The Last Master

1 The Grail? Why do I have Command Spells? Hold on! Rider? Don't you have something to say to me? I do.
I'm really sorry.
But Terrible! You should be sorry! That was horrible! You wrecked all we've worked for! What a huge mess! First I thought Saber of Red killed you, but then you revived.
You come back to life and then it turns out you're Saber! Then you fight and then it's all back to normal! I don't get it at all! Yeah, I don't get it either.
Rider? I'm so glad you're alive.
I really am.
But listen now.
You mustn't be so reckless again! I can't do that, sorry.
Rider, I mean it when I say I want to help them.
I can't just look away and live on as if they never existed.
I'm sorry, but I can't.
Ri— Man, you really are a cool guy! I can tell you're willing to risk your life for this cause.
All right! I'll help you! This whole war thing is just so wrong! I'm sure I'll feel better if I help.
I can't allow that, Rider.
Uh-oh I think I prefer it when you're angry.

What is your plan, Amakusa Shiro? We hold the same faith.
You should know.
And you should know just as well that Fuyuki's Greater Grail is not for believers.
What are you seeking? I wish for the salvation of all mankind.
I'll use the Grail for that goal.
As Ruler, you should understand! At most, we can save the world and the people that live in it.
A Heroic Spirit cannot be allowed to spontaneously breach that barrier and bring salvation to all mankind! Sixty years have I waited since my incarnation! I don't have the option of turning back anymore.
Incarnation? I see, so that's what you meant by being the first Ruler.
This is a one in a million chance.
I'll obliterate any obstacle in my way.
Amakusa Shiro, if you no longer pray for the people of the present, you are no Heroic Spirit.
In that regard, you are correct, Jeanne d'Arc.
At this point I'm neither saint nor Heroic Spirit.
However, I will not stop before I accomplish the miracle of mankind's salvation.
What did you do to the Masters of Red? They've served their purpose.
They are none of my concern now.
What?! Reign in your anger, Ruler.
Did my Master break any rules? Empress of Assyria, the most ancient of all poisoners.
Are you Assassin of Red, Semiramis? Very much so.
Are you his accomplice? Or is this all your doing? Are you suggesting I tricked, tempted and lured my Master down the path of evil? Then you are wrong.
I am but a Servant, obedient to my Master.
Our Masters have changed just earlier.
You do not seem surprised, Priest.
Indeed.
We discussed the issue peacefully, and they agreed to yield their Command Spells to me.
That means that the Master of all Servants of Red present is me, Ruler, Amakusa Shiro Tokisada.
Y-You?! You were able to pierce the scales of the Fish God.
Then again, I won't just let you kill your Master, Rider.
Lancer, do you accept him as your Master? There are a few points we need to make clear.
Unnock your arrow for the time being.
Thank you.
You owe me no gratitude.
I did not recognize you as my Master.
Now then, we should once again fight Red against Black.
I have a suggestion first, though.
I recommend both of you defect to us, Chiron and Avicebron.
Considering the situation, this is a reasonable suggestion.
Rider, say your true name.
I'm Astolfo, Charlemagne's Paladin.
No, you're not! You're just a Servant! A lesser copy of the Heroic Spirit Astolfo! Well, you may look it at that way, but I respectfully disagree.
So I don't consider you Astolfo.
You're just a Servant, a familiar, a toy! And yet And yet! Like some idiot you ran off to save a mass-produced fly and brought shame to my name! Sieg, I think you ought to get out of here.
You're doing it wrong, Rider.
You have to get rid of vermin the right way.
Stop that, Master! But I don't want to filthy my hands by killing a fly.
Oh right! That's what familiars are for! As the Fourth Black, I order you by Command Spell! Kill that homunculus immediately! Dodge! Master, please stop this! This is pointless! Oh it's not, my dear! You will wail! You will despair! A proud knight of justice will be twisted wretched! Not a chance! That Noble Phantasm? Let's see how you fare if I lay a second one on top.
Stop Please stop I beg you, please stop! Great! Wonderful! Despair! Twist your face in grief! I'll wreck you while you wear that face! Stop it! What's the point in doing that to Rider? He's your Servant! Oh? Shut up.
Shut up! Shut up, shut up, shut up! It's all It's all your fault! You fucking homunculus got cocky! Dying like trash is your fucking job! Die now! Why aren't you dead already?! Oh, I almost killed you.
Listen now, Rider.
First crush his legs with your spear.
Then pluck his arms.
Then finally tear his head off.
Slowly.
No! As the Fourth Black, I order you by Command Spell! Stop! Now, kill this filth— Would you pipe down? Don't mind me.
Rider, are you okay? W-Watch out! The Command Spell's effects still linger.
Stay away.
Is there anything I can do for you? I guess I won't last without a Master.
I figure I'm gonna die soon.
Isn't there anything we can do? Not that I know of.
I'm glad you're alive at least.
I think I was summoned to save you.
That's enough for me.
Rider, make a contract with me.
Wh-Wh-What?! How would we even do that? I have Command Spells.
Apparently I can be a Master.
I'll make a contract with you! But I don't want to drag you into this fight! I wasn't dragged into it.
I joined the fray on my own.
I'd sooner die than let you perish! Oh, fine! I give up, I give up! Just a word of warning: I'm pretty weak! So no regretting that later, Master! I never would.
You don't mind me being your Master? How would I? No regrets! I hereby propose.
Swear your fealty to me, and my life shall be your sword.
If you abide the Grail's summons and follow the laws, then heed my call! Obey me and heed my call! Will you trust me with your fate? As Rider, I accept your vow.
You are my master and I am your Servant! Are you okay? Y-Yeah, I'm fine.
I'm alive! Yay! I'm glad to hear.
S-Sorry! That earlier Command Spell still has some hold on me! You almost became the fastest ever to kill their Master.
Not a record I want to hold! Master! Stay safe until I catch up! Yeah! Defect? Yet it doesn't seem like we're so disadvantaged now.
Quite sharp-tongued considering you're in the belly of the beast.
I doubt you have all your forces either.
What about you, Avicebron? Defection? A foolish idea.
Or so you'd expect me to say.
It would seem you know quite a lot about the Greater Grail.
I know all that and more.
My wish has nothing to do with the Grail.
Our interests do not conflict.
What are you saying? I have a condition, though.
What would that be? Do not lay a finger on my Master.
Appropriate as a condition of surrender, is it not? Oh? You yield in exchange to your master's safety.
Caster, but why? Archer, I have my dream.
If I have a chance of fulfilling it, my pride and morals are secondary.
I see.
In that case Don't tarnish my Gardens, Archer of Black.
We are yet to make a contract, but can I ask you to surround them? Very well, Master.
I really do not like it, but you're in my way, Ruler.
You should fall along Archer of Black.
Out of the way! Oh, come on.
Ruler! Stand down! Here they come.
What? I see.
So you were our Saber, Knight of Treason, Mordred! Don't go around touting my name! So you betray us, Saber? Are you dumb, bitch? You were my enemy the moment you tried to trick my Master! Then I'll chop your head off as befit of a traitor! Oh really, granny? Foolish girl! Fall back, Saber! We're getting out! See you, stinkbug woman.
They ran away.
Damn them Now, let us make this contract.
What can you even do, Caster? Very well, Avicebron.
We need your powers.
For the coming of my dream.
The opposition of Red and Black has completely fallen apart.
They got the Greater Grail too.
We have no moves left.
Yes.
That's not the problem though.
Amakusa Shiro told me he's been planning this for sixty years.
He's a survivor of the Third Holy Grail War.
I think I was summoned to stop him.
He's violating the laws of Heroic Spirits.
Still The dead must not lead the living.
That's the greatest law of Heroic Spirits.
But his wish has an allure that is hard to resist.
His desire to save all is definitely not wrong.
Are you okay? Hold on.
I'll help you now.
Thank you.
If the fight is over, I'd like to return to my cleaning duties.
It's fine.
I'll do it in your stead.
Just rest now.
I see.
Fine.
I'll rest a little then.
Good.
Thank you for coming back.
It's a sad faithfulness, but you saved me.
They're homunculi to supply our Servants with magical energy! Why are you letting them out?! None of them want to die.
Neither do I want to let it happen.
Get real! Who do you think you are? We made you! You have no right to free will! That might be true.
But we have enough humanity in us not to ignore those who wish to live.
What the hell?! Uncle Gordes, please calm down.
I understand your reasons.
But what will you do now? I Are you okay? You came back.
Y-You?! I need to talk to you, Yggdmillennia.
I became a Master.
Excuse me, what did you just say? One of you was beheaded by Saber of Red.
I made a contract with Rider instead.
I want to negotiate with you as a Master.
You've gotta be kidding.
Sorry! Coming through! Here I am! Rider, is what he said true? That he made a contract with me? Sure is! That means I'm on his side! You keep doing things we can't even dream of.
I feel that way too.
You seek freedom? Even though you have no hope beyond that? Can you act on your own, without orders? We might really not need free will.
I don't know if abandoning our duties is the right thing to do or not.
But even if there is no respite, and only despair awaits, I still want to walk there of my own volition! We don't need salvation.
But give us a choice! For that end, we're willing and able to fight! A choice Cut that out! Freedom of choice, my ass! Calm down, Uncle Gordes.
How could I stay calm now?! Hold on.
Archer, say that again.
Master, Caster betrayed us.
Is Roche still there? If he is, make sure he's safe! He's in grave danger! Roche! Where's Roche? Professor! Professor! I'm so glad to see you're okay.
This is the component you asked for.
Indeed, it is good to see you safe.
Thank you, Master.
