Why?

Roland had extended his friendship towards Artoria and Arthur as they both accepted. Roland gave them an invitation letter to his birthday party in two weeks.

Uther was proud of his children as he decided that soon they would be allowed to handle their own business. Even though Arthur already was.

Arthur was currently looking through the Gate of Babylon looking for a gift and he was indeed surprised. "Gold Toilet Paper?" "Damn Gil is still flexing his wealth even when he's not here." Arthur rummaged a bit more as he spotted a few more interesting things.

Arthur was stuck he did not know what the prince liked or disliked so the most simplest way was to ask his sister.

Arthur lived not far from the castle as he walked there and asked the guards to meet the princess. The princess listened to the guards as they passed on a message. The princess nodded and directed them to guide him in.

Arthur sat down and began his inquiry "So what does the Prince prefer as his gift?" The princess thought about it before answering. "Well he does like rare weapons but father won't let him touch anything other than a normal steel sword."

Arthur nodded his head and was deep in thought until the princess introduced herself as Angelica and offered Arthur some biscuits and small cakes. Arthur wanted to refuse but his ahoge was giving it away.

Angelica giggled as she saw the little hair on his head wiggle and dance a bit when she offered the cakes. She noticed that his ahoge was different to Artoria's ahoge as it was facing backwards instead of forwards. None-less still adorable. Arthur looked at the time before excusing himself.

"I'll kill you Arthur Pendragon! Even if it means that I have to turn my flesh and bones to that of a beast!"

Blood splattered on the ground as the shadow of someone fell to the ground in a puddle of blood. The corpse started bulging in mass as it grew larger and grew extra limbs. The mass solidified as it looked like a hulking figure with arms pulsing bags of flesh.

Arthur dressed up in a black suit as he got ready to attend the birthday party. His sister made herself known as he waited for her in the carriage. Arthur had to go on without food for a while as he was out doing his business. Artoria watched as her almighty and powerful brother had been reduced to a lion cub as he slumped and slept the rest of the way.

Arthur awoke to Artoria poking him on the cheek. In retaliation he pinched both sides of her cheek using a tiny bit of strength leaving her with swollen cheeks. Artoria rubbed her cheeks as the swelling went down and back to their original forms.

Arthur met the prince and presented him a nameless noble phantasm that had slain a dragon even though it did not make it into myths.

Roland was happy that Arthur had gone to great lengths of even contacting his sister for what he liked and proceeded to act upon that. Roland truly did not regret his friendship with the Pendragon siblings.

The party was going nicely as Arthur pounced on the food nearest to them and began his feast. Roland struck up a conversation by wondering if he could see the sword that Arthur uses. Arthur unfortunately declined and Roland understood why from the description.

"This sword to call it beautiful would dirty it's name. It is more akin to sacred."

"It was forged from the wishes of mankind and stored and tempered inside the planet."

"It is the crystallisation of the wishes of mankind in the form of Glory."

"The sword of promised victory."

"A sword to save the world."

Roland was wondering where and how a sword like that had chosen him however he did not question it as he assumed it was a secret.

A roar and howl brought everyone's attention.

Arthur looked to the source of the roar and saw an abomination of flesh destroying and eating the guards. Arthur immediately summoned his amour before rushing towards the beast. Roland followed suit and decided to use the new sword given to him.

Arthur narrowed his eyes as he realised what was happening. The wounds were regenerating despite the wounds being caused by Excalibur. Arthur tried using Anti-Immortal weapons from the gate but none worked. Arthur decided that it was pointless to keep trying and the best bet would be to destroy it all at once.

Roland and the other nobles watched as the weapon Arthur was holding was revealed. The wind unraveled layer by layer as a warm and comforting light enshrouded everyone. The sword revealed it's form for all to see. The sword was indeed sacred and to call it beautiful would stain it. Arthur called for Roland to retreat as this would be a one on one battle.

Arthur started unleashing the seals.

"Seal 13 Decision Start!"

The world became silent as forms started taking place around him.

"I Lancelot declare this battle is not against an elemental and release my seal."

"I Mordred declare this battle is one against evil and release my seal."

Of course it's evil it literally wants to kill us.

"I Galahad declare this is not a battle for personal gain, I release my seal."

The only thing I gain is keeping my life.

The blade began to glow bright.

Arthur didn't care about the other seals, he would release just one more.

"I Gareth declare that there is nothing inhumane in this battle, I release my seal."

Nothing inhumane about killing that abomination that looks like a grail rip-off from Shinji.

The sword became brighter as it soon became a sword that was made of light. Arthur positioned his sword to the ground before swinging it.

EX...

The sword grew brighter as he swung it up.

CALIBUR!

The light beam continued travelling upwards as the creature was obliterated in a beam of light. Arthur then slumped down and refused to move.

Artoria wondered what was wrong as he just suddenly slumped down with no reason. Roland headed to Arthur who quickly concealed his sword with invisible air.

Artoria asked "What's wrong?" Arthur looked at Artoria with a small smile as he said "I'm too hungry to move." Artoria smiled as she dragged him back into the hall and the two began to eat as if nothing ever happened. The two kept munching away at the food on the table while the nobles slowly filtered out of the door.

Arthur kept munching away until a blue screen popped up.
