Other Dimension's Knight

The 4 man group arrived at the church in New Fuyuki. Rin informed Shirou that the priest inside was a mage and the one that taught her how to use magecraft. But when they arrived at the front door they were stopped by Alexander.

" What is happening Alexander, is there an enemy somewhere " asked Rin looking genuinely confused.

Everyone looked at Alexander that was focusing on the church and saw something twirl in his eyes.

He let out a small sigh before turning to Shirou and the rest.

" I'm sorry Shirou but I won't be able to follow you inside this building, or else I will be forced to cut down the hu- no the 'thing' that resides in it. " said Alexander looking at his master.

" Wait what did you see inside?" asked Rin that looked concerned. After all, inside was her master in magecraft.

" Nothing you should worry about right now, but be sure that this 'thing' shall be cut down by my blade before the end of this war. " said Alexander, now in a knightly posture as if he was protecting the church.

The group was silent for a bit before they ultimately decided to enter the church without Alexander, and Saber that refused to enter as well. While the 2 masters were inside the church, confronting Kotomine Kirei, Saber and Alexander were guarding the place.

" Arturia." said Alexander, which earned a flinch and a dangerous look from Saber.

" You... ho- " said Arturia before being interrupted

" Nothing can escape my eyes, and it's certainly not a name that will achieve it, King of Knights. I suggest you control yourself, as it is unfit for someone supposed to rule to react like this. Well to be honest if there's a thing that I noticed during my life, is that the one I pledged allegiance to was nothing but a little girl pretending to be a king " said Alexander with a look that depicted compassion instead of scorn.

Arturia was scrutinizing the man in front of herself after what he said. He sent her a smile and then refused to answer her questions after what he said. From what she felt, the man was possibly stronger than herself, so she wondered why she didn't know of a knight that strong, as chivalry was only highly popular during her era and she would have surely heard of someone of this prestige at least once in her life. But she was even more shocked after what he said. He was a powerful, very powerful knight under her kingship. There was no way she would have forgotten one of the knights of the round table, and her kingdom fell after her death. He wasn't hiding, he had even said his true name, yet she couldn't remember him and didn't get any vision from the grail. As frail as her connection with the wish-granting device was since her physical body never truly died, the true name of a servant should have activated some knowledge to flow in her mind about the mysterious knight in front of her. Yet nothing.

Knowing she wouldn't get any answer right now, she decided to drop the matter. But she wouldn't forget, not after what he said, and after he showed her such an expression filled with compassion about herself. She would get answers before the end of this grail war.

Shirou and the black-haired magus left the church and Shirou had now a determined look on his face. Arturia and Alexander knew that Shirou was truly going to fight into the war.

After having renewed their ' allegiance ', the group was heading back to Shirou's house. Alexander and Archer were currently astralized since it would be quite suspicious for 3 servants to walk around like this. They arrived at a cross-section near a forest and a graveyard when they met with a little white-haired girl wrapped in what seemed to be expensive winter clothes. While unusual, the most striking feature was the humongous ' man ' standing behind her. He was instantly recognized as a servant since no man of the current era could hope to exhibit this sort of pure aura.

He was standing proud like a statue but his lack of movement only made the atmosphere even tenser.

" Good evening, big brother " said the red-eyed little girl to Shirou.

" It is the second time we meet right? " she added while Shirou had his eyes glued to the servant behind her, his arms slightly trembling.

That reaction earned a smile from the little girl as she walked a bit towards them and nobly presented herself.

" Good evening Rin, I'm Illya. Illyasviel Von Einzbern. You... you do know ' Einzbern ' right? " said the little girl with a smile that felt off.

For the answer, Rin only clicked her tongue and mentally noted that this has got a lot more complicated. The physical stat of the servant in front of her was dangerous. They had no way to contend with it head-on so the.... wait, that servant called Alexander could easily beat him, thought Rin.

She mentally said to Archer to not show himself as they will have Alexander fight against the monster and make her think that he is her servant.

Archer only answered with a ' well thought ' and didn't materialize himself but simply distanced himself a bit.

' Now I just need to tell Alexander without Einzbern realizing it... ' thought Rin but as she was about to do something, the man with the eyes that seemed to pierce through everything showed himself.

" It is my honor to meet you, young lady, and I will be glad to confront your servant tonight. " said Alexander with a gesture that betrayed his noble background, well, his appearance already proved it.

At first, Illya thought that maybe this servant was somehow related to her family due to his attitude and white hair but when she looked into his eyes, she knew that it was impossible, he had to not be human to possess eyes this frightening.

She saw the two swords on his waist and thought that Berserker will quickly kill him so that she can move onto the next target.

" Berserker, kill them all" she said in a childish voice that contrasted with the content of that sentence.

The berserker dashed towards Alexander with a speed that even Arturia thought she would have trouble responding but Alexander simply raised his left arm and blocked the powerful strike with a single hand, not even looking at the enemy servant, as if he knew where he was going to go.

The Einzbern looked slightly lost when she saw the white-haired servant block effortlessly the strike of her berserker. It wasn't normal, Hercules was supposed to be one of the strongest hero in the world. Meanwhile, Shirou, Archer in the back and even Arturia couldn't believe what they were seeing. They knew he was strong, but not at this point. Rin had a smug expression as if she was the one that blocked the strike.

Berserker stroked fiercely and so fast that Shirou and Rin couldn't see what was happening. All they knew was that Alexander didn't move by one millimeter and Berserker was forced to back off. Although Archer and Arturia did indeed see what happened, they couldn't believe it. Not only this servant was physically way stronger than the enemy servant, but his swordsmanship was exquisite. Powerful, Domineering but also gentle like the flow of a river. There was simply nothing they could understand about his swordsmanship, it was as if...

As if his swordsmanship in itself was a noble phantasm.

Backing off because of a kick to the gut from the white-haired 'monster ' in front of him, Berserker roared once again.

Alexander frowned because his two swords couldn't cut through the body of Berserker.

" Your Noble Phantasm is quite annoying, Hercules. I guess these two things can't even injure you. " said Alexander.

" Hercules.... and you've summoned him as a berserker. " said Rin frowning.

Saber already got ready for combat when she saw that Alexander's swords couldn't injure Berserker.

Alexander simply let go of his two swords and they disappeared, Archer frowned at seeing the way they disappeared.

' Tracing.... ' Archer thought.

But suddenly everyone felt an intense power appearing. A sword sheathed in a beyond beautiful scabbard appeared in Alexander's hands. Saber recognized the Fae runes on Alexander's scabbard and was even more sure that she was supposed to know him. The scabbard looked somewhat similar to Avalon, her scabbard, but it didn't have any healing abilities, instead, it completely hid the sword inside, which she supposed must be equally powerful.

Alexander unsheathed his sword and Berserker felt an immense pressure fall on him, he became even more wary because that sword didn't let him fight at full capacities. Meanwhile, in Shirou's group, everyone was entranced by the sword. It was a pure white sword with blue runes on its flat. It didn't have any complicated decorations but the sword was still beautiful. The guard was covered with blue lines that seemed to contain pure prana. The hilt was colored golden and pristine blue. Shirou's group felt the warmth coming from the sword, and Arturia connected this effect with the effect of her sword, Excalibur. Archer, on the other hand, realized he couldn't trace this sword nor even understand it so it confirmed his belief that just the sight of his sword should be enough to recognize Alexander's true identity, yet nothing.

" Now, Greece's greatest hero, would you let me the honor to dance with you? " said Alexander to Berserker as he focused on the fight.

Berserker roared in response and dashed towards Alexander.
