Chapter 2: Saber vs Lancer

As both Saber and Irisviel went to the location of the Servant that Saber sensed, on top of the bridged was none other than Iskandar or Rider and his master Waver Velvet looking at the whole place.

Back with Saber and Irisviel, they walk around until a man with black hair and a mole on his face appeared walking a good distance in front of them. The man has two spears one red and the other yellow. This is none other than the Lancer Servant.

Lancer: "Welcome, I have searched the entire day in this city for a worthy foe. Everyone just slinks away, hiding in their little holes. You alone have accepted my offer."

Then Saber got in front of Irisviel ready to attack and defend.

Lancer: "That energy surrounding you, you're the Servant called Saber, I presume?"

Saber: "Indeed I am and I presume you are the one they call the Lancer?"

Lancer: "Hmph, being unable to honorably name myself before combat troubles me more than I can describe. I harbor an amount of dislike in these rules."

Lancer then twirls around his spears and then Saber got into her armor after a gust of wind and then she brandishes the sheathed Excalibur.

Irisviel: "Saber please, be careful. I can use my healing magic to act as support for you but more than that, Saber."

Saber: "Just leave Lancer to me. It troubles me that his master is still in hiding and hasn't yet shown himself. Perhaps they plot something, watch yourself and Irisviel, from now on. I trust you to watch my back."

Irisviel: "Very well, I will. Saber. Grant me victory in this fight."

Saber: "I will. Without fail."

Both fighters got ready to fight while the whole thing is happening. Regis uses a crystal to watch over the fight from the roof of the church.

Regis: "This will be an interesting match."

Back at the port. Lancer did something and both Irisviel and Saber felt what Lancer did.

Saber: "You have a charm spell."

Lancer: "Apologies, but I'm afraid is a curse that I was born with. There's literally nothing you can do about it. Blame it on my birth or would you prefer the fact that you were born a woman."

Saber: "Surely you don't actually believe that a pleasant face and that charming swagger will save you from the bite of my blade. Spearman."

Lancer: "I would certainly hope not, that would spoil in the fun. I see now that the tales of the Saber-class' resistance to magic is true. Very well, I prefer not to kill a girl who's throwing herself at me. It would sully my reputation. I'm pleased to see my opponent is made of stern stuff."

Saber: "Oh? So what you desire is a fair fight? I am quite fortunate to meet with a strong hero."

Lancer: "Then let us... Begin."

Saber then charges it first, while doing that Lancer spins one of his weapons and then parries Saber's attack. Saber relentlessly swing her sword over and over again, both of them were in a blade lock. The ground that Lancer was stepping on cracked from the overwhelming strength that Saber showed.

While doing that, Lancer was smiling while Saber was getting more serious while Irisviel was getting more worried. In the shadows, Kiritsugu was there and some few meters away from him was his "partner" Maiya.

Kiritsugu: "It started. Someone has put up a barrier, probably the Master of the enemy Servant."

Maiya: "Climb on top of that crane it would be possible to survey the whole battlefield."

Kiritsugu: "Indeed, that would certainly be a good vantage point. Anyone seeing it would agree... Alright, you'll circle around the eastern wharf I'll go the other way to take west. You and I need to find good spots while being invisible during Saber's battle in that crane. Got it?"

Maiya: "Yes, understood."

Then Maiya walks off into the shadows while Kiritsugu just watches her and smirks.

Kiritsugu: "Now then. Let's see what you can do. My adorable King of Knights."

Back at the fight, Irisviel continues to watch them. Their blades swing and hit in a mesmerizing way to see the colors of red and somewhat blue-ish and the sounds of clashing steel.

As Saber continues to parry Lancer's attack, Lancer again tries to stab Saber with his other spear. The only thing Saber did was dodge the incoming attack. And that created a huge black smoke. Saber's eyes were traces staring at both of Lancer's spears.

Irisviel: 'Saber's watching both spears simultaneously. Lancer's advantage is where the opponent's uncertainty which of the spears he'll use."

Saber: 'The long spear in the right hand or the short spear on the left... Which are the Noble Phantasm. If I could be certain of what is what. I could attack and defeat him.'

Irisviel: 'If only we know his true name..."

Then Lancer strikes again, he stabs with his right hand first then Saber parries it after that. He swings his left hand while Saber had to parry it again.

Saber: 'Whoever he is... He's a master of the spear. However, that is not enough.'

Then Lancer extends his spear by throwing it but then catches it before it could launch away from his hand, he swings it towards Saber again and then Saber parries it and backs off. He swings again on the opposite hand and Saber jumps away from it.

As they fight. Kiritsugu was already on top of the crane and uses his sniper rifle to look around and find the Master. Using the thermal scope he found a man standing in the shadows. He switches to his other scope and contacts Maiya.

Kiritsugu: "Maiya, northeast of Saber and Iri. On top of the roof of the warehouse. It's Lancer's Master. Do you see him?"

Maiya looks through the scope of her gun and tries to look for the Master of Lancer but there was none.

Maiya: "Negative. I can't see him from my position."

Kiritsugu: "Understood, I'll take him out from here."

Kiritsugu gets ready to fire but then a strong gust of wind happened and then Kiritsugu looks back and then aims his gun at another target, it was another Servant that appeared on his scope and not just any other Servant but none other than Assassin.

Kiritsugu: "Assassin."

At the church...

Regis: 'That's odd, why do I sense that Assassin is still out there?'

He looks behind to see that Kirei was gone but still stayed at the church, he left him alone for the time being and then watches the whole fight again.

Maiya: *COMMS* "I see him too, but the assassin Servant is supposed to be dead. So why is he here?"

Kiritsugu: "I knew that something had to be up." *aims at the Master* "let's see how all of this plays out. Continue to observe Assassin. I'll watch Lancer."

Maiya: "Let me launch an attack on Assassin. And then, while I have him distracted you can take out Lancer's master."

Kiritsugu: *COMMS* "No, Maiya. I don't want you to make any moves on Assassin. You're not equipped to fight Servants right now. It would be disastrous."

She stands down, back with Kiristugu. He aims his gun at Saber for the time being. While Maiya replied with "understood" through the comms.

As Regis watches them, there was someone who went beside him and started whispering to Regis himself.

Man: *whisper* "It would seem that the Servant Caster and its Master had gone rogue."

Regis: "What?"

Man: "Yes, sir."

Regis: "I see. Hmm... If any of them would lose then welcome them here in the church, I'll go look for Caster and his Master."

Man: "Thank you, sir. We will do that."

Regis left the church and first went back to the hotel to meet up with his son. When he returned he saw that Roy is sleeping on Artoria's lap.

Regis: "Lancer."

Artoria: "Master, is there an emergency?"

Regis: "Yes, it would seem that Caster and his Master has gone rogue."

Artoria: "Understood, I will place the Young Master on the bed and after that, we can go."

Regis: "Not yet, I'm going to relocate us. It would seem that this hotel will become a battlefield in a few hours or so."

Artoria: "You have some kinds of time magic?"

Regis: "You could say that. I have these visions that can tell me about the future, and 90 percent of the time it was right."

Artoria: "I see. So, where will we be going?"

Regis: "At the outskirts of this town lies a forest and a mansion that was built for the Trevelyan family. My grandfather commissioned it when he was last here during the 3rd Holy Grail War."

Artoria: "Was he a Master?"

Regis: "No, more like another Observer, the Trevelyans haven't been participating in the Holy Grail War for almost three centuries, I think the last was the 2nd Holy Grail War. Where our ancestors won."

Artoria: "I see. Should I carry the Young Master?"

Regis: "No, just wake him up."

Artoria: "Young Master, wake up... Wake up..."

Roy rubs his eyes and yawns.

Roy: "Artoria...? Is it morning already? Are we going to play or train?"

Artoria: "Nothing like that, we're leaving the hotel now."

Roy: *yawn* "Okay... Sleepy... I want to play with Artoria again..."

He tries his best not to fall asleep again and went to the bathroom to wash his face with water to fully wake him up.

Regis: 'Hmm? Looks like you and my son have been having fun."

Artoria: "E-excuse that, Master. He and I were playing some games he told me about."

Regis: "No harm done. Now come on, let's get out of here."

They later left and some few minutes later they made it to the forest and there, There were some maids and butlers that greeted Regis and his crew while Alfred went to the butler side.

Maids & Butlers: "Welcome back, Master Regis. And Young Master, Roy."

After that, Roy went back to sleep while Artoria is beside him.

Regis: "I'm sorry for taking care of my son while I'm busy."

Artoria: "No, it was no trouble at all. In fact, just after training he was the one basically taking care of me. He cooks and then gives me a message when he saw how my back was stiff."

Regis: "Yes, he's always like that ever since Mercedes raised him alone along with my other son, Zack. If Roy was a woman he can be the best housewife."

Artoria: "You can say, househusband."

Regis chuckled with her response and then went to change his attire to a more battle-fitted one instead of his business suit.

Regis: "I will summon you when I encounter the enemy. So be prepared."

Artoria: "Of course."

Regis then left along with Albert.

Back at the docks...

As both Lancer and Saber still continue to fight while Kiritsugu just watches it and looks at Lancer's Master for any signs of movement, back at the bridge. Iskandar was at looking at the battle while Waver was being... Waver. Scared from the height and the whole winds.

Iskandar: "This is extremely bad..."

Waver: "W-what is?

Iskandar: "Lancer has begun his ultimate attack. He intends to end the battle here."

Waver: "Well... Wouldn't that be better for us?"

He then stomps on the bridge making Waver yelp in fear and then some people from below wondered what the hell was that or something."

Iskandar: "You idiot! What are you talking about? I wanted to sit back and watch more Masters fight but at this rate Saber may just fall. And then it will be too late."

Waver: "T-too late for what? I mean that plan was to attack after some battles and they weaken each other."

Iskandar: "I must admit I had hoped for one more Servant that would answer Lancer's call because of course, it would be much more faster to fight them all together than to seek them all out one by one."

Waver: "You would fight all of them together?"

Iskandar: "Indeed, rarely would one would exchange blows from heroes from a different time, and to fight as many as six of them I'd hate to miss out on a single one. Just observe Saber and Lancer both of them are strong and valiant warriors that I would want to face in battle. I cannot let one and the other die."

Waver: "BUT ISN'T THAT THE WHOLE POINT?! The Grail War's objective is to kill each other isn't it?"

Then Iskandar goes in front of Waver and flicks his forehead making him flew off a few feet.

Iskandar: "To win and not to destroy to subjugate but not to humiliate that is a good and honorable conquest."

Iskandar then brandishes his sword and sliced off the space and a portal appeared and from the portal was his chariot creating a mass of lighting making Waver scared.

Iskandar: "Now we wait no longer! We shall join the fray boy! Let us go!"

Waver: "You stupid idiot! What you're doing is totally insane!"

Iskandar: "If you really don't approve why don't you just stay up here and observe?"

Waver: "No take me with you dammit!"

Iskandar: "Excellent! That is my Master!"

Back at the fight, Saber's Excalibur was unsheathed but went back to its hidden form and then examines on what the hell happened. Then out of nowhere, Rider appeared and joined in the fray as he say.

???: "Well, well, well. If it isn't Waver."

Waver: "Oh no... That's my teacher!"

???: "I have a name!"

Waver: "I can't remember it...!"

???: "How dare you steal my Servant Rider!"

Lancer: "Whoa, now hold on! Are you saying I wasn't your first choice?!"

~~

Future Roy: "Welp, loyalty just went out of the window."

Future Shirou: "Yup."

Future Ray: "Agreed."

~~

Iskandar: "Now see here, Daipercrotch! That's your name now since you're so cowardly you hide in the shadows"

Kayneth: "Hurrrggh!"

Iskandar: "No one like you could ever be my Master. Sure this kid is a weakling, but he's here. In fact. I'm just gonna say it. Anyone hiding right now... Totally gay."

Then, Berserker appeared.

Berserker: "NOW HOLD ON, THERE!"

Then, Archer also appeared.

Archer: "I'VE GOT SOMETHING TO SAY!"

Kayneth: "LOOK! LOOK! HERE I IS! YA SEE?! E-E-EVERYBODY, SEE?!

Kiritsugu: "I don't care, I'll suck dick. Single life, baby~"

~~

Iskandar: "I am Iskandar the King of Conqueror! In this battle for the Holy Grail, I am of the Rider class of Servants."

Waver: "W-what the hell were you thinking announcing it like that, you idiot?!"

He then flicks his forehead again.

Iskandar: "Fate has come for us for the battle of the Holy Grail. But first I wish to make a proposition. An offer you could say."

He raised his arms in the air.

Iskandar: "What do you think of handing me the Grail and joining my invincible army? You will be treated as allies and friends, and brothers of allies. Together we shall share the glory of battle and the joy of world conquest!"

Lancer: *shakes his head* "I'm afraid that I must decline your offer. As tempting as that offer maybe I may give the Grail but one man. My new avowed lord and Master. And not to the likes of you. Rider!"

Saber: "Tell me, Rider. Did you come here and interfere with our battle? Rudely at this ridiculous plan of yours? This is a grave offense on my honor."

Then Iskandar "OK" sign.

Iskandar: "I'd be willing to discuss compensation."

Saber and Lancer: "Enough!"

After that, Iskandar looks at his "OK" hand then Saber talked to him again.

Saber: "And further. I am the rightful King of Britain and not merely a knight of the realm. I can never lower myself to a mere retainer. Even to a mighty King."

Iskandar: "Whoa, you're the King of Britain? That is quite a Surprise. I would hardly imagine the King of Knights to be a little girl."

Back at the Trevelyan mansion...

Artoria: "Why do I feel personally attacked?"

Roy: "Is there something the matter, Artoria?"

Artoria: "No, it's nothing."

Roy: "Okay... Hey, Artoria. Tell me, why is there an influx of mana going around Fuyuki? Isn't it nighttime and lots of people sleeping?"

Artoria: "It means that they are already fighting."

Roy: "But why at night? This is really disturbing my sleep... Let's go."

Artoria: "Huh? Young Master, where are we going?"

Roy: "Where? Well, to the location of the fight. I want to ask them to continue this tomorrow."

Artoria: "Absolutely not!"

Roy: "But..."

Artoria: "I said no..." *sighs* "Here... You can sleep on my lap. If it makes you sleep better."

Roy: "Okay!"

Back at the docks...

As Iskandar, Saber, and Lancer were talking. A lot of other Servants mainly Archer and Berserker arrived from the shadows. Using the Assassin Servant to survey the whole fight Tokiomi and Kirei were talking about how bad it is right now.

Archer: "So, two lesser beings call themselves kings, even in my royal presence."

Iskandar: "I fail to see where the problem lies, Servant for I am Iskandar known as the legendary King of Conquerors known across the whole land."

Archer: "What nonsense, you're deluding yourself. I am the one true king of the world, all others are mongrels. Pretenders to the name."

Iskandar: "If you're so insistent to that, then why not name yourself? No true king would be troubled in giving his name to those who he challenges."

Archer: "So you would question me, mongrel? Me? The one true King?!"

He then taps his foot on top of the lamppost and it broke. After that, Berserker looks at Archer, and then Archer fired two of his Gates of Babylon at Berserker.

With a loud explosion and smoke covering the Berserker, Servant surprised the ones who witnessed Archer's power. As the smoke clears, Berserker was unscathed.

Lancer: "Good God... Is that trule Berserker?"

Iskandar: "For a madman who is completely devoid of soul and conscience. He's rather nimble."

Waver: "Huh?"

Iskandar: "Come now, couldn't you tell what he did? The black thing dodges and took the first thing that fired at him and used it to deflect the second spear."

Archer: "You dare lay your hands on my treasures? You must long a painful death. Cur!"

Archer then opened more Gates of Babylon and with that, it made Tokiomi more concerned by showing too much of his Noble Phantasm and that will make Archer's name exposed.

With no other choice, he called in Gilgamesh to retreat and he did it but with some problems. Later on, Berserker attacks the others but with the help of each Servant, they managed to defeat Berserker and retreated. With no other choices, the others retreated as well. First was Iskandar and Waver and the next group was Lancer and Kayneth. And finally, the ones left were Saber and Irisviel. The Assassin Servant had done its mission so they went back to report it,

As Regis explored the whole city looking for the whereabouts of Caster and his Master, he jumps from one building to another. Tracking down any signs of mana usage.

Regis: "Damn, I'm not anymore as young as I was a decade ago. I shouldn't be jumping off some buildings."

He sighs and used his vision to know more about the location but sadly there weren't any that would help him in his search instead what Regis saw was most disturbing. He almost threw up seeing the blood of children being used as sacrifices.

Regis: "Good Lord... Even we Trevelyans don't use children for sacrifice... but then again..."

He pricks his index finger and then created a small blood arrow and then aimed it at a rock. He fired the blood arrow and when the arrow made contact it exploded into tiny bits of blood.

Regis: "This isn't good... I just hope that THIS vision is a mistake..."

Regis continues to investigate the whole matter, there were leads, a lot of dead bodies and some of them had mana in them. When Regis jumped down in an alley, there were some people there and those were not normal people. They were being controlled by blood magic.

Regis: "So... They know that I'm coming for them, huh?"

Then Regis fished out his pocket and there was a ring and he puts it on and then summoned weapons from out of nowhere.

Similar to Archer's Gates of Babylon but it is limited, he took out a knife and sliced his palm and created a pool of blood, and created a rapier made out of blood.

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

Regis fired two of his weapons at those people or at this point zombies. And then he lunges at one of them and kills them. Then, Regis dodges an incoming attack and then fired one of his weapons again. He then threw the blood rapier and killed two people, then he took the battle-ax and swings it in a full circle killing those that surrounded him.

Regis fought most of them but they still keep on coming. More and more literally filled up the whole alleyway. Regis then slices off one of them and threw his weapon at the other but then there was one from behind and almost killed him but then...

*Bang*

Behind the zombie was none other than Kiritsugu Emiya holding his gun with smoke coming out of it.

Kiritsugu: "So, you're the Overseer. I gotta say, you have some style."

Regis: "And you are Saber's Master. Kiritsugu Emiya."

Regis then threw a spear towards Kiritsugu them he dodges it and then the spear hits the zombie instead.

Kiritsugu: "Nice shot."

Regis: "I have a good arm. Now then, is there something you need?"

Kiritsugu: "Yeah, about Assassin."

Regis: "Yes, I know... To be honest with you, I already knew. That Servant was... The assassin class... If I remember correctly, it can have many faces. Taking out one and the other appears."

Kiritsugu: "How did you know all this?"

Regis: "It's a long story."

~~

In the morning, both Roy and Artoria were training in combat and of course, Artoria was the one on the winning side, she parries all of Roy's attacks with ease making it too easy for her, and as for Roy, he was getting really frustrated with how he's losing to Artoria.

He strikes from above but then she deflected and then used the butt of the wooden sword and lunges it at Roy's stomach. Roy spits out saliva and tries to get back up but couldn't.

Artoria: "Was that all? You can't be able to protect anyone let alone yourself if you don't toughen up!"

Inside the manor, two maids were seeing what is happening.

Maid 1: "I-is the young Master going to be okay?"

Maid 2: "I don't know but it seems that this Artoria is both a scary and caring person."

Maid 1: "What makes you say that ?"

Maid 2: "Well, I seem to notice that the Young Master smiles a lot when she's around."

Maid 1: "Hmm... I never noticed that, wait... Does that mean that the Young Master likes Artoria?"

Maid 2: "It would seem so, shame really."

Maid 1: "Uh... Why?"

Maid 2: "I'd like him to marry one of my daughters instead. I'd like to have him as my son too..."

Maid 1: "Sheesh, you and your fantasies. I mean come on just look at her. Those chests of hers bounce every moves she makes, then that blonde hair and that beautiful face, and lastly those hips would be good for childbearing..."

Then Albert overheard their conversation.

Albert: "Are you two ladies finished with your work?"

Maid 2: "Oh, Sir Albert. Yes, we are sir. Just taking in a breather."

Albert: "I see, so. What were you two talking about? Does it concern with the Young Master?"

Maid 2: "Well, something like that. We were wondering how Master Trevelyan even met such a woman?"

Albert: "She's a Servant in this Holy Grail War. Mistress Trevelyan did tell you this, didn't she?"

Maids: "Ah, yes."

Albert: "Sadly, Servants like her couldn't do anything any normal humans do. Eat, sleep, etc. Etc. They couldn't do that. Childbearing is out of the picture as well."

Maid 1: "I see."

Maid 2: "Oh~ I see. Well, It looks like one of my daughters can have a chance!"

Maid 1: "Both Flora and Felicia? Hmm, probably."

Outside the forest, both Saber and Irisviel are enjoying a peaceful walk after what happened last night down at the docks. As they walk, Saber looks at her wrist. It wasn't anymore bleeding but it still hurts her hand.

Irisviel: "I'm so sorry for not healing you properly, Saber. I wish I could though, what kind of Master am I if I can't be able to fully heal my Servant?"

Saber: "Oh, This is nothing a knight can handle. So, there's nothing for you to worry about. I can make do even with this condition."

Then, as they walk closer to the entrance to the forest, Saber felt another Servant's energy and took out her sheathed Excalibur.

Irisviel: "Saber, is it a Servant?"

Saber: "Yes. Stick close to me, Irisviel."

Irisviel: "R-right."

Inside the forest, Artoria was already wiping the sweat and dirt off of Roy's face when she too felt a Servant's presence.

Artoria: "Young Master, stay inside. It would seem that we have an uninvited guest."

Roy: "Huh? If that's the case we can just ask them to leave, right? I mean aren't you and Father neutral with this?"

Artoria: "Yes, but there is a possibility that they didn't come here just for tea and cookies."

She took out her lance -The Rhongomyniad- and puts on her armor and then a magic circle appeared next to Artoria and her horse, Dun Stallion.

Roy: "Whoa... Wait, Artoria! Let me help you. I know this forest much better than anyone here!"

Artoria: "No, I can handle this!"

Roy: "No! I'm coming with you! I can lay traps here and we can-"

Artoria: "I said NO!"

Roy: "But..."

Artoria: "The Master would be heartbroken to know if you were taken and got hurt by the enemy. Stay right there, got it?"

Roy: "...Fine..."

Artoria rodes off then wore her helmet, Roy sighed and started climbing on top of the tree branches and then started jumping from one branch to another.

Roy: 'I'm not going to sit around while you'll get hurt! Artoria!'

Saber and Irisviel entered the forest and then looked around and kept their guard up. Then Saber looked up and saw Artoria in full armor and then Dun Stallion neighed.

Artoria: "Halt, Trespassers!"

Saber: "Irisviel, get behind me!"

She did as she was told and Saber looks at Artoria, she then realized what she's holding. It was none other than Rhongomyniad. As for Artoria (L), she too recognizes what Saber is holding -The Excalibur-

Artoria: "I will give you a warning, Saber. Leave this forest."

Irisviel: "How can there be two Lancers, Saber?"

Saber: "I don't know. Regardless, we have to defeat her."

Irisviel: "Agreed."

Artoria: "If you don't want to leave then I guess there is no other choice. En garde!"

She spurred Dun Stallion and then jumps down, Saber is at a disadvantage since she's on foot while Artoria is on a horse. Irisviel went to a safe distance and Artoria lunges the lance on Saber which she tried to deflect it and was successful but without being scratched.

Saber then swings her sword upward and then was blocked by Artoria's lance, she then attacks Dun Stallion and was successful but only scratching the horse which was enough to go wild, Artoria jumps out of Dun Stallion and then lunges Rhongomyniad while she's on the air and then Saber tries to deflect or block it but was pushed back from the force.

Saber then dodges the attack and then slashes horizontally which dealt a huge blow to Artoria but thankfully she was wearing her armor and not her normal clothes (the suit and tie). As they fight, Saber got the upper hand and she lunges and parries the attacks from Artoria. Artoria then blocks and deflects all of her strikes but then a strong blow from Saber got her down to the ground.

Saber: "This is the end!"

As Saber swings Excalibur she was interrupted by someone throwing a rock to her armor. Irisviel, Saber, and Artoria looked to where the rock was thrown and saw Roy covered with sweat and out of breath.

Roy: "I'm not letting you hurt Lancer!"

Irisviel: "A child?"

Saber: "This is Lancer's Master...?"

Artoria: "Young Master! Get away from here now!"

Roy: "I won't abandon you! I'm not going to let them take you away from me!"

Roy then stabs himself with a knife, this made the three ladies horrified while Roy just teared up and then summoned a blood sword.

Irisviel: "Blood magic..."

Saber: "Maleficarum."

Roy then lunges at Saber with incredible speed and Saber blocks it but the power from Roy's lunge was two times stronger since he too was using enhance magic. As Roy swings his blood sword apparently Saber was on the losing end and then Roy threw the sword and then punched Saber but then nothing happened. The aura around Roy was now gone, which means his enhanced magic is now gone.

Roy: "No! I was so close!"

Saber took this as a good opening and was about to use the butt of Excalibur's handle to attack Roy but was blocked by Artoria.

Artoria: "I am not going to let you hurt the Young Master!"

Roy: "Lancer!"

Artoria then punches Saber really hard and that made her spit out saliva and flew towards a tree and was knocked out unconscious. Roy then took out his knife again.

Irisviel: "Saber!"

She was about to go to her but then Artoria stopped her.

Irisviel: "No..."

Then Roy pricks his fingers making him tear up again but was able to generate blood and then he made her drink his blood healing her completely not even the Saber-class was able to recover from her injuries from the other Lancer and from Artoria.

Irisviel: "Huh?"

Artoria: "There is no need to worry, she is safe now. The battle is over."

Irisviel: "Then I admit defeat."

Saber opens her eyes and saw Roy crying in front of her.

Roy: *tears* "Hey... Are you okay...?"

Saber: "Why... would you help an enemy...?"

Roy: *tears* "Because... we aren't enemies..."

Roy then fell unconscious from using too much mana in creating and healing Saber, he fell on top of Saber which she caught him before he actually hits her.

Artoria: "Why don't we go to the mansion and we can relax while waiting for him to wake up?"

Irisviel: "Sure... Wait, why do you sound like Saber?"

She took off her helmet and there it was Saber's face but in Lancer form.

Artoria: "Because. We're the same person."

Saber: "So I was right... You really are me."

Then Irisviel started comparing the two of them and especially at their chests. Looking at Artoria's chest makes her a bit conscious

Irisviel: "Saber... Will you ever get too stacked?"

Saber: "What do you mean by too stacked?"

Saber gives Roy over to Artoria and they went to the mansion where Alfred and the rest of the maids and butlers treated them with hospitality, there Artoria (L) explained to both Irisviel and Saber about Regis and how he summoned a Servant. Both of them immediately apologized.

Saber and Irisviel: "We're so sorry for the misunderstanding!"

Artoria: "It is quite alright. I'm sure you were expecting for Servants to manifest into seven. To be honest, I don't even know how the Grail granted another Servant but here we are."

Saber: "Then why are you here? Shouldn't you be helping your real Master?"

Artoria: "My real Master is a strong mage, he doesn't need me for the time being. But when he encounters both Caster and his Master then he will call for me."

Irisviel: "Why? Did something happen with Caster and his Master?"

Artoria: "They went rogue."

Roy later woke up and was later reprimanded by Artoria but was only given some talking and he went away scotfree. Roy apologized to both Saber and Irisviel and in turn also apologized. Later on, all four of them were outside at the gazebo eating snacks and drinking tea while Roy was drawing.

Irisviel: "What you got there?"

Roy: "Hmm? Oh, this? It's you, Saber, and Lancer. See!"

He showed her a picture of stickmen and Irisviel thought of it as a compliment instead of laughing.

Irisviel: "Good job!"

Roy: "Thank you!"

Roy continues to draw while Irisviel just looks at him and felt something missing in her chest.

Irisviel: 'I hope that Illya and Kiritsugu will one day do this... Just relaxing outside in this peaceful time...'
