————3rd Person POV————

A golden ship flew in the sky as the King of Heroes looked down at the Servant's fighting below him. His Master and her daughter stayed off to the side of the ship. Just a few days after Jean went into the Matou's house, Caster had decided to take action. He had gone into the Mion River and created a big octopus looking monster around himself. The monster was a mixture of blacks, purples, and a some red patches. A purple smoke surrounded it. From where the Tohsaka's and the Servant was, they saw four Servant's attacking the monster. Rider and Lancer attacked it relentlessly from above, while Saber and a Servant that Jean recognised attacked it from the water.

Jean's eyes widened slightly as she recognised the Servant fighting alongside Saber. "That's..." she mumbled, the man had blue hair. The same blue hair that was in her dreams and that was on the man from a week before. He held his ice sword as he raced along the water, every time he took a step, he froze the water underneath his foot. This technique allowed him to race on water and fight with the blonde Saber near him. The red-haired girl shook her head to get rid of her thoughts before turning towards her father. He held worry in his blue orbs and she knew exactly why as the killer of Caster will get one extra Command Seal.

Tokiomi frowned deeply before turning towards his golden clad Servant. "My King, I must ask you to slay this beast yourself. He is nothing more than a mere pest in your garden," he asked.

"Dealing with a pest in the garden is a job for a gardener, or do you intend to mock my precious Noble Phantasm's? Putting them at a level to low as a gardeners hoe, Tokiomi?" Gilgamesh's red eyes narrowed towards his Master as he spoke.

"I would never dare think that, your Majesty. But, as you can see, Caster's monster's ability rivals that of the other Servant's. This would be a perfect time to demonstrate your might as the strongest Heroic Spirit. I beg of you to please take action," Tokiomi tried to reason.

'I never knew how good my father was at manipulating people. But, I don't think that this would work...' despite what the young Tohsaka thought, four golden weapons fired from beside Archer. It went straight into the monster's body, however instead of killing it, it regenerated the wounds. Despite most of the body being gone from the force of the King of Heroes weapons, it still came back together.

"Jean, we need to get down there. I can defeat it."

The young Tohsaka bit her lip slightly in thought before shaking her head, "That's not a good idea Allura, I kind of want to keep you a secret..." she whispered making sure her father didn't hear her.

"We're leaving Tokiomi," Archer stated, "I have grown weary just by looking at that disgusting creature."

The leader of the Tohsaka's turned around quickly, "My King, wait, I beg of you."

"Tokiomi, I have sacrificed four swords thinking of my duty towards you. I have already spent four of my weapons against that wretched creature and I don't intend to bring them back. Do not take advantage of my generosity!" Gilgamesh nearly shouted.

"You are the only Heroic Spirit capable of defeating that thing given its regenerative abilities. The only way to defeat it, is to annihilate it in one strike! Your Sword of Rupture—"

"You fool!" The enraged king stood up, making the wine in his hand spill to the ground as he yelled. The dark red liquid spilled onto the once spotless golden ship. "You dare suggest a that I draw forth Ea here?! Do not forget your place Tokiomi! I should have your head for being so disrespectful towards your king!" Tokiomi's body went down into a deep bow, his eyes lingering onto the Command Seals on his right hand. Jean's eyes showed slightly worry at the relationship between her father and his Servant.
