Rider looked back to the black knight and hummed at this new information.
"Looks like it'll be another difficult enemy." Irisveil muttered to Saber as she too could tell about Berserker's unknown Skill.
"Another player again…" Ozpin comments as he narrows his eyes on the battle.
"Indeed." James agreed with his friend. "At this point, anything can happen."
Saber nodded while not looking away from her foes. "That Heroic Spirit has some curse or special ability that conceals everything about him. But that's not all." Saber continued. "With four others present, we'll have to be very careful."
"Five out of seven Servant's in one area…" Glynda muttered, right, there is actually a sixth but is currently only monitoring even she wouldn't know what to do in such a situation.
Behind Kiritsugu's night vision scope, he focuses his gaze towards Berserk, who turned it's head to focuses its gaze towards Archer. "Why did he materialize here?" Maiya questioned through his headpiece.
"Because Kariya told him too?" Ruby raised a brow.
"No sane Master would choose to send out his Servant amidst all this chaos." The Magus Killer said as continues to watch. "Maiya, keep watching Assassin. I'll look for Berserker's Master."
"Oh!" The reaper said, understanding what Kiritsugu, but that made her even confused. "Then why did Kariya did that?"
"I fear Kariya might not be… in his best choice of mind when he made the decision." Ozpin said as he tried to piece the best words he can.
Few of the viewers cringed at the thought of it after what he went through to become a Master.
"I'm sure Kariya will make it through this." Pyrrha confidently said fro the disabled Magus.
"Yeah! I mean, someone who went through that kind of pain won't lose that easily." Ruby agreed with her friend making the others smile at their positiveness.
The diety lowered his head, not showing his sadness with the others as he knows what sad fate the Master of Berserker will happen in the end.
Back at the docks, Archer looks down towards Berserker while the Servant stares back at him.
"Uh-oh… that's doesn't look good…" Jaune nervously said, not liking at how Archer is looking at Berserker.
"Hey… ah, D, can you… ah, show us Archer's stats." Yang asked, nearly afraid of what the answer would be.
"Oh! Thanks for reminding me." D said as he waved his hands, showing the stats on the screen.

"Oh my gosh! What the hell is up with his stats!" Jaune screamed out, seeing how wholly broken the Servant is.
"What the heck! His Alignment is Chaotic Good?!" Tai says in disbelief. "I get the chaotic part, but in which part is this guy good?"
"What is… Golden Rule?" Ghira wonders.
"It is a Skill that refers to the measurement of one's fortune to acquire wealth." D answers.
"Wealth? How… wealthy are we talking about?" Weiss asked before regretting the question.
"Being fated a life that is filled with riches, he can live like a millionaire. Gilgamesh lives the life of a nabob and has no money troubles for the entirety of his life. In the legend, he did claim all the world's treasures as his own and is said to have infinite wealth in his Golden Capital."
Everyone's jaws dropped at the bombshell of information. In their heads, they couldn't help but feel dumbstruck and jealous such a filthy rich ability exists.
"That is soooooo, unfair," Yang said, not helping to be jealous at the filthy rich king.
"And…" Ozpin was next to ask but gulped at fearing at how his question will be answered. "What is Divinity?" Seeing that gods are the only ones to hold that kind of power, he couldn't help but wonder why the King of Heroes would inherit this power.
D inwardly smirked as he answered the question. "Divinity is the measure of whether one has Divine Spirit aptitude or not. In other words, those who have closely connected to the gods either being ones themselves or descendants of them."
"WHAT?!" Everyone screamed at once, not believing in what they just heard.
"You're telling us that prideful jerk is a god?!" Roman shut with his eyes wide open along with Neo having a hard time processing it.
"Technically, he's two-thirds of a demigod, but yeah, he's also a god." D shrugs not affected by their continuous shocks of surprise.
"I… I-I can't…" Winter stuttered having a difficult time processing this information heck, and everyone listening was stuck in minds regarding this all.
"So… he's the first king of the world… he's filthy stinking rich… and part god…" Qrow points the facts then takes a stiff drink from his flask. "I'm not drunk enough for this."
Then there minds all snaped when they all saw Ruby raised a hand, albeit shaking. "I… have a question…"
"Ruby, No!" Weiss screamed in horror.
"Rubes, please! I don't know how much more I can take this!" Yang begged her little sister.
"Ruby… don't…" Blake cried, hoping that it will end soon.
Everyone also voiced their displeasure, not wanting to learn more. Some stayed quiet, but they're faced too showed begging to let it end, which made Ruby shrunk in her chair.
"Enough!" D shouts making everyone comply immediately, he looks around then nods at approval then looks at Ruby. "What's your question."
"I… I was wondering about Archer's Gate of Babylon?" Ruby nervously asks.
"Yes… Gate of Babylon: The King's Treasure is the "Golden Capital" that the "King's Treasury" of Gilgamesh, and the golden key connected to it. It combines the space of reality to the vault, opening an "invisible door" between dimensions that allows for the contents to pass through upon their owner's command." D answers while everyone slowly nods as the calmed down. "It's basically where Archer puts all his belongings in."
"Okay… but I couldn't help that he also has another Noble Phantasm…" Ruby asked while the others also blinked and noticed that fact. "Does that mean he has something just as powerful from his main NP?"
D just stayed quiet and stared at the young huntress as if he was debating on how to answer her, which was making her fidget nervously. "All you need to know is that Gilgemsh only uses it to those he deems worthy on." With that note, he starts the screen again as soon as everyone was ready. But this made them question the cryptic answer D said, what exactly was the other NP that made the deity answer like that.
"Who gave you permission to gaze upon me, rabid dog?" The King of Heroes narrowed his eyes towards the black knight as his Gate of Babylon turns its position to target him and the two weapons to glow as violently vibrate. "May your scattered remains entertain me, mongrel."
(OST: The Battle is To The Strong)
With that declaration, both the sword and halberd shooting down towards the mad Servant. The moment they made close contact, the projectiles exploded, echoed the area, blowing up the road from the explosive blast.
"It's Assassin all other again!" Ruby shouts as she held her partner.
"Ruby!" The heiress said.
"And in close range and speed, the probability of surviving that is very low." Penny calculated.
Saber extended her arms as she shields Iri from the debris, as soon as the wind died down she gasps in shock at the scene as the smoke clears the figure of Berseker standing can be seen.
"Is that really Berserker?" Lancer says in shock as the smoke begins to clear away.
"Not anymore sadly," Sienna said, immediately dismissing the Mad Servant.
"He's very versatile for a madman who has lost his ability to think." Rider said in amusement whiles Waver looks at him, both shocked and confused.
"What?" The White Fang leader perked up in surprise in what the Servant said along with the others. Then they heard a chuckle from the diety.
"This is my favorite part of the show," D said as he gave out a bloodthirsty smirk making the others slightly fearful at the sudden change of personality. He notices and just smiles at them. "You'll understand soon enough."
"What? You couldn't tell? That black thing easily caught the first sword that flew towards him and used it to deflect the second spear as it approached."
Just as Rider explains, a flashback of the scene shows how Berserker did. First, the sword shot towards Bersker at an alarming speed nearly close in piercing through Berserker's helmet. However, the Servant of Madness ducked down, dodging the shot then twisted his body to catch the hilt of the sword. With now a weapon on his hand, he turned back to the spear that was about to strike him but only to explode the moment Berserker struck it down with the sword.
Everyone was struck speechless at what they just witnessed. Not only did Berserker survived, but he even managed to counter with Archer's weapon.
"That. Was. Awesome!" Ruby gleefully screamed in awe when she saw what Berserker could do.
"How? My calculations… I never predicted he could survive like this." Penny said in both shock and awe, seeing how wrong her calculations where.
"What crazy agility!" Pyrrha comments in awe. "How is it possible to move that way with that amount of armor?"
"Did you see the way he caught that sword and used it!?" Jaune shouted in awe. "That was incredible."
The black knight stood tall as he gripped the sword on his hand as he raised his head towards the Servant of the Bow.
"Damn, he's standing like a badass!" Yang grinned, liking this Servant.
"You don't need to tell me twice!" Coco grinned with her liking the Servants style, not his clothing, but how he brings himself.
"Oh, oh, oh! Breaks some legs, Berserker!" Nora cheered, and surprisingly Neo smirked at the idea as she also started liking Berserker.
"How dare you lay your filthy hands on my treasure…" Gilgamesh said unamused as he now fully turned to the mad dog. "You must want to die really badly, dog!" As she shouted rage, more weapons appeared from his Noble Phantasms counting to sixteen arms. All of them, Noble Phantasms, not just swords and spears but now with axes, hammers, halberds, and even bladed weapons of strange shape. Every one of them aimed at Berserk.
"He can expand that much!?" Glynda's eyes widen at the range of Gate of Babylon; Archer has released.
"This is so cool and frightening all together!" Ruby screamed in excitement as she jumps up and down from her seat. Even Velvet couldn't control herself from taking pictures in both fear and excitement.
"That's ridiculous!" Waver shouts in a mixture of awe, fear, and disbelief while both Saber and Iri gasped at the scene.
"Looks like it's going to be a battle between Archer and Berserker," Qrow said as he focuses on the battle.
"Yeah… let's see how this plays out." Tai said.
"Just how long can your impudent thievery keep you alive? Show me!" Archer shouts as the Berserker readies himself.
"Is he really mindless?" Ren questioned, remembering the Skill, Mad Enhancement. He didn't need to be a genius to guess what that term meant. "He seems so ready for combat."
"Just because Servants under the Berserker Class under the influence of Mad Enhancement doesn't entirely make them lose their sanity, but it gives the Servant a tremendous boost in their other abilities and skills." D answers.
"I see."
By the King of Heroes command all the weapons shot down forward like deadly rain, it scattered all around the mad Servant. Yet despite it, all Berserk did not appear to be feared. Was it because of the Mad Enhancement? Never the less, the Servant faces him.
"Why isn't he running!?" Velvet shouts in shock.
The first weapon that attempted to strike him was a spear. However, with Berserker's quick reflexes, he avoided the attack and caught the arm with his free left hand, his feet slide backward from the impact but halted. Immediately he used the spear to strike an incoming weapon and another then a third and fourth.
"He's even strong enough to catch them, let alone not being blown away?!" Blake shouts.
"He can even dual wield with different weapons," James said, impressed by the Servant's skill in weaponry.
Two more followed, Berserker noticed. The projectiles exploded upon impact, creating a smokescreen. The mad Servant jumped out of the smoke unharmed and still holding the two weapons. A sword pursued him, but Berserker complies by throwing his own sword against it striking it out of the way.
"He even has good aim!" Ruby squeaked though it wasn't a gun, but she couldn't help but squeal at the accuracy of the throw.
Then an axe came spinning towards him. Yet Berserker quickly caught the projectile with his free hand and made it his own. He used his new weapon to cut down in incoming spear, which flew by him and exploded the moment it hit the cargo crates.
"That's so badass!" Yang and Jaune shouted together in complete awe.
"He didn't even need to look at the explosion behind him!" Nora screamed in excitement.
"Damn, Berserker's got style." Qrow grinned, liking what the Servant did.
Berserker then stood up and stabbed the spear to the ground, and in a second, he caught a sickle that charged towards him. With the two weapons on his hand, he deflected all the projectiles that charged at him. Then finally, the last one shot towards him, this one looking like a lance that sparked electricity. Without hesitation, the Servant of Madness struck down, making the projectile explode, leaving a cloud of smoke and cracks of thunder affected on the ground.
"Oh no!" Penny shouted, nearly getting off from her seat.
"Is it over!?" Tai shouted, wondering what happens next along with the others.
Archer watches high above the street light with his arms crossed, waiting for the results of his attack.
Suddenly two of his captured weapons shot out from the smoke, both aimed at the King of Heroes. In response, he was forced to jump out of the way. However, the ax and the sickle hit the street light. The ax hit the top and sickle hitting bottom, destroying the street light and leaving behind a long pole that fell on the ground.
"Oh-ho-ho! Did you see that!?" Coco cheered at Berserker's attack towards Archer.
"What a clever surprise attack," Winter said, approved by the unexpected attack towards the enemy Servant.
"Despite the Servants Class, I can't help but be impressed by Berserke sheer skill with weaponry, agility, and reaction time," Glynda said, amazed at how the battle played out.
"Indeed, Glynda," Ozpin answers, also amazed by Berserker's skills. "I wonder who he is to wield such skill."
"You'll find out in the end." D mentally said while he still held the smirk.
Gilgamesh landed on the ground, unscathed. However, he began to tremble. If one was to see carefully, you could see his rage radiating from him. "How dare you… You're making me stand on the same ground as you? I, who belong among the heavens?! Your impudence has sealed your eternal doom!" As he yelled, he extended his arms, and Archer's Gate of Babylon expanded behind him. What were sixteen weapons now jumped to thirty-two, each with a variety of different Noble Phantasms.
"Holy!" Ghira reeled back on his seat after seeing so many weapons at once.
"Goodness! Just how much can that man use that gate of his!?" Kali shouts as she held her husband's arm.
"Damn… does he look angry." Sienna smirked, enjoying the expression the King of Heroes is making. She couldn't help but start liking Berserker granted she knows full well that the Servant is clearly a human and not a Faunus, but she'll allow this guilty pleasure for now.
"Nothing will remain of your corpse, mongrel!" The Servant of Madness simply stood saying nothing as he gazes towards Archer, not intimidated at all by his threats.
"Look at Berserker! He's making a 'give your best shot' look." Nora laughs at how cool the Mad Servant is.
"Yeah! Talk about badassery!" Yang grins, getting to like the Servat as well.
"I can see why you enjoy this part of the story," Blake said towards D with a grin on her face, feeling satisfied with Archer's anger towards Berserker.
"Yup," D answers as the deity felt happy as the viewers enjoyed this epic battle.
(OST ends)
(OST: Confrontation)
Up on the crane where Assassin silently watches the battle, Kotomine watches through his eyes. "Gilgamesh is serious." The Master of Assassin said.
Back in Tokiomi's workshop, Kirei continues to speak through the phonograph to his mentor. "He intends to open the Gate of Babylon even further."
"How rash of him to repeatedly expose his Noble Phantasm for all to see." The Master of Archer says calmy, but just by looking at him, anyone can tell that he was disappointed.
"Looks like Tokiomi doesn't agree with his Servant's action." Velvet comments.
"Good." Yang crosses her arms as glared at the Master of Archer. "If something like this can give a disadvantage to that bastard of a father, then I'm all good for Archer for showing off his skills."
"Agreed." Surprisingly Weiss nodded agreement with her fellow teammate. Winter understood what she meant feeling the same way, never liking the Tohsaka head after what he did to his daughter.
"Your decision, my master?"
Tokiomi raises his right hand and looks at the back of it where his Command Seals are found.
"He's going to use his Command Seal?" Pyrrha blinked in surprise that the Master would be the first to use the spell so early in the war.
"Seeing who he is going to use it on, I can't help but agree with the decision he's making," Ren said.
He takes a deep breath and closes his eyes. At that moment, the Seals began to glow red. "By the power of my Command Spell… Quell thine anger and withdraw, King of Heroes." At his command, the Command Spells grew more brightly.
"So, that is how you use them…" Ozpin rubbed his chin as he carefully studied the mechanics in using the seal.
Back in the battle, Archer felt a twitch in his mind, no doubt being forced to obey the words of the Command Spell.
Gilgamesh looks up as he narrows his eyes with fury for being ordered in such a way. "You dare to order a king to withdraw?! You've got some nerve, Tokiomi." With that, a raised his arm and quickly dispelled Gate of Babylon, including the scattered weapons as they dematerialized into particles around the area.
"Ha!" Qrow laughed. "Guess even the almighty king can't go against a simple command like that."
"Is it wrong that a feel satisfied with that?" Ruby smile nervously as she shrunk back at her chair.
"Nope!" Yang grinned, hugging her little sister. "Nothing wrong with having a bit of guilty pleasure." Ruby awkwardly laughed at the truth.
"You are fortunate, rabid dog." The King of Heroes said to Berserker, now being calmed down. Instead, being forced too. "Mongrels." He called out to the other Servants and Masters. "See that you've culled your numbers by our next meeting. Only a true hero is worthy of looking upon me." After saying his piece, he disappears the same way he appeared.
"Awe… it's over…" Nora pouts in slight disappointment.
"Yeah… I kinda wanna see how it ends." Jaune honestly said, wanting to know the victor of the fight.
"We might see another fight later on the story." Pyrrha smiled towards her partner, which he smiled in return.
(OST ends)
Rider hummed as he crossed his arms as he did not look away from Archer's previous position. "It would appear the Master isn't as stubborn as Archer is."
"You have no idea, Rider." Tai deadpans while the other nod in agreement.
At that moment, there was a sense of relief now that the Servant of the Bow as now left. However, Saber twitched as she sensed someone was glaring at her. She quickly looked at the direction she was sensing, only to find that it is Berserker gazing at her.
Everyone felt a chill as they saw Berserker staring straight towards the Servant of the Sword.
"W-Why is Berserker staring at Saber like that?" Velvet squeaked as she slightly shivered at the Mad Servant's piercing gaze.
"It would seem Berserker still wishes for more combat." Glynda summerize not noticing the slight frown from D.
The Servant of Madness stood there for a moment. Only to suddenly begin to shake violently, making a creaking sound, making the Servant of the Sword's eyes widen as she gasps at his behavior.
"What in-" James stuttered before finishing his sentence. The reason was because of what they all seen on the screen.
"GRRHHHHRRRHHGG!" Berserker roared out as his armor began to bent out of shape as black tendrils came out of its back as the miasma surrounding him began to thicken and expand.
"WHOA!" Almost everyone cried out in complete shock while others had stunned looks of shock.
"What's happening to Berserker?!" Nora shouts as she points at the screen
"I don't know!" Ruby squeaks as she holds Weiss out of fear.
"It would seem we are now witnessing Berserker's 'madness' taking effect." Ozpin deduces as he, too, was surprised by the sudden change of the Servant of Madness.
"Irisviel, stand back!" Saber yelled as she stepped forward, preparing herself against the Mad Servant.
(OST: A Chaser)
Berserker dashed to the side, picking up the broken remains of the lamppost and charges towards Saber.
"Did he just grabbed the piece of the lamppost?!" Coco points out. "Is he going to use it as a weapon?"
"What good will that do?" Ren said. "I doubt using that will last against Saber's weapon. "
"WRRGGGHHHH!" He leaps up with a roar and slams the pole against Saber with the intent to crush her, but she blocks the attack with her invisible sword.
Saber gritted her teeth as she defended against the attack. Her eyes suddenly widen as she took a closer look at the appearance of Berserker's weapon. "What?" She murmured as the pole before turned entirely black and filled with red vines.
"What?!" Ren gasps in surprise.
"What happened to the pole?!" Ruby shouted in confusion. "It's color looks just exactly like Berserker's!"
"And the said pole didn't snap upon impact!" Penny pointed out in shock as well.
Berserker roared as he presses the attack on her, but Saber parried the attack and steps forward to deliver a spinning slash towards the Mad Servant.
However, Berserker blocked the attack in time. By digging his feet to the ground, he was able to not get too far from his target.
"Is this Berserker's Noble Phantasm in play?" Winter says as she carefully studied the seemingly enchanted weapon that the Servant of Madness wields.
Waver, and Rider watched. The Servant of the Mount cupped his chin as he studied the battle. Especially towards Berserker. "So that's it." He muttered. "Anything that black thing grabs becomes his Noble Phantasm."
"I see…" Ozpin says as he now understood how Berserker was able to face against Archer. "His Nobel Phantasm allows him to make anything he comes into contact with makes it his own. Also, that black substance around the pole seems to increase its durability and strength."
Ruby gasped in horror. "Does that mean even our weapons can be under his control!"
After saying that, almost everyone in the room couldn't help but shudder at the idea that their personalized weapons would be used against them even more frightening is their appearances would change the moment Berserker would take them.
"I hope Berserker doesn't take Saber's weapon." Velvet says while she took a picture of Berserker's weapon.
"You think you'll be able to copy that pole of his," Coco whispers to Velvet.
"I honestly don't know…" The Rabbit Faunus whispers back. "But, it's worth a shot."
Saber grits her teeth in as she hissed in pain. She looks down her arm, with her left tendon injured she has no proper grip on her sword.
"That's right! I forgot about Sabers' injury." Blake points out.
"It was difficult when she first faced Lancer, but now facing Berserker… I fear her odds have now dropped." Ren said fearing for the King of Knights' wellbeing.
"Saber!" Irisviel warned Saber, her eyes widen, seeing Berserker charged towards her. She blocks the first attack and jumps back, and she gasps in pain as she was now forced into the defense by the Mad Servant's continuous attacks.
At Kiritsugu's viewpoint, he watches the battle through his night vision scope. "Well, Maiya? Can you see Berserker's Master?"
"Planning to take out Kariya, huh?" Tai said as he narrowed his eyes.
"No! Kariya can't die! Who will save Sakura then?" Kali shouts, making the others flinch nearly forgetting the poor girl and the reason the Master joined the war.
"No, I cannot." Maiya answers, through his earpiece.
The Magus Killer now points his scope towards Assassin. Seeing that he hasn't changed his position at all. "This is bad." Kiritsugu gritted his teeth in anger as he knows that if he intervenes in any way, he will give his position away. "Damn it."
"This is bad indeed…" James agreed not to know what to do in such a delicate situation. "What are your thoughts, Specialist Schnee?"
Winter took a moment to reason at the situation at a third-person perspective but sighed in the end. "In all honesty, sir, targeting the Master would be the best choice, but it will take time, and seeing how the situation is there are too many risks that will happen even by a single action." The General hummed and nodded at assessment she noted even he has to agree that there are too many risks to take.
Back in the battle, Saber pushes back from Berserker's last attack, forcing her back.
Saber grits in pain before straitening herself. "Who exactly are you?"
"Arrgh..." Berserker growled as he twirled his weapon around before charging again.
"Is growling and snarling all he can do?" Roman said, can't helping being disturbed by its voice.
"Few under the Class sadly lose the ability to have proper speaking skills," D answers, getting a node form the thief.
Both Servants clashed with each other. However, the last attack Saber was able to block temporally paralyzed her due to the pain. In that short moment, Berserker twirled the pole around and roared as he aimed towards the opening that is the left side of Arturia's head.
"Oh no!" Ruby screamed as she watched in horror seeing that Saber was about to be struck down hard by Berserker's counterattack.
(OST ends)
But before the attack could reach her, a red flash and the sound of steel sliced in the air. What came crashing down was a piece of Bereskers weapon stabbed on the concrete ground.
"W-What?" Ruby stutter, not expecting anything else to happen while the others are shocked at what happened.
How it happens was thanks to Lancer's timely intervention. He kneeled on the ground with his main Noble Phantasm pointing in the air, likely what he used to protect Saber. By using Gáe Dearg, he was able to stop not only the attack but also cut Berserker's weapon thanks to the spear's properties.
"Lancer!" Most of the students cheered at the unexpected assist from the Servant of the Lance.
"I honestly wasn't expecting Lancer to jump in like that!" Yang grinned, being grateful for Lancer for doing what he did.
"Yeah, glad there was at least someone who stood up for her," Jaune said, feeling relieved.
"That's enough messing around, Berserker." The Servant of the Lance said as he stood straight and pointed his weapon against him much to Saber's surprise as he rose to defend her. "Saber already has business with me. I won't just ignore it if you insist on interfering further."
"He still wants to finish his battle with Saber?" Glynda asked honestly, surprised that Lancer still wishes to finish what he and Saber have started.
"How very honorable of him," Ozpin said, respecting the man more than before. He wasn't the only one most of the viewers now hold a better light of him and great respect for his decision to save Saber.
The Servant of Madness just stood there, listening to what Lancer said. His responses were only having a good look at his now shortened weapon.
Yang laughs at Berserker's reaction. "Wow… even after all that he doesn't seem faced at all."
"Isn't that because of his Madness?" Weiss pointed out.
"Lancer…" Saber muttered, not being sure how to respond to his declaration.
"What are you doing, Lancer?" Kayneth's voice echoed, getting everyone's attention. "This is your chance to defeat Saber."
"Stay out this, you lousy excuse for a professor! This is the Servants' time to shine." Qrow growled at coward of a Master who was still hiding all this time.
"I'm surprised you actually said that," Winter said, surprised that the drunk Huntsman would stick up for the Servant.
"Hey, just because I drink a lot doesn't mean I can't be honorable now, can I?" Qrow shrugs while the Specialist just stares at hi for a moment before turning back to the screen.
"I will slay Saber! I, Diarmuid Ua Duibhne, swear this on my honor!" The Celtic knight declared as he begged his Master. "But please watch as I take care of this rabid dog first." The Servant announced again as he pointed Gáe Dearg towards the black knight. "Please, my lord!"
"My respect for just grew Diarmuid Ua Duibhne," Weiss said, smiling now she and the other girls completely forgetting his previous taunt against Saber.
There was a moment of silence after what the knight of Fianna said. In Kayneth's position, he merely stared down on the field unknown to all (except for the Magus Killer). What took like hours ended when the Master of Lancer finally opened his mouth. "With my Command Spell, I order you…"
"WHAT?!" Yang shouts in rage as she nearly stood up from her seat.
"Bastard!" Tai also shouts in rage.
"He wouldn't!" Jaune shouts while all the others had a mixture of shock and rage, all knowing what the Master of Lancer was going to do.
"My Lord!" The Servant of the Lance shouted, hoping his Master would not do what he think is doing.
Kayneth takes off his right glove, which hides his Command Spells, "Assist Berserker and…" and it begins to glow. "…Kill Saber."
The viewers were stunned silent after hearing what Kayneth had just said and ordered, and there was only quiet anger that soured in the air of the viewing room.
"That piece of scum…" Surprisingly it was Ruby, the one who broke the silence with an angry whisper.
(OST: Back to the Wall)
Everyone was shocked in silence after hearing Kayneth's forceful command.
Lancer only stood quiet after hearing his Master's command. The Servant of the Lance slowly turned his head, and in a blur of red and yellow strikes suddenly came forcing Saber to jump back from the Celtic knight.
"No! Lancer!" Velvet shouts in horror.
Saber landed on the ground and looked back at the Servant. "Lancer." The Servant of the Sword said with concern but to slightly flinched at seeing the state the fellow Servant is in.
Lancer was struggling as his body was trembling as he gritted his teeth and narrowed his eyes as he struggled to control his body.
"He looks like he's in pain…" Ghira points feeling hurt at how such a noble hero is reduced to this.
"So this is what happens to a Servant who tries to deny a Command Spell." Ren narrowed his eyes at the cruelty the Master is forcing towards his Servant.
"This… this is wrong." Weiss slowly shakes her head in anger bringing the memory of how her father would force things on to her simply just to make himself look good. Even Winter had the same thought as she narrowed her eyes disgust.
Seeing this opportunity, Berserker walks next to him, not bothered at all at this new development. Lancer stood straight, albeit forced to, now stands next to the Mad Servant. "Saber, I'm sorry." His voice shakes as he continues to struggle for control.
"So, Berserker is sane enough to understand which side to take?" Pyrrha skeptically said.
"So, not cool!" Nora angrily shouts. "Please don't tell me Kariya is actually allowing this!?"
"I hope not…" Ruby sadly mutters as she understands Kariya would go far to save Sakura but not like this. Noticing this, Weiss held Ruby's hand for comfort while Yang hugged her.
Saber narrowed her eyes in understanding. Before she took a battle stance, she quickly glanced on her side. "Irisveil, I'll stop them." She calls out to her False Master as the two Servants slowly begin to walk towards her. "Take this chance to run. As far away as you can." Irisveil listened to what the King of Knights said, yet she only shook her head in denial, not wanting to leave her behind.
"Even under overwhelming odds against her, she refuses to falter," Sienna said as she begins to have some respect towards the King of Knights.
Berserker and Lancer took their battle stances. "Irisveil, please!" Saber shouts as she begins to beg.
"Listen to her woman! Not unless you end being a piece of stane on the floor." Roman said while Neo nodded in agreement, heck, even she would have a hard time facing the powerful foes even by herself.
The homunculus held both her hands on her chest before she clenched them together. "It'll be fine, Saber." She looks up to the Servant with a determined look on her face. "Believe in your Master!"
Jaune gasp. "Is Kiritsugu about do something?!"
"What can he do in a situation like this?!" Blake skeptically said at the same time felt anxious about what the Magus Killer will do.
Saber's eyes slightly widen at what Iri's words meant as she narrowed her eyes. "Kiritsugu is here?"
"She doesn't know that he's here?" Pyrrha said, surprised by that fact.
"Then how did Iri knew that Kiritsugu is here?" Penny wondered.
"Kayneth did make Lancer call everyone within range." Weiss reminded them. "So, I guess the possibility that Iri knew that Kiritsugu would also be there."
"Kiritsugu, I know you can turn this into a victory." Iri said in her thoughts as Kiritsgu begins to prepare his counterattack.
"She has so much faith towards him," Glynda said, feeling a bit hurt being reminded what the Magus Killer is doing behind her back.
"So what will you do, Magus Killer." Ozpin wondered out loud as he was curious about how he turn this fight around even James is interested in how it will work.
"I'll kill Lancer's Master now." The Magus Killer said as he points his sniper rifle towards Kaynths position now, his scope switched to infrared while instructing Maiya. "It's the only way out of this"
"But if he does that, he will alert Assassin." Penny points out the flaw in his plan.
"Maiya, attack Assasin on my mark." The Magus Killer ordered as Maiya runs towards the location of Assassin while being careful. "Suppressive fire."
"Roger." Maiya answers as she continues.
"I see…" Winter says as she cups her chin with her hands. "By distracting Assassin, it would hide Kiritsugu's present."
"But wouldn't that get Maiya in danger?" Ruby said in worry for the woman's safety. She may not have a first good impression of her with Kiritsugu, but that doesn't mean she wants to see her getting hurt or worse.
"I think she does know Ruby." Qrow answers to her niece. "She's willing to take the risk to win the fight."
Back to Kiristugu, he has a full open shot towards Kayneth. He slowly puts his finger on the trigger as he begins to countdown. "Six."
Everyone silently watched as they watched as the tense atmosphere grew. Plus, the countdown didn't help with it.
Berserker and Lancer begin their charge towards Saber. "Five."
Irisviel closes her eyes as she prays for Kritsugu's intervention while Saber readies herself against the two Servants. "Four."
Rider frowns at the scene he is watching. "Three."
Kiritsugu narrows his eye towards the scope as he aims directly towards Keyneth's heart. "Two."
Kiritsugu then gets ready to take the shot. "One."
Everyone braced themselves as they waited for the outcome.
(OST ends)
But before he could make the shot, the sound of thunder scattered around and the sound of a chariot pulled by the sound of hooves. This forces the Magus Killer to look down at the sudden turn of events.
"RIDER?!" Almost everyone screamed the Servant of Mount's name in the combination of shock, relief, and joy.
"AAAAARARARARARAIIII!" Rider roared as he marches his chariot to battle.
"YEAH!" Nora cheered the loudest seeing that her favorite Servant has taken the initiative to stop this nonsense.
Also followed by a motion-sick Waver gurgled spit from his mouth and tears from his eyes as he made gurgle noise.
"Seriously…?" Weiss just shacked her head in disappointment but couldn't help but smile.
The chariot charged towards the two Servants. Lancer was the first to notice Rider, and without hesitation, he quickly jumps out of the way. However, Berserker was the last to see before it was too late.
"Oh, that doesn't look good," Qrow said when he and the others know well what's going to happen next.
Two of Rider's Divine Bulls' eyes glowed red as they closed into the Mad Servant as they trampled over him to the ground leaving a trail of thunder.
Berserker forcefully rolled on the ground as the chariot passes by him as he crashes to the ground.
"Ooh…" Mostly everyone cringed at the sight of Berserker being trampled by Rider's chariot.
Saber and Lancer watched Rider hummed in amusement at the sight of Berserker, who was trying to get up on his feet. "He's quite the tough one."
"Even with our Aura protecting us, doubt anyone would come out unscathed." Tai winced with a few others at the thought of being trampled by a moving vehicle. Even if there Aura can shield them, it won't change the fact they could still feel the amount of pain going through you.
The Servant of Madness tried to get up but only stay on the ground, which resulted in him dematerializing from the field.
"And he's outta here." Yang sighs in relief.
"That's another Servant out of the fight for now," Blake says, relieved that the Mad Servant has now left, much to the other's relief.
"As you can see, our black friend has retired for the evening." Rider mused before he lifted his head and narrowed his eyes at the sky. "Lancer's Master. I don't know where you're watching from, but don't use petty tricks to spoil a battle between knights!"
"You tell him Rider!" Nora cheered.
"Kayneth truly is a petty man." Winter points out disappointed such a man with a successful career would act in such a way. In all honesty, she couldn't stop comparing this man to her father more of a reason for her growing dislike of him.
"Withdraw Lancer." The King of Conquerors ordered while the said Servant stood while doing nothing, still struggling form the Command Spell as his hands trembled when holding his weapons. "If you insist on humiliating him any further, then I shall assist Saber. The two of us will annihilate your Servant together. What will you do?" He smirked in the end.
"You better listen to the big if you know what good for you, Kayneth," Coco smirked with satisfaction as she enjoyed the king talking down to the Master.
In Kayneth's position, he snarled at how the tables turned against him this way but quickly calmed himself. "Withdraw, Lancer. That's enough for tonight."
"Smartest thing that man has done so far," Jaune comments, feeling pleased that Kayneth gave up.
"Agreed." Ren nodded towards his team leader.
At that command, his hands begin to relax, showing that he is no longer under the influence fo the Command Spell. "My thanks, King of Conquerors." The Celtic knight thanked the king.
"Glad that Lancer is now free from that order." Pyrrha smiled happy that the Servant is free from the burden.
"It was nothing." The Servant of the Mount casually said with a goofy smile on his face. "I enjoy watching the flowers of a battlefield in bloom."
"'The flowers of a battlefield in bloom.'" Ozpin echoed in interest. "That is oddly an interesting quote."
Lancer nods in appreciation then turn to Saber, who then nods to him as well. With that, Lancer vanishes, leaving Saber and Rider along with their respective Masters.
"Now, it's just Saber and Rider left." Velvet said. "I hope they don't have to fight next."
"Don't worry, bun-bun. I'm sure Rider will leave on a good note." Coco tells her teammate in a positive note.
The docks now remained silent, only the sound of the waves of the ocean hitting the beach docks and the sound of the winds as they blew across the cold night. It was as if the battle never happened despite the damage around the area.
Saber was the first to break that silence. "What exactly was your intent when you first arrived, King of Conquerors?"
"Wasn't just to try and recruit one of the Servants?" Ghira says, confused why the King of Knights asked that question.
"Perhaps, there was more to it," Penny said.
(OST: If You Leave)
"No idea." The king answered honestly as he cupped his chin. "I don't really think about these things."
"What?" Weiss says in disbelief. "You mean to tell me he just charges in without thinking?"
Yang, Nora, Qrow, Coco, and Roman laughs at the King of Conquerors' way of handling things.
"Saber." Rider calls out to her as he focused his gaze towards her twitching left hand. "Settle matters with Lancer first. I shall then face the victor, be that you or Lancer." Saber raises her left hand and looks at it as it twitches, knowing what the fellow king is talking about.
"But how can Saber fight with an injured hand that been cursed?" Ruby worriedly says, wondering how she can fight without using both her hands.
"There are only two options in this situation," D says. "You have to eliminate the said Servant or destroy the said Noble Phantasm."
"Easier said than done," Kali says admittingly thinking that was a difficult task to handle.
"Goodbye for now, King of Knights! I hope to enjoy our next meeting as much as I did this one." He then looks down on the chariot for his Master. "Hey boy, don't you have anything nice to say?"
He smiled down but only to frown as he bent down to pick up his master by the back of his shirt. Only for him to pass out. "Man, I wish he'd man up a little." Rider sighed in slight annoyance.
"Now, that would be the day." Qrow scoffs in annoyance while a few of the audience chuckled or snickered at the poor Master while Jaune silently thoughts to himself that he never thought he was glad that he never went and did that.
He then looks at Saber with a smile on his face while she smiled in return. With a sound of a rope whipped, lighting sparked marking for Rider's leave. "Farewell!" The Servant shouted as his chariot flew to the sky as leaving Saber and Irisveil behind.
"Glad it ended in a good note despite all the chaos." Ozpin smiled gladly with the fight ended without a casualty.
Saber smiles as she watches them go. "Saber, your left arm!" Iri shouted in concern, cutting Saber's thoughts as she sees her False Master running up to her.
"Yes, it was a serious blunder." The King of Knights admits as looks at her damaged arm. "It's just as Rider said. if I don't deal with Lancer first and undo the curse on this wound, it will damage my chances against the other Servants."
"Indeed. At this moment, Saber is currently at a disadvantage." Winter points out.
Irisviel walks closer to Saber and gently takes her left-hand with both her hands. "Thank you, Saber." The homunculus said as she gently squeezed the Servants hand. "I survived thanks to you."
Most of the girls cooed at the sweet moment the False Master did with the Servant.
Saber gently smiles towards the woman. "I was able to focus on the battle before me because you were protecting my back." The Servant said as she compliments her.
The girls cooed even louder.
"Saber." Iri whispers thanking the King of Knights.
"The battle has begun, Irisveil." Saber said as they let go of each other. "This was merely the first night o the battle to come."
Everyone watched in a severe moment after what Iri just said.
"Indeed." Iri sighed as she and Saber look around of the aftermath of the battle. They see the countless destruction in the docks
"They were all powerful adversaries. Not a single one of them can be taken lightly." Saber said.
"So this is the Holy Grail War." Iri said as she looks up at the night sky.
"So that's the Holy Grail War," Ruby repeated in awe but tilted her head in confusion. "Well, it's not exactly an 'army vs. army' kind of war more like a 'battle royal' kind of war."
"Huh. That's actually a good description of it after seeing this battle." Yang agrees with her younger sister, along with a few others.
(OST ends)
(OST: Nervous)
Somewhere in the docks, the Master of Berserk laughed, a broken laugh at that.
"Kariya!" Jaune says in surprise. "Why is he laughing?"
"It might have to do that his Servant was able to stand his ground against Archer." Ren deduced.
"Not to mentioned he was able to make Tokiomi force Archer to leave," Coco added.
"They all turned and ran away from my Berserker." Kariya laughs as he leaned against the wall. "I also humiliated that arrogant bastard! Tokiomi, if only I could see your bitter face." He laughed before he covered his mouth and started coughing. He got down on his knees and began throwing up blood, along with a few living Crest Worms wriggling about.
"Gross!" Ruby gagged as she looked away long with a few others.
"His condition is getting worse…" Glynda sorrowly said, pushing aside the disturbing scene as she watches the poor man in pain.
"Those things are going to be the death of him." Winter sadly said, feeling the same way as Glynda.
"Damn Berserker for going out of control and attacking Saber…" Kariya gasps in pain.
"Wait, what?" Velvet's eyes widen at what she heard. "So he didn't order Berserker to attack Saber? It was all on his doing?"
"Why did Berserker do that?" Nora wondered.
"D did say that out of all the Servant Classes, Berserker was the difficult one to control." Penny deduces. "Perhaps that may have been the reason."
"You have no idea how far-off the truth your answer is." D thought to himself, knowing the real truth to Berskerer's rageful assault.
He looked at his bloodied hand and clenched it. "I won't last much longer at this rate. But if I can control it, I can win."
"Berserker Class Servants tend to dry their Master's dry due to large consumption of Mana they require," D explains. "Due to this, not only Kariya is suffering from Mana loss but the Crest Worms inside him ae violently being active."
Everyone nearly winced and gagged at that information, feeling even more sorry for him.
He got back on his feet, not before leaning his back against the wall before walking away as he dragged his body against the wall. "Wait for me, Sakura." He mutters in pain.
"You can do this, Kariya…" Ruby whispers, feeling both sad and admiration for the man for making it this far despite all the pain he is experiencing.
Meanwhile, in Kotomine's position, he opens his eyes as he hears footsteps coming from behind him.
"Back to Kotomine now," Yang comments, wondering what will happen now.
"Excuse me, Kirei-sama." The female Assassin greeted her master.
The Master of Assasin turns his back towards her. "What is it?"
"I've come to report that I found something of note outside the church." The Servant of the Shadow bowed and raised her hands, showing a dead bat to him.
"A bat?" Weiss raised, but then a thought came to her. "No… a familiar."
"Could that be one of Kiritsugu's familiar assigned around the church?" Pyrrha guessed.
"A familiar?" The priest questioned, recognizing the creature.
"Yes. It was outside the field, but it was clearly sent to observe this church."
Kotomine took the familiar and looked closely at it before noticing a small camera tied to its leg. The priest could tell that there was something more to this creature than he could expect.
"Uh oh… looks like someone getting suspicious." Blake says, not liking the look on his face.
"Do you think he knows it belongs to Kiritsugu?" Nora asks.
"I'm not sure, Nora," Ren answers for her. "We can only watch what happens next."
Meanwhile, in a hidden location that nobody knows of, Ryuunosuke's shadow was seen dancing by a pillar covered in a splatter of blood.
Everyone tense at the sudden change of scenery along with the disturbing content it showed.
"W-Where-?" Before Ruby could finish her sentence, it was cut by a crazed Master's voice.
"Awesome! That was seriously awesome!" The Master of Caster cheered in excitement as he goofily wondered around, jumping around playing around while his Servant focused mostly on his attention on a glowing crystal ball. "Hey, Mister Bluebeard! That was all real, right? It was all real and not some kind of special effect, right? I can't get enough of it! So, the Grail War, right? You'll take part in all that too, right?"
"Ryuunosuke…!" Qrow growled.
"So that lunatic finally appears." James narrowed his eyes.
"So all this time, they were watching everything in that glowing crystal ball of theirs," Roman says.
"But where are they?" Ruby asked the question again this time with much more resolved anger.
"From what I guess is their hideout." Tai answers for her daughter.
He waited for a response from Caster. "Mister?" He said, noticing that something was wrong.
"Oh, right, creepy was talking to creepo," Yang said, dubbing the Master and Servant's nicknames.
"It came true…" Caster muttered while his voice cracked.
Everyone blinked at what the crazed Caster just said.
"It… came true…?" Jaune slowly said, not understanding what the Servant said.
"The heck is he talking about?" Coco said, slowly getting creeped out.
"It came true?" The serial killer echoed, confused in what the homicidal Servant said. "Uh…"
Caster finally turned to him, and to his surprise, he is crying.
Even everyone was shocked and taken back about what they are watching.
"He's… he's crying?" Weiss says in complete disbelief.
"I-I don't, why is he crying?" Sienna stutters not comprehending this scene at all.
"Things just keep getting weirder and weirder in his show," Roman admits also getting creeped out while Neo nodded, showing a disturbing expression.
"Look at her!" Caster happily cried out. He points his finger towards the crystal ball. "Her very existence is the answer! Her dignified face, her noble posture… She is none other than the maiden of my destiny!"
Everyone listening slowly became more creeped out and disturbed by the second—especially the women who are watching.
Glynda couldn't help swallow a lump on her throat. "What in the name of all Dust and holy is that generic lunatic babbling about!"
Ryuunosuke places his hands on his pockets and walks closer to the crystal ball and had a closer look. He then looks towards the crying Servant. "You know her?"
"H-Her?" Velvet squeaked fearfully. "Who is he talking about?"
"There are only two women, no, three assuming that Miaya was seen in the fight, which is he referring too?" Ozpin says in his head, feeling a sense of dread in what Caster is saying.
"Indeed!" He looks towards his Master. "She was abandoned by God and perished in shame. But she has been revived at last!"
Ozpin's entire body froze, hearing such a familiar yet hearting breaking description the crazed Servant just said. The old man of a lost civilization did his best to calm himself down, fortunate everyone watching where to focus on the screen, either being too shocked and disturbed to notice him. But a specific diety didn't.
"I wonder, Ozma… how will you react when you see Gilles de Rais's past…" D wonders in his head how will the reincarnator will respond towards a similar yet different story of the two.
"What could a miracle of this scale be other than the fulfillment of my wishes?!" Caster gleefully said as he walked up to the crystal ball as his Master watches him. The Servant then touches the ball with both his hands and looks towards him.
"Oh, my maiden… My holy virgin…" Caster narrows his eyes towards the image he sees. The image of Arturia Pendragon. "I will come for you soon."

Episode 5
Howl of a mad Beast
-153:48:51
(The countdown goes down by 2 seconds)
"Holy shit…" Yang swore, creeped out in the ending.
"What in the mother of all Dust did I just see?!" Weiss screamed out, disturbed.
"Does… does Caster know Saber?" Nora shuddered, hoping that she is wrong.
"For everyone's sanity, I will just say, no, they do not know each other directly," D answers much to everyone's relief.
"Then why the hell did Caster acted… that way?" Jaune ask.
"Perhaps a mistake in identity?" Pyrrha suggested.
"Can we please not talk about it…" Ruby asks, shuddering. "I'm not sure I actually want to know the answer." Everyone silently nodded, thinking they don't want to know themselves. With that, they waited for the preview.
(Ending Theme: MEMORIA by Eir Aoi)
Like the last episode, this one is blank.
"The next episode, you can watch the scene then." D reminded thems much to a viewer's joy, finally getting the chance to see most of the Servant's past in the ending scene properly again.
(Ending theme ends)
(OST: To be continued)
"Time for the preview!" Ruby cheered.
The preview opens, showing Kayneth El-Melloi Archibald's Command Spell as it showed full view as the screen slowly zooms in.
"Isn't that Kayneth's Command Spell?" Ghira says.
"I swear that I will bring you Saber's head." Lancer declared.
"It's Lancer's voice!" Jaune said. "I'm guessing he's trying to convince his Master to finish his duel with Saber."
"I hope he gets the chance." Pyrrha hoped.
"The next strike will be for real." Saber threatened towards her enemy.
"Saber? Is she threatening someone?" Penny tilted her head confused
"Aren't you the one who's mistaken?" An unknown woman's voice questioned.
"Another new character?" Coco said, slightly surprised.
"They can enjoy the magical atelier of Kayneth El-Melloi." The Master of Lancer proudly said.
"Looks like Kayneth is preparing for battle," James said as he was interested in this atelier, he is talking about.
The screen quickly drops down now showing Kiritsugu's Command Spell.
"Now its Kiritsugu's Command Spell?" Winter said as she raised an eyebrow.
"You seek to lecture me?" Kotomine's voice questioned.
"Who's Kotomine talking to?" Yang wondered. "And what's this about a lecture?"
"Maybe he's talking to Tokiomi." Blake guessed.
Suddenly in the background of the Command Spell, bright yellow shards scattered around.
"Whoa… what with the light show?" Qrow said, surprised by the sudden action the shards did.
"I've come for you, O Holy Virgin." Caster's voice greeted his target.
Every one shuddered, while the woman shook even harder, hearing those words coming from the mouth of Caster.
"Oh! Sweet Oum, I did not need to hear that!" Sienna shuddered.
"My ears! Oh, my pretty ears!" Nora screamed as she covered her ears with her hands.
"That… that… Chester! Has issues!" Weiss gagged while the others silently nodded in agreement doing the best to keep themselves checked.
(OST ends)
Next Episode
Night of Strategems
"And that's for today, everyone!" D says as the lights in the cinema room slowly turned on, making sure not to harm the viewer's eyes. "I know all of you would like to talk about what you've all seen, and discuss some important matters between one another but I suggest that you all go rest up and head straight to your quarters, you can all talk in the next day."
"But-" Ruby said but was cut off by D.
"No buts. Remember what I said before this episode started I want all of you to adjust yourselves before you can start what you all personally want to do. Right now I want you all to rest up, the young students already know where the rooms are so there's no problem in guiding you there, plus you'll find that your personal or new Scrolls already with you the moment you arrived here."
To a few, there were surprised that their Scroll is with them the moment they pocketed there clothing.
"Tomorrow, after a good meal, we can discuss what comes next." D finishes earning a few nods, and thanks.
After that, everyone slowly walked out of the room, while Ruby stayed back.
"Need something, Red?" D asks.
"I want to say thanks for giving us this kind of chance for our world," Ruby says as she smiles towards the diety, which in return, he just raises an eyebrow.
"Don't thank me, thank T and Zelretch." D shrugs. "He and the old man planned this, and I just got dragged into it."
"Even so, I still want to thank you." Ruby smiled as she begins to walk out of the room.
"Wait." Ruby stopped and turned back to the diety. "Why are you really doing this? Even after learning what you can learn in this place, why did you decide to come here? Is it just to help people or to be somehow close to your mother?"
The young girl was a bit startled by that last question. "How…?" She shakes her head and composes herself. "Right… you're a god. You already know this stuff."
D shrugs. "Your answer?"
Ruby stared at he god for a moment thinking for a proper answer than just smiled at him. "I don't need a reason for doing what I need to do to protect what matters most. And I won't lie about being a Huntress to feel close to my mom. It's just…" She shifted nervously as a hint of red appeared on her cheeks. "I made a promise to myself ever since her passing, that I would become the very hero I've always seen in her."
D's eyes widen a bit at that answer. "I see… I'm sure she would be very proud of what you're striving to be."
"Thanks!" She says sweetly, then felt that there was nothing else to discuss. She bowed her head and walked out of the room, leaving the diety behind.
He stayed in the room for a moment before chuckling. "You were right, old man. She is similar to that, Faker, but you're wrong about one thing. She's way too innocent, well, before the fall of Beacon, of course." The room's light shut off while at the same time, the deity disappeared in the darkness, leaving only an empty room.
