Chapter 6

xxx

"Where do you think you're taking Rin?!" Kairya said as he stepped in front of two people.

He recognized both of them as the Master of the second Archer and the other being the Master of Rider. He realized that in terms of physical strength he couldn't match to the Einzbern's homunculus, hell he bet he probably couldn't take on the kid. However he'd be damned if he'd let Rin go off with two enemy Masters.

As Kairya attempted to summon his ring worms, the girl he came to save ran into view. Rin stared at him for a minute.

"Kairya Oji-san?" Rin said uncertain about the appearance of the man in front of her.

Kairya stopped the summoning process as his eyes widened as Rin continued to stare at him. He gave the young girl a smile and a small wave.

"Hey Rin-chan, don't worry Oji-san is gonna take you back to your mom." Kairya said before he grab onto his dead arm, as it began to swing around a bit, and held it still. "Ahh don't worry I'm just a little sick."

Kairya then began to walk towards them, but Irisviel put herself between Rin and Kairya.

"I don't know what you're planning but I won't let you near this girl." She said as she narrowed her eyes at him.

Kairya scowled at her before a swarm of bladed crest worms appeared behind him causing Irisviel and Waver to back up.

However before the Mage could do anything, the bodies of three Assassins smashed through the wall right between Kairya, Irisviel, and Waver. This caused Kairya to jump back to the top of the stairs while Irisviel and Waver pushed Rin and the rest of the unconscious children to the back of the wall at bottom right the stairs.

Nobody could react as Caster was the next to go flying out of the giant hole made by the Assassins. Black metal hands grabbed a hold of the side of the broken wall as Berserker came out of the hole as well. The mad servant than turned to Irisviel and Waver as the two of them stared, frozen in terror, as Berserker turned to them.

However luckily another of the Assassin jumped on his back causing Berserker's attention to focus on the servant of murder. Irisviel knew that they couldn't waste this opportunity.

"Come on help me get them inside!" Irisviel yelled as she lifted two of the children onto her back and ran into the now destroyed room, as Waver, who also held two, and Rin, who had Kotone on hers, ran after her.

The Assassin on Berserker's back pulled a dagger from out of nowhere and attempted to plunge it into the exposed part between Berserker's collarbone and shoulder. However before he could, Berserker grabbed the hand and crushed both Assassin's hand and the dagger, Assassin howled in pain as the broken pieces of the dagger pierced his broken hand, causing blood to squirt out of Berserkers hand staining his gauntlet. Berserker than smashed Assassin to the floor before proceeding to stomp on his face, Assassin's skull caved in as his brains, blood and bone were forcefully squeezed out of his head like clay.

As Berserker pulled his foot out of Assassin's, no longer recognizable, head the servant immediately looked up as he caught a large tentacle monster aimed at his head. Berserker crushed a part of it as blood oozed out of the monstrosity, however he was pulled of the ground as Caster, who was atop the building across from them, retracted the long tentacle and than summoned another one that smashed Berserker back into the ground.

Berserker than let out a large howl as his armor glowed a sort of red before grabbing the large monster and tearing it out of the portal that it was summoned from before tearing it apart.

Caster than summoned more and launched them at Berserker all at once. Berserker, covered from head to toe in them, backed up a bit before tearing them from his armor. However Caster just kept summoning more faster than Berserker could get rid of.

"Berserker!" Kairya yelled before falling to his knees and proceeded to cough up blood. This fight was beginning to drag on and Berserker was attempting to use his full strength, if this went on longer than he would die and than...

He imagined the small black haired girl with a ribbon that decorated side of her hair like a beautiful painting Then he saw her give him the most beautiful smile. A smile that made him feel love for her despite the fact that she wasn't his. Even with that fact she still made him wish to protect that smile. Than the image changed...she's no longer smiling, her purple hair is somehow more darker in his mind than her previous black hair, that old bastard Zouken is behind her, grinning at the fact that no matter what Kairya did he would never be able to truly save her. She had seen to much, had endured to much. She would never truly be saved...

no

No

NO

NO!

He refused to believe such bullshit! He would save Rin from the two Magi and then save Sakura from the old worm. He would reunite the sisters with their mother and send them so far away that the world of magi nor Tokiomi would never be able to find them. Until that day came he couldn't rest, he wouldn't allow himself to.

Kairya pushed himself from the ground, wiping the blood from his lips.

Than the arrows came.

They rained down upon Berserker piercing through all the monsters covering him. Kairya looked up only to see a flying chariot ram itself into Caster, knocking him into the ground. The chariot than smashed itself into the small alleyway smashing into a lot of buildings. Kairya than saw two people in the chariot who he recognized: The second Archer and Rider.

Archer jumped out of the chariot first and headed straight for Caster, who was just now getting on his feet.

"Quick! Keep them both off balance! Let's end this quickly!" Archer yelled at Rider, who nodded and with simple snap of the reins the chariot took off into towards Caster as well destroying anything in his path.

"This. Is. Not. COOL!" Caster yelled before he gave a sinister grin. Than the ground opened up. Large tentacles wrapped around Archer, Rider (plus his chariot), and Berserker. They than threw the three servants across the alleyway.

Kairya took this as an opportunity to follow after the people who took Rin. He descended the steps and looked through the hole to find three things.

The Master of the second Archer gone.

The Master of Rider holding broken piece of wood standing in front of the now-conscious children.

and lastly the Master of Caster holding a scalpel up to Rin's throat.

Waver hated the situation that he found himself in as he and the Homunculus grabbed the children and ran back into the store once they realized that the store was empty again and that trying to escape back through the alley was suicidal. The war hadn't turned out at all like he imagined. He expected it to be a battle royal between Magi using familiars, not a bloodbath involving Madmen and Monsters. Not to mention his 'servant' didn't act like a servant at all and ignored him most of the time. Not to mention he spent most of his time watching tv or get this, playing video games!

The great King of Conquerors Iskander, the man who defeated the Persian empire...was a gamer.

Waver sighed as he entered the store, he and Irisviel placed the still unconscious children against the wall near the door. Waver stood up and brushed himself off, that's when he heard Rin's blood curdling scream. Looking at Rin Waver saw she had a horrified look on her face as she looked at something behind him.

When Waver turned around he had to fight the urge to vomit. Irisviel could only clench her teeth and fist at the scene before them.

The children that Waver and Irisviel couldn't save were littered all around the destroyed bar. Well more like pieces of them were. One kid had been split in half at the waist, with her top half near the back of the room while her bottom half was near the bar. Another kid looked like meat that was tenderized by a giant mallet. Others looked like they had been chewed on, others were just smears on the walls and floor.

Waver than looked at Rin after swallowing the bile back down his throat. He noticed she was still staring at the carnage. Waver didn't know what to do, but he couldn't let a child continue to be in the same room as this. Waver looked at Irisviel who's expression was stuck between disgust and shame. She than turned around and grabbed Rin's hand, which startled the young girl, before heading towards the destroyed doorway that lead to the back of the store.

Waver continued to stare even when they vanished from his sight. It surprised him that a homunculus could make such an expression. Everything he read told him that homunculus should be nothing more than emotionless servants that did nothing more than follow whatever their master ordered them to do. However this one seemed to be able to think and feel on her own. He thought back to fifteen minutes early when she had healed them both and the smile she gave him. It was a very pretty smile.

Waver felt his cheeks get a little hot when the thought crossed his mind as he coughed into his hand.

'What am I thinking about now of all times!' Waver scolded himself in his head. He picked up one of the kids as he heard the battle out side rage on.

'Have to get these guys away from here.' Waver thought as he carried one of the children towards the hole in the back of the room that Irisviel and Rin disappeared through. Before he could step through he heard a gasp from Irisviel and saw as Irisviel and Rin walked backwards back through the door, Irisviel's arm held up to Shield Rin. What followed caused Waver's eyes to widen. Ryuunosuke walked through the destroyed doorway.

"If it isn't the Party poopers!" Ryuunosuke said in an Irritated voice before he looked at the bodies of the dead children before letting out a moan of sadness. "They were going to be so beautiful. Now look at them! This! This all your fault! If you hadn't interrupted I would been able to show the beauty of the children!" Ryuunosuke screamed his insane rant.

The insane madman then looked towards the children that were still alive. He than gave a sinister grin that caused shiver to run down Waver's spine.

"At least I still have some material left." Ryuunosuke said before turning towards the remaining children. However Waver and Irisviel moved in front of him. Waver placed the child in his arms back against the wall.

"Ehhh! You both are still trying to ruin my fun!" Ryuunosuke exclaimed as he placed his hand on his head before pulling out his scalpel.

Waver and Irisviel tensed as Irisviel positioned herself to intercept the blade and incapacitate the Master of Caster. Waver also squared up placing his fist in front of him, however seeing as he's never fought before it looked pretty awkward.

Ryuunosuke grinned at them as Waver caught the bracelet around his wrist give a blue glow.

Before Waver could think he, Rin, and Irisviel felt something tackle them from behind. They looked behind them as the children had somehow woken up and were now running into them from behind. Taking a closer look the look in the glazed look in the children's eyes and their unfocused stair, like they weren't really aware, or awake for that matter, of what they were doing.

Waver turned around and looked at the bracelet that Ryuunosuke had around his wrist. It was a plain smooth that looked like it was made with silver by the looks of it. However it had a blue glow to it that lit up the small dark room. Waver could feel the prana coming out of it, and judging by the fact that after the small accessory began glowing the children began to wake up and tried to restrain them, Waver had a good idea what was causing this.

Looking over at Irisviel, Waver noticed that she wasn't resisting the children at all.

'You realize this man wants to cut us into little tiny bits right!? Come on use those moves like last time and get us out of this!' Waver thought frantic as another kid latched onto his leg. Then something flickered in the corner of his eye, looking at the source, Waver saw two small glowing strands of string trail from Irisviel's finger tips and made their way in between her and Waver and snaked across the floor and began trailing up Ryuunosuke's pants. Waver noticed that they were going up the side that had the bracelet on it.

'Seems I'm not the only one who noticed the bracelet.'

Waver was so mesmerized by the whole thing that he failed to realize that he was now making it obvious he was staring at something. This caused Ryuunosuke to follow Waver's gaze and saw the strings just as they were about to reach his wrist.

"What the-!?" He started before he was interrupted by a loud voice.

"Let them go you huge pervert!" Rin yelled startling all three of the adults, before head bunting the kid that had a hold of her, releasing her. Rin gave a huge "I'm sorry!" and then took this chance to run to Ryuunosuke before tackling his arm.

"What this, this is the first time I've had a volunteer. I promise you'll feel so much better as a pretty painting." Ryuunosuke said with a voice and smile that held no malice, just undeniable madness.

Rin then gripped his wrist before her hand began to glow a bright blue. Waver then noticed that the arm that she was holding onto was the one that had the bracelet on it.

"Hey! What are you doing!? Stop that! Let go!" Ryuunosuke yelled before taking his other hand and tried to push the little girl away. Unfortunately nothing he did could stop Rin from accomplishing her goal as the bracelet began to crack and eventually shattered. This caused him to scream in pain as shards of the bracelet stabbed into his arm.

Suddenly all the kids that were alive woke up and began to sob as they found themselves in a strange place without their parents. Waver and Irisviel placed themselves in front of the children while Waver attempted to calm them down.

"Yes!" Rin shouted with pride before a horrifying realization dawned on her: She was still in Ryuunosuke's grip. She looked up at him and noticed that he was staring at her with one single emotion: hate.

"You!" Ryuunosuke snarled at her.

"Rin!" Irisviel shouted and attempted to close the distance between herself and those two. However before she could take the next step, Ryuunosuke grabbed Rin across the chest and held his scalpel to her throat.

"Ah Ah Ah! Now we don't want poor little Rin-chan hurt right?" A sick smile grew on his face as he stared at Irisviel and Waver.

"Bastard!" Irisviel said as she clenched her teeth and made a fist. She then decided to hopefully use her alchemy to disarm Ryuunosuke and grab Rin.

However it was not to be as something grabbed her from behind.

"Waver!" She screamed as everyone looked onward as they saw one of the Assassins grab her and muttered:

"Mission accomplished."

Then they vanished as though they were never there in the first place.

"Irisviel!" Waver yelled out in vain.

"Hmmm! It seems the heavy hitter is out. Now what will you do no Party-pooper!" Ryuunosuke yelled at Waver causing him to jump.

'I should run! There's no point in me staying here! She's a goner I should just take the kids I have and run!.' Waver thought as a scared expression made its way onto his face. However before his feet could he glanced at Rin. Her eyes widened in fear as tears threatened to spill. With just that glance Waver found himself unable to move. His face took on a more angry expression and he picked up a piece of wood from one of the destroyed tables or chairs and he held it in front of him.

'I don't know why but I can't just leave her here. Not with someone like him!' Waver thought determined to save Rin, but there was just one thing that was stopping him.

'How do I get close to him without getting Rin killed?!' Waver thought.

However a solution to his problem came in the form of the man who claimed to be Rin's. Ryuunosuke flinched as Kariya, unnoticed by Ryuunosuke, grabbed the blade of the scalpel and shouted.

"You bastard!" Kariya shouted before biting Ryuunosuke's ear off.

"Gah!!" The serial killer screamed in pain.

Waver took this opportunity to grab Rin and shoved her behind him with the other kids. Kariya then lifted his hands toward Ryuunosuke and hundreds of bladed crest worms surrounded him.

"What! What is this!" Ryuunosuke yelled in fear as the wing worms began to cut in to his flesh and eat him alive. Waver did his best to cover to block the view from the kids. He shivered as he heard the sound of The Master of Caster screamed as he was being eaten alive.

Once the sounds ceased Waver looked back and nearly vomited at sight of Ryuunosuke Uryuu's mangled corpse and the sound of the Wing worms still eating him. Waver had to turn away and looked at The Master of Berserker as he opened his palm and revealed that the scalpel had dug into his hand and was now bleeding. However if Kariya was pain he didn't show it as he looked towards Waver as he pulled the blade out and raised the bloody appendage towards Waver.

'Oh no.' Waver thought as he began shaking in terror and stepped back, bumping into the kids. The Wing worms then began to fly off of Ryuunosuke's half eaten body and floated towards Waver. However before they could reach their target, Rin stepped in front of Waver. This caused the mutilated magus' eyes to widen and he ordered the worms to stop.

"Rin move." Kariya ordered his niece. Rin vigorously shook her head. "Rin move!" he ordered again, this time with more anger in his voice.

"Oji-san, please he saved me." She pleaded to him, trying to convince him to not attack Waver. Unfortunately Kariya wasn't listening, all he could see was an enemy magus, one that could hurt Rin if he did nothing. He just needed his niece to listen to him and move.

"Rin mo-!?" Kariya was about to yell again, before being cut of by a scream of horror.

"OOOOHHHH NOOO! MY DEAR RYUUNOSUKE! NOOOO! NOT MY RYUUNOSUKE!" Standing in the giant hole in the wall was Caster staring at the dead body of his master. Before anyone could do anything, Caster looked at the sky before screaming:

"Is this your will!? Is this what you wanted!? My poor Ryuunosuke was the main act and you stole him from me! You truly are cruel!" Caster screamed at the sky before looking back at the humans inside.

"Who was it! Was it you! Or you!" Caster streamed pointing at them. Caster then pulled his book of spells from his robes and opened it. However before he could utter a single word. Archer came around and attacked the heroic spirit. This caused Caster to dodge. He landed on a building before yelling out.

"I swear you will pay, you will all pay for your crimes! So swear Gilles de Rais!" Caster screamed before vanishing into blue mist.

"Whelp that takes of one problem." Archer muttered before he saw Berserker jump up In the air with an enchanted light pole and aimed at him. Archer blocked the attack with Kanshou and Bakuya. Quickly he looked at Kariya and said:

"Master of Berserker, call off your dog. I wish to make a deal." He grunted as he held the light pole between his blades. Kariya stared at him with suspicion. Archer said something that caused his eyes to widen.

"It is about the Tohsaka being held prisoner in the Matou mansion." Archer yelled.

Kariya looked shock before glaring at the servant of the bow.

"How do you know about that." Kariya shouted at Archer.

"I'll tell you but I can't with this guy trying to bludgeon me to death!"

Kariya only stared for a moment before feeling something tug on his pants. He saw Rin looking up at him pleading for the nightmare to be over. Kariya stared at her for a second longer before letting out a sigh. The wing worms disappeared in an instant.

"Berserker stop." Kariya commanded, however the servant of madness kept on attacking Archer. Lifting his hand Kariya spoke again.

"Berserker stop attacking!" Kariya ordered once more, his second command seal fading away. Berserker suddenly stopped his assault on Archer. Letting out a sigh Archer rolled his shoulders, before he looked around the destroyed building before noticing something off.

"Where is she?" He asked looking at Waver with narrowed eyes. Waver let out a small gulp knowing exactly who he was talking about.

"She was taken." Was his answer

"Who?"

"It was Assassin." Waver answered.

Archer closed his eyes, letting out a growl. "Damn." He said before turning his back to the group. Preparing to leave.

"Wait!" Kairya called out causing Archer to stop. "You said you had something to say about Sakura, I want to know what you meant."

All Archer did was slightly turn his head before speaking.

"Tomorrow night under the bridge I'll meet you there." Was all he said before heading off in the direction of the church, leaving Waver alone with Berserker and his Master, not to mention a bunch of scared kids.

"Whelp that could've gone better." A gruff voice said next to Waver, causing the boy to snap his head to the location of the voice.

"Rider?! Where were you idiot!" Waver yelled at his servant. All Rider did was look at Waver up and down, before giving him a look of approval.

"Ha I always knew you had the spirit of a warrior in you boy! HaHa!" Rider laughed as patted the poor Master's bruised back.

Caster walked through the dark alleys of Fuyuki.

"Oh they'll pay, ohhh yes. My dear Ryuunosuke will be avenged." Caster muttered to himself. Suddenly he picked up his head and turned around.

"Who's there?" Caster called out. "You should know better than to attempt to sneak up on me. "

Suddenly a small shadow of a person appeared.

"Forgive me Master Caster, but I couldn't help but overhear that you've lost someone dear to you. I understand what that feels like." The figure said stepping out of the shadows revealing a white dress shirt and red hair. "I believe you can help me avenge the murder of my beloved Lancer, and I'm my knowledge of the other masters can be beneficial to you. What do you say Master Caster?"

Caster gave her a disturbing smile before sticking his hand out. The woman simply smiled.

"My name is Sola-Ui, it'll be a pleasure to work with you."

Irisviel's eyes snapped open only to be greeted by the sight of a man she never wished to meet:

Kirei Kotomine

"It's a pleasure to meet you Master of the 8th servant. I am Kirei Kotomine the master of Assassin." Kirei greeted Irisviel with a bow. She simply remained silent waiting to hear why he had kidnapped her.

"No doubt you're wondering why I had Assassin extract you and expose myself to you and….Emiya Kiritsugu." The way he spoke deeply disturbed Irisviel. There was no emotion in anything he did his voice had a dead sound to it. His eyes refuse to show any emotion. "I was asked to bring you here, but it's also because I found myself curious about a few things that I think you may have the answers to. The first being: Why does he wish to save you?" Kirei asked genuinely curious. However before Irisviel could say anything a shower of gold appeared in the room.

"Kirei we do not entertain the animals." The King of heroes, Gilgamesh spoke. He was not in his golden armor, no he was dressed in a loose white short with a golden necklace and his hair was no longer slicked back.

"I-I don't." Irisviel started before she was cut off by Gilgamesh.

"Hush puppet, you are not who I wish to speak to. No the only reason you are allowed the honor of my presence is that I wish to speak to the fake you have summon. Heh It seems you two are a matching set." Gilgamesh said all while gazing at Irisviel as if daring her to speak.

Irisviel remained silent praying that Archer got here quickly.

Waver sighed as he and Rider walked up the driveway to the Mackenzie's residents. After Archer left The Master of Berserker left with his servant and Rin, leaving Waver and Rider alone with a bunch of mentally scared kids. A police call later and the surviving kids were off to their homes while the rest were……well taken to a morgue. The police placed the blame on a Ryuunosuke Uryuu, who abducted the children, but a gas explosion killed him and most of the children. Luckily some survived.

That was the official story.

Waver sighed as he walked to his temporary residence. Suddenly Rider grabbed him and pulled him back.

"Rider wha!?" Waver began before his servant interrupted.

"It's a servant." Rider told him. As soon as he said something, Saber jumped down from the roof and landed in front of them.

She simply pointed to the house and said: "My Master waits for you in there Master of Rider. However Rider cannot pass."

Rider didn't like that, however Waver ran towards the house.

"Waver wait!" Rider shouted and tried to follow, however Saber blocked his path.

"Tch damn you Saber!" Rider said.

Waver made his way into the house, the first thing he was greeted by the sight of the Mackenzies slumped over and passed out on the kitchen table. At least Waver hoped they were only passed out.

"Don't worry they're only sleeping." A voice causing Waver to jump and turn towards it. Once he saw who it was Waver froze in absolute Terror. Standing across from him was two people, one was a women with short black hair and a strange outfit on and the other…..the other was the last person he ever wanted to meet…ever.

Waver felt like he was staring at the boogeyman himself.

The Magus Killer

Kiritsugu Emiya

"Let's have a chat…Waver Velvet. "

"Nope Shirou-kun we will not lose focus this time."

"Weren't you the one who got arrested?"

"Details details my dear child."

"Ugh never mind let us introduce our guest of the day: Maiya Hisau!"

The audience clap as Maiya entered, before stopping and somehow began staring in horror.

Review response:

Samuelalpha86: Archer always knows how to get on Saber's goodside.

Eternalking: Yea that was a stupid mistake on my part. Unfortunately I'm to lazy to fix it at the moment.

G: My friend, this story was created because the other EMIYA in the 4th grail war stopped just short of that scene.

Primordal Inspector Z-09: I'm so glad you think so, I've always worried that this story didn't improve. I'm glad you're enjoying it.

MalasLaBro: No pairings other then the already established ones like Iri x Kiri, and both Archer's hopeless pining for Saber.

Chronofang12: I'm mainly saving it for a climax. But it will probably see a good amount of use after it's first showing.

Masterx01: This blew my mind when I first saw this. I had no idea about that. Yes you can see the improvement between the first and second chapter.

Jeff: I did think that's how this would end but now I'm not so sure.

SonatiShinome: I believe Kiritsugu cheated on Iri, with probably her knowing, in order to be prepared later on when he would sacrifice her for the grail.

Sorry for the lack of Archer in this chapter, but hey at least that nut job kicked the bucket.

Sorry for a short bottom AN, but I gotta enjoy family time.

Merry Christmas
