Fate/Amalgam (Reader x Multi Crossover)

Chapter 11

The Holy Grail War has officially begun.

Most of the Servants and Masters clashed, showing what they could do.

And now, all Masters need to make a plan, considering skills and power of the others.

And most of them already made their mind.

-An abandoned house-

The former priest Pucci was staring the fire of the chimney, pondering on the correct way to proceed.

He had a plan of course, but one is never too careful.

From the other side of the room, the golden Archer was enjoing a glass of wine.

Archer:"So this is what a Holy Grail War is? I must say I'm not really impressed from what I've seen so far."

Pucci:"...Indeed. Most Master don't seem to care for a strategy."

Archer:"And yet this come out to our advantage as well. We had the chance to see almost all our opponents in one place."

He turned to his Master, his eyes piercing the darkness.

Archer:"So, what do you say? According to what we saw, who do you think would be the biggest threat?"

Pucci closed his eyes, living once again the fight he just witnessed.

Pucci:"...Assassin might be troubling. We do not know what she can do, and yet she was wise enough not to try attacking us. She must posses a sharp instinct."

He turned to his Servant, who simply watched in silence.

Pucci:"And of course that Berserker. He proved high skills and strenght, and for being a Berserker he appears to be capable of rational thought."

He waited for an answer, and Archer stood up.

Archer:"True, all you said is correct. But I see it differently. If you ask me, the biggest threat is Caster's Master"

Pucci:"That boy? I won't deny he showed to be capable, but still he's a newbie. His magic is not perfect yet."

Archer:"But you can't deny it was him who made the others Servants go to the next level. Beside, remember this: even the weakest prey can be a tremendous foe if he's put on the corner."

He finished the wine and stared at the empty glass.

Archer:"Usually, it's the weakest the one who can turn the table. It's a lesson I've learned in life. I made that mistake once, and apparently even twice..."

The thought of his defeat and his death filled him with anger, as he broke the glass.

Archer:"I will NOT make it again."

-A fancy apartment-

Satsuki Kiryuin was enjoing her tea while her protege was focused on the breakfast in front of her.

Saber didn't seem pleased with the waiting.

Satsuki:"Is something bothering you, Saber?"

Saber:"Of course it is! I was about to go all out and they just block me like that. It ain't fair!"

Satsuki:"This isn't a mere street fight, it's a war. And every war has its rules."

Saber:"Whatever..."

Her uniform's 'eye' turned to her.

Senketsu:"Don't be impatient, Ryuko. We'll have other chances."

Saber:"I know that."

She distractly turned to her Master.

Mankanshoku was still eating, or rather filling her mouth with sweets, ignoring the conversation as it didn't concern her.
