Chapter 3: Kidnapped

Both Regis and Kiritsugu were talking in a restaurant while Maiya was one table away from them to keep an eye on Regis. Not knowing much of him but only bits and pieces.

Regis: "So, is there a particular reason why we both are here?"

Kiritsugu: "It's simple. I want to know about Kirei Kotamine, Assassin's Master. You told me before that Assassin has lots of forms. And you also know about the two of them Tokiomi and him are in this together."

Regis: "Correct. So what's your aim?"

Kiritsugu: "If you want, we can help each other out. I can find where Caster is and then you will tell me about the two of them."

Regis: "The offer is tempting but I am just an Overseer, I cannot tell you about the two of them. There was no rule in stating that other Masters can help each other."

Kiritsugu: "Fine then, but will you at least help?"

Regis: "If this is going to make you cheat then forget it."

Kiritsugu: "Not like that, though I can tell that you too have a Servant. Judging from you covering your right hand with a glove."

Regis: "I see. Hmm... If you want to make a temporary alliance then why don't you call your friend from over there and then we can continue more, hmm?"

Both Kiritsugu and Maiya were shocked to hear that from him, they didn't realize that Regis was using a magic skill called Blood Search, like mana. He can sense people's blood from a two-mile radius and is able to tell whether they are allies or enemies.

Maiya with no choice, went to the same seat and both Kiritsugu and Regis continues to talk to each other about Caster and his Master, seeing as it could be a huge boon to have Regis as an ally and is able to take down Caster, Kiritsugu wants this alliance to happen.

Kiritsugu: "I know that you are the Overseer and two of your work involves Master's retreat and overseeing the whole war. But isn't this a good thing?"

Regis: "You mean... You help me find Caster and his Master and we'll take them down together?"

Kiritsugu: "Yes."

Regis: "I see. Very well then, I'll help you in this but only this once, got it?"

Kiritsugu: "Yes."

Regis: "Now then, if there's nothing else. I'll be taking my leave now."

Regis left and went back to the mansion, Kiritsugu and Maiya also left five minutes after Regis. When Regis arrived home he sensed another Servant and rushed towards the gates. He barged into the mansion to see his son, Irisviel, Artoria, and finally Saber. All of them were doing some karaoke and the one who was about to sing was Roy.

Roy: "Father!"

When he saw his dad, he immediately went to him and hugged him, Regis hugged his son back and Irisviel only smiled at the sight while both Artoria(s) were indifferent.

Regis: "Are you alright, son?"

Roy: "Huh? Yeah, I am."

Regis: "Oh, thank god you two didn't have a fight."

Roy: "Ah... Yeah, Father... About that..."

Artoria: "Young Master, let me be the one to explain."

Artoria (Lancer) told Regis about what happened on how Irisviel, Saber, herself, and Roy fought each other, Regis in normal circumstances would be mad but he understood. Irisviel stands up and introduces herself.

Irisviel: "Greetings, Master Trevelyan. My name is Irisviel von Einzbern and my Servant here, is Saber."

Regis: "It's nice to meet you as well." *looks at Saber* "Tell me something, Saber. Are you also King Arthur?"

Both of them were shocked while Roy went back to the stage-like platform and looked at the book to continue to sing his goal was to calm them all down.

Roy: "Okay! I'm going to sing now!"

Regis sits down and Albert came in and gave him a glass of wine and to Irisviel as well, Irisviel thanked Albert and looks at Roy and the screen.

Roy: "This is from one of my favorite singers... Frank Sinatra!"

~~

"Strangers in the night exchanging glances

Wond'ring in the night what were the Chances We'd be sharing love Before the night was through

Something in your eyes was so inviting

Something in your smile was so exciting something in my heart told me I must have you

Strangers in the night

Two lonely people, we were strangers in the night

Up to the moment when we said our first hello little did we know Love was just a glance away, a warm embracing dance away. and Ever since that night we've been together

Lovers at first sight, in love forever turned out so right for strangers in the night"

--

As the music continues to play, Irisviel, Regis, and Artoria were amazed and were clapping while Saber was just indifferent but was in the thought of the word.

Saber: 'Strangers in the night... What a good title.'

Regis: 'Well, I now know what to give Roy for a birthday present.'

--

Love was just a glance away, a warm embracing dance away

Ever since that night we've been together

Lovers at first sight, in love forever turned out so right for strangers in the night

Dooby-doobie-doo

Dooby-doobie-doo Dooby-doobie-doo

~~

As the music ends, all of them clapped. Albert entered and gave Roy a thumbs up and then proceeds to tell them that dinner is ready.

Regis: "Well, Mrs. Irisviel? Care to join us for dinner?"

Irisviel: "Of course."

Saber: "Not yet, how do we know you won't poison us?"

Irisviel: "Saber!"

Regis: "Well, for one. I'm just the Overseer and second I don't have any desire to harm our host. End besides, it looks like my son has taken quite a liking to you two."

Roy: "Ms. Irisviel one song after dinner, please?"

Irisviel gives him a head-pat and then agreed.

Irisviel: "Okay. After dinner, okay?"

Roy went to Artoria and held her hand.

Roy: "Come on! Artoria!"

Artoria: "O-okay..."

They went out of the room first, Regis sighed and smiled.

Regis: "That kid is a handful."

Irisviel: "Looks like you're doing a good job as a parent."

Regis: "Well, I try. This is after all the second successful birth that my wife gave..."

Irisviel: "Second? Then does that mean that he has a sibling?"

Regis: "Yes. Zack, right now our family of four is split in two because it was instructed by the Leader of the Clock Tower. Zeltrech is planning something and I don't like it."

Irisviel: "Sir Regis. Don't worry, I'm sure that they'll see each other again."

Regis: "Yes."

They went to the dining room and ate, they enjoyed their dinner while they eat Saber was still on guard and Roy notices it and stabbed the pork with a fork and tries to feed Saber.

Roy: "Saber, Saber! Say ahh."

Saber: "Uh..."

Saber looked around and sees Irisviel smiling while Regis looks at the reports behind the dead while Artoria (Lancer) looks at Saber with jealousy. Saber looks at Roy and opens her mouth and Roy feeds Saber and went back to his seat while he smiled at her.

Saber looked away embarrassed while Artoria just looks at her with some smite but continues to eat but as she eats Roy also went to her side too and feed her. Artoria smiled and continued to eat. Later on, Regis left again and Roy and the others went back to the karaoke room.

Irisviel: "Okay, we're going to sing, together with Saber and Lancer here!"

Roy: "Yay!"

Artoria (S)(L): "Huh?!"

Artoria (Lancer): "But, Ms. Irisviel I don't know how to sing."

Artoria (Saber): "Yes, I too do not know how to sing."

Irisviel: "Come on, there's no need to be embarrassed! You may not be good but it's just for fun, okay?"

Roy: "Please...!!"

Artoria(s): *blush and looks away* "Okay."

As the music begins, Roy handed two microphones to Saber and Artoria. Irisviel smiles and began to sing the first verse of the song.

Irisviel:

"Everybody loves somebody sometime"

"Everybody falls in love somehow Something in your kiss just told me That sometime is now"

Saber:

"Everybody finds somebody someplace"

"There's no telling where love may appear Something in my heart keeps saying My someplace is here"

Artoria:

"If I had it in my power"

I'd arrange for every boy to have your charms Then every minute, every hour Everybody would find what I found in your arms.

Irisviel/Saber/Artoria:

"Everybody loves somebody sometime"

"And though my dreams were overdue Your love made it all worth waiting For someone like you"

Saber/Artoria:

"If I had it in my power"

Irisviel:

"I'd arrange for every boy to have your charms"

Saber/Artoria:

"Then every minute, every hour"

Irisviel:

"Everybody would find what I found in your arms"

Then Artoria signals Roy and he then took a microphone and joined in the fun.

Saber/Artoria/Roy/Irisviel:

"Everybody loves somebody sometime"

"And though my dreams were overdue Your love made it all worth waiting For someone like you"

~~

After they sang, everyone congratulated each other and later on. Both Irisviel and Saber went home for the day. Roy was already sleeping while Artoria stays with him.

Artoria: 'For a child, you're already becoming such a Cassanova.'

She then kissed Roy on the cheeks and then stayed with him as she protects Roy like a bodyguard. Alfred told Artoria to rest but she declines.

At the roads, Irisviel was the one driving while Saber was in the passenger's seat. While she stays there, Saber is currently worried since Irisviel is driving at a fast pace driving like she's in a drag race.

Irisviel: "See? I told you so, this car takes the turn very fast!"

Saber: "Well, that's because you're a good driver."

Then the car started going more faster and faster to the point that it was getting to stand up. Saber only smiled and laughed at Irisviel.

Irisviel: "I know, you may not believe it but I've been practicing and trying!"

She then used the stick shift.

Irisviel: "Of all the toys that Kiritsugu brought me all these years. This is my absolute favorite."

Saber: 'I'm so thankful that Roy Trevelyan isn't here or else it will be a traumatic experience for him.' "This... is a toy...?"

Irisviel steps on the gas paddle and then the car goes faster than before and made some turns for the road.

Irisviel: "At the castle, we're only allowed to ride in the courtyard! So this is great! I know! Let's ride with Roy behind us! I'm sure he'll have fun!"

Saber: "Uh... If we do that, let's let Alfred do the driving."

As Irisviel dives, Saber sensed another Servant and then told her to stop the car, then she stepped on the stop pedal, and the car stops a few miles away from the Servant that Saber sensed.

Saber: "Irisviel get out of the car and stick very close to me. This presence... It's a Servant."

The two of them went out of the car and slowly walks towards the Caster Servant. Then Caster bows down while the two of them just watch his next move.

Caster: "I have come for you my sweet and holy virgin."

Irisviel: "Do you know this man?"

Saber: "I have never laid my eyes on him."

Then Caster started freaking out.

Caster: "Oh no, are you saying that you have forgotten my face?"

Saber: "Forgotten you? I never met you in my life. You mistake me for another."

He then started to tremble as he holds his hand on his head.

Caster: "it's me! My darling Jeanne. I have prayed for your resurrection and have been waiting for a miracle that would reunite us. To that end, I have come all this way to the end of time. My Jeanne..."

Irisviel: "Who is Jeanne?"

Saber: "I know not your name I assure you. Nor I have any idea who this Jeanne be."

Caster: "No... No, you can't have forgotten. Not your former identity."

Saber: "As you have seen fit to give your name then I must in keeping the chivalric code with mine. My name is Artoria, the heir to Uther Pendragon. And King of Britain. I enter this battle in the Saber class."

Caster: "No! No, how tragic! It's so very sad! She's lost all her memory and gone completely insane!"

After some exchanging of words the two left and then Caster went back to the location of his Master from the Holy Grail War.

The next day, both Roy and Lartoria are in the city just doing some shopping and sightseeing. They passed on some bridges and saw some fish swimming in the river. Some guys started leering at Artoria and as expected of her, Artoria didn't mind but Roy knows what's going on and he holds Artoria's hand much tighter.

Artoria: "Are you afraid?"

Roy: "What? No... It's just."

Then three guys approached them and they were the typical punks of the whole world. Blonde, has a lot of piercings and such.

Punk 1: "Hey baby, is that your kid there? Why don't you bring him home and we can have some fun?"

Punk 2: "Yeah~"

Roy glares at them and the last guy gave him a death glare but it wasn't very effective for Roy himself. Artoria ignored them and holds Roy's hand tightly and tries to walk away from them but was stopped by the same guys.

Punk 3: "Hey you bitch! Didn't you hear us? We're going to have some fun. And like it or not you're going to join us."

Artoria: "I don't have time to listen to you or any of you. Why don't you leave already? We're wasting time."

Punk 1: "Come on baby. What's the rush?"

Artoria then punched the Punk's face and sent him flying the other two started shivering from her strength and ran away apologizing. Then Artoria remembers that Roy saw all that and looks at him staring at her with stars in his eyes.

Roy: "That was awesome!"

Artoria: "Why don't we go now?"

Roy: "Oh, I want to visit the park first. I want to sit down there."

Artoria: "Okay, Young Master."

They made their way to the park to rest and Artoria already called Alfred to pick them up by car. Roy looks around enjoying the breath of fresh air and Artoria just looks around while still being leered by guys."

Roy: "I've been wondering about something, Artoria."

Artoria: "What is it?"

Roy: "So the Saber Servant is also you, named Artoria the King of Knights and such, correct?"

Artoria: "Yes."

Roy: "Hmm... That will be confusing. Why don't we come up with a nickname for you?"

Artoria: "A nickname?"

Roy: "Yup! Since your name is Artoria and you're a Lancer-class Servant... How about... Lartoria! Yeah, I think it's a cute nickname. What do you think?"

Lartoria's heart started beating fast and her face is all red, she stands up and looks at Roy with a red face.

Lartoria: "I will buy some drinks for us."

Roy: "You don't like the nickname?"

Lartoria: "No... I think it's good..."

She walks off leaving Roy to be lost in thought. As Lartoria walks towards the vending machine near the public restroom, She leans at the back and touches her chest. Where the heart is beating.

Lartoria: 'Calm down me... I don't think it's wise for a Servant to fall in love especially with a child such as the Young Master... But if he was older..."

She imagines what Roy would look like in the future and she turned red again. She sighed and went to buy.

Lartoria: 'But... Is it alright? My feelings are nothing, I'm just a tool to be used after all...'

As Lartoria buys drinks, Roy then stares at a guy with orange-red hair and has none other than a command seal on top of his hand. He then looks at Roy and went to him. As he walks towards Roy, behind Roy's back was a knife he summoned using magic. Then the teenager holds Roy's head.

Ryuunosuke: "Hey kid, name's Ryuunosuke Uryuu. And I got to say you're not good at hiding your powers."

Roy: "I can say the same thing to you... You're not even hiding that command seal."

Ryuunosuke: "A Master then, tell me. Where's your Servant?"

Roy: "I'm not telling you a damn thing...!"

He then spits on Ryuunosuke's face and then he got pissed.

Ryuunosuke: "You brat!"

He then started strangling Roy's neck and then slams him to the ground then he picks his head and slams it at the bench making him bleed, his nose and mouth were already bleeding. Ryuunosuke wanted to make sure he dies but then Caster called him using telepathy.

Caster: *No Ryuunosuke, keep him alive!*

Ryuunosuke: *What for?*

Caster: *He has a lot of mana storage, I'm sure we can use him and win the Grail!*

Ryuunosuke: *You're right."

He then smirks and looks at Roy.

Ryuunosuke: "Well kid, You're going to be a lot useful than I thought. Come here!"

He then slams Roy at the bench again and teleported, there was no one on sight to see what happened and when Lartoria returned she dropped the drinks and the plastic bag that has a lot of items from the store.

Lartoria: "Young Master!"

~~

Regis: "What do you mean?"

Lartoria: "I cannot atone for this failure... Master, I will commit suicide and-"

Then Regis flicks Lartoria's forehead.

Regis: "Don't you even dare. Right now what's important is looking for Roy. We can't-"

Kiritsugu: "Is there some kind of problem, Regis?"

Regis: "My son's been kidnapped. And it was a Master who did it."

Kiritsugu: "Are you sure?"

Lartoria: "Yes, I sensed magic at the bench and it was not on the Young Master."

Regis: "Damn! Where could he be?"

It was already dark at Kiritsugu's safe house. Lartoria managed to find Regis and teleported next to him and then told him about what happened.

Kiritsugu: "Then we can go save him AFTER we find Archibald."

Regis: "But..."

Kiritsugu: "Listen to me. We can't go after two Masters at once. We can go save him after both Maiya and I deal with Archibald. In the meantime, you go out there and find your son's whereabouts.

Regis: "...Yes. I'm not going to let my emotions run wild at this time."

Lartoria: "Master... No, you're right. We have to find him."

Maiya: "But where could they be...?"

In the warehouse, a bloodied and scarred Roy can be seen hanging in a cross similar to how Jesus was crossed. Nails at both of his palms and then at his feet. Ryuunosuke keeps torturing him and whipping him over and over again.

Ryuunosuke: "Come on! I'm getting bored here! Scream! Scream! You son of a bitch!"

*Whipping SFX*

Roy: "..."

Ryuunosuke: "Fuck you!"

He was about to strike again but Caster stopped him.

Caster: "No Ryuunosuke, we can't kill him!"

Ryuunosuke: "Tch, fine. a good time to take a break."

Looking at Roy's condition, his back is filled with bloodied scars. Then his right eye is also bleeding. Ryuunosuke drinks his water and then proceeds to torture him again, Ryuunosuke's laugh filled the whole warehouse and the sound of the whip and Roy's screaming over and over again.

~~

Right now, outside of a certain hotel, there were a lot of people standing outside and far away from the building then there was a man wearing a business suit and has a hard hat on top of his head and a paper with a lot of crossed-out names, and the remaining one was Kayneth El-Melloi Archibald's name.

He looks around and calling people's names and evidently, Kayneth is the one who he's looking for. Kiritsugu saw him and then looks at Regis. The only thing that Regis did was nod.

Man: "Mr. Archibald! Mr. Kayneth El-Melloi Archibald! Are you present here?!"

Kiritsugu: "Yes, here I am."

The man looks back to see Kiritsugu.

Kiritsugu: "That was me. Don't worry. Both Kayneth El-Melloi Archibald and his wife Sola-Ui. Have exited."

Man: "Hmm... Oh, I see. Yes, yes. That's right."

He walks away and at the same time, he also crossed out Kayneth El-Melloi Archibald's name and went to the other person who works the same job as him."

Man 1: "Everyone has evacuated."

Man 2: "Good."

Both Regis and Kiritsugu started walking off, Regis was talking with Lartoria telepathically while she searches for Roy's whereabouts. Kiritsugu fished out his phone from his pocket and then contacted Maiya.

Kiritsugu: "Everything's ready on our end. And you?"

Maiya then can be seen on top of a roof of the building while aiming her sniper rifle from above overlooking the building/hotel that Kayneth is in.

Maiya: "All green. Just give the word."

Back with Kiritsugu and Regis, Kiritsugu himself took out a carton of smoke and offers one to Regis which he accepted it. He ignites his lighter to the both of them and he looks at Regis.

Kiritsugu: "You sure this plan would work?"

Regis: "I wouldn't propose to it if it doesn't work."

He then fished out a remote and pressed it, then at the hotel, it exploded, lots of the lights were cut off from power and the whole building started collapsing. The only ones who aren't yet evacuated were Kayneth El-Melloi Archibald, his wife Sola-Ui Nuada-Re Sophia-Ri, and Lancer.

When they saw the building, people were gawking over the whole thing while both Kiritsugu and Regis were walking away. Kiritsugu calls Maiya again.

Kiritsugu: "Maiya?"

Maiya: *phone* "The target didn't even move from his position, he didn't leave the hotel before the explosion."

Kiritsugu: "A free fall from a hundred and fifty meters. No magical barrier known to man could have saved him from that."

He puts his phone back in his pocket and looks at the people around him. Regis did the same and both of them see a little girl crying while being held by her mother.

Regis: "So, do you regret this? The killings and such."

Kiritsugu: "A little bit but there was no one who died except Kayneth."

Regis: "I wouldn't let my guard down yet."

Kiritsugu: "Are you saying he survived that?"

Regis: "I don't know, maybe."

Kiritsugu: "Whatever the case is. Come on, let's go back to the mansion and we can help with Roy's situation."

Regis: "Yes."

It was already four days since Roy was kidnapped and tortured by Ryuunosuke and Caster. Kiritsugu, Maiya, Regis, Irisviel, Saber, and Lartoria were inside a room in the Einzbern mansion. In the middle of the room was a table, on top of it was a map and some other writing utensils.

Kiritsugu: "There is a powerful barrier over mount Enzo with Ryuudo temple at the center. Because of that, except for natural spirits like Servants. Anything can enter via the pilgrim's path. Keep that in mind while you're with Saber. There are three other spots that the leyline converges."

Regis: "One of them is the Tohsaka Manor. Then the Fuyuki chapel, and last in this New Town in the east."

Kiritsugu: "Right, consequently. That means that there are four locations in Fuyuki of all the spiritual characteristics that the Grail will appear."

Irisviel: "In the war's second phase. When there are fewer Servants left in the fight. We'll have to secure one of these spots as our base of operations, aren't we?"

Kiritsugu: "Yes, that's correct. Well, that just covers the lay of the land. Are there any questions?"

Irisviel then faces Saber.

Irisviel: "Is there something that you aren't cleared on, Saber?"

Saber: "I understand perfectly. It was an adequate situation."

Irisviel looks back to Kiritsugu.

Irisviel: "Kiritsugu can we safely assume that the other Masters will go after Caster?"

Kiritsugu: "It's a safe bet."

Regis: "If you want some clarifications, Tokiomi and his protege -Kirei- will either fight Caster or stay away from him."

Irisviel: "I see. I'm sorry about Roy."

Regis: "He's not yet dead. There's still a chance to save him."

Irisviel: "Right, we have to stay positive."

Later on, Kiritsugu can be found on top of the balcony of the manor and a few moments later, Irisviel went outside too and comforted Kiritsugu."

As both of them have a heart-to-heart moment Regis was listening in their conversation and felt sorry for them.

Regis: 'If only I could have more time to research that spell, I could create a small Holy Grail that could help them... After all, they have done to help to save Roy...'

He sighs and went back down. Then out of nowhere, Irisviel sensed an unfamiliar magic power arriving. As for Regis, he felt a familiar magical power and it's getting really weaker.

Regis: "Roy....!"

He immediately went to Lartoria and told her to prepare for a fight, as for Irisviel and Kiritsugu on top of the manor.

Irisviel: "Kiritsugu..."

Kiritsugu: "An attack. We're lucky that both Maiya and Regis are here and haven't left yet."

Kiritsugu went downstairs and to the room and got his weapons. Regis on the other hand puts on his mantle and his ring. He also borrowed a sword from the Castle/manor from one of the homunculi maids.

He went back to the room where Kiritsugu, Maiya, Lartoria, Saber, and Irisviel is there. Irisviel uses a crystal ball and then sees a lot of children walking.

Irisviel: "They're they are."

Artoria: "Irisviel. He's trying to lure us out."

Irisviel: "It looks like... He has hostages."

Artoria: "We'll do what we can to save them..."

Lartoria: "Master Regis."

Regis: "You sensed it too, didn't you. Roy's magic."

Kiritsugu: "So, he's close by? Irisviel try to locate Roy."

Irisviel: "Got it."

Irisviel looks at the crystal ball again trying to find Roy but then, back with Caster. He stares at the crystal ball or more directly at Irisviel and smiled creepily.

Irisviel: *gas* "He knows that we're watching him."

Caster: "Just as I promised you last time. I Gilles de Rais have come for you my darling. I wish to see you my fair Jeanne my holy and enchanting Holy Virgil of my dreams."

Lartoria: "Is he talking to another Servant here? Or..."

Artoria: "He thinks I'm Jeanne."

Lartoria: "I see."

Artoria: "Irisviel..."

Gilles: "You may take your time if you wish. I have come for a lengthy wait and I will be attempted and patient as you need to be."

He snaps his fingers making all the children snap back to their senses.

Gilles: "Now children. It's time for us to play hide and seek. The rules are simple, you only need to elude me but if I find you."

He then grabbed one of the children's heads and then the child started screaming in pain. The others were getting really scared again. Back at the mansion/castle. Saber and Lartoria knew what will happen and they then shouted at the crystal.

Saber: "No don't!"

Lartoria: "Don't you dare...!"

Gilles crushed the kid's skull, blood covered the whole area and the others started running away from him.

Gilles: "Run children run. Run and don't stop to hide."

Gilles laughs and Regis was about to go there but then Gilles called out to him.

Gilles: "I can sense two Servants there. Tell me, is the overseer present? I have a present for you. You see, I found this lost child and my Master was so gracious to take care of him. Wanna look?"

All seven of them were horrified to see a scarred and bloodied Roy still clinging to what life he has left. Regis was understandably furious and wants to go out but without a plan and Kiritsugu tries to stop him. Irisviel vomited and both Artoria and Maiya help her to recover from the gruesome sight.

Lartoria on the other hand left the room. As she walks through the hallway her clothes change into her armor and her face was pissed off seeing Roy in that condition.

Lartoria: 'Young Master... I swear as the King of Knights. I am going to save you...!'

Artoria: "Lancer! Wait!"

Lartoria: "Don't stop me, Saber!"

Artoria: "I'm going with you!"

Lartoria: "Come on then!"

Both of them ran through the forest and then found Gilles holding a child's head. Both Artoria(s) are mad.

Gilles: "What is this? Two Jeanne(s)? No... Yes! Yes! My holy Virgins became two!"

Artoria: "You monster!"

Lartoria: "Shut your face you cur, release both Roy and the children!"

Gilles: "Jeanne(s) if you really wish to save the boy..." *looks at boy* "Then child, you should be exceedingly glad."

Gilles killed the child before any of them could do anything then Lartoria began the attack first and missed hitting Gilles, as they fight Lartoria looks around for Roy's location while Artoria holds him off. She swings the sheathed Excalibur and then Gilles smirks then attacked them by summoning tentacles from the ground.

Lartoria stabs them and then swings the lance -Rhongomyniad- around and killed the tentacles surrounding her. Artoria on the other hand tried doing the same but then failed. Lartoria was about to go her but was stopped by more tentacles.

Artoria tries her best to slice them up but the tentacles attack her over and over again then. One tentacle was about to stab her but then it was stopped by another person, this person hits the tentacle causing the whole area to smoke but as the smoke clears it was none other than Lancer Servant - Diarmuid.

Artoria: "Lancer..."

Diarmuid: "Hello again Saber... Huh? Who is this?"

Lartoria: "Another Lancer-class Servant."

Artoria: "If you're here then does that mean...

Diarmuid: "Yes. My Master is still in the game."

True to his word, Kayneth is still alive. He fights off Kiritsugu while they fight, Irisviel and Maiya were escaping the manor/castle. But then they were attacked by none other than Kirei. Maiya tries her best to hold him off but Kirei still manages to overpower her.

As for Regis himself. He went deep into the forest to try and find Roy. As he does that there were the "zombies" from before. They attack him but he manages to kill them one by one.

Regis: "Get the hell out of my way!"

As Regis fights them off. He managed to arrive where Roy is, stabbed to the palms and his feet crucified like Jesus on the cross.

Regis: "Son...!"

He runs towards Roy but was stopped by none other than Ryuunosuke.

Ryuunosuke: "Not so fast. Old man."

Regis: "Ryuunosuke."

Ryuunosuke: "Ah, so you know. Not really a surprise for the Overseer."

Regis: "What do you even want from my son? He and the others are neutral. You are violating the laws of the Holy Grail War."

Ryuunosuke: "Oh please. This is the most effective way to win the Grail!"

Regis: "Curse you and your Grail! Die!"

He threw several phantom weapons and then started casting his blood spells at Ryuunosuke. Ryuunosuke himself dodged them but some of Regis' attacks managed to scrape him.

Ryuunosuke: "What fun! Show me more, Old man! If not your son will die!"

Regis: "What do you mean?! Tell me dammit!"

Ryuunosuke: "Tsk, fine. Fine. You see, behind that cross is my magic every time a minute passes his life will be more in danger... See?"

Regis and Ryuunosuke look at Roy and then below the cross was a magic circle coated in red and then started electrifying Roy. He didn't scream from it yet but tried to hold it out, then spikes appeared from the ground and stabs him.

Roy: "AAAAAAGGGGGGHHHHH!!!!!"

Regis: "ROY!!"

Ryuunosuke uses this chance to attack Regis, with a powerful blast he manages to overpower Regis and then got his knife and stabs him on the chest. He was about to do it again but then Lartoria arrives just in time and manages to stab Ryuunosuke.

Ryuunosuke: "You!"

Lartoria: "Are you alright, Master?"

Regis: "I'm fine... I can still stand..."

Roy: "AAAAAGGGGHHHHH!!!!!!!"

More and more pain is inflicted on him. Roy's magic circles started going haywire, both Regis and Lartoria tries to get him out of the cross but then out of nowhere all of them including the people around the Einzbern manor/castle was transported to a different location.

The whole place looked similar to hell, flames everywhere but the differences are the buildings were either on flames or overgrown, an Apocalypse...

Regis: "Where...are we...?"

Lartoria: "It looks like some sort of world..."

Back in the Einzebern manor.

Kiritsugu: "What just happened...?"

Kayneth: "Are...we... Is this hell...?"

In the forest.

Irisviel: "What happened...?"

Kirei: "Hmm... It looks like we are in hell."

Maiya: "Hey! Don't you dare look away from me!"

Then from the skies were swords and other weapons coated in flames and then it started raining down on them. Then a huge meteor landed near Gilles, Artoria, and Diarmuid. Diarmuid manages to get Artoria out of there and the meteor blew up near Gilles inflicting a huge amount of damage.

As for Ryuunosuke, he was stabbed on his limbs and then the whole place went back to the Einzbern manor and everyone resumed fighting but as for Roy, he was gone. Regis woke up and saw Ryuunosuke escaping later on with Gilles. Lartoria was nowhere to be seen as well along with Roy.

Regis: "Where... Are they...?"
