that held Archer

"Bobby!" Illya happily exclaimed, as she always liked see Bob. Well the few times when she did see him when she was younger. Still Bob or Bobby as she called him, could make a great playmate for her servant Berserker the big old puppy she saw him as

"Right… I should have guessed." Lena muttered, as she had a feeling things were only going to get more troublesome from here. But looking at the clock seeing it was 11:00 already, she got up "Alright. Rin, Illya bed now. I'll wake you up in a few hours for school."

"Aw… but cousin Lena. I'm not…tired." Illya tried to argue, but let out such a cute yawn that mostly everyone in the room almost gushed at the sight

"Hehe. Not what I would say kiddo." Winston replied as he moved over Illya, only to see Berserker turned his head to him for a moment as both gaze upon each other. Winston raising an eyebrow "I'm just going to put her to bed. That fine with you big guy?"

"….." Berserker didn't say, but an underlying growl could be barley heard. Thankfully Illya cut in, before the situation could get worse

"It's okay Berserker… they're family…" Illya stated as she was dozing off now, though Berserker had been able to read her loud and clear. If his master said they were okay, he would listen. No if's, and's or but's; well if he could say any of those anyways

"Thanks." Winston simply replied. Giving the large beast a nod as he gently lifted Illya onto his back before making his way upstairs without another word to put Illya to sleep and to sleep himself afterwards. Berserker dematerializing seconds later, most likely to keep an eye on Illya in her room once she was put to bed for the night

"Well since we're all getting ready for bed. Lena and I will show you to your room Ashe." Emily quipped as Ashe seemed a bit hesitant

"Oh ah… you don't have to I'm staying at a motel." Ashe quickly replied, as she wasn't one to stay over at others even if it was with family

"None of that Ashe. For once let us just treat you as our guest." Lena quipped, smirking as she saw the slight hesitation Ashe displayed moments before "Unless you're trying to play cool for Rin here."

"C-Cool, yeah right." Ashe replied back defensively as she crossed her arms. A slight sudden redness coming just barley across her face while her left eye twitched a bit "W-What would give you that idea?"

"…." Lena, Emily, Rin and Archer didn't even have to say. Seeing the obvious truth behind Lena's words as they gave her just a 'Right…' stare, thankfully that didn't last too long

"Whatever you say cousin." Lena muttered, a bit amused if not still a little shocked seeing Ashe after these past few years "Well, come on. Emily and I will show you to your room."

"Sure…" Ashe replied, sighing herself as she really was feeling tired and anything from that motel bed would be amazing. So getting up she looked back at Rin and smiled just a little, before giving her a head pat "Have a good night kiddo."

"Thanks auntie Ashe." Rin replied, as she did her best to not sub come to the effects of the head pats. But she giggled just a bit as she nuzzled the top of her head with her auntie Ashe's had for a few moments before the retracted form one another

"Pfff." Archer muttered a close moment of almost laughing out loud, Rin could only guess to mock her; but had been smart enough to keep her mouth sealed. Rin though despite feeling a bit irked after that, could help but feel even more at ease from the head pat as she watched Emily leading Ashe already up the stairs. Lena behind, but stopped after the first two steps she took, she looked back at Rin and Archer

"Get to bed soon yourself okay Rin. You're still going to school so you'll need all the rest you can get." Lena kindly stated, as Rin was so glad to have such a chill cousin like Lena as her guardian

"I will, but I need to talk with Archer just for a bit. Still, night. Love you." Rin replied as she could already feel Archer groaning from behind. But she wasn't going to have it, she was going to get some answers from her servant

"Love you to Rin. Night." Lena remarked with her trade mark smirk, before disappearing up the stairs. Once gone it was silent between her and her servant, too silent

"Archer…" Rin quietly said, as she could feel Archer wrapped her arms around her a bit; much to the girls slight irritation as she knew it was a way to mock Rin like a child

"Yes little master, hm?" Archer teased as she could sense Rin's irritation, though also her nervousness so she was doing what she could to ease Rin. Even though she did find enjoyment in teasing her usually calm master in the process as well

"… What haven't you been telling me?" Rin asked quietly, sternly yet a bit hurt too since even if she did have some belief that servant and master relationships should be set very quickly after summoning. She also saw them as people still, people she wanted to show they could trust her with their secrets and that she could trust as well. Archer though her servant had lost some trust from her after the few stunts she pulled so far, though it kind of hurt her that Archer had kept her skills a secret when she'd asked during the first night of their summoning. Looking back Rin could see the oddly colored eyes of her servant "Well?"

"Is that an order master that I have to obey or are you just curious?" Archer asked back sternly a bit herself if not a bit wary "Will you use a command seal on me finally to do so or will you see if you can trust me. That's why you're asking right. Because you don't trust me all that much correct?"

"It… not fully… yes I'll admit not fully. A little less now after what you did to Hana. Who I'm still holding you to find a way to completely one day apologize to her." Rin explained as she was dead serious on that claim, Archer just rolled her eyes a bit but knew she would have to comply "But still. Archer how can you expect me to trust you fully or at all if you won't tell me even your abilities. Like I had asked when I first summoned you or was the whole I don't remember thing a lie too. Well what is it Archer. I need answer now…please."

"…." Archer didn't say at first, as she stared at Rin who's eyes truly did tell of a girl who just wanted to trust her but was very wary of her now. So sighing for a moment, she let go of Rin before leaping over and onto the couch next to her. Looking at Rin again, then sighing yet again "Fine… I can't say much. All I can honestly tell you is that I do have more memories then I'd originally told you I did. Much more…I…I just have some issues with trust is all. It's not you either, just life when I was alive didn't give me such a great time with developing trust in other. So there's that, but forgive me if I don't tell you much more after this. I just…need to get use to trust in someone for once. Okay?"

"Sure." Rin exclaimed as she could sense Archer was being honest, though if what Archer said was correct. Rin couldn't blame Archer much for the lack of trust in her, even if she'd been the one to summon the woman "What about your skills tonight. I mean what kind of Archer used a sword, seems kind of odd."

"Oh that. Hehe. I can see what you mean, to be honest I do have something for ranged attacks. BUT… I like using swords more. Hell I can even throw my sword quiet far if called for it. Which is probably why I was considered for the Archer class." Archer explained, smirking a bit in pride from that fact alone

"I see. So you were so good at throwing your sword is the reason why you were most likey considered to be in the Archer class. You what that know makes sense in a way." Rin remarked as she laughed a little at the idea of that being the reason for becoming one of the Archer classes. But she still wanted a few more answers "Your sword it's a noble phantasm then?"

"Hm indeed it is. My most treasured blade really, forged by my own hands after the three months I took crafting it. Day in and day out, I never ceased for those three day's to make the blade perfect in every way." Arched exclaimed as she summoned the sword into her hands. Rin eyeing the hybrid sword, seeing that indeed everything about sword screamed 'beloved and cherished' "It has no name, but then again what name could ever compliment this blade. This master piece…none."

"I can see why." Rin simply quipped, as she yawned a little "Sheesh. What a day it's been today, I guess I should get to be though. Archer are you going to be down here for a bit?"

"Yeah. I'll be in your room in a few, besides I find the extra mattress you gave me quiet comforting." Archer answered smirking as she patted Rin's head one more time for the night "Now go to bed little master and don't forget to call your baby sister Illya to sleep with if you gets scared of the bed bugs!"

"UGH… whatever just get to bed soon jerk." Rin groaned as she was irritated once more, quickly huffing as she kicked Archers leg slightly hard before stomping up the stairs. Though Archer could only chuckle, finding her masters reaction so fun. Then it got quiet as she looked around in the home, feeling how comfy this place felt

"Yes, sleep well master. For tomorrow…" Archer whispered, looking up at the celling before laughing just a little. Though if anyone had heard. The laugh itself sounded a bit demented if not also a bit… broken too "Tomorrow…"

.

"The pain begins…"

-With Genji and Caster-

"Start talking Genji." Caster sternly asked, in her civilian clothing as she crossed her arms. Though the pout she was doing made her look way cuter then she had intended, at least that's what Genji thought as he did his best to not blush at how cute he'd been finding Caster becoming every second they were together

"A-About what exactly Caster?" Genji asked, as even though he found Casters pout cuter. He rightfully knew that this woman was not one to anger, she seemed scary when she was upset and he didn't want to know what would happen if her really ticked her off "I-I mean like what exactly do you want me to explain first hehe…yep."

"Hm." Caster pouted a bit more, as she was quiet upset with Genji. But it was more on a caring side as much as she felt weird admitting it so, then again he was a hard one to like which only got her a bit more frustrated at how easily it was getting for her to let her guard around this young man. Even if he was her master, she'd usually take much longer before warming up to anyone ever. Still she knew she couldn't dwell on that, she need answers now "Well I have a few, but the most important one is your relationship between you and t-that thing!"

"Thing?" Genji asked confused at what in the world she was talking

"Yes the metal man with the two rouges we meet on our side." Caster explained, calming down a bit as best as she could

"You mean master Zenyatta?" Genji asked again, making sure that what the so called 'Thing' she was referring to was

"Yes that metal man, what your relationship with the abomination?" Caster asked once again, though she didn't realize the sudden tension Genji was starting to feel

"Abomination?" Genji asked, though his tone more tense and in a slight hush

"Yes, the abomination of life. What's your relationship with it, I need to know so we can make sure that thing-" Caster explained, though she hadn't realized how far of a line she crossed when it came to Genji and Zenyatta. Well she got the answer, when she suddenly felt herself be pushed down with two hard grips on her shoulders then seeing Genji over her "What are you-"

Caster stopped a moment later, about to scream and give her master a good few smacks. Only when she saw the look on Genji did her anger turn into sudden rare fear. She looked into the sweet gently eyes of Genji, now narrowed and full of a rage she'd never seen in man and it scared her. Scared her deeply. She felt like a scared lamb looking at a bloodthirsty wolf. It didn't help what he did next.

" . CALL. MASTER ZENYATTA A THING AGAIN GOT IT!" Genji ordered in a tone, that Caster knew if she said no; he'd beat her senseless or at least that's how she felt as she didn't notice the tears of sudden fear slowly start to flow out of her eyes along with her body shaking from the fear too

Though thankfully, before anything worse could happen. Genji got a grip of himself and realized what he'd done. He quickly backed off and Caster could see his face in horror at the realization of what he'd done and what he may have done. Quickly turning his back to her as the she slowly sat back up. Caster knew she should have been furious with him, screamed at him and make sure he'd be making it up to her the rest of this war. BUT…she couldn't find in herself to do it for some reason.

For the first very long time since she was little. She felt a deep concern for Genji, maybe it was her getting soft. But in all honesty, she knew why. It was the face he'd made when he'd realized what he'd done just moments ago. Caster never had seen a look like that on the faces of the men she knew back when she had been alive. The face of utter regret and that's what made Caster know quickly. Genji felt horrible about it, which only made Caster feel more frustrated on why this young man was making her feel so guilty and concerned so easily. But still, she needed to say or do something; that's what she concluded in her confused mind.

"Genji…" Caster said, as she saw Genji lower his head more in shame. She made a shuttering sigh as she moved a bit closer to "Genji it's…it's okay. I… I'm not or scared I promise. I just…looked at me please."

"…." Genji didn't say, as he did look back at her in the eyes even if she could see he was filled with a deep regret "You…aren't?"

"No… I mean I was shocked yeah but… why did get so mad?" Caster asked, curious but wanting to actually fix this tension now "Please tell me."

"…Caster can I ask, you can feel warm, smell, taste even if your bodies made of prana right?" Genji asked back out of the blue, though Caster was a bit surprised at the sudden question

"Yes. Why are you asking?" Caster quipped as she was confused on what Genji was getting at

"I see. Caster I need to turn around and don't until I tell you too okay?" Genji requested, as Caster raised an eyebrow making Genji sigh some more "Please."

"…Okay." Caster simply answered, doing so as she wondered what her master was getting at. Though she heard a bit of noises, she waited and waited

"Alright, you can turn around now." Genji exclaimed, as Caster did so. But she quickly regretted doing so when she looked upon the horror that was her masters body

She saw from just merely gazing, his legs and arms were both gone. Replaced with the metal his lower jaw was. His chest and lower half were still flesh as he was only in his undergarments. Though Caster also saw a good few scares on his chest, but to be honest too. His stomach was mainly gone now that she took a second look. As it was metal too, only his upper chest was there connected to the metal piece that connect to what was also left of his lower half. His neck was covered in a bit of metal as well. All in all, aside from his face, upper chest and lower half. Caster could see her master could barely be considered a full human. Genji took notice of Casters looked and sighed a bit, having not wanted to show her such a thing if only for her to not have possible nightmares.

"Yeah I know. Not pretty right?" Genji joked a little, though Caster didn't seem to laugh as he sat back up "Sorry."

"No its fine just… shocking." Caster explained, having calmed down a little bit more from the initial shock of what she was seeing. Truly to her, the world as of this era was one of amazing achievements and utter horror all at once

"Don't blame ya on that, still I brought up you and well showed you this because it has a lot to do with Master Zenyatta." Genji explained with a sigh "You can tell I wasn't like this, no I was just a normal person like anyone else. Part of…let's just say a powerful if not evil family. I was the youngest of two sons, my older brother was to be the heir. Still, let's just say that things became tense a food few years later. My brother… again let's just say things happened and because of it I ended up like this. To be honest it's only been three years since my body was fixed. By who I can't remember for some reason… but that's my story in short."

"I… I see." Caster simply stated, though she couldn't find anything else to say as she could only find his story sad. Though she moved her hand close to his chest "C-Can I feel please?"

"S-Sure…" Genji answered, but was doing his best to keep his heart rate down and not blush at the realization this rather beautiful woman was in a way going to feel him up a bit

Caster did just that too, Feeling every bit of flesh on his chest and his heart beat. Smiling as she was glad that he truly was still a human despite how he looked. Then she moved her hands over on his metallic bits. Mainly his arms, neck and jaw. Feeling again sadden by the cold feeling. Though she also realized if he had been this for only three years and he was sixteen just this year. He must have been only the age of thirteen. That only bothered her more, the thought of someone so young experiencing this… it was heartbreaking indeed.

"How… how did you stay so sane after this?" Caster asked once more, in a hushed tone as she truly did want to know; the slightly bitter laugh from Genji made her feel a bit uneasy

"To be honest I almost didn't." Genji explained, chuckling just a bit more as he held hand up for Caster to see "When I first awoke, seeing this. I was disgusted and it became a nightmare. I realized very quickly that I couldn't smell, taste or feel. You have any idea how that must be?"

"No, I can't say I have." Caster replied simply, as she found Genji's reason for his rather unique body a horror story "Then how did you…"

"Well it was all thanks to Master Zenyatta." Genji answered, a small smile on his face as he kept on before Caster could say anymore "Like I said, I was part of a powerful family. But because of that I was… spoiled and had one nasty attitude believe it or not. Which is why I probably had run off after waking up, hoping I could just run back the family and I could be fixed with their wealth. But… I realized that wouldn't be possible after some of my then current memories came back. Anyways I began to just travel, covering myself in only a simple dirty robe to hid my new self. All the while cursing the world for my woes. Then after a while I just decided to give up. I was ready to die, but that's when they found me… he found me. Master Zenyatta. Thanks to him and the monks, who took me in along with teaching me. I'm the man you see now, the guy who just is happy to be alive. So yeah that's why I know Master Zenyatta well. Most of the sad details and such."

"…" Caster didn't say anything, just staring at Genji who worried he may have brough the mood down more then he'd even wanted too

"Never mind… let's just get some rest. School still going on tomorrow so need to get as much sleep we can before that. Night Caster." Genji kindly suggested, as he gave her one more kind nod before laying on his side of the bed and dimming out the lights enough so Caster could still see well enough

It was silent though, very silent as Caster just sat on her knees on the large bed in their small home. Staring at the boy who was her master, the mutilated boy. She couldn't help but gently place her hand on his left arm. Feeling the coldness of it before touching the flesh that connected his chest and left arm. Before retracting back. She couldn't help but feel a gnawing guilt in her stomach. A full brunt of what others would call guilt. Pure, painful guilt. So without saying more she just laid on the bed to sleep if only to help her mind from some ease. Taking one last glance at the young kind hearted man, who was her master. Before closing her eyes.

.

"Goodnight master, sleep peacefully for I've decided… I'll be by your side until the end willingly."

-With Lucio and Lancer-

"You really should get some rest dude, you seem real tense." Lucio calmly suggested, as he sat in his room with Lancer inside too. But as he sat in his desk chair, Lancer sat on his bed seeming restless as the man seemed to be pondering "Seriously, what's wrong dude?"

"Eh… just that Ranger guy and the other two I guess." Lancer explained, though noticed his master raise an eyebrow at that as a silent 'Go on' which the servant took up on "Like that Zenyatta thing. He ain't flesh and stuff, seems just…really creepy."

"I can guess that for someone who lived eon's back. But no need to be scared of him, actually from what I read he's quieted a well-known monk." Lucio answered as he handed Lancer a magazine, which once taken was observed by the servant if not sloppy since Lancer had never used a magazine till now

"Huh…well would you look at that. Seems like the world's changed even more then I thought, calls him an Omnic. Huh odd." Lancer stated, as he read over the magazine a bit more before setting it down "Anyways I'll ask more on that later, the other few things I'm curious about is that Lincoln guy, seems way to friendly if you ask me and also who the hell wears a hat like he did ya know?"

"Heh, I won't blame you on that one. His hat is a bit silly I'll admit. But then again the man really is a well know icon in America, I lived in a place called Washington DC actually before we moved her just a week ago. Had a memorial to him and all that. Was really cool." Lucio stated as Lancer seem quite surprised by that

"Guess I'll take your word for it then, you've been straight with me so far so seems fair." Lancer exclaimed, a bit kinder for once

"Thanks man. But what else seemed to be bothering ya, like look I know you probably don't share emotions much. Seem like that sort of dude no offense." Lucio explained, as Lancer gave him a nod that said easily that 'None taken' to him "But for real, what else?"

"If you want to know kid, it's that Ranger guy. Like everything about him from his tactics and weaponry." Lancer exclaimed as so far he found Ranger the opposite of him in every way, from his tactics and weapons. Ranger was the sort of man Lancer hated when it battle, a coward in other words and his own opinion "I mean look I know bow's and arrow can help. No doubt on that, but even out bowmen had knife at least. That guy seems like all he does is hide and cower with whatever that hunk of metal his weapon is. A big old coward is what I'm saying about the guy."

"Hm… I guess I can kind of see where you're coming from, but don't you think you're judging him a bit too much?" Lucio asked as he could in a way see what Lancer was getting at, he wasn't a big fan of guns either. Sure he understood the appeal when in a shoot range, but they also had caused many problems in the 20th century so far. Still he did find Lancers assessment of Ranger a bit harsh if anything

"Maybe. But till I see it that's all I'm gonna think of the guy. Again don't get me wrong yeah he and those other two came in a saved us after the youngest waif there summoned Berserker. But again that's just me." Lancer answered as he'd give Ranger the respect he deserved f he proved later on he deserved respect at all. But feeling like this conversation was already getting tense enough, he decided to change the subject to anything honestly "Aside from that, we should get you ready for tomorrow after school."

"Huh, for what?" Lucio asked curiously

"Training, since to be honest when it comes to you and your little new friends. Me and the servants had a little private chat while we were walking to the Church tonight." Lancer answered smirking "We all agreed, that you kids could use a little toughening up. Well most of us, took Caster a bit more convincing, but still get ready cause tomorrow you're all getting the training of your life."

"W-Wait are you serious?" Lucio asked back, as he felt a bit nervous now. Rightfully so, as even though he was a health nut and liked to exercise here and there. He could already tell the training he and the other servants had in mind, was much…much more hardcore then that. The feral smirk that his servant displayed seconds later didn't help with his worry for tomorrow

"Yep and don't even think about skipping. Trust me, you won't be able too since we'll drag you by your ankles if we have to." Lancer remarked as he stood up and ruffled Lucio's head "Well Imma be outside for a bit, enjoy the nice cool air. Night."

"Yeah…night…" Lucio replied, as Lancer vanished once again, Lucio moving over to his bed with a thousand yard stare of slight horror. Before flopping into the bed and doing the only thing he could realizing the hell of training to begin tomorrow. Screaming into his pillow "MMMMMFFFFFFFFFFF!"

As Lucio screamed a bit, into his pillow. He didn't realize that the training would come in handy for the future. Still didn't mean it wouldn't be painful. Like really, really painful…

-With Brigette and Assassin-

"So you okay with your bed?" Brigette asked, as she was in her pajama's now. Sitting on her bed as Assassin still in his servant garbs was sitting upon a blow up bed

"It's fine, this is much more comfortable then any bed I've remember sleeping in back in my old life." Assassin explained, smiling at the kindness his master had showed him so far "Though I really don't require sleep, so the bed wasn't necessary. But I appreciate it none the less Brigette."

"I know. But you've done a lot for me these past two days. It was the least I can do for that… honest." Brigette exclaimed as she gave him a small smile "I mean… if you hadn't show up when you did on the first day. Me and Lucio would be…you know."

"I do." Assassin simply replied, as it got silent suddenly. But wanting to help make his more than kind master feel better, he thought he'd bring up some other subject; a happier one at least "So… how are you liking your new friends?"

"Oh they're great, they're so nice and funny too!" Brigette immediately answered, in a much chipper tone. Seeming to do a complete shift in her mood "I mean some of them act a bit colder like Rin and others are a bit more mischievous like Olivia. But again I like them all a lot already hehe!"

"Well that's good to hear then. We will have to be fighting alongside one another for quite a while so we'll have to get along…even if some of the servants I'm not so keen on." Assassin stated, though he meant Caster somewhat though hadn't gotten to know the woman

Alongside her. Lancer was alright at the moment. Saber and Rider were still on the fence with him. Berserker was just well there for him, maybe he'd get to know the giant better somehow. No, it was Archer who was making him feel off. The woman was…something. Both mentally and psychically. She looked like she could be broken in half like a twig, yet showed a sizable amount of strength also. Then her mindset reminded of a very mischievous child, yet she showed her more serious moments too. Brigette seemed to get a good idea on who he was speaking of.

"You mean Archer…she's um…nice." Brigette answered, though seemed much more hesitant on saying so "I guess…"

"Brigette, you don't need to lie to me. I won't speak a word outside this room, that I promise. So be as honest as you want." Assassin explained, as Brigette appreciated Assassins words

"Thank you then. So to be honest, I'm kind of scared of Archer. Like she makes me feel uneasy." Brigette explained as she really was off around the woman called Archer, didn't help when she watched in horror at seeing one of her new friend's Hana begin attacked by the woman before being arrested "I know we're supposed to work together and trust is part of that. But… Assassin. I…I need to promise me something."

"Anything you want my master." Assassin teased a little, doing a quick bow to lighten the mood a little more; if only just by that

"Silly, I told you to call me Brigette." Brigette teased back, happy to have a kind hearted servant like Assassin. Before she sighed, getting back to asking her request "Anyways. Assassin, maybe one day I can trust Archer fully, maybe not. But, if she ever looks like she's going to kill any of us, even her own Master Rin. Like really looks like she's going to actually do it. I… I want you to make sure she doesn't do so…maybe for good if you have too."

"Brigette, you do understand what you're asking me to do correct?" Assassin asked calmly as ever, though making sure his tone showed the seriousness of what she was requesting

"I do and I'm sorry, but I like these friends of mine already. Like a lot… so I just want to keep them safe. Again I'm so sorry to ask you something like this but… never mind." Brigette explained, though stopped herself as she knew what she was asking Assassin to do if Archer turned on all of them… maybe even Rin if she followed behind Archer as much as she hated that though of kill one of new friends

"…" Assassin didn't say, as he could tell this was very upsetting for her to ask of him. But in all honestly her appreciated that she asked him instead of ordering him. He wasn't a saint, but he wasn't a man who took pleasure in needless killing if it could be avoided. So he smiled simply as Brigette seemed confused "Don't fret Brigette, I'll do as you ask. Besides if I can be honest back with you. Archer also makes me feel uneasy. A rare thing to happen, but that just mean's she is one to be watched. Besides I'll admit I like them all quiet we'll too. Even if again some of them more than others."

"Really, oh thank you then. I was super worried you'd be offended of something. Still seriously thank you!" Brigette joyfully cheered as Assassin laughed a little, in a good manner as he found his masters usual chipper mood very welcoming

"Like I said it's of no issues. Still since that's done and over with being talk on. I must ask, but can you show me more on that magic block you call a Cell phone?" Assassin asked, as he'd practiced a little saying the foreign word while walking to the church earlier

"Sure!" Brigette happily answered, moving next to Assassin on the blow up bed and pulled her cell phone out to show the old spirit

With that at least for these two, the night was one of relaxation and bonding as allies. For they would need that, if to survive the trials ahead…

-With Olivia and Medusa-

"Okay…okay and…. were good." Olivia whispered, as she and Medusa had to sneak back into her room. Being as quiet as possible since her dad still had his unnatural sharp hearing even at his age, while her mother was just a light sleeper

Once inside the room, Olivia let out a sigh of relief as she fell onto her bed. Kicking her shoes off already and enjoying in the comfort of her bed. Turing around on her back side, she looked seeing Medusa sitting on the right side of her bed calm like usual.

"Have to say I'm a little jealous you can be so calm." Olivia quipped, smirking as she sat back up "But that's a charming quality if you ask me."

"Hm, thank you Olivia." Medusa replied back, smiling at the kind compliment before taking her own boots off or well demetallizing them "Though are you okay. Tonight must have been…"

"I'm fine honest." Olivia replied. Though internally she wasn't okay, not one bit as she was doing what she could to get over the feeling of having almost died. Like actually almost died if Hana hadn't come in, alongside the three new comers and Illya's Berserker. Though Medusa could tell easily, Olivia was not fine at all

"Olivia. I know we've only be together for two or well three day's now. But you don't have to lie to me. You can be honest." Medusa replied back, taking off her eye fold now as well as Olivia gazed into the pretty unique eyes of hers "Right?"

"… Right. Thanks Medusa." Olivia quipped, feeling even better now then she had moments ago. Before taking her socks off glad to be able to rest her feet in the cool air of her room. But she held her knees close as she sighed "If you want to be honest. I'm just… just a bit shaken up still. I mean I've been in a fight here or there. Some close to being almost killed. But not like this… this was… I don't know just scary for once."

"That's understandable. You should have seen me when I took my first life. I was shaken up quite a bit, thankfully my sisters were able to help me through it. Even if they could be a bit mean at times, I knew they did it all out of love. That and a feeling of entitlement being the big sisters." Medusa remarked, as she loved her sisters even now despite many of the meaner moments they had with her

"Hehe, that must have been one fun childhood." Olivia joked back, as she and Medusa laughed some more for a few moments only "Anyways. I'll be fine, I just want to thank you again. For real… you really did a good job out there."

"Thank you yet again then Olivia. But truth be told the one I and Saber fought was… a troublesome man. A coward too." Medusa exclaimed as she found the man from his mannerisms and even weapons cowardly along with vulgar

"Cursed One right. I heard him say it during your fight at one point." Olivia explained, as she remembered the more english looking man "But was he really that bad?"

"Yes. He was vulgar and lack any sort of decency. That and the weapon he used… a GUN. It was the oddest and most cowardly weapon I've ever seen." Medusa exclaimed as she huffed, mainly because she was almost grazed a few times in her fight with the man

"Well guess that tell me what era he must have been born in. What was it made of though?" Olivia asked, as she was quiet the gun nut thanks to her dad

"Wood and metal, it just shot one whatever it shot out. Why?" Medusa explained, as she was quiet confused on why her master was asking her such questions

"Simple. I can tell he must be from the very early days of gunsmithing." Olivia answered as she got off her bed, before going under it and pulling out a wooden box. Sitting back onto her bed next to Medusa. She smirked, opening it as she pulled out what looked like to the Rider heroic spirit a much more advanced version of cursed one's gun. Olivia only could smirk some more as she watched Medusa eye the weapon "Pretty cool eh. It's my own hand made machine pistol. I know that probably doesn't sound like anything to you. But let me explain. You see first off, guns shot out small piece of metal called bullets."

"Bul-lets?" Medusa lipped as the work felt odd when she said it "What are those?"

"These hun." Olivia answered, pulling out from the wooden box a small metal 9mm bullet. Handing it to Medusa who took it, eying the odd piece of metal "Anyways. That's a bullet, I can get into the workings later on. But simply this gun of mine fires that out of it. That's how a gun works."

"I'll admit that is… something. But they don't seem like much still." Medusa quipped, which only got Olivia to smirk some more

"True, true. It would be kind of a large useless hunk if I could only shoot one bullet at a time. BUT… that's not the case." Olivia quipped, amused as she pulled out the magazine already loaded as she looked seeing Medusa's eye get a bit wider "Hehe, yeah shocking right. This baby can shoot twenty rounds per second, that along the magazine being able to hold sixty rounds and a fast reload. This gun of mine is quite the hitter. Cool huh?"

"I'll admit it sure is…would you mind if I…" Medusa asked, a little shyly as Olivia couldn't help but find her servants reactions so far cute in an innocent way

"Sure, just make sure-" Olivia began to say, handing Medusa the gun. But before she could finish off what she was. Medusa aiming the gun up at the celling as she inspected it…pulled the trigger

Seconds later a hail of at least forty bullets shot out hitting the ceiling, as Olivia jumped to the ground behind her bed and Medusa let go of the gun doing the same as it fell on the bed. Silence filled the air later as Medusa and Olivia looked over the bed at the gun.

"S-Sorry…" Medusa apologized as she found this gun, a bit scary now considering what she just witnessed

"No problem…I ah, should have told you not to pull the trigger before I handed it to you or maybe had taken the magazine out. Yep…" Olivia responded back, as she kind of felt like an idiot now for not doing either of those considering how much her dad taught her on gun safety

It only got worse when her mom and dad ran in, her dad kicking in the door as he had a baseball bat. While her mom looked frantic. Both in their pajamas as well.

"Olivia what happened!?" Lara asked, having her worries come even worse that someone else was trying to kill her daughter. Only to see it wasn't that, as she and her husband came in seeing Olivia and her guest Rider hiding behind her bed. Along with seeing there was gun on the bed, one that she even knew thanks to what her husband taught her; was not a normal distributed gun

"Ah….." Olivia tried to say, as she was now in a slight panic mode "I can explain…hehe."

Olivia smiled sheepishly, alongside Medusa as her parents raised an eyebrow with a look saying she was indeed in a lot of trouble. Olivia could only hope, she and Medusa could explain the best they can. If only to lessen how long she'd be grounded for….

-With Illya and Berserker-

She slept peacefully. Like always inside her large bed, one where Rin said she didn't need even though Rin would sometimes come in to check on her during the night. Even now, along with sleeping with her if she was seeming to having a nightmare. Oh yes, despite how they acted with each other at times, it was all just normal sibling stuff. In all honestly even though they weren't blood related. She loved her big sister Rin so much, Rin in return loved her just as much. Both sisters always knowing they would have each other's back. The others too Illya loved, even her new friends she met today. She loved them all. But now she had someone new to love as well, her servant Berserker.

True she knew nothing of him yet, only that he was a hulking beast of a man and a warrior no doubt. To be honest she hadn't ever thought she'd do that super cool servant summoning. But she had to, to keep her family and friend's safe then. She was glad she kept that piece of bone she found in a cave one day. During a field trip a year ago, she thought it looked pretty oddly and so she kept it. Good thing she did, for Berserker had helped calm things down with his presence alone.

Though now as she slept, she couldn't help but wonder on the dream she was having. A dream not of her usual kind for a little girl her age. No these were someone else's…

.

.

.

She could see a dirt path, clear blue skies and felt the cold air against her skin.

.

.

.

She walked and walked, taller than she ever thought she could be. Feeling the weight of her very body with each step. Then it happened.

.

.

.

Bandits came out from nowhere. At least fifty of them, weapons out and ready. All to kill her. But Illya could feel a sense of glee. Like she was waiting for this to happen. Her right arm moving on its own. She pulled out a large familiar bone weapon. Before swinging it at the first bandit. Cutting him in half clean as blood squirted out like a fountain.

.

.

.

Again and again she repeated this action. No hesitation with each swipe and no sense of mercy. Every bandit falling by her blade before they could realize this had been a losing battle from the start. After all was done, Illya saw she was covered in their blood. But she felt calm, nothing else. Then she heard a few pairs of footsteps come up from behind. Looking seeing the images of the people before her start to form.

-"You could have held some restrain H-" One of the figures, a woman began to say only that was all Illya heard before it all went white

.

.

.

"Ah!" Illya screamed a little, as she bolted up in her bed. Taking in a few deep breaths seeing it was five thirty in the morning now. Once she calmed down though, she could feel him in there with her. Looking to her right and up, she cleared her throat "Berserker."

Without a moment later, Berserker appeared before the petite master. His hulking size unnerving enough, if not his red glowing eyes making it worse. But for Illya, she didn't feel scared. No she felt safe, safe that she had her own guardian looking over her when the others couldn't. Moving out from under her sheets and onto her knees. She titled her head as she gazed upon her servant.

"You know, you should rest too. It's bad for your health if you don't. Big sister said so." Illya quipped, as Berserker for the first time did something new. He raised an eyebrow at the statement. Like his mad enhancement had for a moment falter at the little masters words, which only got Illya to giggle a bit "Silly, I know you're supposed to be watching me. But get some rest to okay mister."

Berserker just straighten his head back, Illya took that as a yes for the slumbering as she yawned again.

"Good… school starts in few hours so… I'm going to sleep a little more. Nighty Berserker." Illya simply and sweetly quipped, before laying down and quickly falling asleep yet again

Berserker himself, just started at his master. He found her odd already or at least what he could with what wasn't being effected by the madness enhancement. Though he did one more thing no one could ever think a being of his class could. He for just a split moment smiled, before vanishing into thin air once more.

Leaving the slumbering little princess Illya, to have a nice rest through the night. Like all youths should at her age…

-With Hana and Saber-

Inside Hana's room. She and Saber were sitting in two seats. One the seat usually sat in when she was on her computer and the second an older chair she kept in her room just in case she had friends over. Still it had been an hour since they came back. Thankful that everyone in their home were heavy sleepers. Still as the adults slumbered, Hana had been showing Saber info on gun's, Britain's history and even basic history of her era along with well some of the wars too including the advancements of weaponry including guns. To say the least…she wasn't quiet taking it well.

"How far have we fallen…" Saber said in a hushed horrified tone, she was not ready at all to learn on everything Hana had showed her

From images, article's and even some videos. All of that though impressed Saber at how far humanity had come when it came to information sharing. But that impressiveness was overshadowed by the horrors humanity had fallen into in the so called modern era of which Hana lived in. They were only at the early 2000's still, along with the fact the info Hana was showing her was considered the basics. Saber shuttered at how deep the more in depth information was.

"Come on Saber, it…it's not that bad." Hana carefully tried to say, as she was kind of worried she'd showed too much to Saber in one night; then again it had only been two days and she'd never think that she'd be teaching a knight for medieval times history. Now that she thought on it more, that was a sentence that defied logic in everyway

"Hana, you just showed me a good chunk on human cruelty and misery. The wars I mean my dear…I… why so many needless wars. I mean I fought them, but we had too. These wars in your era were just way more horrific!" Saber explained, as her mind was in a jumble enough with all the information it was trying to process "Let's not even get into the sections on guns. What sick monster would ever think of making such a device. It makes even the most foolish person a force to be reckoned with. Where's the hard work, the years of learning, the honor?"

"O-Okay look. I'm sorry I didn't mean to make you feel so down honest." Hana quickly answered, as she felt very bad about this situation. Before deciding to try and help her friend's mood "Saber, you remember that one section of history with America. The slavery I mean?"

"How could I not, not just America but that the world even during the more so called civilized time still practices slavery was disheartening. Why do ask?" Saber answered as that was a very uneasy issue for her to read up the basics on. Sure she'd heard and seen practices of slavery in her time. But she always did what she could to make sure those operations were taken down quickly

"Because this last subject I'm going to show you on will help your mood I promise." Hana explained as she typed in something on her computer. Saber looking down at the ground still trying to let all this new info sink in as quickly as possible "There we go. Here take a look and this time I promise you, you'll feel much better after reading this."

"If you say so…" Saber muttered, though she was kind of doubting that as she sat back up. But was quiet surprised as she read what Hana had typed in. Eyeing the title of the first article link she saw "Abraham Lincoln, 16th president of the United States of America during the civil war. Hana, this is…"

"Yep, the man we meet tonight. The simple lawyer who lead America through one of its greatest moral trials. The civil war and the freedom of slaves on the run, in the north, south and those who were owned back then. I always found him quiet a good person as you'll see." Hana explained as she clicked on the first link that Saber read out, the page loading up a few seconds later as quiet a hefty portion of information came up "Read up okay, I need to go to the bathroom very quickly."

Saber just nodded as Hana made her way out to the bathroom. It didn't take too long, though Hana also wanted to change into her pajamas which she took a set into the bathroom. After brushing her teeth too, she finally came back into her room. Seeing Saber instead of looking down like she had been, seeming rather enthralled with whatever she was reading. Hana moving behind Saber quietly took a look. See that Saber was now reading upon some of the quotes Liberator or Lincoln had spoken during his time as president so long ago.

"Four score and seven years ago. Our fathers brought forth on this continent. A new nation, conceived in Liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal." Saber read, as Hana watched seeing Saber seemed to be smiling much more now as she read the old speech

Though as Hana listened, she couldn't help but feel a need to just sit down and listen. An aura of what she could only call pure authority, pure respectable authority. She smiled as she sat on her bed gently, watching Saber keep on reading.

"Now we are engaged in a great civil war. Testing whether that nation or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battlefield of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field. As a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this." Saber kept on reading, as she seemed to be smiling more than Hana had seen her do so far

Hana had to admit, Saber looked so adorable when she smiled. Like a child in a candy shop or better yet herself in a game shop. She wondered how her life must have been back then, being a woman knight. Then again, maybe no one had known. Hana decided when it was a good time to ask Saber more on her past. Still she just listened more to Saber's reading.

"But, in a larger sense, we cannot dedicate. We cannot consecrate. We cannot hallow this ground. The brave men. Living and dead, who struggled here have consecrated it. Far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here. But it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us. That from these honored dead, we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion. That we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain. That this nation under God. Shall have a new birth of freedom and that government of the people, by the people, for the people; shall not perish from the earth." Saber finished off reading, feeling much better after reading such inspirational words from a man she only met this night

"A nice speech huh?" Hana asked, as Saber almost flinched; but didn't as she looked back seeing Hana in her sleep wear

"Indeed it is. I will be honest, I wasn't so keen on having Liberator as an ally. But after reading a bit on his life so far and his polices. Including this famous speech of his. I'm feeling much more at ease." Saber explained happily

"Good to hear Saber. I'm sorry again if I may have showed more of the negative side of what I showed you. But they're a plenty of positives as well." Hana exclaimed, feeling overjoyed that Saber was seeming much better now

"Well I can't wait to see more of it then." Saber replied back, though she was still curious on something "Hana, can I ask. But where we're you keeping that so called M.E.K.A suit of yours hidden?

"Oh that well…" Hana was about to explain, but stopped when she realized a better idea "Actually let me show you okay and it won't take long super promise!"

"Hana we really shouldn't. It's late enough as it is." Saber tried to argue calmly as it really was late at night and she knew Hana had school still

"Please Saber, please, please!" Hana pleaded in a manner that again, made Saber stop for a moment when she swore she saw another woman just like Hana yet again. It was getting on her nerves a bit as why this was happening, though she also knew already she couldn't say no to Hana when she was asking so sweetly

"Alright fine. But let's keep quiet and also mind if I do a quick change in your room. I'd like to feel a bit more comfortable before we venture to where you're leading me." Saber quipped, as Hana nodded already giddy at showing Saber one of her best kept secrets

-Backyard of Hana's home- Ten minutes later-

It took ten full minuets to get outside. Mainly due for both Hana and Saber not wanting to risk waking up anyone in the house. Even if they were heavy sleepers. They just didn't want to take the chance at making things awkward or odd.

Still as they finally were outside, luckily with the cold breeze more of a mix of warm and cold at once. Saber couldn't help but feel a bit shyer now being outside in this get up, then again this was only her second time in it and she still felt iffy wearing this sleep wear. But she was more curious then wary, so she just stood outside with Hana as the moon above still shined as bright as ever.

"So Hana, what are you going to show me?" Saber asked calmly, as she really was wondering now what this may have to do with the origins of Hana's odd piece of battle gear

"Watch and learn Saber." Hana answered, smirking and looking giddy as she can be before looking down near a patch of grass next to their shed. Saber following the same, but confused on why. But that was when Hana pressed a button her thumb against the watch for a few moments as some sort of light went up and down under it from Saber's perspective; seconds later though the patch of grass moved. Them before Saber could ask at all, she got her answer as a set of stairways appeared leading down somewhere shrouded in darkness

"Hana?" Saber asked, wanting to make sure this was supposed to be happening. The still giddy look on her masters face was evident enough

"Well come on!" Hana cheered as she quickly began her way down the stairs, Saber following a bit hesitantly seconds later down the unknown set of stairs

It didn't take too long for the pair to make it all the way down as once Hana and Saber a second later plated their feet on the ground. What was below lite up like the sun itself was inside the room. Saber's eyes were blinded for a moment. Only to slowly readjust before seeing quiet the sight. A whole other room below the backyard of Hana's home.

Well room was a bit too broad of a description, Saber it was more like a large home base with a few different doors leading to different rooms. A tv inside this area of the base surrounded by tables and chairs as well. Even a kitchen was inside this room, though what got Saber's attentions was that somehow Hana's M.E.K.A was back here, being fixed by a bunch of small metal arms near a few good amount of screen that looked like Hana's computer since that was her only reference there. With on large screen in the middle. Saber looked back at Hana, who's smile would tear her face off if she made it anymore wider.

"So Saber…" Hana said pausing for a moment before she moved in front of her servant "Tada, my very own little home base!"

"Impressive. But how?" Saber asked as she really did not believe Hana could have done this herself

"Oh actually that's still a bit of a mystery to me. You see a month ago I was cleaning up the back yard. Before I accidently hit a rather hallow sounding rock that I never saw before. I lifted it up and presto I found my watch. Seconds later it like seconds my thumb print after I tried wiping off a leaf stuck to the screen, then again presto I found this place. Super cool right!" Hana explained, as she truly was still trying to figure out who could have owned this base. Though still had barely to no answers at all, then again she had been busier with her M.E.K.A this month then finding answers; so there was that factor "Anyways. I found my little bunny down here, that's my nickname for my M.E.K.A just so you know."

"I get it." Saber quickly replied, looking around some more finding this more impressive by the second; before looking at one of the few doors to her right. Feeling an odd trace of magic, faint but it was there "Hana, how many of these rooms have you explored?"

"None actually. I was busy enough with restoring and training with its V.R program this past month to even start looking in the others rooms. Why?" Hana asked curious on what Saber sudden question

"Because I'm feeling trace amounts of magic inside this room to my right Hana." Saber answered quickly, pointing to the door now

"Wait really?" Hana quipped, as she smiled yet again very widely "Well what are we waiting for let's check it out!"

"And we will, but let me go first and you follow behind okay?" Saber suggested, as Hana grumbled a bit and looked like she was pouting some. Saber narrowing her eyes some more, addressed her master yet again to get her point across "Hana."

"Oh ah…r-right. You lead Saber I'll follow hehe…" Hana stated. Smiling nervously as she was quiet rightfully a bit scared of Saber when she used her much sterner tone already

"Thank you then Hana." Saber replied, as she felt guilty a bit having to be so stern with Hana. She knew the girl was excited, but that could get you killed easily. So she wanted to take the hits if they were attacked, she could take them. Looking back at the door as Hana stood behind her. She moved over to it, grabbing the handle before opening it and pushing the door gently as the room was dark

Saber and Hana, both slowly stepped into the room a bit as the darkness was so thick inside. But like before it took a few seconds before the lights turned on. Both Hana and Saber blinding for a short few seconds, before their eye sight was back to normal. Seeing quiet the set up inside the first of a few explorable rooms.

Inside were a about three large steel tables. Holding on top of each a variety of rusted nuts, bolt, chassis, wiring and rusty tools. Heck even some slightly rusted weapons could be seen on one of the three tables, along with pieces of armor. Hana herself just ran around looking at each, Saber behind confused at what most of this was since none of this, aside from maybe a few of the weapons were covered in their basic history debriefing earlier this night. Though as Saber was preoccupied looking around at what was before her. Hana curious at what else was in this room looked near the back. Seeing to her surprised something box-ish shaped covered by a cloth sheet. Though on top of that was something Hana had always wanted to own. Just because she though they were cool and two, now she really may need to for some form of protection.

But what she saw was probably the only very new looking piece of equipment in this room. It was gun, a pistol to be more exacted. It had a black grip, under barrel and well it was all black in color aside from the steel body itself. Though Hana had a feeling she could repaint it a cuter color.

"Hana." Saber suddenly said, as Hana quickly turned around hiding the gun behind her back. Having realized quickly Saber probably would scold her for wanting to keep the gun and take it away. Saber quickly noticed Hana's odd behavior, but decided to see if maybe that was just her reading into it too much

"Ah…y-yes Saber?" Hana asked. Smiling sheepishly as she held her gun behind her back doing her best to not looked suspicious…she was failing rather well at that

"Hana… what do you have behind your back?" Saber asked back, crossing her arms and she raised her eyebrows. Trying to look behind as Hana moved a bit more to the left "Hana I'm going to ask again. What…is…behind…your…back?"

"Well ah…nothing why would think that hehe?" Hana answered once again, doing the best could to keep Saber from finding the gun. Moving slightly left and right, it worked for a bit until she slipped up in the few good seconds. Saber grabbing her right hand since that was the hand holding it and brought it up for her own viewing " Aw man."

"Hana what are doing with this thing?!" Saber angrily scolded, holding it by the handle barely like it was a dead animal or something she'd just found "Hana I don't want you to have one of these things with you. They're trouble enough as it is!"

"Oh come on Saber, I know you don't look at guns fondly already. But what the heck else am I supposed to use for self-defense?" Hana quipped, as she really did want to keep the cool looking gun

"A sword, a knife or any sort of bladed weapon. Anything but a gun, it's not that I just don't trust guns; but I also read that youths. You in fact are not allowed to have them. So I won't have you get in trouble for having a gun on you." Artoria explained, very sternly as she hopped Hana wouldn't be stubborn on this. Sure she already hated guns as a whole, but she really did want to make sure Hana wouldn't get in trouble for having a gun on her in public

"Okay I can see you point. But wouldn't that mean I'd still get in trouble if I had any sort of blade on me too?" Hana exclaimed, bringing up a rather good point as Saber flinched just a little realizing the logic of her own suggestion

"Well I mean…" Saber tried to say, but she was feeling a bit embarrassed now at her own folly

"Besides buying a sword now a days is really expensive and most are just used for show or competitions. Not to just carry around in public. Knifes are the same kind of, but yeah I'll just get in trouble too carrying those around. So look… can I just keep the gun. I'll only carry it at night and if I have to in the day I'll do the best I can to hide it." Hana explained, smiling "Deal?"

"…" Saber didn't say, but sighed knowing Hana had a point there. The laws of this modern world were so very confusing, some more restrictive then she'd like when it came with youths; but still she couldn't help but see Hana's point on this. Handing Hana the gun seconds later as the girl smiled a bit more "Fine but you better keep that promise understood?"

"Roger that Saber thanks!" Hana happily answered, though she knew she also would need more than just the gun to keep her safe in these trying day's to come "Although… if you don't mind me asking this from you. But… I'd like to have a sword too, maybe I can like make one with my magic. But anyways I'll have to learn to use one so… you know could ya help me out on that Saber. Pretty please."

"Heh, sure Hana. I'd be honored to hone your skills in the way of the sword." Saber replied, as she could tell Hana was being serious on this. Though also happy she'd get someone to teach for once with her style of honorable combat

"Sweet, this is like the best day so far!" Hana cheered, as she hoped once in glee, before landing and slamming her fist in joy into the covered item that had the gun on top of it. Which made a loud clang sound "OW!"

"Oh Hana a-" Saber began to ask. Only for her to be cut off when whatever was under the sheet began to…shake. She and Hana quickly moving away as they watched what happened next in awe along with shock

They both saw whatever it was, stand up, dwarfing the two rather small women a good few feet. Then the sheet blew off showing what exactly this thing was. To Saber it was extremely shocking, for it was like the being called Zenyatta in a way. But less human and more what she'd expect a inhuman construct to look like.

It was again, very tall but also had a bulky look to it that made it looked very well armored for combat. It had rather two long arms, two somewhat short cured legs, an odd bulky body and a square shaped head. Though in basic shape that's was what Saber saw. In more detail it's left arm was normal-ish looking one with a metal hand. While it's right had…yet again a much hated gun for it's lower arm. It also had two large plates of armor on its shoulders. The legs were plated in the front while it's feet were just a set of four pointed plated tabs. Two in the front and two in the back. It's waist and lower half of the body was thing, while the top was much bulkier with the strange armor on it and a small blue light in the center front. Though it's back seemed to jut out a bit as it looked to be connected to whatever large metal tub thing was on it's back. It's head meanwhile again was now more of a rectangle shape when Saber took a closer look, the front also plated with armor along with it's single blue glowing what she assumed was it's eye. Finally it had a paint scheme of tan for the armor pieces, white for its face plate, grey along with a forest green for it's less armored boy parts, orange for its hooked feet, had the words caution on it's both its plated knee, then lastly print on the upper front left and left side of its chest was the a 'E54'. All in all, Saber was already feeling kind of put off by this things human, yet inhuman look.

Hana meanwhile well lets just say she was quiet the closet history nerd when it came down to it. She never really flaunted it since most would probably look at her as odd, well in her own worried filled opinion. Still she knew what this thing was, very well from images in books, documents and well from a memory or two that was hazy before the…fire.

"Oh crap…" Hana said wide eyed, and in a slight panic

"Hana what's wrong?" Saber asked back as she and Hana stepped back when the thing took a step followed by another towards them

"That's a Bastion unit, really scary stuff and super destructive!" Hana replied back as she and Saber took another step back, when the Bastion unit took another step towards them

"In that case…" Saber muttered, as she summoned her blade at least and was ready to strike down this metal thing as it took a few more steps near then as they stepped back. Before stopping after the four step back "Cease you're movement or I will strike you down!"

"Saber I don't think-" Hana started to say, before something odd happened. The Bastion unit actually stopped, dead in it's tracks as it just stared at them. Hana moving from behind Saber wide eyed "I ah…never mind."

Though yet again something even more odd yet, awe inspiring occurred. The Bastion unit staring at the two girls before it. Lifted it's hand in a somewhat janky fashion, as Saber and Hana both got a bit tense at what was going to happen now. Only to see as the Bastion unit…waved at them, in the friendliest and janky manner it could muster up.

"Vroop, bop, beep, vroop, vroop!" The Bastion unit waved in the sweetest robotic tone it had, kind of like a little to be honest

Saber and Hana, seeing this sudden behavior coming from a machine that looked like it could kill them within seconds. Only could respond in the most appropriate manner.

…

..

.

"Okay… WHAT?" Saber and Hana both screamed, realizing that now they suddenly just gained basically a new ally if not a shocking one

Though these two would soon realize, along with others. That they should have taken comfort from these two odd and long days of somewhat normalcy. As things from here on were only going to get worse. Much, much worse…

Well there you go and yeah, new rouge servant. All the OG servants are here and now things are like state only going to get worse. How quickly I won't say and what exactly I also won't say. Those will be well kept secrets. Anyways though. I hope you liked the new rouge servant and master duo. Felt right to pair those two together. Also if some of the Overwatch lore seems off or different. Don't worry it's supposed to be like that. I tried to keep it the same for some, while changing others to accommodate most are like in high school in their second year, aside from Illya getting close to middle school now.

And there we go, again I'm gonna redo some of the older rouges states just because I a have a somewhat better grasp of how the class rankings work and such. So they won't seem too over powered, well they kind of are but not like too much. It's more of like a they are, yet they aren't at the same time. It will be explained in later chapters trust me lol.

But anyways, until the next chapter. I wish you all the best days ahead and to keep healthy. Have a great one! : )
