A few hours later.
Fuyuki had a modern port that was covering a huge area of land. Avenger remembered that during her time, seaports weren't as big as this one. She remembered how she dreamed about setting sail beyond Japan after the war. It was nice to return to Japan as a heroic spirit but the female warlord wondered if the Grail War could happen somewhere else, at least she would have seen other parts of the world.
Both Avenger and her Master were walking in direction of the port when the female Servant felt something. She narrowed her red eyes and looked at her Master who asked.
"Did you feel it?"
"Yes...is this another Servant?
Avenger clenched her teeth. "It would seem he is calling us." Such audacity! She was lord of this land. Still, it made finding other Servants easier. "Should I go?"
Lelouch thought for a second before speaking. "No, we will wait. Other Servants might show up as well. It would be better if we didn't reveal ourselves too soon." he started looking around, trying to find something. "First, we need to find a place to hide. Preferably where we can see the enemy Servant. If no one approaches this Servant, we will make our move soon." Avenger nodded.
"Very well." she looked at the side and saw a good spot for them."Master, look." Before her Master could respond, Avenger changed to her armour and lifted Lelouch.
"Wha-!" raven-haired man wasn't able to finish as his Servant picked him up in bridal style and jumped at the air. Lelouch was shocked by such a sudden move but stayed silent. Avenger made several jumps, basically flying over huge chunks of land before she landed on top of the warehouse. She put down her Master. Lelouch coughed before speaking, "Please, inform if you going to do something like this."
Avenger smiled. "Sorry Master, but I felt another Servant...though I gotta admit you are pretty light." Lelouch just sighed before pulling out binoculars.
"I see someone." Avenger looked at the direction where her Master was looking and nodded. "Yes, I see him as well." Thanks to her abilities as a Servant she saw a man with two spears. "He has spears, this must be Lancer."
"He is waiting for someone to come to him. You said you felt the presence of another Servant?" Lelouch asked as he glanced at her.
"Yes. Speaking of which," she said and saw two figures approach Lancer. Two women, one with white hair and red eyes, while other was blonde in knight armour who was holding something invisible. "Here they are. The second Servant must be Saber but I can't see her sword."
"This second Servant." Lelouch suddenly said as he studied the appearance of a new Servant. "Something about her feels familiar."
Two Servants started to fight before they raised their weapons and rushed at each other. "Incredible." her Master said with awe. "So this is the power of Servant." Avenger had to agree, these two were fighting very well. However, she could see that they weren't using their full potential yet. They were fighting skillfully and carefully. A spark appeared in her red eyes when she saw how Lancer managed to hurt Saber despite her armour being in the way of the blow. Saber touched her fresh wound before blue light appeared in that place.
"Was that magic?"
"It would seem so. The white-haired woman behind the Saber must have healed her." Answered Avenger as she observed how Saber got rid of her armour. Two of them started to fight more fiercely this time. "They are fighting more seriously now. Master, do you see their parameters?"
"Yes, Saber has better parameters but so far they are even."
"Should I go?"
"Not yet." shocked his head, Lelouch. "We need to find more information about who they are. This way we will know who we are dealing with."
Knowing the identity of the Servant will be a huge advantage. Thanks to the Grail all Servants could easily access knowledge about all other Servants once they learned their true names. Their history, what weapons they use, how they fight and what kind of person they are. The last thing was most important in Avenger's opinion. She didn't want to work with a suspicious person who might stab her at the back.
'These two are knights, that easy to tell. All this honour and chivalry bullshit is easy to recognise as knight code. Well, at least it might make things a little bit easier.'
"Master, did you notice it?" Avenger asked.
"Yes, two of them fight with honour as knights should." he said with the serious face before smirking. "We can abuse this trait to our benefit. Not to mention Lancer's spears seems to have some sort of magic." Avenger smiled darkly as well.
"Indeed. However, we don't know their names yet."
"Oh, be a little patient, my dear Servant. It isn't like someone will announce their name so easily." her Master said with a smirk and Avenger had to agree. 'What kind of idiot would reveal his identity?'
Suddenly a thunderous roar pierced the sky. Lightning appeared out of nowhere and a chariot with bulls came from the sky. Inside it, they saw two men, one huge man with red hair huge muscles while another was a small boy who looked like he was about to vomit. Lancer and Saber stopped their fight and looked at the new Servant with a surprised expression. However, the huge redhead man opened his mouth and triumphantly declared:
"I'm Iskandar, King of Conquerors! I'm the Rider class in this Grail War!"
Every Servant and Master, expect hiding sniper and his lover, froze and were staring at Rider with a shocked expression on their face. The one who was astonished the most was Rider's own Master.
"..." both Avenger and her Master were speechless for a moment. Lelouch didn't move, still trying to understand what just happened but already processing information about the new Servant, Iskandar. Avenger on another hand stared at the king of conquerors with slightly open mouth and narrowed eyes.
"Well, he just did it." Avenger didn't know if she should have been amazed by Rider's announcement or laughing at his strategies failure. 'Still, it can work in his advantage as well. King of conquerors shouldn't be taken lightly. The man almost conquered all of the known world while he was alive.'
"Master, what should we do?"
"Iskandar or Alexander the Great...well, this might be an obstacle." Lelouch closed his eyes and thought. "Let's wait for his next move-"
"Join my army!"
Lelouch slowly opened his eyes and stared at him, his face didn't show any emotion but Avenger could feel how her Master was trying to stay calm. She couldn't blame him. This Iskandar was nothing like she imagined. 'King of conquerors? I only see a king of fools if he thinks anyone will join him.'
"Heroic spirits summoned through the Holy Grail, gather here and now!" Iskandar shouted as he raised his fist in the air. "These too-"
"Master, I'm asking again what should we do?" Avenger asked Lelouch, not bothering to hear what Rider said next.
Lelouch turned to look at her before glancing at three Servants. After a moment he answered. "Go there. It's time we presented ourselves. However, do not attack anyone just yet. We will decide who is the best candidate to ally with after some direct observation. So far Lancer seems like the best candidate with his two magical spears. If we play our cards right we might take out Saber tonight."
"As you wish." Avenger said with a frightening smile on her face, happy to finally have some action. She went into spirit form and moved towards three Servants.
