Fate Zero The Loyal Servant

Chapter 6(Rewritten 2020)

"What the hell were you thinking announcing yourself that way, you idiot?!" Waver shrieked grabbing on to Rider's cape in angry worry, but Rider just flicks him in the forehead.

"Fate has brought us all together in this place to do battle for the position of the Holy Grail. But first I wish to make a proposition. And offer what do you think of yielding me the Holy Grail to me and joining my army?! You would be treated as honorable allies, friends in honor, and arms! Together we shall share in the glory of battle and the joy of world conquest!" Rider declared his offer to the heroes with a slamming of his fists together.

"I am afraid that I must decline your offer. As tempting as that offer maybe I may give the Grail to but one man: my new avowed Lord. And not to the likes of you, Rider!" Lancer started out as friendly before settling his features into a glare that wanted to kill the Servant.

"Did you come here and interfere with our battle, rudely, merely to proffer that ridiculous plan? If so, it is a grave insult against my honor!" Saber retorted an annoyed frown upon her features. Rider sighs unhappy with these results.

"I'd be willing to discuss compensation." Rider offers, actually meaning it but it sets the other two off.

"Enough!" Saber and Lancer snap at the same time, growing more irritated by the second.

"And further, I am the rightful King of Britain. And not merely a knight of the realm. I could never lower myself to a mere retainer, even to a mighty King." Saber snaps at him, clenching her sword tighter.

"Oh, you are King of Britain? That is quite a surprise! I would have hardly expected the King of Knight to be a little girl!" Rider didn't mean any offense to his words but as any female should know, men are idiots.

"Then would you like a taste of this little girl's blade, king of Conquerors?" Saber readies her weapon, hair flowing around her as she wants to slice his tongue off.

"I suppose negotiations have failed...such a terrible waste. What a terrible shame..." Rider rubs his head, disappointed.

"Rider!" Waver yells angry and still panicked about the whole situation, and grabbing at his cape angry. "What the hell is wrong with you?!"

"So...you were the one who did it, huh?" Kayneth El-Melloi Archibald, Lancer's Master speaks from the shadows dull anger to his voice.

"I'd been wondering, what twisted madness had evaded your psychic and compelled you to my relic. I never imaged that you yourself had been planning to enter the Holy Grail War...Waver Velvet. Now I know you are not experienced in these matters, how would you like me to offer you a private lesson? What it really means for mages to kill one another... ill teach you all about the fear and pain involved in such noble endeavors. You should be honored." Kayneth snarls but with a promise to his words. Lancer just looked uninterested during it all, while Waver cowered in fear at Rider's feet. Rider places a hand on Waver's back, anger in those dark red eyes of his.

"Mage, who is speaking now?! Do I understand correctly that you were to be my master, rather than this boy I am sworn to serve? That whole idea is absurd and laughable. Only one brave enough standing by my side into open battle could ever hope to be my master. A coward who lacks sufficient courage to show himself is nowhere close to being worthy!" Rider yells angrily then laughs. "Of course there are also others as well, out there skulking in the darkness watching us!"

"What are you talking about Rider?" Saber looks around worried and confused, having not sensed anyone.

"Saber and Lancer, your duel was magnificent surely the sounds of your blades and the fury of your battle called other Heroic spirits not just myself to this place. Heroic spirits were born again, though the Holy Grail, gather here now. Those too craven to show themselves will draw my scorn!" Rider gives them a thumbs up, shocking Saber.
