Chapter 3
(3rd pov)
We come back to Acnologia with a bunch of homunculi and golems, up against Mordred and Sisigou.
"Saber, can you handle the golems AND the servant?" Sisigou asks, somewhat worried about their current situation, and drawing out a shotgun.
"The golems are easy, the servant is going to be a challenge," Mordred replies, though she still has a somewhat confident tone.
"This is going to be fun," Acnologia says while cracking her knuckles, simultaneously flowing magic into her fists.
The homunculi then charge, with Sisigou shooting at them. While Mordred charges at Acnologia, to which she does the same.
They both collide with a punch countering each other and causing a huge shockwave knocking over those close to the two, and sending the two away from each other.
The golems got close to Mordred, one swinging their rock clubs at her. When she caught it easily and proceeds to throws it out of the way.
She then speeds back away with red lightning and runs straight at the golem, jumping off of it.
She also equipped the bottom part of her knight armor, lands on a building next to the golem, launches off of it, and destroys the golem with her armored legs.
Two more come up, ready to try the same, but all she does is smirks. She is then suddenly covered in red lightning, which formed into her upper part of her knight armor.
A golem swings its club at her, to which she leans over to the left dodging the club. One of the golem's arms suddenly goes flying.
More red lightning but also flames, form in her hands, which form into a beautiful red and silver sword.
Mordred then slashes down both golems in the block of an eye. After that, she looks at Acnologia who was waiting impatiently by the way she was tapping her foot and smirks. She then forms her helmet up.
While that was happening, Sisigou was fighting multiple homunculi with a shotgun with Gandr bullets and a (human) heart-shaped grenade.
Mordred then stabs another golem in the chest, bringing it down and killing it. A golem on the rooftops was about to shoot her when she THROWS her sword at it killing it while she fights another golem in close combat, destroying a piece of the golem with every hit.
She then picks up a defeated golem and throws it at the golem with her sword in it, destroying both golems. And sending her sword flying into the air, to which she catches it before it hits the ground.
Mordred then turns to Acnologia with her sword raised, ready to fight. Acnologia just stands there, doing nothing.
"Was the sword throwing really necessary?" Acnologia asks with a blank face.
"It doesn't matter how you finish a fight as long as it's over," Mordred replies with a cocky tone, which makes Acnologia laugh.
"True," Acnologia says still laughing.
She stops laughing and gets into a stance, though she still has a smirk on her face.
Mordred then lets her helmet down, to show a challenging smirk.
They both wait, waiting for the first one to make a move. A piece of one of the golems on the roof falls and shatters, starting the fight.
Acnologia speeds over to Mordred, right hand raised like a claw.
"Gouging Claw!" Acnologia exclaims while slashing at Mordred, who blocks it with her sword. Though what neither realized, was that it caused a shockwave blowing loose and somewhat light items away from them.
Mordred pushes Acnologia away and then goes in to slash at her. Acnologia counts with the same move, but on the other hand, knocking the attack away. Acnologia then attacks Mordred again but with both claws this time, with Mordred blocking and countering again.
This goes on for a while, them both attacking, countering, and blocking each other, with both getting shallow cuts and slashes during the fight. This goes on for a few minutes, though to the two that are fighting, it felt like hours.
'What is this feeling?' Acnologia thought with a smirk on her face, still fighting Mordred.
'Why do I want to keep fighting her?' Mordred thought also smirking while fighting Acnologia.
'Why does it feel like-'
'-I don't want this battle to end?'
'Why do I want to fight this woman in front of me...' Both thought at the same time while getting ready to clash once again.
'WITH EVERYTHING I GOT?!' They both internally scream at the same time, while they both punch each other in the face sending each other flying away.
They both slowly get up after being on the ground from the punch.
"What is your name, Saber of Red?" Acnologia asks.
Mordred hesitates, unsure to give her true name to her, though for some reason she wants to. She looks to Sisigou who was already looking at her. They stare for a moment, then he nods his head. Mordred turns back to Acnologia.
"I am Mordred. Son of the King of Knights. The Knight of Treachery," Mordred introduces herself, with her sword on her shoulder and smirking.
"A powerful name, for a powerful person," Acnologia replies, causing a small blush on Mordred's face, though the said person doesn't notice it.
"I am Acnologia. The King of Dragons. The Dragon of Demise," Acnologia introduces herself, also smirking.
'Acnologia, come back,' Acnologia heard in her head to which she turns her head towards the castle with a blank stare.
"Sorry Sir Mordred, but it looks like we are going to have to continue our fight later," Acnologia said while turning around, flinging her cloak around in the process, and then walks towards the castle.
"Wait what? You can't just walk away like that!" Mordred exclaims, sad about a worthy opponent walking away.
"Not my call to make," Acnologia replies while waving her hand bye to Sisigou and Mordred without looking at them.
On the way back, Acnologia had her eyes in a seemingly random direction. Unknown to everyone else, it is actually the direction of another servant.

Somewhere else

The said servant was looking right back.
That person's master asks if they are okay.
"Don't worry mommy, we're okay," the servant said, showing that it was a little girl.
The master asked if they were sure.
"Yeah mommy, I think we found someone like us, in a way," the servant said in a slightly cryptic way, along with a small creepy smile, though it looks like an innocent smile on their face.

Back with Acnologia

We come back to Acnologia, who finally reached back to the castle the Black Faction was using as a base.
She opens the door and was met with a ton of weapons in her face by homunculi. She stares blankly at the homunculi, who figure out that she was the Caster of Black.
"S-sorry, Caster-sama. We didn't feel your usual aura, so we just assumed you were an enemy," the leading homunculus said lowering his weapon, along with the other homunculi there.
"Wait, can you all not sense my magic or something?" Acnologia asked. She was confused about why the homunculus said 'aura' instead of magic.
"Yes, no one can sense your magic, not even the other servants. It just doesn't work no matter how much someone tries," the homunculus replies.
'That's odd. I wonder why that is? Maybe it's because of my immunity to magic? Or maybe it is the type of magic I use?'
"Caster-sama!" The lead homunculus exclaimed, snapping Acnologia from her train of thought.
"Yes?" Acnologia asks while walking into the castle.
"We have found that one of the tube homunculi have escaped, and we are currently trying to find it," the homunculus explained following after Acnologia, along with the other homunculi.
"I'll help look for it later. For now, I have to see Rider for something," Acnologia says while turning down a hallway, walking towards where Astolfo is.

Location change

Now with Astolfo and the homunculus, they are currently chatting.
The homunculus is a very skinny guy, with brown hair and dark red, polished, perfect ruby eyes like all the other homunculus.
"We should probably get you out of here before Caster arrives," Astolfo says after a minute of the two chattings.
"Why?" The homunculus asked while tilting his head to the side.
"Because if she arrives back, she will be able to track you down instantly, and who knows what might happen," Astolfo explains.
*KNOCK KNOCK*
There was a sudden knock at the door, which makes both the servant and the homunculus jump and look at the door.
Astolfo gets up and goes to open the door.
"Yes-!!!" Astolfi begins but stops and stiffens, along with gaining a look of horror on his face.
The homunculus looks a little past Astolfo, though a little difficult in the bed, and has the same reaction.
At the door is Acnologia, with an amused look on her face.
"Yo, what's up?" Acnologia greets the two.
The screen turns black.

Sorry for the late update, again I am not a very active person.
Plus, today is my birthday (February 1st) making me 17 now.
So Happy Birthday to me.
I am already thinking about how far this story will go, though I won't write them down. (Thinking about sequels and stuff like that)
Thank you to everyone who reads this story and is still with me, I did not expect much praise for my stories since I am a novice at it (I only started using Grammarly after the prologue, so that is why there aren't a lot of errors).
Except for a lot of surprises, and a big bullshit moment in the story.
BTW, you guys have probably already figured out what my OC's Noble Phantasm is, so just wait until I release it in the story. (I will make a chant for the Noble Phantasm, I will post it later today, and I will need your opinion on it)
Oh yeah, I obviously don't own anything Fate-related or anything Fairy Tail-related (except this story and my OC).
Really need to start doing that.
