After successful in his personal mission in achieving peace with the Sirens. Couple of people was in a shared office when a knock was heard on the door.
Green haired Girl: yes?
A maid came in to tell them that they were summoned by the leader of the royal navy and they head over to the royal gardens where three people were waiting for them.
Dark Blonde boy: (the two bow before the leader of the royal navy) your majesty.
The young girl looked up at the arrivals and welcomed them to join her, the dark blonde's wife and her retainer. Which are called Queen Elizabeth, Warspite and Hood. After they sat down with them, the maid earlier served tea.
QE: can I ask you about something called the 'Holy Grail War'? Do you or Emerald know anything about it, Josh?
Josh: (Shakes his head) no unfortunately.
Hood: a few days ago, I noticed something on your hand one night after having dinner.
Emerald was confused and remembered that she too had something on her hand too until Josh said something.
Josh: I've heard stories about it as seven pairs of a master and servants to fight over some wish granting thing, right?
Warspite: yes. Her majesty has asked the overseer to keep you two a secret from the main seven teams. (Takes a small and a large suitcases out from under the table) with these you two can choose which relic to summon your servant.
The two commanders were having a look at the suitcases. But when he saw what was inside the bigger one, Josh had never seen a relic that hasn't had a mark on it.
Josh: how did you come across this?
QE: I've asked Tirpitz to collect it before someone else had the chance to find it.
Josh: but this- I mean I've heard stories about the wielder of the weapon that protect it (getting overwhelmed and decided to calm down) I'll try to get along with the servant who wields Excalibur.
Sometime later.
Josh goes to visit his Siren friend, Purifier to get his and Emerald's armour sets upgraded then returned with them. Three years later prior to the 4th grail war, both Josh and Emerald were informed that they were allowed to bring some extra help to Fuyuki. In the office, Emerald and Josh are working on some files of the seven masters.
Emerald: so who's who in the grail war?
Josh: first up is; Kotomine, from what I've heard from our sources: he used to work with the church of heritc hunters sounds troublesome if we are going to fight him.
Emerald: how so?
Josh: he's mastered every skill. Next up; El-Melloi, he specialises in Necromancy and summoning of liquid like familiars.
Emerald: (disgusted) great... a necromancer...
Josh pulls out another file marked: Top servant and master which had three to four pages which were had a paperclip hold a photo of two men. One dressed in a red suit and one in a black suit.
Elsewhere in the country of Germany, the said man in the black suit was at his computer as his wife was looking out the window as she watched the snow fall outside.
?: Iri.
The woman turns to her husband who gesture her to come over to him.
Iri: yes? What's wrong?
?: I've been wondering about something as a request.
Iri: and that is?
?: in theory: if there is an extra pair of masters besides the main seven of us, be sure to find them and ask them to protect you, ok?
Iri: (nods) yes. But why?
?: it's just a precaution.
Iri: I understand, Kiritsugu.
Back at Azur Lane, Josh hands Emerald the file that marked 'SABER' to have a read and was surprised. While she reads it, Josh heads over to one of the massive windows on the side of the office to have a look out seeing the everyone from different camps having some fun.
Josh: I've decided on who to bring with me to Fuyuki.
Emerald: (looking at Josh) who?
Josh: seeing as the grail war is in Fuyuki, I'm taking both Akagi and Tripitz. You?
Emerald: Oklahoma and my secretary, Yorktown.
Later in the middle of the night.
Two strange looking circles were drawn in the ground with two relics on the other side of them. Emerald started to chant the summoning rite. as she continued on, the circles glow brighter and brighter as the wind blew out of control then a flash as the wind dies down and stood in front of Emerald was a woman dressed in green. She had a bow in her right hand, has a tail and a set of ears on her head.
Emerald: might I ask who you are?
?: my class is Archer. I'm Atalante the renowned huntress of the goddess Artemis. I take it that you're my master?
Emerald: yes. My name is Emerald.
After they had their pact sealed, Emerald and her servant were waiting for Josh. He started to use the summoning rite. As he continued, the relic glowed as the summoning circle begins to get brighter and brighter till it flash. In front of him was a woman dressed in a blue dress with armour.
?: servant saber. I ask you, Are you worthy to be my master?
Josh was amazed that the servant in front of him was none other then the king of knights herself: Artoria Pendragon. What caught her by surprise was that he immediately knelt down before her.
Josh: (holding a knee) yes. I am, the names Josh, Commander of Azur Lane.
Artoria: there's no need to kneel before me, master.
Atalante: (whispers to Emerald) what's wrong with your friend?
Emerald: Josh easily recognises royalty and is showing respect.
Josh stands back up and asks Artoria to refrain from calling him master and he asked her to call him by his name instead. She agreed to call him by his name. Josh also asked her that while she and Atalante are with their master and their team that if it was okay to call them by their real name. Artoria was hesitant at first but she agreed along with Emerald's servant.
The first chapter: the tour of Azur Lane, meeting the family and Tea Party.
