Gordes and Vlad

Before the summoning

In the middle of the night when the moon shines. In the outskirts of Trifas inside the forest there is a group surrounded by a larger group. Encirlced be the larger group, one member of the smaller group, a woman with yellow hair wearing a saintess like battle dress. Dangerously pointed her spear with a flag to the ill looking man with dark eyebags who wears a black royal fashioned clothes riding a horse with an armor cover. pressuring both group.

??:"I swear on this flag."

??:"The Maid of Orléans huh." Seeing the flag and from the previous information the Dead Saber gave about the Ruler.

??:"By my true name, I'll not hand her over!" All silently waited for the Man on the horse's choose of action.

One of the boys with an eyeglasses in the group asked the person beside him holding a wheelchair.

??:"Archer, do we have a chance if all our Servants attack he at once?" He asked so that if this go south he will know how will it end.v

Archer:"No. We do not know about her Noble Phantasm. Rulers always have an overwhelming abilities. An absolute power against us servants.

The man riding onthe horse look at the spear. Then look at the girl with a pink hair.

??:"Rider. Do you consider what you did a despicable treason?"

Rider:"No. I believe that I did was the right thing!"

Shocking the girl beside the man next to the Man on a horse. The man on the horse understanding that nothing will come out of this but a fight if he press this forward smiled.

??:"hm.Yet, You may not go unpunished. Caster."

A man wearing a mask and a robe appeared before Rider and sealed the her hands with covering both of her arms completely like a cuff.

Rider:"Oh well. Let go."

??:"Not yet." Said by the man on the horse intensifying pressure. And. Continue speaking.

??"Ruler, as my sister before God, will you join forces with us?"

Ruler:"No, aslong as you fight for the Great Grail in an honorable fashion, I will not interfer what ever may happen." After that have said the pressure peaked every one ready to attack Ruler by the command of Lancer even if it is futile.

??:"Hmp. Fine, how about a copensation then?" The man on the armored horse said making the every one confused.

Ruler:"Compensation?"

??:"Right a compensation for having our saber gone, I would like to have a Vial of your blood." He answered showing a Vial together with a Stick.

After that being said everything grows silent being. The man on the horse's companions stiffens for what could possibly happen. Noticing his companions reactions. Lancer grit and breath heavily making the situation worse.

After a while the Lancer calmed down and looked up to Ruler and his companions.

Vlad:"I swear as that I Lancer of Black, Vlad III Dracul will never use your blood for myself. Is that enough for you to trust me? Ruler." He sweared making most people suprise.

Ruler:"But this body will be damage if I do that."

Vlad:"Don't worry we'll give you a healing material for you use after the process. You want to take that Humonculos right? Then do as I say."

After that Ruler took the the Vial and Stick to pierce her hand then pouring her blood into the Vial. Ruler then gave it to lancer. Who took it and gave her the healing material.

Vlad:"Lets go." Grabbing the rope of his horse and started going back with the others behind. The man beside him was a dissatisfied with the outcome.

??:"But." The person argued.

Vlad:"I said let's go." He said as a sign of finality."

They were two people left by the group together with Ruler and the one she tries to protect.

Rider:"Well, this is the extent that I will help you. Go to the town and learn to hate and love. You are free now so live a happy life. Then he and I won't have fought in vain."

??:"I." Hesitatingly said by the person who was saved by rider.

Rider:"Live! You are allowed now." She said as a last word before she walked to catch up with the others. But the other person who stayed behind with Rider was infuriated but followed Rider regrouping with the others.

Inside the throne room of a Castle

Four people are inside there one Lancer sitting on the throne, the man who tried to argue with Lancer and two boys guarding the big doors.

??:"What is the meaning of this Lancer!? We could have had Ruler by our side if you would have taken one last stepof pressing her. We would had have her replace Saber spot!" Angrily said by the man who argued with lancer earlier.

Vlad:"A Ruler is the one who Oversee us Darnic have you forget? One wrong move and she could use the command seals to us and kill ourselves." Said bluntly. Infuriating The man now known as Darnic making him exit the throne. Leaving Lancer alone with the guards.

Vlad:"Besides. We already have a Compensation." Taking out the Vial. Looking at the blood inside it.

Vlad:"Guards call Gordes here right now."

Guards:"Yes, your Highness."

After 5 minutes of waiting the door finally open by the guards helping the drunken fat man who has golden haired dressed with a uniform like the guards with the exception of the golden linen and decorations like the belt. Lancer stood up from the throne and slowly walk to the Fat man

Vlad:"Your finally here Mister Gordes."

Gordes:"Laancer. Caan yoou give mwe eh! Ah Lass Chaance? I Promise I will not do my mwistakes again!" He said while trying to say it correctly but only resulted in hiccups.

Vlad::"Yes that's what I want you to be here for." He said while making a distance from Gordes.

Gordes:"Really?" He said excitedly while now using magic to try stablize himself from the good news.

Vlad:"Yes. Did you see any familiars on the way here?"

Gordes:"No, your Highness." As seriously as he can while still Drunk.

Vlad:"Well that is good news now we don't need to go to another room. Here take this." Throwing the Vial.

Gordes catched the Vial and almost mistook it for a medicine but as he saw the red color he quickly stopped himself, what ever he had drink just now was not strong enough from stopping him from breaking through the drunkenness.

Gordes:"Isn't this the Blood of the Ruler Jeanne d' Arc?! Why are you giving this to me Your Highness!"

Blad:"We lost a Saber because of you, Now you are gonna bring another one back. So show me what you can do from learning your mistakes Gordes Muslik!" Smilling to the awakened man.

Gordes was touched. It didn't matter what ever is the motive of Lancer was, what mattered to him now was someone like Lancer one of the Highclass heroes still have a use to him even after the huge mistake he made. Crying with the feeling he has.

Gordes:"Thank yo.."

Vlad:"Don't make a lot of noices. It might gather the attention of others." Reprimanding Gordes from crying.

Gordes:"I'm very sorry Your Highness. I was just so glad that I can still be of use." Suppressing his cry.

Vlad:"Very well. Just don't be disappointed for what I have planned for."

Vlad:"You are gonna Summon a Saber class Servant with the Blood of Ruler that is inside this Vial. We will keep him into ourselves so. I'll try and make it look like I'm experimenting instead of summoning a new Saber do you understand?"

Gordes:"Yes, Your Highness I will not messed this up." Answering seriously knowing the consiqeunces of the plan.

Vlad:"Good. Then prepare for the summoning!"

Gordes quickly made the preparation but also cheking his work once shortly to make sure that nothing is wrong with the Summoning process.

Gordes:"It is now finish Your Highness." After finishing the preparation.

Vlad:"Let us now begin the summon."

Gordes being the summoner. Put the Vial that contained the blood of Ruler to the floor where the summoning ritual is and began chanting.

---

Let silver and steel be the essence.

Let stone and the archduke of contracts be the foundation.

Let [Black] be the color I pay tribute to.

Let rise a wall against the wind that shall fall.

Let the four cardinal gates close.

Let the three-forked road from the crown reaching unto the Kingdom rotate.

Let it be declared now; your flesh shall serve under me, and my fate shall be with your sword.

Submit to the beckoning of the Holy Grail.

Answer, if you would submit to this will and this truth.

An oath shall be sworn here.

I shall attain all virtues of all of Heaven;

I shall have dominion over all evils of all of Hell.

From the Seventh Heaven, attended to by three great words of power,

come forth from the ring of restraint, protector of the holy balance!

---

The Lights of the room silently moved to the Summoning array making the dark except the im the middle which is now surrounded by lights that are spiralling like a hurricaine but there wasn no power felt with its movements. Making it Grander and more mysterios summoning than the past summonings.

After the Spiralling stop the color turned blue and started scattering the gathered lights to the ground like blue fallen petals until the who is person in the center of the summoning ritual is revealed.

The person has a short blond hair and emerald eyes. Taller than most of men. A man in his 20s. He has a beautiful form and appears composed.

He wears a royal battle armor of a knight ready for battle. The armor parts are silver in color. While the tunics part are blue. He also has a blue high collar cape attached to the back of the armor part of his neck.

The man look at the dumbfounded Gordes and the amused Lancer. And sighed

____________________________________________

Looks like I have to start with a greeting?

I:"Nice to meet you. My name is Arthur Pendragon also known as King of Knights. Are you my master?" I Bow to the fat one infront of me while looking at the man with the Dark Eyebags. This man is surely from royalty base on him sitting on a throne alone.

Gordes:"Ye. Yes I am and my name is Gordes Muslik Yggdmillenia."

Dark Eyebags:"Arthur, you are our Saber? Hahahaha. Luck must be on our side for a fellow king to be summoned by us." Praise by the royal man with Dark Eyebags.

I:"Thank you for you praise Mister..?"

Vlad:"Oh, sorry for my disrespectful behavior. My name is Vlad III, the Lord Impaler, Lancer of the Black Faction" He introduce himself with a bow.

(Vlad? Lord Impalor? A vampire perhaps? No I should not ask him, my identity might be blown cause Arthur's is more ealier than his )

Vlad:"Arthur. You will be our trump card as you are Saber so please keep doing what ever you are doing right now is that clear?"

("I don't know what you are saying but alright I keep it.") Nodding at him giving my answer.

Vlad:"Arthur come with me. I'll try to show you around secretly." As he open the door.

I:"What about my Master?" I asked making Vlad looks at Gordes.

Vlad:"Gordes go to your room and rest. I'll show your servant around while I'm at it." He commands him and went out passing the two guards.

Well I can't really leave him defenseless. There might be an assasssin hiding, ready to kill him. Materializing a small blue ball made out of magic to atleast give him a one time barrier enough to defend up to D-class phantasm.

"Master have this." Giving him the ball

Gordes:"What is this?" Holding the ball

"A pocket barrier that can stop up to D-Class phantasm it will protect you once I will leave you side it has a minutes cooldown but the user have to pure your energy in it to make it function again."

Gordes:"-"

"Summone me if you are in danger."

I walk pass the guards and see Vlad leaning to the walls. I approach him.

"Where are we going Mr. Vlad?"

Vlad:"To where our mana came from.

"Then what will you call me then? Surely there are people that knows my legends right? And calling my name in abad timing will expose me."

Vlad:"Yeah it will be a big Problem for me I gues how about you change Your cloth like the guards have, wait here,I will get you some clothes while you try to choose a name other than Saber."

I:"You don't have to go Mr. Vlad I brought several clothes and coincidentally I have something similar." Changing my attire to a similar what the guards from the throne room wore. My armor shines turning to a uniform. I turn around to make it more dramatic.

I:"Does this satisfy you for the place we are going?"

Now wearing a more whiter uniform than the guards and my black army beret from the military.

Vlad:"Yes, just stay close in following me avoid and other servants like your life depends on it."

We continue our walk to the Factory and when we arrive what I see was horrible. Remembering what my son was put into and compare it to what I am seeing now is uncompairable. I see people in the tank without a breather in their mouth and just floating in the water around them.

I:"Vlad. Is this the place you call factory?"

Vlad:"Yes, what you see infront of you is the supplier of the mana we are using. The ones in the tank are Homunculus are short lived and weak but they possessed powerful magic circuits making it more posible to achieve powers that are beyond an ordinary human. They are better defined as "Magic Circuit with a human form"."

You gotta be joking me. This is just plain homicide.

I:"So you are using them like a farm?"

Vlad:"Yes."

I:"What will happen to those who will run out of energy?" I asked base on the energy they are using. It will be easy to depleted their man.

Vlad:"They will die." He said making me concern on how many will be killed without being conscious.

I:"Did someone even try to leasen the absorption of the magic out of these people."

Vlad:"No."

I:"Why?"

Hearing silence as my answer I walk next to the nearest tank.

Vlad:"What do you want to do?" He said behind me.

I:"Giving them my blessings." Touching the tank and used my magic to create some stopper from mana absorption. Making it that they won't die from mana all their mana getting sucked then next their health.

Vlad:"What did you do?"

I:"I created limiter where the absorption of mana will stop on 20% mana left for the person to not die in vain in this War."

Vlad:"How many times can you do this?"

I:"More than enough for these people in here."

Vlad:"do it silently then and be careful don't leave a trace."

Vlad left the room and I continued my work.

Moving to the next one, next one, until I finished giving limiters to all over here.

After some time

I:"I'm finished."

I look at Vlad who just got returned with some clothes.

Vlad:"Wear this then follow me." Giving me the clothes.

"So are we going closer to your companions now?"

Vlad:"No. You will be hiding in one of the rooms I prepared for you."

I:"Where? Gordes' room?

Vlad:"Yes."

I:"Okay then lead the way." Vlad went first followed with me following behind him.

The travel went smoothly. And now we are in Gordes room. With no guards guarding, probably asked to get out. Speaking of guards.

I:"Mr. Vlad what about the guards in the throne room?"

Vlad:"If that is what's concerning you, they won't tell a thing unless questioned and until now no one asked which means no one knows about you except of me and your master Gordes."

Hearing him say that make me more secure.

I:"Is there anything that I can help aside from waiting here?"

Vlad:"You can do anything actually except from being found by the other servants my knight!~." Adding some kind of rank to show my ranking in the place which is probably useless.

I:"If that is your wish my King."

Vlad:"Oh, you are not insulted?"

I:"Of course I'm a King and base on our situation two king fighting for power. Will only bring a fall to our team, I experienced that myself with my daughter. I want to rest from leading a little bit, overwork might gave me a Dark Eyebags!~." Teasing him as I emphasizing his Eyebags.

Vlad grunts as to my joke, getting angry by the second.

I:"Ofcourse I'm just joking My King. I didn't know you can't take jokes from an old man like me."

Vlad:"Heh! Suit yourself." He turned around to go outside but stopped just shortly.

I:"Is there anything wrong My King~" still teasing him.

Vlad:"The master of Archer and her servant will go out to find our Assasin so only Caster who is busy from the his golems, Rider who will be roaming the place, Berserker of black who is always at the courtyard's garden and me. Don't go to the throne room cause I'll be busy with my master."

Vlad left the room. Leaving me alone in this room. even though I was suppose to act like his knight under this situation. Its still lonely in here.

I:("Strange man I guess. I wonder what his wish is, Well I'll just ask him nextime.")

I:("Gordes is out. I guess Vlad sent hum somewhere.")

I:("I'll just go out and see some golems instead. And leave some note to the table.")

---

"I'll be returning home after some sight seeing tour to the golems.

P.S. I won't be here until late afternoon."

---

I:"This should be fine enough. I going out!"

Opening the door I went outside to see the golem but on the wayto the halls I feel a massive energy aproaching me quickly from the back.

I:"Looks like I'm found?"

Looking at the back I see a Pink haired woman who looks like a princess running towards me leaving a trails of dust.
