Fate Zero The Loyal Servant

Chapter 4(Rewritten 2020)

Irisviel and Saber stepped off the plane, having enjoyed the flight to Fuyuki. Irisviel was excited to get to know that Kiritsugu grew up and was born. Saber was a bit disappointed with the simplicity of the flight.

"Oh!" Irisviel jumps hand coming to her mouth as she notices the figure at the end of the stairs. She wore a black suit like Saber but a bit more unkempt. She didn't wear the mouth covering as she had in the video footage. They both found her beautiful, but in a haunting way...

"It's good to meet you!" Irisviel rushes down to Karsyn who bows before her. "Please, no need to act so formal." Iris smiles and takes the girl's hand. "I hope we can be good friends." Karsyn doesn't show any emotion as she nods and removes her hand from the homunculi.

"It is an honor to meet with you Lady Karsyn." Saber bows to her ever so slightly. Karsyn gives a deeper bow in return. "I do hope you can be more comfortable in our presence than when you were with the Church." They don't see the glint in Karsyn's eyes but it vanishes as fast as it appeared.

"The honor is mine, my King." She says startling the two women.

The walk through the airport made every stare in shocked awe. Three beautiful women walking through, two in suits, with a group of handmaids behind them. People even took pictures though the photo would be instantly deleted thanks to magic.

The day was then spend touring the city. Neither Saber nor Irisviel had ever been outside in this world. Saber due to being a Servant brought from ancient times, and Irisviel due to having spent her life in the castle of her family estate. They both thought it would be alright to do this, and to their shock, Karsyn even pulled over the car so that they could.

"I shall be your tour guide and guardian," Karsyn says opening the car door and offering her hand to Irisviel. Neither of the two knew what to do with this since this is nothing like the girl they saw in the video.

"Thank you!" Irisviel's smile made Saber smile at her joyful expression. Saber also promised to be her knight escort around the city and do her best.

They ventured all over the city, trying new foods and even shopping. Karsyn carried any bag or thing the Lady wanted much to the worry of Saber. They got many strange looks but they ignored them all. When a couple guys even through some catcalls their way it was Karsyn who landed a knife into the wall next to one of their ears. Her expression never changing, her eyes ever emotionless.

They were at the beach, night had fallen and Irisviel was walking in the water down the shore. Enjoying the cold lapping of the water on her toes.

"It's fun to walk around a new town, accompanied by a gentleman." Irisviel smiles beginning to flip a coin in her hand.

"Did I really make an acceptable gentleman?" Saber asks her following along out of the waters reach.

"You were perfect Saber! You were the most wonderful knight a girl could hope for!" Irisviel beams at her, a lovely smile in her face. Saber smiles softly at her.

"You honor me, Your Highness." Saber puts a hand over her heart and bows slightly.

Then Saber is at Irisviel's side, gripping the fabric of her sleeve to alert her to the new threat. Karsyn simply was feet away, her presence forgotten by the two.

"An enemy servant?" Irisviel asked.

"Yes. Making its presence known from the shadows, 100 meters ahead. It appears to be inviting us to go over and see it." Saber informs

"How thoughtful. It wishes to decide on a battlefield. Shall we take it upon its invitation?" Irisviel's question startles Saber before she smiles.

"I'd like nothing better." Saber was filled with excitement at the thought of battle.

They walk to a shipping bay filled with colored shipping containers and street lights. Saber stood in front of Irisviel protectively as Karsyn stood to her side, hands behind her back. They waited and looked around unsure where the Servant was or their Master.

"Welcome." The voice floated around them as the Servant remained hidden. "I have spent the entire day searching the city, for a worthy foe. Everyone just slinks away hiding in their little holes. You alone have accepted my offer." Then Lancer comes from the shadows, his golden eyes staring at the three women before him. "That pure energy surrounding you. You are the servant called Saber, I presume?" He says addressing Saber but he has to force himself to not look at Karsyn.

Yes, the other two women were beautiful but somehow he found Karsyn breathtakingly so. There was no aura of power or anything around her as if she didn't even exist and he felt that when he stopped looking at her she wasn't there at all.

"Indeed I am. And I presume you are the one called Lancer?" Saber says back, stance tense as she faces him.

"Being unable to honorably name myself to my opponent in combat troubles me more than I can describe. I harbor an enormous dislike for these rules." Lancer has a sly smirk on his lips as he speaks. By the end of his words through his lances were in their fighting position.

Saber lights up in blue energy that has wind billowing around her. She transforms into her armor, the blue fabric of her dress allowing the silver metal of her armor shines brighter. In her closed hands was a sword of air, only a slight shimmer could say it was there.

"Saber...be careful," Irisviel whispered. "I can use my healing magic to act as combat support for you. But more than that Saber..." She was worried for her Servant and didn't wish harm to fall upon her.

"Just leave Lancer to me. It troubles me that his master has is in hiding and yet to show himself. Perhaps they plot something. Watch yourself." Saber nods her head, getting ready to fight. Karsyn places a hand on Irisviel's shoulder and has her step back a bit allowing Karsyn to stand between the two Servant's. "And from this point on I entrust you to watch my back." Those words were not just to Irisviel.

"Very well! Grant me victory Saber!" Irisviel cheers on her Servant and Saber smirks at Lancer. She had more support than he did, so she was sure to win this battle.

"I will grant you victory in this fight. Without fail." The determination on her face showed her intent as the two Servants stared down one another. The battle moments from starting.
