Location: Lumeria, Ybalish

*Kusanagi Ken's Perspective*

After the meeting, we ate and relaxed in the living room. We are preparing for the operation that will happen in the next hour.

I am nervous… I kept sighing thinking what if we lose in this war… I sighed again

"Stop sighing" Assassin smacked my back

"OUCH! That hurts you know!!!" I yelled at her

"You are sighing too much, it's distracting me"

"Did I sigh that much?"

"Ask them" she pointed at Rider and Luna

"You did sighed a lot" Luna replied with an awkward smile

"Calm down, Young Ken! HAHAHAH" Rider replied with a loud voice

"Can everyone take the situation more seriously?" Li Jing ranted from the corner

"You can't help it. This will be Ken's first official battle" Luna replied

"If I remember correctly. I was calm like a sea when I first fought with Archer" she replied

"Now I see where you get your ferocious temper" a woman's mysterious voice appeared

"Wait that is…"

"Ta-DA!" Haruka appeared behind the sofa where Li Jing was seating. She was surprised that she flinched but she kept her princess-like composure

"Ahem…. You are Saber?" She asked after regaining her composure

"Indeed I am Saber!" Haruka stood up properly and with her sword in her hips. She was in her servant form. A girl who wears a samurai battle gear. "Nice to meet you everyone! I am Haruka! The Saber of East! Thy true name is Susanoo!" she introduced herself

"You… Why did you told us your real name???" Li Jing was surprised she lost her princess-like demeanor

"Hehe… What is there to hide? I am pretty proud to worship Susanoo-sama" she laughed

"She is crazy"

"Welcome back Haruka" I can't think of any other things that I can say… so I went with this.

"Umu! I am back! Ken!" she dashed and jumping to hugged me. I quickly reacted and caught her. "I missed you Ken!!!" she cried

"Whoa…where the hell did you went?" Luna asked

Haruka replied while sniffing "A nightmare training" she wiped her tears "It was a total nightmare!!! YOU HEAR ME A NIGHTMARE!!!" she shouted with hatred

"Haha… Just where did you go?" I asked

"That idiot little brother of mine…" she sighed

"You were the one who wanted to go there" Lein appeared "And please don't call me idiot, Haru-nee"

Now everyone is here

"So how is everyone's preparation?" Lein asked

"Everything is great in our end" Archer replied

"Same here" Rider replied

"I guess I am" I replied

"I have nothing to prepare" Lancer replied while holding his staff

"I have everything ready" Assassin answered

"Okayyyy. I guess we can have a last recap of our plan"

Everyone nodded in response

"This will be our battle plan" Lein showed a hologram representing the classes that are still present in this war.

"We are planning to use a transfer stone right?" Assassin asked

"Yes we do."

"And we are planning to switch so we can fight in our advantage" Archer added

"Can you please raise your hand if you want to say something?" Lein asked

Everyone went silent

"I will leave it to Emi to explain"

Emilia entered the scene with glasses on and her uniform a little bit different

"Good evening everyone! And thank you for the transition, Senpai!" she gave a flying kiss. Lein stood still like a statue "So… This will be the setup" she picked up a stick and pointed at the hologram

Everyone was silent while looking at the results. After carefully observing the hologram…

"Are you sure we can win with that?" Li Jing asked "Wouldn't it be better if Archer and I fought against Rider?"

"Little Jing what did I say about raising your hand?"

She flinched "I apologize, Teacher"

"I can handle this, Senpai" Emilia was about to reply to Li Jing

Kiya raised her hand before Emilia can reply "I agree with Lady Jing. It will be better if we placed Saber against Rider in terms of speed"

Emilia immediately replied while pointing at the hologram "Your concerns are valid. But, Haru-nee would excel more if she were to directly infiltrate the enemy's headquarters and support Mister Lupin"

"I also would like to place my concerns" Lancer raised his hands "Why do we need to infiltrate the enemy's quarters if we can overwhelm them with numbers?"

"A good judgment. But, infiltrating the quarters can give us an advantage"

"How so?"

"If we can take their master as a hostage… Wouldn't that end the war faster?"

"That is true… But wouldn't tha…" Lancer made a pause

"It would give them the fright of their lives" Li Jing replied

"True, this will be a battle of time. It's either we defeat the servants or even if we are the ones who lost we will still have hope the moment we incapacitated the Masters"

"A smart move" Lancer praised

"It was Senpai's idea… Now continuing" She pointed points we should remember "The moment we separated our enemy. This is when we will use the transfer stone… You don't have to worry~ I will make sure everyone go in the right place. So just activate the stone and I will handle the rest" She winked at everyone

"I don't trust her" Li Jing glared

"We don't have a choice. Do we?" Lancer replied

"Everyone will have one of this" Emilia summoned multiple boxes in front of us.

"This is?"

"Items you will need" Emilia replied "Inside is a highly advanced communication device, the transfer stone, and a anti-matter time bomb"

"I know why we need the first two…but WHAT DO WE NEED THE TIME BOMB FOR!!???" Li Jing raised her voice

"You don't have to shout" Emilia replied calmly while covering her ears.

Li Jing sighed "So?"

"Well…" Emilia smiled "Before the battle… It would be better if you activate this time bomb" Emilia replied

"So you want us to… KILL OURSELVES ALONG WITH OUR ENEMIES!!?" Li Jing shouted again

"Yep!" Emilia replied with a smile

"WHAT!"

*SMACK* Emilia was headchopped by Lein "You really shouldn't be joking at a time like this, Emi"

"Ow ow" Emilia carefully held her head "I'm sorry senpai hehe"

"The true purpose of that bomb is to…" Lein closed his eyes

"Is to?"

"Latched it into your servants and run!"

*BANG* Lein suddenly fell on the floor with his head smoking

I didn't notice but it was Haruka who made him drop like that. She sighed "How about I latched this bomb to you? Lein?" Emilia smiled at him holding his collar

"No… Please I will stop… So let me go Haru-nee" Lein replied

Haruka released him

"Haha" Lein smiled a bit "I guess it was a bad joke"

(If its not bad then what is?)

"Well… the real purpose of this bomb is when the fight is over" Lein replied to everyone
