Shiro with his knees bent down in front of Martin before speaking in a calm tone.
"Call me a curious cat but there's no way you knew so much information about me without having some outside help" He uttered.
"Even I didn't know I had, what did you call it again? Or right the grail in my body" Shiro sighed.
"Now, it would make me happy if you'd just tell me the name of the person that helped you, that's all I'm asking, I really don't want to have to go extreme on you"
Martin shivered as he looked Shiro in the eye, his red glimmering eyes were enough to send chills down Martin's spine.
'Why is this happening to me? I never did anything wrong damn it! I just want power, is that too much to ask?' Martin thought to himself.
"He doesn't seem to know, we should just kill him already" Rider muttered, standing at a corner of the room with her hands tucked.
"When did you turn to… this? You used to be so caring and loving. Wh-"
Shiro suddenly had a serious look on, "Do you know how painful it was, having your insides get melted and put together over and over, to relieve your fears and worst moments, things you'd rather forget all because of some Grail you have no idea about".
Martin paused and didn't give a response, instead he just gulped down his saliva and looked away.
"I didn't think so, I'll ask you one more time, who was the person that helped you?" Shiro asked.
"I really don't know what you are talking about," Martin replied.
Saber suddenly snapped, she used her leg to kick the chair to the side before stomping toward Martin.
"I've had enough"
She stroked her blade at Martin only to have Shiro block the attack with his arm, "Calm down Saber, there's no point in killing him just yet".
"Master, he is not willing to talk, people like him should be cut down at first sight, why are you being so lenient with him?" Saber asked before pulling her blade away from Shiro's hand.
Shiro sighed, "Why don't you go help Scathach, I'm sure she'll need some kind of backup," He said.
He walked over to the dining table and slapped the apple that Gilgamesh was about to put in her mouth before picking up the table knife.
"Aww, is that you being annoyed at me?" Gilgamesh said, picking another apple from the basket and crossing her legs.
"Do you understand me, Saber? I got things covered here?" Shiro uttered, walking back to where he was while throwing the knife up and catching it.
"Don't ignore me!" Gil yelled in the background.
Saber sighed, "Whatever you say, summon me if something comes up," She glared at Martin before walking out the door.
"Now… Martin, you don't mind losing a few fingers do you?" Shiro said with an evil grin on his lips.
. . . . . .
"Arrrrrggggggggghhh!"
Martin yelled with tears coming out of his eyes, his body was tied to the ground with chains and Sato was slowly slicing off his fingers with the table knife.
"My finger! My fucking finger! Argh!" Martin kept yelling, desperately trying to move away from the chains.
Shiro started laughing, "Dude, it's only one finger, Geez!" He cracked up.
Shiro grabbed another one of Martin's fingers and was getting ready to chop it off when Martin suddenly yelled.
"Assassin! Assassin, come help your master needs you Assassin!" Martin yelled but he got no response.
"What's… what's going on?" Martin stuttered, he was sweating bullets as snot began falling from his nostrils.
"Oh you trying to contact your servant, right, well here's the thing she might not be able to make it, she's currently busy with my servants you see, so not to worry, we have the whole afternoon to ourselves"
Shiro smiled, "Now where were we?".
Shiro began using the tip of the knife to pick which finger he was going to cut next.
… "Kirie! Kirie Kotomine!" Martin shouted, with fear written all over his face.
"Oh?"
Shiro couldn't help but smile, he sat down on the floor before dropping the blood-stained knife beside him.
"Keep going, who is he?" Shiro raised a question.
"Karie, h-he owns the famous heaven feel's night club, when I told him about my idea he helped me see it through".
"There was another master there with him who had a caster servant, he was the one that revealed the lesser grail to me and told me the secret about the Grail."
"Secret?" Shiro asked.
"I really don't know much about it, but ... it was something about master's being the sacrifice instead of the servants".
"What?" Both Gilgamesh and Rider yelled in unison.
Shiro raised his hand which indicated that they should calm down, "And how did you come up with something like that?" Shiro asked Martin again.
"The plan was for me to infiltrate your hideout and stay close to you and once I've gained enough information, we'd kidnap you and remove the lesser grail from you and use your husk to power the primordial human" Martin sped-talked.
"They wanted to use me as a power battery, well damn" Shiro stood up from the ground and mumbled.
"Kirie Kotomina".
Gilgamesh suddenly stood up from the table and walked toward Shiro, "Come on, it's time to leave!" She voiced.
Gilgamesh pulled him on the collar and walked close to Rider, ignoring the protests that Shiro was giving.
After getting close, they disappeared out of the room, leaving Martin on the ground with the chains gone.
. . . . .
They appeared far away from where the apartment was and around them were little trees and buildings.
"What the hell did you do that for Gil?" Shiro yelled.
"I could sense multiple servants drawing in, strong or not, there are only so many enemies we can face at once" Gilgamesh uttered.
"I also sensed them too, we wouldn't have stood a chance if we stayed, although we also couldn't have known if they were going to be a threat or not, either way, she made the right call" Rider added, she had her back resting on a tree and arms tucked.
"There was still so much we could have learned, I… I wanted to know how I could bring a servant back and know more about this grial" Shiro said, before sitting on the small boulder.
"Please don't tell me, this is about the boy's arrow servant, bringing a servant from the dead is impossible, a servant can only be summoned and that's it, nothing-"
Gilgamesh was suddenly interrupted by Shiro who stood up from the stone and held Gilgamesh's arm.
"Say that again"
"Bringing a servant from the dead is impossi-"
"No! After that"
"Servants can only be summoned"
"That's it!" Shiro laughed, "I don't need to bring them back to life, I just need to resummon them!"
Shiro laughed, looking to the sky before stretching out his hand to the sun, "I honestly don't care about the other servants or masters, but my servants and the ones who stood by me, I'll make sure they all have their wishes granted" Shiro said before making a serious face.
"And here I thought you've changed, you are still as soft-hearted as ever" Rider smirked.
"Shut up", Shiro sighed, "Let's go check up on Scathach".
. . . .
Saber and Scathach stood in the middle of a wasteland as they watched a big Castle hover above the ground.
"I've heard history about this before, the hanging garden! Pretty slick if you ask me" Scathach said as a breeze whooshed past her face.
"Let's just get in… and kill her as fast as possible," Saber muttered.
Kilgharrah suddenly landed in front of her and Saber climbed on, "Hurry up!" She said,
"Okay then"
Scathach also climbed the dragon before they lifted up and began charging into the hanging garden.
