Kirei: I'm afraid that I must inform you that the Grail War is in great peril. We have identified Caster's master as the person behind the recent kidnappings in Fuyuki, a disturbing revelation, indeed. Thus, in accordance with the emergency powers granted to me as overseer, I am temporarily altering the rules of the Grail War. Masters are to hereby cease all ongoing combat in pursuit of the grail and focus on the elimination of Caster instead. The one who succeeds in defeating Caster and his master will receive an additional Command Seal as their reward. These are the unused Command Seals left behind by the fallen masters of past grail wars. One of them should prove to be of immeasurable value to whoever receives it. Once Caster's destruction has been positively confirmed, the Holy Grail War will recommence until a victor emerges. Now then, if anyone has questions, please ask them now. But of course, that offer is limited to those who can actually speak in human languages.
Tokiomi: Well played, Kirei. Now, all the masters will do whatever they can to hunt him down and destroy him.
Kirei: There were five familiars gathered at the church for my announcement, which means that...
Tokiomi: Which means that the elusive missing master Lord El-Melloi is still very much alive.
Kirei: Indeed. The offer of a Command Seal as the reward should draw him out, given that he's already used one of his. Of course, the other masters will be drawn out as well. They'll seek to keep the Command Seal from the rest by making certain they can claim it for themselves.
Tokiomi: That's true, but it also means that the master who wins the seal will gain a formidable advantage over the others.
Kirei: Naturally, it's not ideal. Once Caster has been thoroughly weakened and is on the run from all the other masters who are chasing him, Archer must be the one to deal the final blow.
(The doors to the church open. Kirei looks to see Shirou and Mordred are there)
(You wake up and look over to see Saber sitting Japanese-style beside a futon. Something was off about Saber. You notice that she has a sad expression)
Y/n: ...Sa... ber...?
(She looks at you with a tear, falling down her cheek)
Why the sad face? Did something happen while I was asleep?
Artoria: ...No. I just had a dream.
Y/n: Hmm?
Artoria: ...No, it is nothing important. Let us eat breakfast, Y/n. It's time to get up.
(Saber gets up and leaves the room quietly)
Y/n: Did she call me by my name? (I don't know why Saber's acting is so weird all of sudden. Maybe it's that dream she had? I don't know, but...I guess she was nursing me since she was sitting by my futon. I'll talk to her about that dream when she gets back.)
(You hear a noise from the balcony and see a familiar. You approach it. Later, Saber returns with breakfast. You come back inside)
Artoria: I-I have waffles.
Y/n: Thanks, Saber. I just got word from the Holy Church that all one-on-one combat with each servant must be put on hold for a bit and work together to take out Caster.
Artoria: Really? I don't like that.
Y/n: I don't either, but whenever we come across the other servants and their master, we've gotta work together with them to take down Caster.
