00:03, on top of the school rooftop,

I wonder why no one recognized me back then when Archer was fighting them. The first one to arrive was Rider. As Rider has never seen me it’s understandable he doesn’t recognize me but I expected Lancer and Assassin to recognize me but both of them didn’t even pay attention to me. Not like I need any kind of attention.

00:06 Rin’s bedroom,

“I can’t get it....” I say in a deep thought. “What happened Master?” Assassin asks me. “It’s Akira…If he wasn’t one of the seven servants. That who is he?” I reply to Assassin.

“What do you mean Master?” Assassin asks. “Through what you said there were 6 servants already present thanks to Archer releasing such a huge amount of mana. But we already know the seventh servant who we fought at that killer’s apartment. So where does that leave Akira?” Rin replies to Assassin. Assassin gets into deep thought too.

1:32, an empty room,

“Hey Basha what are you thinking about?” Hector asks Basha. “Thinking about that servant who you fought on the first day.” Hector replies. “Wait! Now that I think about it I saw him back when we were fighting Archer. Even if it was just a glance, I did see him.” Hector says.

Same time, Matou Mansion,

“HOW CAN THERE BE 8 SERVANTS! AHHHHHHH! NONE OF THIS SHIT MAKES ANY FUCKING SENSE!” Berserker says as she starts pulling her hair. “She has been like that for the whole day after the Archer battle.” Aoi says to Zoken. “8 Servants huh? Interesting.” Zoken says with a creepy smile.

2:27, a shack,

“Hey Caster! Why didn’t you follow the signal?” Sho says to Caster as he holds a bloody knife. “You mean that mana? You could say I didn’t want to be exposed and then I would have missed those screams of that woman and her child if I went away.” Caster says to Sho who opens a little girl’s guts with his knife.

“You really are crazy. It’s not like I am any better.” Sho says to Caster as he starts eating the little girl’s small intestine. “Tasty!” Sho says as he cuts and swoops the intestine like a noodle. “Want some?” Sho asks Caster showing the intestines. “I don’t care about her insides when I already ate her soul.” Caster replies to Sho. “Whatever you say Mister Devil.” Sho says to Caster.

7:43, school,

I start making my way towards the school building. “Hey Akira!” I hear behind me. As I turn I see Sakura waving her hand towards me and starting to make her way here. “Yo!” I say to her as she makes her way towards me. “Let’s walk together!” She says to me.

As we both begin to walk together, I saw it! I saw Rider’s Master! Isn’t that…Shinji Matou? That’s Sakura’s brother. Through what I have heard his my senior just like Rin is. But his a huge asshole. All he does is use people to his advantage and throw them aside after his done. I also know that Rin and him they are in the same class. Can’t believe I am looking at a family trio *Sigh*

“What happened? Why did you stop?” Sakura asks me as I was in deep thoughts regarding Shinji. “Oh? It’s nothing.” I say with a nervous smile.

“Hey Akira!” Oh I know that voice. I turn behind as see Rin Tohsaka standing with her hands fold. “After school, rooftop, get that?” Rin says to me and begins to make her way towards the school building. She didn’t even wait for my response. She pans her head behind with an angry expression. “You better come.” She says to me. What did I do? “What did you do to her, Akira?” Sakura asks me. “I don’t know myself.” I say to her. Sakura’s head tilts, “Weird.” She says with her head tilted. Why is her head tilted anyways?

17:04, Rooftops,

Just like Rin said we meet at the rooftop after the school was over. “What is it Rin?” I ask her. “Who are you?” Rin asks me. “Akira.” I reply. “You used to be a servant but now you are not even close to being a servant. You are more like a…Normal human. What happened after Assassin killed you Akira? If that is even your real name.” Rin asks me.

Guess she was the first one to figure out. I sigh. “Guess I can’t hide it forever. I am the son of a Servant and a Master and my name is Hero.” I say to Rin. “What?!” Rin begins to sweat. “You can’t be serious.” Rin says to me. “Well you see when I was a servant that was when my servant blood kicked in and what I am now is a normal human just like my mother.” At least that’s what my Grandpa said to me.

“I have heard about a Servant Master mating but I have never seen one with my own eyes.” Assassin says. Wait! Where did she hear that from? “Anyways, the one who you killed was my Servant body while my real body was recovering with the help of Mana that Eva was giving me.” I say. “Impossible! Everything he is saying…Doesn’t make any sense.” Rin thinks to herself.

“What is your objective here, Hybrid?” Assassin asks me. “To destroy the Holy Grail.” I say without any hesitation. “WHAT?!” Assassin and Rin look at my face with a surprised tone and expression.

“To destroy the Holy Grail? Are you fucking with us?!” Assassin rages. “I am not. If you stand in my way then I will kill you doesn’t matter who you are to me.” I say as I begin to make my way towards the door. “Better stay out of my way.” I say to them.

“Are you kidding me? All these years I have been waiting for this moment and all I hear is that some random person wants to destroy the Holy Grail. DO YOU THINK I AM JUST GOING TO SIT AROUND AND WATCH YOU DESTROY THE HOLY GRAIL?!” Rin rages.

“I don’t expect that and that is why I will not back down from a challenge if that is what you want.” I say.

“You speak like you don’t understand the pain to lose a loved one even though you lost Evangeline. HOW CAN YOU BE SO HEARTLESS?!” Rin asks me.

“Heartless?” I smile. “I do what’s right and if destroying that cursed thing is a way to save million’s people then I will be the heartless person you mention me to be.” I turn around and open the door. “And I don’t think your father would be happy to see you use the Holy Grail just to revive him and see about a million people die. Don’t be surprised by my statement. The Holy Grail is a omnipotent wish granting device but at the same time it asks for an equivalent exchange. The bigger the wish the bigger is the damage caused by it.”

“So, I think I will be a heartless person who will save this world from that cursed work of god.” Those words were forever stuck in Assassin and Rin’s head.

“How did he know you were talking about your father, Master?” Assassin asks Rin. “Huh?!” Something struck Rin. She begins to clench her fist. “SAKURAAAAAAAA!” She screams.

On the other end,

Sakura walks down a street. As she walks down the street a man in black robe appears in front of her. “Hello, Sakura Matou. It’s time to that we get our Holy Grail ready!” The man says to Sakura. Sakura’s pupil dilate and all she says is, “Yes, My Lord Kotomine.” Sakura says.

“Tomorrow…..” Basha says

“Is the day….” Aoi says

“The war…..” Shinji says

“Ends…” Elise says

“And tomorrow is the day. I strike!” Hero says.
