Author's Note: One of the first serious and somewhat successful stories was: The journey of a demi-servant in another dimension.
It's been eight years since I wrote that story, I feel old, but I also feel like a better writer. So I decided to try writing a Fate Stay Night X Young Justice story again.
This time I'll try to follow the main plot of Young Justice, but I'll add my own original episodes or ones inspired by other series.

POV Narrator
[Date: June 4, 2010. Location: Greece, Athens]
Wonder Woman, one of the world's most famous and powerful heroines, is flying over the capital of Greece.
Wonder Woman is a noticeably tall, fair-skinned woman with straight, waist-length black hair, blue eyes, and broad shoulders. She is ageless and attractive in appearance, with a slim, athletic build and a toned, yet muscular body.
She wears a red strapless bustier held up by a golden brace in the shape of two Ws. She has a large golden belt and blue panties with five white stars. She wears red boots with a white stripe down the front.
Wonder Woman wears silver bracelets around her wrists, red star earrings, and wears a golden tiara with a red star on her forehead. She also has a golden lasso, which hangs from her belt when not in use.
The Amazon Princess did not come to Athens to be a carefree tourist or to look at the old monuments that remind her of her home.
Wonder Woman has come here to search for an individual who attracted the attention of the Justice League during a calamity that occurred earlier this year.
XXX.
It all started six months ago, when a huge storm, the largest recorded in the last hundred years of European history, appeared without any warning whatsoever in Romania, the epicenter of the storm was a small town named Trifas.
The storm caused a gigantic amount of damage in Trifas, then began moving northeast, crossing Ukraine, reaching Russia.
Once on Russian soil, the storm became a tornado so large that it threatened the safety of the entire Moscow region.
Meanwhile, as the Justice League aided in rescue operations and mass evacuations in the storm-stricken areas, a new hero appeared in Trifas.
The individual from general descriptions and the few photographs has been described as a knight in black armor, with a purple cloak, wielding a huge cross-shaped shield.
The only mostly clear photograph showed him carrying a paraplegic girl, dressed in some sort of black and white uniform, to safety.
This armored Knight had some sort of healing ability, which allowed the population of Trifas to suffer not a single death despite the catastrophe that struck the small town. A true miracle.
The inhabitants nicknamed him, Cavalerul Negru, the name can be translated as Black Knight.
For the first three months after his debut in Trifas, the armored hero appeared in major cities and various smaller locations across Romania, interfering in street-level matters, such as stopping fires, catching bank robbers or petty crimes.
Over the past three months, the Black Knight has begun appearing sporadically in various locations across Eastern Europe, beginning to work on larger, more serious issues such as fighting organized crime, stopping smuggling, drug trafficking and/or weapons deals.
A couple of days ago, a local news station ran footage of the Black Knight running into traffic and using his shield to stop an armored car carrying historical artifacts stolen from a museum.
This detail was told during one of the Justice League meetings, it starts a conversation that led Wonder Woman to go to Athena and try to get in touch with the hero of Triphas.
XXX
The Amazon Princess has been flying around the Capital of Greece for a few hours, looking for the Black Knight.
But finding a specific individual in a metropolis of 643,452 inhabitants is a difficult task.
'If I were a Knight in Athena, where would I be?' Diana thinks, flying aimlessly, searching for a method to locate the new hero.
Not having much information at her disposal, Wonder Woman decided to fly to the National Archaeological Museum in Athens.
Two days ago, a group of thieves stole priceless artifacts, the Black Knight found and stopped the thieves, even before the news became public.
It's not a wild idea to think that the armored hero might have frequented the museum or been nearby and noticed suspicious activity.
XXX
Once she arrived at the museum, the Amazon Princess began to inspect the surrounding neighborhood.
"It's a pretty hot day today," Wonder Woman mutters, taking a moment to wipe the sweat from her forehead.
The superheroine isn't kidding, even though it's only June, summer has arrived early, bringing a heat wave that doesn't discriminate.
The idea of taking a break and trying again later was about to pop into Wonder Woman's head, but some snowflakes blowing in the wind changed her plans.
"Snow? In this heat?" Diana asks, taking the snowflake in her hands that melts in an instant.
Flying lower, Wonder Woman chased a thin breeze of fresh air carrying a few snowflakes.
'I'm not sure if the snow is connected to the Black Knight, but it's worth a quick look.' The Amazon Princess thinks, unable to turn a blind eye to such a strange phenomenon.
XXX
Soon, Wonder Woman reached the roof of a small hotel.
'This isn't the usual place weird things take me.' Wonder Woman thinks, expecting to reach an abandoned warehouse or something.
No, a place that hosts tourists on a modest budget.
Landing on the roof of the hotel, Diana saw a rather bizarre scene.
Behind the hotel sign, someone is having lunch, using supernatural objects to feel good.
This person is a teenage boy, rather short, 150 centimeters tall, snow-white skin, gray hair with a fringe that covers the left side of his face, pale golden eyes.
He wears brown boots, black pants, a red belt, a black shirt with a white collar, a red tie, a gray-white hoodie, and a pair of glasses.
A Type-Moon fan would say that this individual is Galahad cosplaying as Mash in his everyday uniform.
This "Galahad" sits cross-legged, in front of him is a huge plate with a pyramid of kebabs on top.
Now comes the weird part: the boy instead of sitting cross-legged on the roof, he is sitting on a huge cross-shaped shield (Lord Camelot).
Above the boy's head is a kind of golden/aetheric cloud (Kinto'un), which not only provides shade, but also a light winter breeze and a few snowflakes.
Finally, a small white creature (Fou) that looks like a cross between a small dog and a squirrel, lies asleep in this boy's lap.
"Galahad" remains silent and looks at Wonder Woman, then raises his head to the sky and mutters, "Cursed be you, Zelretch."
After this outburst, "Galahad" goes back to eating one of the kebabs in front of him, ignoring the presence of the Amazon Princess as much as possible.
Maintaining a composed, but not intimidating, expression and demeanor, Wonder Woman walks toward the Black Knight.
"Are you Black Knight?" Wonder Woman asks, keeping her eyes on the shield on which the white-haired boy is sitting.
"If I told you I'm just the squire who keeps the shield warm, would you believe me?" asks the golden-eyed boy, not too protective of his secret identity.
"If your appearance and build were different, I might believe it, but it's clear who you are, especially with that iconic shield in your possession." Wonder Woman said, confident she had found who she was looking for.
"I should have dyed my hair instead of wearing glasses as a disguise. White hair stands out too much." The golden-eyed boy comments, touching the bangs that cover his left eye.
'How Clark manages to fool everyone with a pair of glasses and a more reserved attitude is one of the mysteries of Manworld.' Wonder Woman thinks, not knowing why the glasses trick works on Superman, but not on the Black Knight.
"So, Amazon Princess, why did you come here? Were you looking for a cool place on this hot day or were you drawn by the smell of food?" the white-haired boy said, handing an untouched kebab to Wonder Woman.
"Neither option, I was looking for you." Wonder Woman said, refusing the offered food.
"I was afraid you'd say that." The boy mutters, looking down, losing the small hope of having a part of a peaceful day.
"At least I don't have to share my food with you." The boy mutters with a small smile, starting to eat again.
"You're not what I expected." Wonder Woman comments, crossing her arms.
The Amazon Princess imagined herself meeting a Batman-like knight, but instead she feels like she's talking to the Flash.
"If you want a Perfect Knight, go find King Arthur, Gawain or Lancelot, although I would be careful with the latter. I'm just a vagabond with a shield, a cloud and too much time on my hands." The boy replies, not seeming to think much of himself.
The boy takes a big bite of his kebab, finishing it.
"I didn't even accept the stage name offered by the Trifas people, Cavalerul Negru or Black Knight, it lacks imagination, it's such a generic name." Said the boy, not too happy with the name he received.
The boy while talking takes off the packaging of a second kebab, it looks like he wants to eat the whole food pyramid by himself.
"So, what's your name?" Wonder Woman asks, slightly curious about the name chosen by the golden-eyed boy.
Often the names of heroes have a meaning, sometimes it is connected to their abilities, an ideal or their aesthetics.
"Honestly, I haven't chosen a name that feels right to me yet, I'm undecided between Galahad, Shielder, Invincible or Tempest." The boy lists the names he wants to use when he's a hero.
"How can I call you for now?" Wonder Woman asks, not wanting to just call him, boy.
"Galahad should work for now." Galahad said, taking the easy way out.
"Do you like Arthurian mythology?" asks Wonder Woman, noting that Galahad has mentioned several characters from Arthurian legend.
"The answer to that question is complicated, but we can say that I am a fan of the King of Knights and a detractor of the Knight of the Lake." Galahad replies in a more serious voice than before, stopping taking bites of his kebab.
"Now it's my turn to ask a question, why are you looking for me Wonder Woman, I have done nothing important enough to attract your attention, I have no connection whatsoever to Themyscira or the Olympians." Galahad states in a serious voice, having no connection whatsoever to Wonder Woman and her world.
"I have come here as a representative of the Justice League. We have heard of your abilities and your actions, and we wish to offer you the opportunity to join the Justice League." Wonder Woman states her initial intent.
"You're overestimating me, I'm just a Tank, with a double subclass: Healer and Elementalist of Lightning." Galahad describes his abilities in Gamer language.
For a moment, the Amazon Princess seems a little lost, clearly she's not up to date on video games and stuff.
"As far as my Task Record is concerned, I have completed only low-level Missions. My successes are small, even insignificant in the grand scheme of things." Galahad said, considering his actions in the past few months of little value.
"You shouldn't downplay your accomplishments, you've saved many lives and put many criminals in prison." Wonder Woman said, managing to understand the message behind Galahad's nerdy speech.
"It's easy to do what I did when you're a superhuman using a shield that will outlast the existence of the globe, and the enemy is a normal human being who can afford machine guns at most." Galahad said, giving his large shield a little tap.
"The hard part is investigating, gathering information, chasing and monitoring people, waiting for crimes to make their mistakes." Galahad said, considering his work as an Amateur Detective the only thing worthy of note.
"Nice to see you're proud of something," Wonder Woman comments, happy to see a glimmer of positivity in Galahad's speech.
"However, I doubt the invitation is still valid, it is one thing to invite a short knight, another a knight who should be in high school." Galahad said, moving his sleeping pet from his lap.
Then, the Black Knight stands up and approaches the Amazon Princess, standing in front of her.
The heroine of Themyscira is much taller than Galahad who can barely reach Wonder Woman's chest level.
"I'm not going to lie to you, I'm surprised you're so young, but there are a lot of young heroes. If it doesn't offend you, how old are you?" Wonder Woman asks, having a little difficulty deducing Galahad's age due to his short height.
"My age is a complicated subject, physically I'm 14, mentally I'm ... " Galahad pauses for a moment, moving his fingers as if doing mental arithmetic.
"I'm not good at math, but I'm definitely an adult cognitively, even though my brain is still developing and there are hormones." Galahad comments, leaving aside the calculations, as they are too complicated to do.
"What do you mean you're a cognitive adult?" Wonder Woman asks with a raised eyebrow, part of one of the more unusual discussions in recent times.
Galahad raises his hand and touches the left side of his head using his index finger.
"Not only are my muscles superhumanly enhanced, my brain is superhuman too. You can compare me to Leonardo Da Vinci, Nikola Tesla, Helena Blavatsky." Galahad said, with a small, arrogant smile.
"But isn't Thomas Edison a deceitful lion?!" Galahad exclaims, not hiding who he loves or who he hates.
"Intelligence and maturity are not the same thing." Wonder Woman comments, not knowing what to say about Galahad's cognitive maturity.
"Maybe that's true, but surely a person who can build an electric flying motorcycle knows more than the average idiot who only knows how to drink beer and watch football when he's not moving rocks." Galahad comments, considering himself better than the average man.
"I'm going to ask another sensitive question, but do you have any parents, family or friends?" Wonder Woman asks, hoping not to touch a sore spot.
Galahad remains unmoved by the Amazon Princess's question, simply touches his chin and remains silent for about seven seconds.
"On paper I have a tutor but he lives in London and just gives me a phone call every now and then. But I have a couple of female friends who keep an eye on me during my chivalric adventures." Galahad said, trying to be vague with his answer.
"With the latest revelations, having you join the Justice League is not possible at this time. But you may become an associate member under my supervision." Wonder Woman said, trying not to use the word, Sidekick, which she considers degrading.
Galahad tilts his head and looks carefully at the Amazon Princess, his brain wondering how to respond.
"In short, I can't join the grown-ups club, so you want me to be your Robin until I legally become an adult so I can join the Justice League with all due respect?" Galahad said, revealing the meaning of Wonder Woman's diplomatic words.
"You're a perceptive boy." Wonder Woman said, happily surprised by Galahad's deduction.
"Give me 24 hours to think about my answer, I need to confide in my female friends." Galahad said, unable to deliver an answer right now.
"That seems reasonable to me. Shall we meet here tomorrow at 12:00?" Wonder Woman asks, wanting to set up a time and location for the meeting.
Galahad takes a steampunk radio-like device out of his hoodie's inside pocket, then hands it to the Amazon Princess.
"This is a Farnsworth, a two-way audio and video communication device invented by Philo Farnsworth in 1929, shortly after the invention of television. Use it to count me tomorrow." Galahad explains what the device he handed over is.
Wonder Woman opens the device as if it were a book, seeing a circular screen, a knob and several buttons.
"Pretty advanced for a device created nearly a hundred years ago." Wonder Woman comments, looking away from Farnsworth.
Galahad is missing, along with his shield, his cloud and his pet.
"This guy has the attitude of the Flash, but he's as good at disappearing as Batman." Wonder Woman said, before flying away, having finished her business in Athena for the day.
XXX
In a place not far away, Galahad appeared as if he were a ghost materializing.
"Hassan of the Hundred Faces, Medusa, I need your opinion." Galahad said, crossing his arms and leaning against the wall.
In less than a second, several dozen individuals dressed in black and wearing skull-like masks appeared in the room.
The ghostly apparitions did not stop there, a beautiful woman with purple hair and blindfolded eyes appeared before Galahad.
"Assassin, Rider, do we want to be friends with Wonder Woman and the Justice League?" Galahad asks, wanting an answer from the two Servants he has managed to summon over the past six months.

Author's Note:
I hope you enjoyed this chapter.
But I'm not kidding about the part where I can't decide on the main character's Super-Hero name. What do you think?
A) Shielder, the classic Servant name with a shield.
B) Invincible, a tribute to a series and a character that I really like.
C) Tempest, simple and direct, minimally connected to the Heroic Spirits within the Protagonist.
