Amongst the Chaotic sea, the grail found itself in it floated. The grail, while not sapient, had enough awareness to understand something was wrong. It did not know what was wrong exactly or what had caused it, but it knew that this situation was not the best.
Many eyes looked upon the grail's visage as it floated. One Golden Light shining Gloriously, The Blue of Hope and Change thought and pondered at its interruption in the great game, one of Stagnation and green paid it not a thought for its existence brought it nothing, One of Purple and Stimulation was enamored with new ideas and sensations it could unleash, and one of Honor and Red thought of it as a worthy trophy for itself.
From here Ten Million souls flew towards the grail to claim it for their patron. The Grail sensing the coming beings activated a defense mechanism it had. It summoned Servants to fight. Using the realm it found itself in as a source of power it summoned hero after hero to fight the tide. War Raged and soon the Grail was about to be claimed. This is when the Golden Entity seeing the damage it could inflict and the opportunity it brought opens the boundaries holding the grail and unleashing it upon the world below.
The Grail had decided that this world shall make a fine battleground for the Holy Grail War, but something was wrong. There were no masters to be sensed upon this planet. There were none who held the potential to even begin to be used as a master.
The Grail was at a loss, how could there be a war if there was no master to summon the servants? Deciding upon a solution it reached towards the Throne of Heroes. It drew deeper than it had ever before and what it found it grabbed and brought forth. An entity that is well known throughout the plane the grail had found itself in. They would do nicely as a Ruler over the... unorthodox Grail War. The Hulking Figure that was summoned knew what they had to do, and why they were there.
They worked for the day creating perfect circles, fourteen of them, to summon those who would die. He opens his mouth and a chant pours forth.
"Let silver and steel be the essence.
Let stone and the Archduke of contracts be the foundation.
Let Chaos be the color I pay tribute to.
Let rise a wall against the wind that shall fall.
Let the four cardinal gates close.
Let the three-forked road from the crown reaching unto the Kingdom rotate.
Let it be declared now; your flesh shall serve under me, and my fate shall be with your sword.
Submit to the beckoning of the Holy Grail.
Answer, if you would submit to this will and this truth.
An oath shall be sworn here.
THERE WILL BE DEATH UNDER THESE STARS.
THE SUMMONED SHALL FIND THEIR FATES SEALED.
COME FORTH THOSE WHO ARE THE DAMNED DECEASED.
FOR THE LAUGHING GODS THIRST!"
Fourteen figures appear in pairs The Hulking figure faces one pair almost randomly, "Master: Robin (@Roland27), Servant Saber: Link (@Dancelord). You are the first of mortals to See the horror." He moves on facing the next.
He stops and looks the next two dead in the eyes before continuing "Master: Callie Cuttlefish (@Brightflame), Servant Rider: Mary Magdalene (@grubleafeater). You are the first to ride to the Defense of others." he moves past them towards the two.
"Master: Chang'e Moon (@Sinsystems), Servant Archer: Cayde-6 (@General Trash), You are the first to strike the Heart of the matter." he turns suddenly and walks off.
"Master: Natsu Dragneel (@BanTheFairyKing), Servant Lancer: Matrim Cauthon (@Critian Caceorte), You are the first to face Mystery." He calls to the next two.
"Master: Waluigi (@DMdokro), Servant Assassin: Sakuya Izayoi (@shinkiro), You are the first to Feed." he slips past.
"Master: Marco Diaz (@Ardent_Dreamer), Servant Caster: Amaterasu (@Noob5674), You are the first to Feel the storm." He moves towards the final pair.
"Master: Tavish Degroot (@MedievalParadox), Servant Berserker: Anti-Venom (@thePUNisher), You are the first to Fight." As he finishes he moves and takes place in front of a Great Grail.
Assured that the seven pairs are looking at him, the man's Voice thunders. "You have been summoned forth by the Holy Grail to compete in a battle that could shake the foundations of the world. Heroes of Yore and Neo stand against each other to fight for a single thing. A wish upon the Holy Grail. The Seven of you, Master and Servant, will need to defeat all other pairs, dispersing their being back from whence you were summoned from."
"The War will begin in twelve hours, flee or do not, it does not matter. Only the strongest will survive to make a wish upon the grail. But be warned, this is not your world, nor one you will have experienced before. We stand upon the planet Kronus."
"Beset on all sides by the tides of war this once-quiet colony, became a savage battlefield. Seven armies Clashed on this one world, each refusing to back down, each convinced it was in the right. Beneath the sands of Kronus's central desert came the Necrons, ancient machines bent on eradicating all life." His voice softens in melancholy and regrets as he says the next part. "But another evil already had its eyes on the planet. From the depths of the Warp, the Daemonic forces of Chaos arrived to enforce their claim." The giant's voice returns to normal after saying this to an almost bored tone. "To oppose these fearsome powers, the planet's rulers in the Tau Empire sent their elite soldiers and sophisticated battlesuits into the fray. From the Mighty Imperium of Man, came the Imperial Guard, there to secure Kronus for the glory of the God Emperor. Like a green tide, the Ork horde descended upon Kronus, caring little for others' claims and sowing destruction in its wake. The Eldar, ancient enemies of the Necrons, emerged from their Webway to pursue their own agenda on Kronus." His voice is almost a whisper as he says this. It looks as if it physically pains him to say this. "And last… came the Space Marines, finest and most uncompromising of the Imperium's soldiers. Seeing a world beset by aliens and heretics they undertook a Great Purge."
His voice returns to thundering loudly. "The Dark Crusade has begun. It could only end in victory for one of these factions, and the total defeat of all others."
He scans the duos one last time before he says this last bit. "You only have enough power to remain in this world for one week after this next twelve hours. The Grail has informed me that there are Seven energy signatures to the East and South East of our current position, the collection of these energies will allow the Holy Grail war to continue past one week. NOW GO FORTH, HEROES. LET THIS HOLY GRAIL WAR BEGIN." He finishes with a shout.
The Masters and Servants in the same cavern no longer had their attention drawn to the figure as they walked off.
