*A young boy and girl sit in a sand box playing together.*
Girl: Kawaru, we’re always going to be friends right?
Kawaru: What makes you ask a silly question like that Sako? Of course we’re always going to be friends.
*Sako looks at Kawaru with sad eyes.*
Sako: Even if we’re far apart?
Kawaru: Of course you dummy! *He shouts as he bops her lightly on the head*
Sako: I’m glad. *She smiles but it is a sad smile.* The truth is I’m moving away because of my parents work and we may not be able to see each other for a very long time.
Kawaru: Huh? *His eyes widen apparently the news was a complete shock to him* When?
Sako: Tomorrow.
Kawaru:….B–
*Suddenly a loud ringing is heard and Kawaru sits up in his bed sweating*
Kawaru: That’s right. That was the last time Sako and I played together. After that she moved to America and we lost contact. I wonder if I’ll ever see her again.
*Kawaru gets out of bed and gets dressed he was wearing casual attire jeans and sweatshirt. He walks into the kitchen and begins to fry an egg*
Kawaru: This’ll be the last time I can relax like this for a while I guess I should enjoy it. *He says as he looks at a letter on his dinning room table*
*Kawaru sighs as he reads the note*
Kawaru: Well I suppose it is why they raised me as a magus. I owe it to them to bring them the Holy Grail. But first…time to enjoy my last day of freedom.
*Kawaru puts on his shoes and grabs his Oracle Knife from the counter just to be safe. Leaves the house, which is about a ten-minute walk from a nearby mall. As he lounges around on a bench looking at the sky he hears a voice…*
: Hey Kawaru! What’s up being lazy again?
*Kawaru looks at the approaching figure. A male about his age with brown hair approaches.*
Kawaru: Huh? Jack what are you doing here?
Jack: Enjoying my Sunday. Since you’re hanging out here you must have noticed.
Kawaru: Noticed what?
*Jack looks at him with a astonished and appalled look then places his hand on Kawaru’s shoulder*
Jack: You must truly live a sheltered life not to have noticed. Just look around you.
*Kawaru looks around then realizes what Jack is getting at.*
Jack: Look at all of the magnificent beauties here. This is the ideal place to pick up chicks!
Kawaru: I’m amazed no one has called the cops on you yet.
Jack: You try to shrug me off with sarcasm but I can tell you’re the same! We are partners in our quest to find a delicate flower to brighten our lives!
*A bead of sweat drops down Kawaru’s temple*
Kawaru: Good luck with that.
Jack: Oh come on you know you wanna come with me. See there’s a perfect target.
*Kawaru looks up and see a girl about his age with blond hair and a noticeably large bust passing by*
Jack: Target locked.
Kawaru: Forget it.
Jack: Why?
Kawaru: Simple she’s way out of you’re league. She’s likely from an upscale family based on her posture, the quiet dignity in her stride means she’s likely intelligent and with looks like that if she doesn’t already have a boyfriend, she’s not looking for one.
*Jack wags his finger at Kawaru*
Jack: Kawaru you underestimate me.
Kawaru: You’re batting record with average girls is already low someone like that will send you down in flames.
*Jack wasn’t even listening and goes and talks to the girl after about a minute a large impact is heard and Jack is lying on the ground the girl glares at him. She then looks up at Kawaru they make eye contact and he feels a shiver run down his spine. Then she turns and leaves*
Kawaru: I wonder if he’s alive? Oh well I’ll let him lick his wounds on his own.
*Kawaru gets up and walks away. As he does he sees a girl with pink hair he stops and notices her odd hair color. As he does she walks over to him*
: It’s not polite to stare. Also keeping a magical knife on your person just screams attack me.
Kawaru: Who are you?
: Serena Tsukino but you won’t need to remember it. I doubt you’ll be alive much longer anyways.
*She then walks away Kawaru stands there in a cold sweat*
Kawaru: I haven’t even summoned my servant yet and she already knows. Who is she?
*Kawaru walks over to a nearby café and sits down to eat*
Kawaru: So much for my last day of freedom. Oh well.
*He places his order and waits*
Kawaru: I’m having an odd run with the opposite sex today first there was that girl at the mall, then that Serena chick what’s next?
Woman: Did you hear?
Woman #2: You mean about the murders? Of course everyone has.
Woman: I heard that the culprit used some kind of slashing weapon.
Woman #2: Well he’s been doing the city a favor going after the local gangs and protecting decent people.
Woman: But still…
*Kawaru sighs*
Kawaru: Looks like someone’s jumped the gun. Oh well.
*After the meal Kawaru pays and leaves he wanted to enjoy the rest of his day so he went to the local arcade and played video games for a few hours*
Kawaru: Huh?
*He looks over and a crowd has gathered around the DDR game he walks over curiously to see a girl who he recognized as one of the regulars being beaten by a raven haired boy who looked to be about his age*
Kawaru: Wow he’s good.
*The boy notices his and after winning asks*
: You my next victim?
Kawaru: Sorry but no, I don’t like DDR.
*Gasps are heard through out the crowd most of them were just for dramatic effect*
: Fine you’re probably just scared to go head to head against Kyoya Ishida.
Kawaru: I guess so.
Kyoya: Well then I’m gonna get out of here see you coward.
*Kawaru shrugs and leaves as well. He it was getting dark but he was hungry so he walks to a nearby shop and gets a burger. When he leaves it was dark out and most of the people were off the street*
Kawaru: I should hurry this could be bad.
*Kawaru takes off and heads towards home once he gets to the vacant street leading to his house he hears a voice.*
: Hey, you!
*Kawaru turns around and recognizes the girl from the mall*
Kawaru: Oh it’s you. Listen if you’re pissed about earlier take it up with Jack. I didn’t have anything to do with it.
*The girl sighs*
: You really aren’t good at detecting mana are you?
*Kawaru’s eyes widen in comprehension*
Kawaru: So that’s what this is about.
: Bingo, it seems you don’t have a servant either this should make things easy. Saber attack.
*A blue haired man appears he wore black plate mail but it seemed thinner than normal. He draws a black sword. Kawaru was already running towards his house*
Kawaru: This is bad.
*He takes the Oracle Knife from his pocket turns around and swings it. A loud metallic sound is heard as it makes contact with the servants sword*
Saber: So it appears you aren’t a normal magus after all. That’s an interesting toy you’ve got there.
*Kawaru grips the knife and runs mana into it causing the blade to catch fire*
Kawaru: This is bad there’s no way I can over power a servant especially not with just the Oracle Knife. Kawaru thinks to himself
*Saber attacks again and Kawaru tries to slash it away with the knife but all his strike does in change the course of the black sword and it leaves a deep gash on his right arm. Blood dyes the sleeve of his shirt red he. Wasn’t far from his house but this servant would gut him before he reached it. He grits his teeth and runs mana into the blade again this time using alteration magic*
Saber: Maybe I overestimated you. I had expected at least a little more resistance.
(Girl): Saber quit playing around and finish him.
Saber: Listen this is nothing against you but she’s right I am wasting time so be good and I’ll try and make it as painless as possible.
*The man swings the black sword down again and Kawaru strikes it with his knife, but this time a bright flash is produced*
Saber: What?
*Voices are heard the flash had drawn attention but Kawaru knew that if he didn’t hurry he’d be killed. He makes a break for his house*
(Girl): Dammit!
*Saber goes into spirit to prevent being seen and the girl chases after Kawaru*
Kawaru: Finally.
*Kawaru opens the door to his basement as he begins to activate the magic circle he senses violet intent and defends with the Oracle Knife. The knife flies out of his hand and lands in the circle and Kawaru lunges backwards just barely avoiding Saber’s second swing. Suddenly the summoning circle glows and a woman wearing hide armor with long brown hair emerges from the circle and faces Saber*
Servant: Servant Archer what are my orders master?
Kawaru: Hold him off.
Archer: Yes master.
*A bow made of crystal appears in her hand there is no string but tremendous mana can be felt from it. Saber’s eyes narrow and his master finally catches up*
Saber: So you’re servant Archer. Now I can have a real battle.
*A black flash I seen as he swings his sword, but the bow blocks it. The bow was thicker than a normal one and had a handle where she grasped it. The man didn’t let up he swung the sword again and again. Each time the girl managed to block with the bow. She was winning…no he was pushing her back*
Kawaru: Archer move!
*Archer jumps to the side and Kawaru fires what seemed to be a handgun made of glass. Saber blocks the shots with his sword forced to stand his ground since his master was directly behind him*
Kawaru: Sorry about this Archer.
*Kawaru suddenly grabs a small crystal box off the wall and runs mana into it. Both servants immediately cover their ears but Saber’s master didn’t have quick enough reaction time and intense sonic vibrations produced by the box cause her to pass out falls to one knee and Saber moves to defend his master*
Kawaru: Take her to the couch upstairs.
Saber: What?
Kawaru: Listen the device I used was a sonic amplifier it sends out intensified sound waves. Most people will pass out if hit.
Saber: And why would I accept aid from an enemy?
Kawaru: Because you don’t have a choice. You can’t beat Archer and defend your master. Even if you have a powerful noble phantasm if you use it hear you’ll likely kill you’re master as well due to proximity. I won’t attack her you two right now, and if I wanted to defeat you I would simply do it now.
Saber: If you’re so confident why don’t you? *The man’s eyes focus on Kawaru taking in everything. It almost seemed as if they were looking into his very mind.*
Kawaru: Because I’d like to talk to her civilly when she wakes up.
*Saber glances at his master then nods consent realizing he has no other choice*
Saber: But I warn you attack her while she sleeps and I will kill you.
Kawaru: That’s fine.
*Saber carries the girl up the stairs and lays her down on the couch. Kawaru sits down in a chair nearby and waits*
~about an hour later~
*The girl awakens and sees Saber next to her. She quickly sits up and looks around. Then sees Kawaru*
Kawaru: How are you feeling?
: Like hell. Why am I here?
Kawaru: You attacked me you should know.
: Right you summoned your servant…then used that weird sound device. Wait, why are you helping an enemy who tried to kill you?
Kawaru: Because this war is going to be dangerous. It would be better if I had someone to work with.
: You mean a partner, I see that makes sense with a servant like Archer you’d naturally want someone to fight close in and Saber fits that role.
Kawaru: Correct, so would you like to work with me? Naturally you’re free to decline. I’ll even let you leave since the war doesn’t officially start till tomorrow.
Archer: Master I’m against this decision. I should be more than sufficient to win. We have no need of an alliance.
Kawaru: No I think it would be better. I understand how strong you are but it would still be wise to be prepared and working with another master will make it much more likely we will make it to the final fight.
Saber: I think it would be a good idea.
*The girl thinks about it for a moment then sits up and looks at Kawaru.*
: Fine I’ll agree to work together with you but only until the final fight.
*Kawaru nods*
Kawaru: That’s fine, and I’m assuming you’re ok signing a magical contract agreeing to it.
*He holds out his hand and mana begins to flow outwardly*
(Magical contract: Proof of an agreement between Magus. Magical contracts are binding and often hold very grim penalties for those who break them)
: Fine.
*She grasps his hand and a silver ring appears around each of their fingers*
: So this is the proof of contract?
(Proof of contract: An object of symbol which represents the agreement of a magical contract)
Kawaru: Yes, it can only be removed if: the terms of the contract are fufilled, if one of us dies, if the other one of us breaks the contract, or if we both consent to nullify the contract.
: I know that don’t treat me like some apprentice. Anyways who are you I should at least know the name of the person I’m forming a contract with.
Kawaru: That’s fine my name is Kawaru, and yours?
: Aylia
*Kawaru extends a hand.*
Kawaru: A pleasure to be working with you Aylia.
Girl: Kawaru, we’re always going to be friends right?
Kawaru: What makes you ask a silly question like that Sako? Of course we’re always going to be friends.
*Sako looks at Kawaru with sad eyes.*
Sako: Even if we’re far apart?
Kawaru: Of course you dummy! *He shouts as he bops her lightly on the head*

The time for the Holy Grail war is coming.
It’s time to summon you’re familiar.
Remember that it’s the Tosaka that raised you after your
parents died you have a responsibility to win.
Failure is not an option.
