[] Order Assassin to scout but to stay away from the Grail and the battle that will undoubtedly occur. You need to know what you're dealing with.
"Assassin, I need you to go. This might be our chance to go see what the other servants are like," you told her as you met her gaze, "We need to know what we're dealing with."
"Will I be joining the battle?" Assassin asked you with a frown.
"No. You'll be observing. Make your presence scarce," you clarified as you rubbed your chin, "Let them take the Grail if they wish but until the situation changes, keep a close eye on the events that will occur. We'll play this smart."
"I understand. I will go," Assassin replied as she stepped back, "Will you be staying here?"
"Yes. I trust that you'll return safely. Good luck," you told her as she vanished from your sight.
You need to go as well. You'll tag your consciousness into the Scrap Bird and follow Assassin. You knew where the park was, you should be able to get a bird's eyes view from the air.
You sat back on your bed and laid down. You closed your eyes and extended your consciousness to your automata.
.....
....
...
You opened your eyes to look down at the evening cityscape. You spread your wings and dived from your perch and took off to glide down. The wind howled past your body as you sharply made your way towards the park where the Grail should be. This was it, the real start for this war.
You just hoped that Assassin could stay out of sight. You flew down and through the buildings before flapping your wings and ascending once more. The park was in sight, you could see it. Enhancing your vision, you saw the playground.
"Assassin, are you close?"
"Yes. I'm at the park now. Two servants have appeared."
"Right on schedule, huh."
......
....
...
Assassin blended the darkness and killed her very presence. She had been too late and two Servants have already stepped in the Grail's presence. One of them was a talk man with rough looking features. He was bare chested and carried with him two massive swords as if they weighed nothing.
He stood by the Grail's side... That young child and stepped between her and the second servant.
The Servant was a man in his prime, wearing a kimono over his shoulders. His hakama was colored sea green as his sandals rose and fell with each step, his movements as light as a feather. His straw hat concealed his eyes but Assassin felt a deep pit of dread take form in her stomach.
She looked down at her hands and felt a primal fear upon gazing upon that man. It was like the very cursed blood which coursed through her veins churned on terror.
"Assassin. Focus. I'm here," her Master's gentle voice kept her steady as she hid.
So long as she remained hidden, that man with the straw hat would not see her.
She watched as the two Servants sized one another up. One wore the appearance of rough brute with his massive swords while the other remained stoic with his hand resting upon the hilt of his katana.
"Say, lil' Grail. You should step back. The grown ups have a bit of talking to do," the rough looking man said.
"Step aside, Berserker," the straw hat man ordered as he remained where he was, "You do not want this fight."
"Oh... I think I do, Saber, is it? Think your little sword can hold against mine?" Berserker asked with a low chuckle.
Saber cracked a smile, "One way to find out. But we can make this easy on the both of us. Simply hand us the Grail and we will leave you for last."
"Tempting. You know what they say about saving best for last," Berserker said as he lowered his swords, "But..."
He then raised one towards Saber.
"It's just not my style, buddy," Berserker said with a smirk.
"Such hubris. Your arrogance may just trip you up," Saber replied as the two Servants stared each other down.
The girl watching them took a step back just as a violent wind erupted from Saber. The girl's hat flew away and her black hair danced about as Berserker protected her from the harsh winds.
"Not going to make this eas-" Berserker hissed just as Saber vanished.
Lightning blasted through the immediately area before Berserker raised his blade. He blocked a devastating blow which was enough to push the mountain of a man back.
Saber grinded his blade against Berserker and the two men cracked equal grins. Berserker kicked him in the stomach before forcing him away from the child. The Grail watched in awe as two Servants dueled before her, each blow hammering through the air like Artillery fire.
Berserker slammed down his sword upon Saber and the katana wielder parried it easily. Berserker used his second blade to block the next strike and the two men were locked together.
"Not bad for a shortie," Berserker chuckled as he pit his strength against Saber.
"I'm impressed. It is an honor to face a Hero of your caliber," Saber replied as the two of them broke contact.
Berserker flew and hit a fountain while Saber smashed into a pond. Berserker dragged himself on his feet as he chuckled while Saber used his sword as a crutch to pull himself out of the waters. A heartbeat passed and Saber turned into lightning, smashing into Berserker's guard.
He raised his sword and disarmed Berserker in one stroke, robbing him of both his swords. Saber moved to cut but was met with a fist to his face.
Saber was pushed back as Berserker's swords fell on the ground.
"That all?" Berserker taunted as he cracked his knuckles.
"You amuse me," Saber replied as he sheathed his sword.
The awestruck girl found it in herself to move away from the fighting. She began to move towards the trees to hide from the Servants. Assassin watched her go and was cut between following her and watching the battle.
.....
....
...
You had the scrap bird perch itself on a tree while observing the battle.
"Master, what should I do?" Assassin asked as she turned her attention between the Grail and the fight.
