Let us gather! 2/2

"Well, that is a pretty weird thing to say." said Rider while looking in Archer's direction. "I am known as Iskandar, king of conquerors."

"You mongrel dare continue to refer yourself as a king in front of my majesty? I am the only king of this world!" replied Archer while stomping his foot, breaking the light of the light pole in the process.

Shortly after Archer appeared, black particles started gathering near us and a new servant materialised himself.

"Berserker..." muttered Saber while looking at the servant in the black armour, who was completely focused on Archer.

"You dare look at me without permission, you dog?" said Archer while opening several golden portals, all pointing in Berserker's direction.

Before he could open fire however, Rider spoke once again, bringing everyone's attention back to himself. "I have a question for you, would you consider surrendering yourselves and relinquishing the grail to me? If you do so, I shall recognise you as allies and show you the glory of conquest!"

While his words were indeed appealing because of his crazy charisma, they were not exactly welcomed among the other servants.

The first one to speak was Diarmuid, who had a slightly angry expression. "I have already promised to deliver the grail to my master who summoned me... and you are not him, Rider!"

Artoria was equally angry at Rider's words. "You called us all here to spout such nonsense? Moreover, I am a king as well, I would never lower myself to be another one's subject!"

Medea remained silent at my side, watching the other's reactions while focused on the task I had given her, to locate both Berserker's and Saber's masters, who should be close by.

The one who was the angriest however was undoubtedly Archer. "You mongrel, you not only want me to give you my treasures, but also expect me to lower myself and become your subject?! You worm!" as he finished saying that, countless more golden portals appeared behind him, each showing a different weapon and all pointing directly at Rider.

Berserker ignored Rider's words and remained focused on Archer.

Rider, seeing that his amazing proposal was not well received simply sighed and scratched the back of his head. "What a shame... and her I thought you would agree to it, well then, it appears there is no choice but to figh-" his words were interrupted by the sound of metal clashing with metal.

In front of me stood Diarmuid, his weapons tightly held. the sound of metal hitting the floor has heard and I lowered my gaze to find a bullet cut in half right in front of Diarmuid.

"Huh, so someone tried to shoot me..." I say, looking at Diarmuid who cut the bullet in half before it hit me with a smile. "Thanks."

"Of course, my master." he replied while focusing his attention on the direction form which the bullet came from.

"What a shame really..." I say while shaking my head. "I am the only master who actually has the honour to show up and I receive a bullet as a welcoming gift?"

I look back to see Medea and she nods at me. A smile forms on my face as I nod back and in an instant everything turns to chaos. Purple circles appeared around Medea and she began firing mana shots from them, all in the same direction.

"Saber, stop her!" said Irisviel, knowing that the one who took the shot must have been Kiritsugu.

Saber looked at her for a second and nodded before launching herself forward in Caster's direction, however she was intercepted by Lancer, who clashed his lances with her invisible sword.

Archer was still throwing weapons at Berserker, who was either grabbing them and using them as his own, dodging them, or directly destroying them.

Rider was left to watch the situation while shaking his head. It appeared things got very bad very fast. Suddenly, a voice was heard throughout the warehouse.

"Rider, use your No-" said someone arrogantly from the roof of a warehouse, however his words where interrupted by the loud sound of a gun being fired.

The sound echoed across the area for a moment, however it was replaced by the sound of something falling and hitting the ground.

Dio stared at the hole on his chest with wide eyes and coughed blood, his knees hitting the ground while a pool of blood formed underneath him.

Diarmuid's eyes widened as he ignored Saber and rushed back to his master's side. Medea on the other hand was confused, she had been throwing her attacks at the person who fired the first shot, there was no doubt about that, so who took this shot then? She ceased her attacks and rushed to her master's side as well.

Saber's eyes widened at the situation. It's true that they were enemies, but Lancer was fighting her honourably, and now their battle was interrupted because of the death of his master, which was most likely at the hands of her own master. She turned to look at Irisviel and found her staring at the corpse with a slightly sad and ashamed expression, it seemed Irisviel also thought this was done by Kiritsugu.

Before long however, red sparks of electricity surrounded Dio's body and the hole on his chest disappeared. After a few seconds, he stood up with an annoyed expression and looked at his suit, which now had a hole in it and was covered in blood.

"Great." he said while taking the ring on his finger off and and grabbing a new one from his pocket. Before he could put it on, another shot was heard, this time however the bullet was cut in half by Diarmuid.

Medea focused on the direction from which the shot came from and pointed her purple circles at it, however before she could begin her attacks Dio stopped her.

"Aww, look at you two all worried for me." he said with an amused tone, making Diarmuid scratch the back of his head and Medea look away. After saying this he focused his attention on the other servants, all of them had stopped fighting, including Archer and Berserker, and focused their attention on Dio who had literally returned from the dead.

"It must be both hard and annoying to have been summoned to this war by such masters right? I mean you are heroic spirits, and yet your masters see you as nothing more than servants under their control. Are you fine following someone who doesn't even show their faces in a fight? Who uses this type of shameless tactics, undermining both the pride and honour you have?" said Dio loudly, however his words were interrupted by the sound of gunshots, which were once again stopped by Diarmuid's lance.

"Sigh, see what I mean? It's just sad at this point..." continued Dio while shaking his head. "Whatever, let's just leave."

Once Dio finished speaking, he turned around and left, followed by Lancer and Caster.

Neither Saber nor Rider tried to stop them, Archer on the other hand simply watch them go with a raised eyebrow before focusing his attention back on Berserker and throwing more weapons at him.
