Hi, everybody!  Another chapter!  Yay!

I've decided to provide Servants to the current Campione.  They will match both locations and personalities.

Sasha Dejanstahl Voban will get the Berserker Servant Vlad III because of their blood lust, fear factor, and madness.  Voban and Vlad will get along fine because Vlad thinks his role as a Servant/retainer is natural.

Luo Hao gets the Assassin Yan Qing because of their martial arts ability.  Luo Hao likes Yan Qing's abilities, but thinks of him below her.  Yan Qing and Luo Hao view each other as rivals.

Madame Aisha gets the Lancer Servant Karna, the most charitable hero ever.  Combined with their lack of social skills and kind natures, it was obvious these two would find each other.  Karna gives into any of Madame Aisha's demands.  In most battles, Karna will be Aisha's main weapon.

Black Prince Alec has the Archer Servant Robin Hood.  As both are thieves and are pragmatic, they are a good match, though Robin gets disgusted at Alec's actions at time.  Alec will make full use of Robin's No Face May King Noble Phantasm to eliminate his enemies.

John Pluto Smith has the Caster Thomas Edison.  This is because of their ridiculous outfits.  Edison will also create John Pluto Smith a bunch of weapons and tools.  When John is Annie, Edison keeps her secret.  John also uses Edison to weaken her foes with his Noble Phantasm.

Salvatore Doni gets the Saber Servant Nero in her Bride form.  She has never met Hakuno Kishinami, so she is all into Doni.  Doni is so dumb that he likes Nero's arts, which in turn, stole Nero's heart and made her completely loyal.

Godou Kusanagi gets Rider Servant Ushiwakamaru.  Their infinite potential and loyalty to their siblings was what got them together.  They will sometimes use their abilities together, Godou summoning the giant boar and Ushiwakamaru taking control of it.

Shirou woke up with a start.  He looked around to find himself in a stone castle.  The magus looked out the only window in the room to find that he was in a castle and that he was in some strange area, probably the Reverse Side of the World, a layer of the world which has conditions of the Age of the Gods.  The area was dark and gave off a malevolent feeling.  He went towards the door but found that it was locked.  Shirou used his magecraft to forge a key.  Shirou opened the door, but found that he couldn't get out.

'Of course,' Shirou thought.  'Runic magecraft.  Creating a bounded field that keeps me in.  But that won't keep me down.'

"Trace On," Shirou chants.  A dagger appears in his hand.  He stabs the dagger into the barrier and calls out the dagger's name.  "Rule Breaker."

The barrier and the runes disappeared, allowing Shirou to get out.  He began trying to find an exit out of the castle.  The former Counter Guardian reached the main entrance when he stopped.

"I know your there," he said, looking up.

The witch, Scathach swung from the chandelier.  Scathach grinned and jumped down.  Summoning her spears, she slashed at him, but Shirou intercepted it with a summoned Kanshou.

The two had a brief exchange, Scathach showing off amazing spearmanship and Shirou using his unique sword techniques.  Usually, when Shirou fought a person of that caliber, his fighting style would let him hold his ground, but with his new power up, mainly his A+ speed, he soon began wearing the witch down.  In his regular form, he could go toe to toe with Scathach's best pupil, Cu Chulainn.  Scathach would be more difficult, but Shirou could manage her.  With a kick, the magus sent the witch flying back.

The witch quickly got back on her feet, giving an insane smile.  "Excellent!" she said.  "You very impressive.  This will be fun!"

Shirou shuddered at the glee the woman was getting from this.  He heard from Cu Chulainn that her warlust could make Rin run away, but this was not what he was expecting.  In his imagination, Scathach was some crazy strict teacher who would destroy anyone who crossed her.  In reality, she is the same, but also craves blood and violence.

"Get ready!" she ordered.  "Here I come!"  The witch charged at him with superhuman speed.

Shirou sighed.  He de-traced his swords and used his Unified Language.  "Wait, let's calm down for a moment."

Affected, she slowed down and stopped, her spear near Shirou's throat.

"Done?" Shirou asked.  "Good.  Let's talk."
