When Asuka woke up, she was in the guild's infirmary. The only person around her was Mordred. She was back in her normal clothes and was sitting in a chair close to Asuka's bed. Asuka sat up, and Mordred quickly ran over to her.

Mordred: "Master, how do you feel?"

Asuka laughed a little.

Asuka: "Like I was electrocuted"

Mordred: "That was seriously dangerous"

Asuka: "Since when are you the concerned type?"

Mordred looked away.

Mordred: "Y-Your my master, so it's different. If you die, I disappear"

Asuka: "Fair point, but I won't let you off that easily"

Mordred: "Anyways... The others are downstairs having a war meeting"

Asuka: "Why aren't you down there?"

Mordred: "Because I didn't want to leave your side. Also... father is in there..."

Asuka: "Why do you call Saber, Father?"

Mordred: "My... birth is kinda confusing"

Mordred pulled up a chair and sat down.

Mordred: "I was born from Father's DNA, I'm more of a homunculus than anything"

Asuka: "You're artificially created?"

Mordred: "More with magic. My mother was Morgan Le Fay, a sorcerer in my time. She created me, so naturally, she was my mother. And since some DNA came from King Arthur, she was my father"

Asuka: "And I thought my birth was confusing"

Mordred: "How so?"

Asuka: "I was born on the road"

Mordred: "That's it?"

Asuka: "Yep! My parents are already dead, don't need a tragic backstory like all other protags"

Mordred: "Anyways... They're probably talking about the two servants we saw. We already know the identity of Rider Of Black, since the boys said her name. If we do fight Rider Of Black again, we can only bring women to fight"

Asuka: "Does she have some... mind control powers over boys or something?"

Mordred: "It's more like she has a magic ability that can make males follow her every order. It's her Noble Phantasm"

Asuka: "What about the second Archer? Do we know anything on him?"

Mordred: "Nope, not a clue. I've definitely never heard of a spirit who can shoot lightning"

Asuka: "Is it Zeus?"

Mordred: "Actual gods can't be summoned. Demi gods are allowed, however actual gods would be too overpowered. Though I would definitely love to show a god who's boss!"

Asuka: "Where is Assassin? She isn't the type to listen to lectures and be in meetings"

Mordred: "Well... look under your covers..."

Asuka: "Oh no...."

Asuka peaked under the covers and saw a sleeping Assassin in her very... revealing outfit.

(Author~San gets another nose bleed TwT)

Asuka: "A-Assassin!!"

Assassin rubbed her eyes and yawned. Then, she realized Asuka was awake and grew a big smile on her face.

Assassin: "MOMMY!!!"

She jumped up and hugged Asuka tightly.

Asuka: "T-Too tight!"

Assassin got off of Asuka and stood next to the bed.

Assassin: "I was really worried"

Mordred: "Now that both of you are awake, we should—"

Mordred's sentence was interrupted when Natsu, Lucy, Gray, Erza, Wendy, Chelia, and Mavis came into the infirmary.

Lucy: "Looks like you're awake!"

Natsu: "Knew you were tough"

Asuka blushed a little and laughed.

Asuka: "T-Thanks"

Wendy quickly ran over and hugged her.

Wendy: "T-Thank you... b-but I never meant for you to get hurt"

Asuka: "It's okay, I'm just glad I was able to fully take the damage"

Mavis: "I'm glad you're okay. Jumping in front of the line of fire was very noble"

Asuka: "Thank you, Miss Mavis"

Mavis: "The servants are in their astral forms, so we have a bit more room in here"

Natsu: "No offense, but Berserker is huge"

Berserker formed for a quick second and slapped Natsu on the back of the head, right before going back to his astral form.

Natsu: "What the?!"

Lucy: "You need to be more respectful to Berserker"

Natsu: "Yeah, yeah..."

Mavis: "I think we should talk about what transpired"

Asuka: "Didn't you all have a meeting about this already?"

Mavis: "You were one of the key witnesses to the event. So we need you in this as well"

Asuka: "Okay! Let's get to it"

Assassin sat in Asuka's lap as they talked about the enemy servants.

Mordred: "That was only Rider and Archer, debatably the weaker of the 7 classes"

Gray: "We still don't know anything about their Berserker, Saber, or Caster yet"

Erza: "According to what First Master has told us, they're usually the more powerful of the 7 classes"

Mavis: "That is not to say we should underestimate the other classes. Especially Rider and Assassin"

Natsu: "Why Assassin?"

Mavis: "Like our Assassin, they are incredibly stealthy. They could have been watching the whole fight and we wouldn't have known"

Mordred: "Screw this, let's just figure out where they are and run in guns blazing"

Lucy: "That is a horrible plan!"

Mordred: "We don't have the recourses to play defensive"

Erza: "Mordred makes a good point, we were lucky there was no one else in the guild hall at the time. And we have no way of protecting the civilians in Magnolia. They may end up in the cross fire"

Mavis: "I agree, we need to take this battle outside of Magnolia"

Mavis held her hand out and a ball of yellow light formed in her hand. The ball of light then changed into a somewhat holographic map.

Mavis: "About 40 miles away from Magnolia, there is an old Fairy Tail guild hall that was abandoned many years ago. Though it may need some cleaning, it should still be very much intact. Because this was back when war was a little more common, the hall itself was made to defend. So it will be a perfect place for this war"

Wendy: "Will we be there until the war is over?"

Mavis: "Most likely, however I'm considering not sending you there"

Chelia: "We'd be by ourselves out there"

Mavis: "Precisely, so if they attack, you won't have backup or the cover of town"

Caster formed in front of Mavis.

Caster: "I feel us servants are capable of protecting the guild hall. I can put up magic barriers around the perimeter"

Archer then formed as well.

Archer: "I'll stay near the top of the hall, so I can keep a lookout. I can see up to 5 miles away"

Rider: "And I could provide aerial support on my hippogryph"

Mavis: "In reality, it all comes down to the Masters to make the decision"

Suddenly, Saber formed in front of Erza and whispered into her ear. Erza broke into a cold sweat.

Mavis: "Erza, what's wrong?"

Erza: "Saber says that Ruler is at the guild's front doors"
