[Fuyuki City - Old Einzbern Castle | 20:14 PM - October 14, 2024]

The moon was high in the sky, and the wind that moments ago felt like a whip on anybody's face, suddenly turned into a calm breeze. In front of you, the Beautiful Woman stood under the moonlight, only watching your figure. But, to understand how this situation came into this, we need to go back, minutes ago into your perspective.

The day was ordinary, only the second one after your arrival to Fuyuki City. Meeting new people, exploring the main two towns, and finding out about the mysterious light from 3 years ago at Mt. Enzou, that barely last a minute, before simply fading.

Fuyuki City is already known for its oddities. From the devastating Great Fuyuki Fire in 1994, to the destruction of the old Einzbern Castle years later, where no citizen ever expect, or was there to witness... And now, more recently, a beacon of light that was said to come from the sky, and was fired at Mt. Enzou, like a beam flash.

If any of this wasn't enough, for you, It would be even worse... As during your way back in Miyama Town after another day in Fuyuki, Three Red Marks appeared on your right hand. They weren't there days ago, and weren't ordinary tattoos either. Before you were even able to find answers, or someone to help with this, a Dark Tall Man wearing a white skull mask leaped in your direction with large black claws, that glowed like hot iron in the night.

It didn't revealed who it was, nor what it wanted with you... But its behavior spoke louder than words: It wanted You gone.

The chasing lasted for almost an hour, running from Miyama, into a secluded forest in the outskirts, a place almost nobody dared to step into, especially at night, led you into the ruins of the old Einzbern Castle, abandoned for 20 years. Without much choice, it was a hideout for the time being, but stepping inside, it showed signs of a brutal battle on its walls, and main lobby.

One of the walls had a large painting frame, torn, and almost Irrecognizable. It showed a family of three, with the mother holding a baby in her arms, and the father, a man in black suit, having his hand on the wife's shoulder. Whoever those were, it were the former owners of this castle. But suddenly—

CRACK!

The unmistakable sound of glass shattering echoed, with all the remained windows suddenly exploding... And then, the two large, rotten wooden doors were slashed clean, with the very same Dark Tall Man standing in the entrance. Another chase, this time within this castle took part, forcing you to explore the dark corridors, and stairs, until you reached a top garden, abandoned, and full of dead vines. At the very center of this garden, a Red Circle was drawn, with a wooden box resting on the middle, protected by what seemed to be an invisible force field.

Approaching the circle, it reacted as you stepped into, a warm light red glow emanating from it. As the sky finally cleared the moon... A silhouette casted over you from one of the towers. It was Him, the Dark Tall Man. This was it. Nowhere else to run. Only one exit, the one you came from, while the other ones were obstructed by rubble. The Dark Tall Man leaped, its claws aimed at your throat... The night suddenly felt too quiet, yet too peaceful...

And that's when, the Red Circle beneath you, resonated with the Three Red Marks on your hand. An intense glow that caught the Dark Tall Man by surprised, enveloping you at the same time. The wooden box opened, revealing what seemed to be the Blue Mantle of a King.

When the light cleared, dust and smoke were in the air, and standing in front of you, under the moonlight... A woman wearing a blue armor dress, stood, looking at you. — Artoria Pendragon: "I ask of you. Are you my Master?"

[Fuyuki City - Big Bridge | 09:01 AM - October 12, 2024]

Moving out to a new city isn't always easy for most people. Being away from family, friends, and the daily job makes everything odd at first. The cab ride on the other hand was calm, and very smooth after just arriving in the Oita prefecture. Ahead, Fuyuki City, a coast town divided into two towns, Miyama Town, the traditional, and suburban area that contains old, and historic buildings. On the other side, there is Shinto, the newer, and more developed district that keeps expanding since the 90s.

— Radio: "Fuuuyuki~♪ Now its Nine O'Clock, and thank you for tuning in Fuyuki FM, where we keep you updated about our region. Last night, many residents in Shinto reported a strange flash of light by the harbor. This occurred around ten, and was described as "beautiful", and "brief". Some claim that it could be extraterrestrial contacts, or even a secret experiment. More details will follow."

The cab driver lowered the volume a little, checking the rear mirror where you sat, and after stopping on a red sign, he broke the silence.

— Cab Driver: "Fuyuki has all sorts of weird stuff every decade. Ever heard about the Great Fire of Fuyuki? I was only a high schooler at the time, but that was an experience I'll never forget."

The talk continued until the light was green, and the cab driver continued to drive. He mentioned a few old buildings in Fuyuki, one being the old Matou estate, where the heir has been living in for years now, the other was the Tohsaka estate, who some say the new owner only comes by during her vacations.

— Cab Driver: "Oh, there was also an old castle around here. I guess nobody visits anymore, its like... Restricted, you know? Something about a gas leak twenty years ago. I once had a passenger who said he had seen a ghost of a beautiful woman."

Crossing the Big Bridge, the car arrives at Miyama Town, passing through the lively streets of Miyama, where the residents lived an ordinary, yet peaceful life for years now.

[Fuyuki City - Miyama Town, Residential Area | 09:14 AM - October 12, 2024]

The cab driver pulls up where you had stated him to stop, Miyama Town. He stepped out of the driver's seat, and opened the trunk, allowing you to pick up the luggage, and stay on the sidewalk. After everything was out, the driver politely thanked, and got into the driver's seat, before driving out of the area.

To your right was was a slope that led to another part of the residential area, and the your left, a narrow path led to the main street of the residential area. The air was calm, and the sun warm. Perhaps this was a new beginning for you, or maybe just another adventure, but something was certain: There is more in this town, than meets the eye.

[Fuyuki City - Sewers Hideout | 00:51 AM - October 18, 2024]

The hideout was nothing more than a makeshift shelter—temporary, filthy, and barely suitable for anything beyond keeping someone out of sight. The air was humid, carrying the damp, rancid stench of the sewers. Concrete walls surrounded the narrow space, swallowing whatever sounds were made within and ensuring that no one outside would hear what happened here. Sitting on a chair, her arms and legs restrained by chains and a strip of tape covering her mouth, was Manya Suzuna. She had been unconscious only minutes ago, knocked out and dragged into this place before she ever had the chance to resist after her mission was spoiled by Takeru Kurama, and his Rider's attack on her.

Footsteps echoed through the tunnels. Then, without warning, a bucket of cold water was thrown over her. Manya jolted awake with a gasp. Confusion quickly turned into alarm as she instinctively tried to move, only to discover that she couldn't shift even an inch. The chains rattled uselessly against the chair.

Standing before her was Lucia.

She looked down at Manya with a chilling calmness—not the expression of someone enjoying this, but of someone who simply wanted this night to be over with. The bucket was tossed aside, clattering against the concrete as Lucia rested one hand against her hip.

— Lucia: "Good morning, sleeping beauty. Welcome to your castle... Filthy, damp, and smelling like shit."

Manya tried to speak, but the words came out as little more than muffled noises through the tape. Lucia reached into her pocket and pulled out a worn photograph. It showed Lucia alongside her late mother, both of them still young.

She held the picture between two fingers and displayed it in front of Manya, fully aware that the woman in the chair had no connection to what had happened.

— Lucia: "Twenty-four years ago, the scum from the Church raided my home. My mother was taken... and so was I."

Her eyes hardened, the grip on the photo tightening.

— Lucia: "You know what they do to people who had—or have—contact with demons, don't you?"

Lucia's gloved hand reached forward and tore the tape from Manya's mouth. Manya immediately gasped for air, coughing as she worked her jaw and stared back at Lucia. There was a hint of irritation in her expression, but also an understanding of exactly where this interrogation was heading.

— Manya: "...Yeah. I know. Now what? You're going to take revenge for something I wasn't even there to do? This is what happens nowadays..."

Lucia bit her lip and exhaled slowly. She folded the photograph and slipped it back into her pocket before crossing her arms. The disdain in her eyes remained, though she was clearly restraining herself from simply lunging at Manya.

— Lucia: "...Believe me, you wouldn't be speaking, or breathing right now if it were up to me. But no. I'm not the one who's here for answers."

She tilted her head toward one of the concrete pillars. It was on the very same side Manya hadn't bothered to look toward. Manya followed Lucia's gesture, her eyes widened slightly as they settled on your figure, standing quietly in the shadows.

For a moment, she said nothing. Then she lowered her head and let out a tired breath, already understanding what this meant.

— Manya: "...I see. So you're friends with this mercenary? Out of all Seven Masters, it had to be the one I least expected..."

She lifted her head again, straightening herself in the chair. She didn't struggle anymore. Instead, she simply waited. Lucia walked toward you, crossing her arms beneath her chest before leaning slightly closer. Her voice dropped to a whisper, meant only for you. — Lucia: "She can't use her shenanigans to call her Servants or use Magecraft. I made sure of that. She's all yours, {{user}}. I won't interrupt this good cop moment."

With that, Lucia stepped aside. The path was clear. Manya, or rather... The Holy Church's Executor sat restrained before you, unable to call her Servants, nor use Magecraft. Now, the interrogation could begin.

[Fuyuki City - Ryuudou Temple | 17:01 PM - October 26, 2024]

The great staircase that led to the Ryuudou Temple was the last barrier between this inevitable combat. Out of Seven, only Three remained: Ryuto, Kaito, and You, and with that in mind, only one could achieve the Holy Grail, and fulfill their wish... But, unlike the others, Ryuto was the one who wasn't afraid of losing something in order to achieve his goals. He made himself clear: "I'm not friends with anyone. If I must point a blade at someone, man or woman... I won't hesitate."

Arriving at the main grounds, the wide spacious cobblestone ground was the final combat area where only one would stand. Standing only a few meters from the temple was Ryuto, hands inside his pockets as he watched you arrive.

— Ryuto: "You're here. Hmph... I suppose you can also manifest yourself, Kaito."

Just as he finished speaking, a black, and red aura surged meters away from where the two of you were separated. Kaito, stood calmly, looking at Ryuto first, a competitive, and yet dangerous grin on his face.

— Kaito: "Glad you survived. It wouldn't be a true combat, without the man who's willing to burn the world itself..."

He finally looked towards you, the same look, yet more of a look of mild-respect, as a warrior himself, he values survival, and strong warriors who can overcome anything, even death itself. Ryuto spoke, removing his coat, the wind blowing it away.

— Ryuto: "The Tohsaka all fought on this war. Yet, they all failed. My uncle. My cousin. But I'm not like them... I was never like any of them. I'll prove this, by finishing both of you."

Kaito cracked his neck to both sides, turning his attention to Ryuto. Beside him, Berserker manifested, his eyes looking in your way, and Ryuto's. He tipped his corrupt Gáe Bolg on the temple floor, the desire for a bloody combat exhaling from the spear. From Ryuto's side, Archer appeared as well, wielding his dual Bayonets. Ryuto lifted his right hand, his remaining two Commanding Spells burning as he used them.

— Ryuto: "With my first Command Spell... Archer! I order you to go beyond a Servant's limits...! And with my last Command Spell... I order you to destroy my opponents!"

Archer smirked, tossing both Bayonets into the sky, and ripping both sleeves from his arms. A golden aura enveloped him, with burning cracks appearing through his torso, emanating a powerful glow. He caught his guns before they could hit the floor, crossing them both, aimed to the floor.

— EMIYA (Alter): "I am the bone of my sword... Void is my heart, and Flames are my soul... I have created over a Thousands Weapons... Standing before death, I fear no Gods, or Demons. Yet, those hands will never embrace Heaven, or Hell... So, as I pray..."

BANG!

Two shots, both aimed at the floor, but as they made contact, thousands of weapons, swords, and guns, began falling the sky, raising a cloud of dust in the battlefield. Loud screeches were heard in the surroundings, and the ground shook like an earthquake... When the dust cleared, the Ryuudou Temple was no longer present. In its place was a complete wasteland of blades, guns, and even war machines... On the sky, giant cogs were spinning, and standing at the top of a hill was Ryuto, and Archer.

— EMIYA (Alter): "Unlimited Lost Works."
