Hey everyone, I hope that this story or this chapter turns out good. This is just one of the stories I have planned to put out but looks like I will have to extend the time it will take to put out the rest. And just so you know I was planning to do a massive upload the whole month for my birthday present to everyone. But I failed as my birthday has long past and I'm now a year older and not a bit wiser.
So sit back, relax and enjoy
Prologue I – The Way Back Home
'What am I doing?' Naruto thought as he stared up at the ceiling of the motel, he was currently staring at the ceiling fan spinning around in a circle, as the slight hum from the electricity coming from the lights was the only sound in the room. Currently, the blond was 18 years old going on 19, he had grown to over 5'10' now. He was wearing a simple black hoodie with orange undershirt with grey slacks and black running shoes. A dark blue backpack was lying on the side of the bed. He had to rent a room to sleep for the night but ended up staying awake as his mind wondered.
Two years… two very long years since he had arrived in this strange world or dimension. Which sounded like a bad book in his opinion, but the sad thing was that it was completely true. After completing his Senjutsu training, Naruto arrived back at his home village of Konoha, only to find it to be a smoking crater. During his training, the Akatsuki leader Pain, had invaded his village in search of him destroying his once beautiful home. He was livid, his friends and comrades had been hurt, and more than a few were killed. His sensei Kakashi and older sister figure Shizune were murdered by Pain, he was furious and didn't hesitate to fight the ripple-eyed man.
The fight was going great he managed to beat the man but at the cost of his good friend Hinata, who had jumped into the fight to protect him when he was pinned to the ground by Pain's chakra rods. But the thing that struck with him most was the fact that she had confessed her feeling for him. What happened next shook his entire being, she was killed right in front of him after putting up a great effort against the leader of the Akatsuki. Naruto snapped, his anger roared as the Nine-Tails' chakra leaked into his system and made him lose control. His thoughts on revenge for what he had done to Hinata, Kakashi, Shizune, and for all the village inhabitants for destroying their home. The majority of what happened was a blur to him, all that he remembered was anger and hate.
At some point during the fight, the Nine-Tails had convinced him to try to pull the seal that kept him from breaking free, only to be stopped by the astral image of the Fourth Hokage; his father, Minato Namikaze. After punching and talking to his old man, Naruto had regained control over his body and defeated Pain. However, Naruto realized that the real Pain wasn't in the village but a couple of miles away from him.
Naruto immediately went to confront the bastard, only to get there to see a skeleton looking man, not someone you would think of leading the Elemental Nation's greatest terrorist group. Turns out the man's true name was Nagato, who turned out to be a student of Jiraiya. Which made them students of the same master, the same master that Nagato killed a few days ago. Naruto burned with anger his fist clenched so hard he wondered if he drew blood because of it.
However, as the two talked Naruto realized that as much as he wanted to kill the man. He couldn't… his sensei taught him better, he wanted to break the cycle of hatred and did something he never thought he could do. He couldn't forgive Nagato, for what he has done but he refused to kill him… he didn't want to continue the cycle and vowed to end it. His words seemed to strike a chord with the man, and he ended up reviving the people that were killed during the invasion. Naruto didn't know how but he was glad that it worked. But at a cost, Nagato sacrificed himself to revive the people of Konoha, which he was grateful for.
After that Naruto made his way back to the village, but he was ambushed by the man in an orange mask, and the rest was black as he didn't know what happened since the last thing he recalled at that moment was Kakashi's screaming his name.
The next thing he remembered was waking up in a hospital with no idea where he was, unfortunately, the people who found him didn't understand a word he said. It took a while for them to find someone who could speak to him, apparently, the language he had spoken was called Japanese. After talking to someone, Naruto immediately asked where Konoha was, only to get a blank stare for his trouble. Nobody had heard about his village. He had panicked quite a bit back then, especially when he saw the giant like buildings that reached higher than any tree or mountain he saw in his travels.
And that's when it hit him, that he was nowhere near the Elemental Nations. He tried to act rational and quickly busted his way out of the hospital, to find any way to get back to Konoha. Even if he had to travel there by foot.
That only lasted about 4 months since he had arrived in this strange world before he realized that there was no Elemental Nations or a Konoha anywhere on the planet. After months of traveling, breaking into libraries and sneaking on things called airplanes, he can definitively say that with no hint of doubt. But the blond didn't give up that easily, he did everything he could do and think of to find a way back home.
Two years and he still wasn't any closer to his goal, but even if he wasn't any close to getting back to Konoha. Throughout the years, Naruto would have traveled the world multiple time mostly since he had his clones travel all over to try to find anything that can help. A lot of rumor and disappointments had become a norm for him.
"I guess it wasn't all a waste." Naruto muttered, despite being stuck in this realm, he didn't slack in his training. He put more time and effort into his training in between traveling and following rumors. He was proud of his results. He gained a bunch of new tricks from his time here.
Naruto frowned as he scratched his stomach in irritation. Ever since he got here, he hadn't heard a peep from the Nine-Tails, a part of him wondered if the masked ninja managed to extract the furry bastard when he was knocked out.
"NONE OF THIS MAKES ANY SENSE!" Naruto screamed as he shot up straight from the motel bed, "AND I STILL DON'T KNOW WHAT THE FUCK THIS THING ON MY HAND IS!"
The blond held up his left hand to the ceiling as he eyed the weird red marks on the back of his hand, in the shape that reminded him of a sword with three wings on each side. A couple of days ago in the middle of the night, these marks had just randomly appeared without warning.
At first, Naruto thought he had gotten pranked or something but he shoved that thought aside, given how often he traveled it didn't make sense for that to happen. It irritated him to the point he held off on his research to figure out what was on his hand. So far, he learned nothing, it wasn't like he can go on the internet and look up weird red hand tattoo to find what was on his hand. He had almost given up hope until he found a letter underneath his door one night while he was traveling in South America that had a single sentence.
"Go to London, England to find your answers."
Naruto didn't know what to make of the strange letter, he should be wary about following strange letters, but he was willing to bite to find some answers. So here he was in a random hotel in England.
"I wonder what I'm supposed to do when I get there. The person could have at least given me a hint on what to do next." Naruto muttered moving his feet off the bed and got to his feet. Stretching his back out and walked to the shower. "Well, I rested enough the faster I get there, the faster I get my answer. I wonder if I can find a place open to get a bite to eat on the way."
(A couple of hours running later)
After leaving his temporary residence, Naruto booked it to London more than willing to leave Cardiff behind him. However, since this world had a lack of trees it made it rather difficult, but he managed by the climb and jumping from building to building or hitching a ride from a passing truck. He got there with no problems.
Naruto couldn't help but wonder why humans in this world didn't possess chakra, this wasn't the first time he thought this, mind you. It was something that passes through his thought every once in a while. Well, that not true they had 'Chakra', but none of it compared with what he was capable of doing. Instead, they had made further progressed in technology, accomplishing a lot more compared to the ninja's had. He was honestly envious of these people for that.
"Well, what to do now?" Naruto muttered to himself as he looked around as he sat a small café watching the cars and pedestrian passing him as they went about their day. He chewed the pasty that he had ordered as he glanced around while thinking of his next move. "The letter said to go to London, but it didn't say what to do when I got here!"
Somebody was definitely messing with him; there was no doubt about it. But the question was who, as far he knows there was no one in this world that knew about his existence. "I still don't know what this thing is. It can't be a Curse Mark like Sasuke's was. It's a seal of some kind but what? I really should have paid more attention to the Pervy Sage about Sealing Jutsu then maybe I could make sense of this." Naruto sighed, as he laid his head on the table when he heard someone place something on it, opening his left eye to see another letter. His head shot up and looked around the area furiously to see if the person was nearby, only to be disappointed and ticked off.
"Who the hell is messing with me…?" Naruto muttered underneath his breath before sighing, glancing at the letter that laid on the table, he reached for the inconspicuous piece of paper opening it to read.
"Dear Naruto Uzumaki," His eyes widened slightly as he had an uneasy feeling in his stomach as he kept reading.
"You are probably wondering about how I know about you. It is rather simple, but your presence isn't exactly subtle when you first appeared. At first, I was curious about you, then I decided to let you be after watching you for a time I must say you are a rather unique individual." Wait, this bastard knew he wasn't from this world and still didn't do anything to help him? This person was already on his shit list.
"Anyways, I'm sure you are curious about those marking on your hand after all that is why you followed a mysterious letter that could have been leading you in a useless little chase, hahahahaha!" Naruto was resisting the urge to rip the letter.
"Well, I do happen to know what you're looking for…" Okay, things seem to be looking up.
"But what fun would that be if I was the one to tell you the secrets of this realm?!"OH, screw you!
"The answer you seek, it's closer than you think, follow the address at the bottom then see what you can find." Wait, what? At the very bottom of the page was an address that was a good distance away. Well, now he knew where to go.
He assumed there must be something special about the place, he had been in London before about a year ago but he had never bothered going into the British Museum before since there was no reason to. Arriving at the place, he could see the building was modeled after the old Greek architecture. Deciding to sneak inside to avoid paying the entrance fee, he began looking around the place. Besides some dusty old relic and paintings, there was nothing worth noting, besides some surprisingly decent food. No Ramen though, which was something he hated.
He kept his eyes open for anything suspicious, but after searching the place for a good two hours. Naruto felt like he wasn't any closer to finding what he was supposed to. Deciding to go back outside to get some fresh air, when he felt a shift in the air.
The blonde's eyes darted to the side as he felt something was drawing him to follow. With a small shrug of the shoulders, he followed it, but he was fully prepared for anything. When he turned the corner, he stopped and saw a large door from the corner of his eye, which seemed to appear out of nowhere.
"What the… was that always there?" Naruto asked himself, walking closer to the door he felt a chill as if he entered a place that he shouldn't, he tensed his muscles as he pushed open the door.
"Hello? Is anyone here?" Naruto called out as he enters the building and his jaw dropped. The inside was bigger than it was on the outside. He noticed the rather high ceiling lobby with wooden pillars that decorated the area supporting the room, with a dark red painted wall and matching carpet. In the center of the room, was a large wooden receptionist desk. Which nobody was attending at the moment…
"This is getting weirder and weirder by the minute," Naruto muttered as he scratched his cheek nervously, while he walked inside making sure he closed the door behind him. He took out the letter again, maybe he missed something-
"What are you doing here?" A male voice echoed across the lobby; the blond looked around confused before he saw from on top of the staircase nearby was a long-haired man in a red coat with golden ornamentations on its shoulders. The older man began walking down never taking his eyes off the strange teen, his eyes were filled with suspicion.
Naruto didn't know what to say as he felt something or rather someone move behind him. No, wait he was surrounded they even covered the door. Shit, he should have expected a trap, but the whiskered teen wasn't concerned about the situation he found himself in.
"You're not a magus that's for sure," A what now? "Still the fact that you were able to enter shows that you aren't someone to be underestimated. So, I will ask you once, why-" The long-haired man was then interrupted by the blond.
"I'm sorry about coming in here, but I think," 'Think' is the keyword. "That I was told to come here, by-"
"You were told to come here?" The man spoke with an eyebrow quirked upward, his expression never changing but it was easy to tell that he wasn't amused.
"Yea I got this letter-" Naruto didn't get a chance to finish when the man walked up yanked the piece of paper from his hand and began reading it when a scowl formed on his face.
"… damn it." The man clicked his tongue as he made a hand gesture as the area around them shifted as a couple of people walked out from there hiding spots with varies object in hand. They seemed more than prepared for him. "You're not surprised?"
"Well, not really it's obvious that you weren't the only one here. The only thing that surprised me was the fact that you were willing to-" Naruto commented scratching his neck still nervous about what the hell was going. The man reached into his pocket and placing a cigar in his mouth and lit it.
"Normally we would have taken precautions with an unknown variable like you but given who wrote the letter. It's someone that I rather not deal if I didn't let you go." The man huffed out a cloud of smoke, Naruto gritted his teeth.
"Look I don't know what is going on. I don't even know who wrote that letter all I want are answers." Naruto exclaimed the man clicked his tongue as his eyes glanced at the boy's hand.
"Fine the sooner we deal with it the better. The letter mentioned you have a seal on your hand show it to me." The man ordered ticking Naruto off. He complied as he undid his fingerless glove on his left hand and pulled it off. The man's eyes widen as he grabbed the blond's wrist bringing it closer to his face.
"How did…? Why do you have this?!" The man frantically exclaimed, forcing Naruto to yank his hand back as he stared the man in confusion. The man's eyes hardened. "Follow me…"
(A few moments later)
"Do you want any tea? Given your name, I assume you're Japanese, but your hair color makes me wonder." The man stated. The two of them were now in the man's office, which was something to see when compared to the Hokage's office. This place was fairly large and had two small couches with a small coffee table in the middle. On one side of the room was covered in glass bookshelves with a bunch of large leather-bound books on them.
"That's fair… most people wouldn't have my hair color." Naruto commented as the man scoffed but didn't say anything.
"Given I know your name it should be polite to give you mine. I'm Lord El-Melloi II, I'm one of the lecturers here." El-Melloi said, making the blond blink before exclaiming. "This place is a school?!" El-Melloi wasn't surprised about the teen's response, the poor boy was obviously out of his element, so it shouldn't be surprising that he didn't know that this place was the headquarters of the Mage's Association. He probably doesn't know anything about Magecraft or Magi in general, still, the thing that bothers him was the red Command Seals on Naruto's hand.
"Well, you're in luck that I happen to know quite a bit about those seals on your hand." Lord El-Melloi stated as he brought his cup of tea to his lips and took a leisurely sip. "But I have to ask, when did it first appear?"
"Umm…I pretty sure it was when I was sleeping. I woke up when I felt a burning sensation on my hand and when I looked at it, I saw these things on it." Naruto replied as the man eye's narrowed once more.
"How long ago was this?" He asked the blond closed his eyes in thought before answering.
"I don't know… about a week ago I think?" The man frowned as he glances at the boy's hand again. He had heard that the Greater Grail had accumulated the necessary Mana much faster this time around, which was incredibly odd. But this seemed to give him another possible chance to see his king once again… or so he thought…
The Association had already chosen its two representatives and the two were now preparing for the Fifth Heaven's Feel ritual.
"So, are you going to tell me what this thing is or what?" Lord El-Melloi scowled at the boy, who glared at the man.
"You are a blunt brat… I guess I have no choice. Normally, I would merely say that you're on your own with this but, given the circumstances with who sent you. I think it would best to prepare you for the future."
Lord El-Melloi then began to explain to Naruto about the existence of Magi and Magecraft. Giving a brief history lesson about Magi, what they are, and their purpose. Then went into detail about Magecraft and what it was, what it's capabilities were. The final thing he went over was Mana and Od. He didn't go into much details like the Magic Crest or anything beyond what the blond needed.
As he explained this to the blond who nodded eagerly and followed along the best he can. Naruto couldn't help but compare it to Jutsu and chakra. He wondered if he was able to learn Magecraft but threw the thought out since he wasn't from this world and it was unlikely for him to have Magic Circuits.
Besides, Chakra was way more awesome in his opinion.
"So, do you understand what I just said?" Lord El-Melloi spoke up knocking Naruto out of his thought, the teen chuckled as he scratched his cheek.
"K-Kinda…" The older man's eyes narrowed dangerously at the teen. "So…what does that have to do with the thing on my hand."
"I was getting to that but if you don't understand the basics then how will you understand anything I'm about to say." He wasn't paid enough to deal with this shit. "Those things on your left hand are called Command Seals."
"A Command Seals?" The blond glanced at his hand nervously, with a name like that he couldn't help but worry about the implications with a name like that.
"Yes." Lord El-Melloi started ignoring how Naruto acted and continued. "The Command Seals by themselves are the crystallization of High Magic and on their own they aren't very useful bar being Mana sources, but… what they mean." Naruto leaned forward in his seat listening carefully. "Command Seals only appear on select individuals that have been selected to be a part of the Holy Grail War."
"Holy Grail War?" Naruto muttered as El-Melloi nodded in affirmation.
"Yes, but it's also called the Heaven's Feel ritual. Normally the ones that are chosen by the Grail are all mages. Which, you are not. The fact you have been chosen for this is considered very unlikely... and very rare…" Pausing to finish his tea and continued.
"The Holy Grail war was started by three families of Magi with the purpose of activating the Third Magic to reach the Swirl of the Root by using the Holy Grail. The grail itself is an omnipotent wish-granting device." This caused Naruto's eyes to widen at what he just heard, with El-Melloi capitalizing on this as he continued. "I can see that you already have a firm grasp of what it is. However, the Grail will only grant one wish to the last Master and Servant standing…"
"Masters?" Naruto asked.
El-Melloi nodded, "Yes, those chosen by the Grail are called Masters. These Masters are then granted the power to summon what is called a Heroic Spirit. Hero's from every period of history and nation. Being brought to life to fight in this war."
"That means I will have to summon a Servant of my own then?" Naruto asked, with Lord El Melloi nodding and humming in agreement, glancing at the clock for a moment, El-Melloi stood up and began writing something on a piece of paper before handing it to the whiskered teen.
"Yes, but Naruto… that is all the time I have available. If you want to learn more about the Grail War, then I recommend that you look it up at the library here. This letter will give you access to it, allowing you to study at your leisure without being a student." The man stated before he gestured for Naruto to leave the office.
Waver closed his eyes as he walked to his desk and ran his hand over a metal black box, opening it to stare at the tatter red cloak inside. "The Holy Grail War… a war that is supposed to happen once every sixty years. For it, to have occurred only ten years after the previous one, and to choose a Master with no history as a Mage… Zelretch, you definitely know something. And why are you interested in that boy?" He was going to have to make some calls.
"Stupid asshole. He could have at least pointed me in the right direction." After leaving the office, Naruto had started to wander the halls of the Clock Tower, which didn't make any sense to call it that but whatever. He immediately started asking around where the library was, only to be started out or scoffed at. Eventually, a nice girl had given him directions, he thanked her before taking off. Although he wished, she didn't stare at his ass when he did.
Still, he couldn't help but have a large shit-eating grin on his face as he remembered what the old geezer told him. An object that can grant him any wish. This was his chance, for the past two years of trying to find a way home. All he had to do was win this war, if that's all he had to do then it was good as done. He might have not known anything about Magecraft or Magi, but he had a good feeling about his chances. The only thing he had to worry about is the Servant, being something, he had no idea how to feel about.
But his Servant, whomever he summons, will deal with the other Servants while he deals with the Masters. Naruto couldn't help but feel excited about the prospect of fighting since he got here, there's been no need for his ninja skills. His Taijutsu was more than enough for most people.
At the library, he couldn't help but marvel at the sheer size of the place, it had five floors filled to the brim with various books. Naruto didn't know where to begin, to the point he walked around he couldn't help but wonder what he was supposed to look for. Maybe he should ask someone for help.
The librarian wasn't around as far as he could tell, maybe he can ask someone else. Glancing around the place, he eventually noticed a girl that looked to be around 16-17, with long blond hair that was a few shades darker than his, her hair was coiled, and she was wearing a fancy long sleeve blue dress. At the moment, she seemed to be looking for something as well.
Making the choice, he decided to walk up to the girl, until he was right next to her. She didn't seem to notice him, so he tapped her on the shoulder. The girl turned around before looking at him expectedly.
"I'm sorry for bothering you but I was wondering if you can help me find a book?" The girl raised an eyebrow her eyes looked at him up and down.
"Wait, aren't you the boy that caused the commotion earlier?" she said making him blink at her.
"Wow, word travels fast. It wasn't that long ago that happened." Naruto put his hands behind his head, as he sheepishly smiled.
"It's not often a person randomly wonders into Clock Tower as you did. I happened to be there as well. What book are you looking for?" the girl asked, he chuckled as he looked away.
"Well… it's not really any specific book but…" Naruto coughed into his hand before regaining his composure. "I need to find more information about the Holy Grail war."
"The Holy Grail War? Hmmm, isn't that the ritual in the Far East…?" the girl muttered unsure closing her eyes in thought. "That is a rather odd subject to research, so why are you looking for information about it?"
"Oh, the guy, umm… Lord Al-Milo told me to research it." Naruto stated as the girl snickered in amusement.
"It's Lord El-Mello II. Well, that at least that explains why you are here." The girl gave him a pitiful smile before she looked around the bookcase and pulled out a large book. "This is one of the books about that subject, there are more books covering it but that should give you the basic about it."
"Really?" Naruto stated with a large smile, taking the book, opening it before the smile fell. He couldn't read a single thing word in the book. The language it was written in was completely different than anything he had seen. The girl seemed to have noticed, her eyes gave him a questioning look.
"Umm… can you help me read this?" Naruto ended up saying embarrassingly, the girl inhaled slowly before straightening up.
"I suppose I can assist you." She replied, she tried to look unbothered by the request before Naruto muttered a sorry. "Well, if I'm going to assist you then I should at very least tell you my name. I am Luviagelita Edelfelt, heiress of the Edelfelt family. It's a pleasure to make you an acquaintance." She then held her hand out with elegant motion.
"My name is Naruto Uzumaki, it's nice to meet you Luvia." Naruto introduced himself with a smile, his hand grasped hers, both raising it up and down.
'Is he Japanese?' She thought when she heard his name, but he didn't look anything like one. Luvia had mentally put that away for later, as the two began walking towards an empty table.
(Three Weeks Later)
Naruto's brain hurt, he hasn't felt this tired since he fought Pain and was very thankful for meeting Luvia, she helped him a lot. However, the fact she had to read to him the book and translate it, was… embarrassing. He had promised to find a way to pay her back for her help. After that day Naruto had found out that Lord El-Melloi had arranged a place for him to stay. Something that wasn't expecting if he was being honest, but no less thankful for. Though he warned Naruto not to stick around for too long, or the higher ups would get suspicious and start trying to look into his background… something Naruto really intended to avoid.
The first couple of days the two had spent a lot of time together after their first meeting, mostly cause of Luvia kind of being his unofficial guide in the Clock Tower. She eventually took the time to help him research find and look up other books that talked more about the Holy Grail War.
The two ended up finding out a lot more about it, like that the Servents were divided into 7 classes, each one different in how they operate and only one could be summoned per war. Saber, Lancer, Archer, Rider, Caster, Assassin and Berserker; they looked at past Servants summoned and potential Servants that could be both compatible with Naruto, and useful in terms of strategic and tactical situations.
There weren't many save for those of the Assassin-class, Servants all named Hassan-i-Sabbah, each with different abilities, while a Lancer from the Third Grail War was named Fionn mac Cumhill, that a man named Darnic Prestone Yggdmillennia summoned, but failed to achieve victory.
But about a week ago Luvia changed and began pouring more research into studying the Grail, he didn't know why but knew that she wasn't only doing it for his sake anymore. Eventually, she had told him of her intention of joining the war as well. Naruto made a promise that no matter what happens that he will always consider her a precious person of his. After he said that Luvia had gained a large blush and went silent until she told him to take responsibility if he truly believed what he meant. He just nodded and gave her a large hug making her blush but return it with a smile on her face.
When they were not looking into the Grail Wars, Luvia took it upon herself to teach him about Magecraft, Magi and teaching him how to read Latin and German, so he didn't bother her every time to read a book that so happened to be written in those languages. Luvia even made him a study guide to help him out with learning it easier.
It was funny to see the look on her face when he ended up learning them both in just a week, he kept the fact he used Shadow Clones to help him learn faster a secret. After all, he had no reason to tell her everything about his powers after all. He still felt bad about keeping the fact he wasn't a normal human a secret, but something told him she had an idea that he was more then he seemed.
After three weeks of research, the two felt they had learned more than enough to perform the summoning. That day was today, Luvia couldn't wait as she busted through the door of Naruto's room at the Clock Tower.
"Naruto! Today is the day we- you're still asleep!" Luvia exclaimed as she saw the sleeping blond on his bed, it was 1 in the evening. "Get up! We have a lot to prepare for!" She then pulled his bed sheet off his body and immediately flushed red.
"Luvia? What are you doing here?" Naruto groggily asked as he rubbed his eyes and stood up from the bed, making the girl turn around as she covered her eyes with her hand, leaving a small gap in between her fingers.
"What am I doing? Why are you naked?!" Luvia yelled as the male blinked slightly, he looked down as he wasn't sure why she saying he was naked, he was in his frog-themed boxers and had an undershirt on too. He mentally rolled his eyes and covered up for the girl's sake. However, he didn't know that Luvia had kept watching him as he changed into some sweatpants and a plain orange t-shirt.
"Luvia why are you here anyway?" Naruto asked making the girl cough into her hand, trying to focus on why she was in his room.
"Well, for one I wondered if you'd be so kind as to accompany me to lunch. Nonetheless, that is not the only reason why I'm here. You do remember what tomorrow is, right?" Luvia asked with a serious tone in her voice, Naruto nodded his head, matched the girl's seriousness after all this is what the two prepared for the last three weeks.
"Of course, I do. Did your catalyst arrive today?" The whiskered teen asked Luvia who nodded her head.
"It came just now, I left it in my room but are you sure you don't want one. I don't mind assisting you to get one or waiting a little longer for you." Luvia spoke playing with her thumbs; a small frown appeared on her face. Naruto gave her a reassuring smile and walked over, placed his hands on her shoulder causing her to flush as she stared into his blue eyes.
"I'm sure Luvia, besides I'd rather have a Servant that I can get along with than one who I would butt heads with." Naruto stated as Luvia sighed but agreed with him. After all, she'd rather not have to deal with a Servant who ignores her orders.
"Fine, I don't particularly agree with your choice, but I shall accept it at least." Luvia then walked next to him and wrapped her arms around his, hugging it close to her. "But for now, I believe we should get something to eat." And she began to pull him away.
"Can I at least take a shower first?"
(1:58 AM; The Next Day)
The two blonds had to ask for permission to perform the summoning on the grounds of the Clock Tower, Lord El-Melloi II had provided them the space needed in exchange to being present during the actual summoning. They agreed since the older man had done a lot for them and it was only fair, they allowed his request. And it would get some of the other Clock Tower officials off their backs. 2 AM, the time that Luvia's power reached its peak, which was the time they will perform the summoning ritual.
Naruto, however, was nervous, from what he had read about the ritual was that it required Prana to help the Servant anchor and materialize itself in this world. He would have to us his chakra as a replacement instead, but would he succeed in the summoning? The Grail chose him for a reason so maybe it knew he could. He didn't really like this, but he still had to try.
The two summoning circles had been prepared ahead of time; each holding a hexagram with various runes inscribed around it. His hand traced the circle as it pulsed from his touch.
"Don't mess with it, Naruto." El-Melloi called out to him as he took a puff of smoke, the older man then glanced at his watch and saw that it just turned 1:59. "Okay you two, it's time to start. You know what you're doing right?"
"Yep!" Naruto popped the 'p' as Luvia nodded her head, she placed her Catalyst at the makeshift altar she had for her ritual. The two stood next to their circles and cut their hands, a small flinch of pain as the blood dripped on to the circle as they began the incantation.
"Fill, Fill, Fill, Fill, Fill Repeat five times. But when each is filled, destroy it"
"For the elements, silver and iron. For the foundation, stone and the Archduke of pacts. And for the ancestor, my great master, Schweinorg."
"Raise a wall to block the falling wind. Close the gates of the four directions. Come forth from the crown and follow the forked road leading to the kingdom."
The blood began draining into their circles as Naruto's began to glow lightly, but as with each incantation, it began to glow brighter. Luvia glanced at Naruto's circle before looking at her circle. 'Why isn't it working?'
"Heed my words. My will creates your body, and your sword creates my destiny. If you heed the grail's call and obey my will and reason, then answer me!"
"I hereby swear, that I shall be all the good in the world. That I shall defeat all the evil in the world."
The air grew thick as the light from the circle began to fill the room, Naruto gritted his teeth as he felt a burning coming from his Command Seals. He mentally smirked as he felt his small drain from his chakra reserves. However, he felt something off as something stirred from inside the other seal on his body.
"Thou seventh heaven, clad in the three great words of power...come forth from the circle of binding, guardian of the scales!"
The light then filled the room, blinding everyone inside for a couple of seconds, Luvia's arm covered her face, as she saw that her summoning… had failed. Looking over to the other circle as a cloud of smoke covered the area. Naruto had a large smirk on his face as he wondered who he had summoned. As the smoke clears, he noticed the shape of a woman.
The woman was pale with yellow eyes and short silver hair. A black decorated headpiece on her head, she had black metal armor covering her torso and forearms. A dark long skirt-like cloth, which reached just underneath her knees, revealing her thigh-high black socks and metal heels. On her shoulders was a long dark cape with a red cross in the center with a fur collar. The Servent had a deadly beauty to her, her eyes looked towards him as she spoke.
"Servant, Avenger. Summoned upon your request. Are you my Master?" the woman spoke with a tone that sent a small shiver down Naruto's spine, something that made 'Avenger' form a twisted smile on her face at the sight of such a thing.
Boom, my first attempt at a Fate crossover, not going to lie this wasn't the original idea I had. But a nice guy by Jonathan Matute, sending me a pm and offered me a challenge. Normally, wouldn't have taken a challenge just because I want to do my own ideas first, but this idea intrigued me enough to semi abandon my old idea and do his idea. And since this is his idea, the two of us talked and we came up with a lot. And I know what people are going to ask and yes Jeanne Alter and Naruto are going to be paired up.
Adding to that this is a harem fic with Jeanne as the main Girl, Jonathan had requested three other girls with me adding one of my own choosing. And the list is Fate/stay night Saber or Arturia Pendragon, Rin Tohsaka, Luviagelita Edelfelt, Jeanne Alter or Jalter. Four girls. And Shirou will be paired with Sakura Matou as per his request.
Somethings will be different from canon but just a smidge. Now, if anyone is wondering I do plan on continuing this but not for a while just until I upload the other story's I have a planned. Now here's a list of the stories that will be upload hopefully before the end of the month but it is unlikely so if you see anything you like to see look forward to them as I plan them to be different and these are all crossovers.
High School DXD
SOA or Sword art Online
Oreimo
RWBY
And restarting my Code Geass fic.
One last thing if anyone is interested about My HOTD fic, which I highly doubt but the next is done however my beta is busy for a while for his private lfie, so will patiently wait for him to finish editing before putting it out. So, expect that by the end of the month... hopefully.
So, until we meet again, farewell
