Fate/Academy (Second Story)

Chapter 4. Airplane Madness

    (Rin's POV)  

     "So, you're telling me that the Holy Grail is stolen and that you guys need my help to find it and take it back to wear it belongs?" the saber class servant asked. "Well, yes. We do need your help," I said. "Can I trust you to not go against your word when you say your going to get the Holy Grail?" he asked. "Of course," I said. "Okay then. I just met your guys but, nonetheless, I'll help you," he said as he held out is hand. "Great. Thanks!" I said as I shook his hand and smiled. "Oh yeah. What's your name?" I asked him. "Arthur Pendragon," he said. He then walked up next to me and whispered in my ear, "Who is she?" as he pointed to Arturia. "Her name is Arturia Pendragon.  Why?" I asked him. "Because she looks just like me. Just in a female form... You know what? I just thought of something," he said as he walked away from me.

      "Okay then! Now, just how are we going to get the Grail?" Jeanne asked. "Well, Jeanne, sorry but you won't be in our mission. But, I have an important reason why! You'll temporarily be in charge of the school when we are gone," I said. "Oh. That's fine. I understand your reasoning," Jeanne said. "And Jeanne?" "Yes?" Jeanne asked. I held Jeanne's hand with both of my hands as I said, "I need you to promise me that the school will be protected at all times and that nothing bad will happen to the students. Can you promise me that?"  "Yes. That promise will be fulfilled no matter what," Jeanne said as she held her other hand up high. "Thank you SO much!" I said as I let go of Jeanne's hand and squeezed her. "Ugh. Rin. You need to be strong for this mission to go planned. Okay? Your dad will surely be proud of you when you guys come back undefeated with the Holy Grail," Jeanne said as she hugged me back. "Thanks, Jeanne," I said as I got off of her. "Okay guys! Now's the time we talk about strategy!" I said as she clapped her hands together with a determined smile on her face. And from that point on. We started talking about how we're going to get the Holy Grail back.

A few minutes later  (Arturia's POV)

      "Okay guys! That's it. Pack your bags. Because tomorrow we are going to America!" Rin said enthusiastically. "And you guys are dissmissed. Get a good night's sleep!" Rin said as she showed us to the door. "Bye, Rin! Good luck!" Jeanne sais as she walked home. Everyone was walking home as I was about to leave. But Rin called my name. "Arturia," she whispered. "Yes, Rin? Is there something on your mind?" I asked. "Yes. Can you come in for a little?" she asked. I nodded as I came back into her house and closed the door. "Do you think that I'm doing the right thing? I mean. I don't know what to do anymore. My dad is dead and if we fail this mission, it will be my fault because I was left in charge. It's like I'm babysitting and the baby that I'm responsible for the baby at that very moment and it, just, disappeares!" Rin said. "Rin. You know, the last time we had to get the Holy Grail back, I had that same mindset. But, guess what. We still got the Holy Grail because someone told me that I wasn't the only one with that burden on my shoulders. He said that I had to trust my friends. So I did. And we finally got it back. It was stolen again, but I have faith in you. We all do. Not because you are the one leading this mission, but because we all know that if this mission fails, we all have to pay the price. And because we know that you can lead us to victory. You're the only one who can. So stop acting like you're the only one with problems. Because we all have them. Okay?" I asked her. "Yeah. You're right. I shouldn't worry about this so much. I just need to relax," she said as she took a deep breathes. "Well, thanks, Arturia. See you tomorrow!" Rin said as I walked out her house and waved back at her.

The next day (Rin's POV)

     Okay. Today is a big day. Not only do we have to start our mission, but we also have to fly to America. A place that we have never been to before. I'm excitedly scared. I was thinking about the mission as I was packing the rest of the things that we might need. Plus some money.

     Ding Dong. "That must be them," I said as I got all of my bags together, ran downstairs, and opened the door to see Arturia, Diarmuid, Gilgamesh, and Arthur. "Okay. You you guys ready?" I asked. "Yep!" Arturia said as she held a thumbs up. "Good. Well then. Let's-" I said as I was cut off buy Gilgamesh. "Wait. How are we going to get to America? And don't tell me that we're going to walk because I doubt that we can and because I won't be up for the job," he said. "If you let me finish, I would probably tell you how we're going to get there," I said. Can he just shut up for a minute. No, for an hour? "Okay. So, the obvious answer to that question is that we are going to fly there. I've ordered us seven tickets for the flight, so it would be better if we got a move on," I said as I started to walk out my home. "What are the extra two tickets for?" Arturia asked. "Well, I guess I never told you guys yet, but, two other people will be helping us," I said as two people walked up to us. "Sorry to keep you waiting, Rin," said the rider class servant. "It's okay," I said as I faced everyone. "These are the two servants. The rider class Medusa, and the Archer class Emiya," I said as I pointed to them. "And these people are Diarmuid, Arturia, Gilgamesh, and Arture." "Nice to meet you," Medusa said as she bowed. Emiya just stood there and said, "Yeah. Nice to meet you," he said as he stared at Gilgamesh. Everyone was quiet. "Well, if you guys don't mind, I'd like to get to our flight before we're to late," I said as we went to a bus stop. "We're going to take a to get there. I doubt a car would be a help," I said as we waited at the bus stop.

20 minutes later (Arturia's POV)

     We were finally in the airplane, as we were taking our seats. I sat next to Gilgamesh, Diarmuid sat next to Archer (Emiya), Arthur sat by himself, and Medusa sat next to Rin. As soon as we took our seats, the airplane took off.

13 hours later

      I yawned as I woke up from my sleep. "How many hours until we finally get to America?" I asked. "About 2 hours," Gilgamesh said. "Ugh! I'm just going to sleep again. Wake me up when we're there," I said as closed my eyes again.

     "Arturia! Look outside!" Gilgamesh said. When I woke up, everyone on the airplane was looking out their windows. "What is that?" I asked as it was getting closer to the plane. "Oh no! Gil, it looks like the doing of a caster servant! Like a beam. Everyone needs to get to safety. This plane won't be safe once it hits it," I said. "Everybody! Duck down!" I said as everyone got to their knees and crouched.

     BOOM!!! The beam hit the plane. I got out of my seat and ran to Rin. "Rin! What should we do?!" I asked. "Arturia! Kill that caster," Rin said. "Okay!" I said as I jumped out of a window. As I was falling, I transformed into my armour and held Excalibur in my hands. I suddenly saw something in the air. It was the caster servant. The servant shot a beam at me, but I used Excalibur to deflect it.

    I was getting closer and closer to the servant. When I was right on top of her, I impaled her with my sword. She suddenly vanished, and I hit the ground on a large plain. "Ugh!" I said as I hit the ground. I panted, but got a feeling that something was not right. When I looked behind me, I saw a lot of familiars made up of dragon teeth. They were coming closer to me. I then heard a laugh. "Hahahahaha! You thought that you actually killed me? Guess again, sweetheart," she said as they got closer to me. I got up and ran towards them, but felt a stop in my body. I was surrounded by magic. I smiled as I ran out of it and kept charging at them. "What?! Magic Resistance?! I should've known," she said. I then slashed my sword at the first familiar. I impaled the second one, and cut the third one's head off. "Ahh!" I grunted as I felt a grip on my neck. It was a familiar. Another one was walking in front of me ready the end my life.

     I heard the caster laugh as I said, "Don't undestimate me!" as I kicked the one infront of me and elbowed the one gripping my neck. When I finally had space between them, I turned around and impaled the one behind me, and cut the other one in half. "As I said, don't underestimate me," I said as I looked up at the caster in the air. She had a face of shock as she disappeared. Her familiars also disappeared with her.

     "Ugh," I breathed as I fell to the ground and rubbed my neck. I panted hard as someone stood in front of me. "Huh?" I said as I looked at them. It was Rin. "Arturia, you did a good job," Rin said. I nodded as I closed my eyes.
