Roleplay The Fictional Holy Grail War.

[Wolf on the Run 391]

Masumi gave a worried look to Caster but understood his personality rather well so she simply gave a light node. Caster near instantly responded by jumping onto the nearby roof and jumped in front of Zion and Xion. Caster raised his right hand and faced Ichigo's attack.

 

Caster's hand and Ichigo's attack met the sound of glass breaking rang out around the area and Ichigo's attack vanished doing no damage at all.

 

Caster gave a sigh of relief as he held his right wrist with his left hand, he clenched his right hand as Masumi climbed up beside him standing by his back.

 

"How about we end the fighting here you two?"

 

"Translation this ends in a draw, it might be a pain to do but I can keep both of you in check if I have to"

 

"We just want to avoid any bloodshed"

 

"We don't know what you guys are fighting over but it's not worth killing over"

 

Before arriving Caster had advised Masumi to conceal her command seal using makeup which she had promptly agreed to do. With that done the pair had come up with the plan to act as a pair of traveling mages who where unaware the Grail War was taking place at the current time. Before the Grail War had begun Masumi went out of her way to not research anyone or anything to do with the current grail war to avoid being detected herself. This had it's disadvantages with Masumi not having any idea who any of this wars participates were but it also worked to her advantage by making it difficult for any of them to know about her and with her servant looking like a normal highschool student this only helped her conceal herself more and with Casters unique ability he seemed to release the same aura as a regular human unlike the other servants there concealment looked like it would hold strong until they revealed themselves.

 

"Motoharu can use powerful barrier magic that can block or cancel out most spells I'd recommend listening to him (Caster you bully I don't like being in the center of everything like this)"

 

"(out of all the names in the world she could of come up with on the spot)"

 

Masumi and Caster stood at the ready to counter any attacks that may follow after there words just to be safe

Ichigo Narrowed his eyes. "...You either aren't human or something else I've already been well-informed mages, in fact, anybody around this time magical abilities are nowhere in comparison to something like Getsuga Tenshou." Ichigo wasn't an idiot.  "So I'm gonna toss it to two things you're a servant or you just happen to have something from what is it called? The Age of gods that allow you to absorb an attack regardless of its scale or power."

 

Aidan himself reappeared considering the Illusion was saved... "...Berserker? What happened."

 

"Guy right there absorbed Getsuga Tenshou." He said. "I hate to say it but if you are just two magus's get the hell out of here if you haven't realized it yet this is a war that you are getting in the way of." He said gripping his blade. "I don't want to kill anybody that isn't necessary." He said narrowing his eyes. Aidan turned and looked at the apparent Magus's " Berserker... Enough is enough for tonight your Getsuga Tenshou is most likely going to bring every servant out here to find out what is going on. We'll head back to the workshop now that we know Sabers Identity will do some more research on her." He said phasing out being replaced by the Illusion again which faded.

 

Ichigo had his eyes narrowed fading into a blue mist.

[Wolf on the Run 391]

Giving a sigh of relief as Ichigo and Aidan left Caster looked to Masumi

 

"Not exactly the friendly person I've ever meet"

 

"You meanie I told you I don't like being made the center of attention"

 

Masumi began to hit Caster lightly with her fists (this was not an act to hide there position Masumi was generally upset with Caster actions) Caster gave a slight laught to this

 

"Sorry, sorry I'll try to stop doing it from here on out (woah normally by now I'd have a someone chomping down on my head or trying to to electrocute more this is a nice change of pace)

 

Finally calming herself down somewhat Masumi turned towards Zion and Xion.

 

"Are you two okay your not hurt are you?"

--Caster, Fuyuki City--

 

The moonlight shone upon the cloaked figure, casting his shadow to extend in his wake.  Yevgeni had promised Caster that he would be permitted to do as he wished during this Holy Grail war, provided that he keep him safe.

 

And that is precisely what Caster was doing--as he explored more of Fuyuki and, more specifically, learned what they were up against.

 

During Caster's wanderings he had spotted a young blond eating ice cream with another woman, someone he suspected may be a Heroic Spirit.  It turned out that he assumptions were correct, when another man had engaged in combat with the young Saber.

 

As Caster watched their fight from the shadows he had assumed that it would've been an easy victory for Berserker, but he was quite surprised to see what Saber could do.  Despite her size she was not to be underestimated; that much he duly noted.  The battle had proven entertaining to the mage, and once Berserker and his master had left he decided to make his presence known.

 

"I must say you put up an excellent fight, Saber.  I applaud you," Caster said, lightly clapping his palms together and stepping out from around the corner.  A smile stretched his lips fine, exposing a canine tooth that seemed particularly long--and sharp.  "I didn't think you had it in you, but you stood your ground exceptionally well."

 

He threw his head back, indigo-blue locks flailing away from his face and cascading down his back.  "I suppose I should introduce myself, but introductions are just so dull when we can't throw our real names around the table, isn't it?  I am Caster in this Holy Grail War, and I am here on my own behalf tonight.  I have no wish to fight, but rather I heard a fight and was curious, so I came to see what I'm up against in this war."

 

(Don't really know what to do for Ivasviel since their flight is the next day and they're arriving in Fuyuki soon, so I'll try to post for them later when I have more ideas.)

Zion and Xion both were on guard. 

"We're fine-" Zion began, but with the other Caster arriving...well, Xion slid in front, Kingdom Key raised. "Back away. I won't let any of you closer...even if you helped." She said to the young Caster (Touma). Seemingly at once she had put her hood up. She was standing her ground even better, the Kingdom Key raised, ready to fight if needed to protect Zion.

[Wolf on the Run 391]

Raising his two hands into the air Caster stepped back from Xion and Zion

 

"Don't worry I don't have any intentions of doing you any harm"

 

Caster looked towards the new servant who had appeared referring to themselves as Caster, Kamijou began to think

 

"(So the official Caster showed up this could end up being a problem I don't exactly have great experiences with mages)"

 

Caster looked towards Masumi

 

"(We need to say everything very carefully I'd rather avoid any fight if at all possible with the official Caster here things could be complicated but we have me and Caster playing the role of civilian mages at the minute so we should be safe for the time being but still this has me worried)"

 

Caster gave a slight sigh as he stood next to Masumi

 

"What do you want to do now"

 

"I don't like the idea of just leaving these three alone when another fight might break out but it might be a safer option to retreat for now (Masumi began to play ignorant to the war) With all the people being referred to by classes such as Saber and Caster I can only guess we've walked right into a Holy Grail War in which case retreating is our only real option"

 

As much as Masumi hated lying like this she knew she had no other choice like Berserker's master had said earlier after releasing the kind of power he did more servants were bound to be drawn in the arrival of Caster was proof of that.

 

"Got it" Caster turned towards Zion Xion and the real Caster one last time "You guys better not start another fight or I'll be back to stop you!"

 

Masumi hit Caster over the head almost in tears "Will you just come on you idiot your causing unnecessary problems every time you open your mouth" Masumi grabbed Casters ear and began to pull him away while waving goodbye to the others present Casters complaints could be heard as he was pulled away by the ear.

 

"Damn my rotten luck!"

[Mystics Apprentice 2,397]

--Caster -- Fuyuki City--

 

At Saber's defense the blue-haired servant merely scoffed, shrugging his shoulders slightly as he began to fidget with his gloves.  His back was casually leaned against a beam from the building.  "Like I said earlier, I am here on my own accord.  My master doesn't even know of my presence.  I have no wish to fight you"--he frowned, eyes fixated on the Kingdom Key that Saber wielded--"though I must say that is quite an interesting sword that you wield.  Most curious indeed."

 

He threw back his cloak, exposing his t-shirt and jeans, eyes flickering over toward the other Caster and his master.  Caster's eyes narrowed; there was something curious about those two, yet he couldn't quite put his finger on it.  He chuckled darkly upon the suggestion of him instigating a fight.  "Oh, please; you needn't worry yourself with such things.  I don't think it is outside of the realm of understanding for two Heroic Spirits to merely have a chat, is it?  Besides, I don't want to overstep my bounds lest my 'master' tighten my leash, and I have no desire to hurt a little girl."

 

Yet, was a vital key word that Caster left out of his statement.  He smiled toward Zion, though something about it seemed anything but genuine.  "So, you seem pretty young to be a master.  Why is it that you desire the Holy Grail for yourself, hmm?  Riches and a palace, no doubt?  That seems to be the going trend these days, which seems like something so silly to shed blood over.  Unless you really like gold, then I guess it would be worth dying for.  To me it seems only those with a truly noble cause stand a chance of winning this war, but perhaps I'm just old-fashioned."

 

--Ivasviel -- leaving the Einzbern castle--

 

The silver-haired maiden groaned as she sat up in bed; it seemed like she had only recently laid down to rest, and yet she was already being greeted by servants who were ushering her to her feet.

 

"Oh, it couldn't be time already," Ivasviel stated with a yawn, stretching as she stole a glance over toward the clock beside her bed.  It was only four-thirty in the morning, but she would have to leave this early if she was going to catch her flight to Fuyuki.  Her ruby-red gaze further searched the corners of her room, but Rider was no where to be seen.

 

Her servants had already laid out her clothes for her along a chair: a knee-length black dress with long sleeves, red cuffs exposed at the end and red straps at the shoulders.  She slipped into red heeled boots as she grasped her suitcase, only for it to be taken out of her grasp the moment her fingers slipped around the handle.  Ivasviel glanced up, her gaze meeting the solemn blue eyes of her Heroic Spirit.  "Allow me to carry that for you," he said curtly, his voice lacking emotion.  At this the silver-haired maiden let out a soft chuckle, to which Rider merely raised a brow.  "I'm sorry, Iva, but I fail to see the humor in this."

 

"No, no, it's just you seem . . . more like a butler than a fighter!" she blurted, a wide smile on her face.  "In fact, I think that's what I'll call you in Fuyuki.  Will you be my butler, Rider?"

 

At this Rider merely grunted, snatching up the suitcase fully as he began to make his way down the hall.  "As you wish, Iva.  Call me whatever you will, but I must urge you to hurry along if you want to be on-time for your flight."

 

"Yes, of course!  My apologies."  Iva gave a slight bow before darting after him, hastily snatching her black wool coat from one of her servants as they headed out the door.  Once outside, Rider stopped dead in his tracks, glancing over his shoulder at the silver-haired young woman.

 

"Forgive me, I didn't mean to rush you so much as to miss saying goodbye to your friends and family," said Rider, tone serious.  "I will wait here as you bid them farewell."

 

"Oh, I'm not too worried about it," Ivasviel responded cheerfully, clasping her hands in front of her.

 

At this Rider seemed fully exasperated.  He slammed her suitcase on top of the vehicle they'd be riding and turned to look at her.  "But Ivasviel, your family . . . .  If you're not victorious in this war you will die, and you will never see any of them again.  You would leave without even bidding them farewell, even if it's forever?"

 

For a moment Ivasviel seemed quite surprised by Rider's words.  She merely stared at him before tilting her head.  "Well, I suppose you do have a point, but there is no one that I would miss.  No one would want to say goodbye to me anyway, so I do not see a point in such formalities."

 

Rider watched her but for a moment, before grabbing her suitcase and slamming it down in the backseat, rather forcibly.  He said nothing as he slid into the driver's seat, Iva meekly slipping around the vehicle to sit in the passenger's spot.  From that point on Rider didn't say a word, and she couldn't help noticing his fists shaking on the steering wheel, his jaw clenched tightly.  Apparently he was quite upset that she had no attachment to the people in her home, but Iva couldn't quite figure out why it should bother him so.  She could've even sworn that she saw a tear slip from his eyes, but when she glanced up again it was gone.

[TheKeyofRose 282]

Berserker, Fuyuki City

Reappeared standing in the air his sword wrapped by the white bandage-like cloth. "...Oi before any of you attack me I'm just here to join in on the discussion my master has let me do as I please for the rest of the night so I rather not fight." He said quickly raising his hands up. "And that is the interesting question that was brought up..."

 

He let out a sigh "What do us as Servants instead of asking the masters seek from the grail? Yeah." He said simply.

Berserker(?), Emiya Compound

 

Crashing through the bounded field of the Emiya Compound setting off its alarm the enigmatic solider summoned it's massive keyblade as it awaited the servants to come out to attack them... Agents of Xehanort no doubt this whole thing smelled of the old man.

 

And he'd destroy anything that had to do with that man anything that could possibly get him his body back. "X E H A N O R T." The metallic noise came out as if that is what it was saying.

Lancer, Emiya Compound

At the sound of the alarm, Lancer summoned her lance into her hands and ran out towards the back area of the Emiya Compound. And what she saw just confused her? A giant suit of armor...With some key-shaped weapon. "...What the hell is that suppose to be?"

Based on the size and the weapon it was either a Saber or Berserker... Maybe even Rider if it had the necessities to be one.

 

Artoria herself was soon to follow looking at the armored thing narrowing her eyes... The very thing reminded her of Lancelot from the fourth grail war. "...Lancer be careful we do not what this servant is capable of."
 

[Wolf on the Run 391]

rubbing his swollen and red ear Caster spoke "It might not be as bad as being bitten or electrocuted but when you start digging your nail into my ear like that it really hurts"

Masumi looked to Caster with a worried look "Bitten and Electrocuted I really have to worry what your life was like when you say things like that"

Giving a slight shrug with his shoulders the pair continued to walk on "So whats the plan now"

Tilting her head from side to side a few times as she walked Masumi began to wonder "Well I suppose we'll need to be extra cautious for the time being especially of Berserker and his master they seem a little full of themselves but that could make them even more dangerous they don't seem all that dumb either so they'll probably be cautious of us even if they believed our earlier act"

"What Berserker said has me worried about the act I don't exactly know about this age of god stuff all that much but he knew my power was something that probably shouldn't exist"

Turning a corner and heading towards a shop Masumi crossed her arms "I wouldn't be to worried about that I've already thought up an excuse for your power, we'll say you had fragments of the Rho Aias transplanted into your right hand that should cover that"

Looking to Masumi with a questioning gaze Caster spoke "For such a shy girl you sure do think fast"
"I have to considering what we want to do we'll probably be a major enemy for quite a few Masters in this war if not all of them"

"The Servants to..."

"Hum but aren't the Servants mainly just here to help there master achieve there goal"

"In some cases yet but you can have some greedy servants at time or just questionable servants well thats if these details in my head are right at least but one thing I know for sure... Caster the real Caster he's a threat"

Suddenly Caster and Masumi heard an alarm going off

Masumi began to look around curiously "A house alarm did something happen, might be someone trying to break into someones house if so what a sad thing for a person to do"

Looking to her side Masumi noticed Caster had already run off in the direction of the alarm slight tears appeared in her eyes "That Idiot why does he keep doing this to me" Masumi gave chase to her Servant
