I've been meaning to post something like this over the past couple of days, but I kept getting distracted by going-ons in my life. At any rate, here are a few things to help you decide what to do, if needed.

Current Statuses:
Kiritsugu Emiya: Master of Archer; currently possesses 2 pistols with 10 spare clips of ammunition remaining, in addition to Thompson Contender with 3 Origin Bullets (rest are still at home); Can shift into Puella Magi form to make it harder to be hit, and can heal wounds; currently engaged in fight with Bernhardt von Einzbern
Archer: Currently holding off a woman possessing a dagger on a chain; fighting with multiple pairs of scimitars being scattered
Yuuno: Flying over to the Elementary School with Avenger from the Junior High School; possesses a half-dozen defensive tools, but little offensive capabilities
Avenger: Flying with Yuuno
Shirou: At home ill; recovering memories of the Fourth War and from before the fire
Illya: At the local Junior High School; no information of current events; possesses Kaleidostick Sapphire
Taiga: At the local High School; no information of current events; possesses Kaleidostick Ruby and Torashinai
Nanoha: Currently engaged in battle with Precia; possesses Raising Heart, a high prana-draining intelligent mystic code that has a variety of ways to cause collateral and non-lethal damage
Arisa: Currently engaged in battle with Precia; possesses some training as an executor
Suzuka: Currently engaged in battle with Precia; possesses some training with her bloodline
Maiya: Currently at home double-checking the gear Kiritsugu possesses for departure to Fuyuki tomorrow
Irisviel: Currently at home taking care of Miyu and Kuro

Enemy Statuses:
Bernhardt von Einzbern: wounded, but equipped with a wand-based Intelligent Device that shoots fire; in combat with Kiritsugu
Precia Testarossa: In combat with Nanoha, Arisa, and Suzuka; equipped with a whip-based Intelligent Device that fires electricity
Servant Woman: Blindfolded, but no combat decrease; uses a dagger on a chain; in combat with Archer
'Big Black Man': Approaching Kiritsugu through walls

That's very informative; thank you.
 
[X] Shift to Puella Magi form for the fight, contact Illya and Taiga to back up Yuuno and get the TSAB's support in putting up a bounded field to limit collateral damage and evacuate the civilians.
-[X] Inform Archer via telepathy of our plans
-[X] Focus on evasion, attacking Bernhardt only as much as needed to disrupt him from working any more powerful mysteries. Your ammunition is fairly limited, and a full out battle favors the attacker
-[X] Regroup with Nanoha's group as soon as possible, then focus fire on Precia. Use Origin Bullets on Precia if an opening presents itself, she's unlikely to have any nonmagical defenses.
-[X] Avoid the hell out of the Big Black Servant, you are unlikely to be able to inflict significant damage. Try instead, to ensure that Bernhardt is between Kiritsugu and the Big Black Man in the hopes that the Einzbern gets trampled in the confusion.

Now I can plan, anyway, we don't have the resources to teleport Berserker at present(nor any info on his Master), so lets see how mad he is, and how good Bernhardt is at playing matador. If he's not Berserker's master, Rider would have to take additional efforts to haul him out of the warpath of an angry big dude.

Should we use telepathy to tell Archer our plans too?
 
Year 6: Combat of Spite
Year 6: Combat of Spite

You needed to act quickly to resolve the situation you had suddenly found yourself in.

You gave a mental warning to your Servant to expect company and shifted into your Puella Magi form, the dress replacing your normal clothes, and moved to try to place Bernhardt between yourself and the being that was headed your direction through the walls.

Your enemy was smarter than you had hoped, though, diving out of the way in order to try to keep himself from being caught in between the approaching being and you. When the wall finally exploded, both of you were making an effort to not be caught.

The man that crushed their way through the wall was not a man. Standing well over two meters tall, he had a human-like body, but was more of a mountain than a man, with a body made out of black stone.

In an instant he crossed the distance towards you and swung a large stone axe three times, missing you all three times but creating craters on the ground you were standing on. If you hadn't moved, you would have been squashed on the third strike.

Smirking, Bernhardt stated that you would not escape 'the vessel's' Servant, before firing his mystic code more times at you.

It was taking all of your effort to dodge, though you hurriedly mentally contacted Yuuno to get the TSAB over and to contact Taiga and Illya. And to tell Illya to hurry home and to grab a Grief Seed; you had a feeling you were going to need it.

When you had gone out that morning to check the Bounded Field that was reported, you didn't go out fully armed; you didn't expect to be attacked in the middle of the day by a pair of Servants and a Master with a personal grudge against you!

You scrambled frantically for ten seconds, using Time Alter to keep ahead of the axe. After emptying a clip of bullets and tossing the empty clip at Bernhardt to disrupt a fire spell, you ran around the big black man, dodging his stone axe, and fleeing through the hole that he had created into the school grounds. The Einzbern screeched something in fear, before he suddenly disappeared, followed by the woman disappearing as well.

You had a feeling that you would have been squished if it wasn't for the fact that Archer started fighting the man now behind you. Now that you had the beast off of your back, you were able to hurry over to regroup with the Moonlit Children.

At least, that was the plan until you approached the area where you saw Nanoha and a woman who looked like an older form of Fate exchanging blasts with each other, bolts of lightning flying past Nanoha while blasts of energy flew past the woman. Arisa and Suzuka on the ground kept sending glances towards the sky in between moving classmates around to avoid getting them caught in the crossfire.

You stared at the scene for a moment, amazed at two in the sky. However, you looked in horror at Nanoha's opponent.

Nanoha already had a large reserve of Od, one that was on the upper limits of normal humans without modifications. Hayate's reserves beat that due to the former Nakamura Head's experiments on the girl, though due to your intervention she can no longer use those reserves. But this woman, Precia Testarossa if what you heard was correct, had even more prana than the two girls combined. The closest match to her reserves was Irisviel's before the Lesser Grail that she carried was-

Before you could finish that thought, Precia disappeared, and the sounds of combat behind you ceased for a moment before there was an explosion back there.

Archer mentally updated you. The giant he had fought had stopped fighting for some reason, allowing Archer to get one strong attack in to kill him, causing the explosion. However, it seemed like the giant's Noble Phantasm brought him back to life before he suddenly disappeared.

Three minutes later, reinforcements finally arrive, and the mess can start being cleaned up. Using some simple magecraft, walls are repaired, craters are covered, and memories of the incident are removed. Fortunately, the local TSAB were able to help cover up the battle, but still, there was a problem.



It seemed that the Einzbern family had teamed up with Precia, and had access to some of the resources that the TSAB provided. The biggest factor was the Justizia, a spaceship that was seen in space from the Arthra. It was likely that your opponents had been teleported onto the ship out of the battle and then the ship started fleeing in the direction of Fuyuki. Which was odd, since from what the TSAB had gathered, Precia and Bernhardt seemed to be winning before they retreated, despite the injuries that the later had incurred.

Regardless of the outcome, there were no casualties, even if some students had been injured, and crippled in a dozen cases. You had to use a little more of your magic from being a Puella Magi than you would have normally liked, but you managed to survive as well, though you had to use a couple Grief Seeds in order to keep your Soul Gem clean as you made sure that those crippled by the attack were not permanently crippled.

(Unexpected Expense: -1 Time)

You took an extra day to rest, before you departed to Fuyuki.

It was time for the Grail War. Hopefully everyone on your side would be able to come out alive.

A good plan, except for the fact that Bernhardt pulled everyone out as fast as possible after you got past the big black man. Thankfully, Bernhardt was injured during the confrontation, though not with your special Bullets regrettably.

I'm hoping to get the War done in one or two updates. It isn't much, but the above formatting should be allow you to make concise plans to be carried out for the war. Note that the other teams will be possessing a similar plan formatting (though they only get two Backup Plans instead of your three), and you'll get to see them after the war.

Good luck.
 
Well, that could have gone a lot worse. I knew that grabbing a spaceship was a good idea!

Not sure about overall plans, but one thing I highly recommend is that if any plans involve splitting into groups, do not let Archer and Shirou be in the same group. Instead, let Shirou hang out with Yuuno and Solomon.
 
One thing to note is that we don't know if there is a Matou or Toshaka representative.
True. I guess step one should be contacting Waver and Rin? At the very least, this attack feels like plenty of justification for a temporary alliance against Precia and the Einzberns under the same logic as was used for the alliance against Caster in Fate/Zero. Perhaps the Bannings family could put in a few words with the church too. Attacking a school in broad daylight is a flagrant violation of the secrecy of magecraft.

Oh also, putting Shirou on the same team as Yuuno and Solomon gives Solomon a chance to examine the Jewel Seed that's stuck in Shirou's body. Perhaps he could even extract it and control it without repercussions.

so here are some things to look into and the basis of a plan.

1. Contact Rin and the Kaleido Knights tell them the grail is corrupted offer your previous curse and the traced demon sword of Shirou as proof.

2, do the same with Rider and Waver send them a letter. Also point out here are other ways to ensure his true incarnation and grant his wish other than the Grail.

3. Explain this to Solomon and Archer too.

4. For all your allies give them some sort of communicator so they can always call for help if they are in danger.

5. Have Solomon and Yuuno if they have the time among other things, make you some poisonous enchanted bullets. something that looks identical to the origin bullet, but if said bullet hits someone's flesh would inflict a sure kill lethal curse or poison.

6. Everyone work together to fortify a portion of land against assaults. This platform is where we begin the ritual to nuke the grail.

7. You will spend your remaining time training with archer to get to know him better. Yuuno will spend it with Solomon.

8. Once preparations are complete. We are going to NUKE THE GRAIL. Throw one of those anti muggle barriers.

9. Percia and friends have to react to this

10. The plan for big guy kill him then teleport in space. Repeat this till they run out of command seals

11 plan for rider. I have got nothing here..

12. Some things to keep in mind. We probably should declare the elementary school to have poisonous gas or some sort of health hazard, so nobody enters the general premise of the area. No people means gathering mana is worthless.

Don't forget about secrecy of magecraft. That's a big deal for convincing Waver and Rin that Precia and the Einzberns need to be taken out.
 
[X] Plan (Write-In)
- [X] Goal: Dealing with the Einzbern-Testarossa team
- [X] Methods: Seek alliances with the other Masters of the War, particularly those we have prior friendly or neutral contact with. The Arthra will be the mobile base and communications center using Telepathy.
- [X] Priority: Preservation of the lives of our friends and family.
-- [X] Backup Plan 1: IF the Justizia is located, THEN get the TSAB to counter it with the Arthra.
-- [X] Backup Plan 2: IF the Big Black Man shows up, THEN Yuuno and if available, Nanoha, and Arf will attempt to bind him at range for Archer to kill him again.
--- [X] Backup Plan 2.1: IF Backup Plan 2 cannot be performed, THEN repeat the same strategy used previously to kite him over enemy assets while avoiding getting killed.
--- [X] Backup Plan 2.1: IF Backup Plan 2 succeeds, THEN they will proceed to attempt to teleport the Big Black Man to space where the Arthra can deal with him with battleship scale weapons.
-- [X] Backup Plan 3: IF Tohsaka Rin or Topher Joiner are agreeable to an alliance, THEN Avenger make use of their ley lines(for Rin) and/or collaborate with their Caster(for Joiner). ELSE, Avenger will use his own discretion to make preparations for the War on suitable ground, or the Arthra if there are no suitable locations to use.
-- [X] Backup Plan 4: IF Ruby and/or Sapphire are agreeable, THEN Avenger will make use of the loads of mana they can provide through Taiga and Ilya to bind a suitable force to use.
-- [X] Backup Plan 5: IF we encounter a Master that Shirou knows, THEN he will deal with the alliance talks.
-- [X] Backup Plan 6: IF we encounter any Master or Servant in non-hostile circumstances THEN inform them of the Grail's corruption.
-- [X] Backup Plan 7: IF a fight breaks out THEN the TSAB will drop a barrier on the area to prevent collateral damage.
-- [X] Backup Plan 8: IF Shirou and Archer have nothing else to do at any time THEN they should keep working on Shirou's magecraft.
-- [X] Backup Plan 9: IF Yuuno and Avenger have any free time THEN they should get to know each other better.
-- [X] Backup Plan 10: IF you get a clean shot at Precia Testarossa THEN plug her with an Origin Bullet.
-- [X] Backup Plan 11: IF negotiating with anyone who may give a damn about the secrecy of the Moonlit World THEN point out Team Einzbern-Testarossa's blatant disregard for secrecy, in attacking us in broad daylight, in a public school, full of mundanes.

Okay, since we got little intention of winning the Grail for ourselves anyway, an alliance is fairly feasible for us.

Hope I got the format right.

EDIT: Added a bit more.

In regards to seeking alliances, how about adding in something regarding how the attack that just occured makes Precia and the Einzberns a big threat to the secrecy of magecraft? They did attack a school in broad daylight afterall.

I am a bit worried about the barrier around the school. If we let it fester Rider is going to liquidize a bunch of kids. We should probably add something like contact some friends and get them to close the school due to poison gas leak. Tell them to delay reopening till after the Grail war junk.
 
What about Waver? We should get into contact with him, too. And we should definitely alert our potential allies about the corruption in the Grail.
