'Strong.'
Swish!
Clang!!
Saber slices a baseball in half as they rush towards the mountain zone.
'Precise as well. If I didn't know about Quirks I would have assumed they were Archer with how strong and precise these baseballs are. He aims for limbs and joints and even if with my defenses being strong enough to let them hit me the force will push me back. Remarkable. This world of so little mystery left produced someone like All Might and this child.'
Saber could feel the bones in his arms shake. The force Albert was throwing the baseballs were deadly to anyone who doesn't have a defense like Saber or a regeneration ability.
Saber arrived at the Mountain Zone and jumped to the top where he saw the one throwing the baseballs.
"So… the shining knight came to lope my head off." Albert said as he swings his sword.
"…What is your name?" Saber readies his sword with a stance.
"Albert. Care to give me yours?"
"I am Siegfried."
"Siegfried? Like the knight from the Nibelungenlied? The one with the thing about the back? What you're not giving me a real name?"
"As I said my name is Siegfried." Siegfried didn't care as he was not planning on letting Albert live. "Now I will lop off your head, Albert."
"Before you do can you do me a knight's honor?"
'He wishes to make a deal? Very well.'
"What is it that you wish?" As a servant and a knight he might as well do him a wish before his death.
"Oh nothing to serious. Just that should I survive this encounter you are to not speak of what happened today."
"?" A confusing question but an easy enough request. "Very well. As a knight I will honor your last will."
"How very sweet. But should I win… I want your sword."
"You wish for my blade? You cannot use its full potential."
"Then it's an easy profit for you."
"…Fine. I'll even give you my heart while we're at it."
"Heh~ How very kind of you. Deal."
From Albert's sleeve a baseball came out, and he tossed it full force at Siegfried.
Boom!!!
Swish!!!
Clang!!!
The force ripples through his arms, Albert threw his baseball with even more force. But that was merely a diversion.
"!?" Siegfried looked below to see Albert had already covered the distance.
Albert was superhuman, his abilities grant him a speed to at least surprise Servants.
'Fast!? Nearly as fast as All Might! But his sword cannot cut through me!'
Albert swings his sword and as he was gonna hit Siegfried, Siegfried himself felt a familiar feeling.
'Dragon!?'
Albert at the last second used his Mana Burst and—
Snap!!!
"!?"
The katana snapped upon trying to cut Siegfried's skin. Yet it made Siegfried actually think he made a mistake.
Siegfried quickly jumped back towards the edge of the mountain. He touched his abdomen and then looked at Albert with a sharp gaze. Even if he didn't break his skin it was still enough for Siegfried, a servant of the Saber class to take great curiosity towards this human.
"You…" he looked at Albert with curiosity and surprise. "You have the Mana Burst of a dragon. How?"
Saber also began to get a little concerned about this development and the sharing of his true name.
"Hmm…" Albert made a smug smile. "Not telling you, Saber." With his left hand he drew Takina and fired two rounds.
Bang!! Bang!!
Ting! Ting!
Siegfried blocked the bullets with his sword, but Albert came at him by clashing with his broken sword which was more like a short sword.
Clang!!!!!
'He knows of the world of Magecraft!!' Siegfried thought as this was the only way possible a child like Albert just barely hold his own, granted Siegfried was not putting his whole back into it. 'He has to die!'
"Hm!" Siegfried was impressed. For a boy he was very strong, but it was arrogant for him to think he could fight a Servant of all things and a Saber in a duel of swords. "You're arrogance ends here, Magus."
"Hrrr!!!" Albert used his Mana Burst again but Siegfried was built like a fortress and Albert just attacked that fortress with essentially a wooden stick. "You're really strong!"
"You know I am servant do you not know what that means?" Siegfried said without so much as a drop of sweat.
"Oh I do. Why do you think I'm fighting you and not Berserker?"
"You are not Berserks—!?" he immediately caught his slip up.
Siegfried could see under Albert's scarf that he was smiling.
"Thanks for the extra info!!"
Albert pushed as much as he could before kicking back. Leaving himself exposed.
"You are not escaping me!!" Siegfried kicked towards Albert going for a overhead swing.
"Bad move, Saber. Your back is exposed."
"!?"
That moment. He could feel the presence of another Servant, and it was another dragon.
'Damn!?' Siegfrieds mind raced. 'This worlds lack of mystery and the way this grail system is step up dulled my perception!? Or is this Assassin!?'
"<
Siegfried could feel the lethal power coming for him, it was precise, beautifully precise in how and where it's going for.
'Taken out too—'
A bright blue light flashed all for a brief moment.
Swoosh!?
"Eh?" Said Mélusine and Albert as Siegfried had disappeared in an instant.
Mélusine immediately stops her acceleration on the dime. She looked around and she could detect him.
"He's at the plaza!"
Plaza a few seconds ago.
THUD!!!!
Whoooosh!!!
All Might punched the Nomu into the stratosphere.
"B-But he was supposed to be built to counter you!!" the man with a hand on his face said.
"Fuu~" All Might let out a small breath. "You lost the moment you took the students as hostages. When you did that I was not a hero." His eyes grew into a fierce glare. "I was a teacher, defending his students."
"You… Cheated!!" He held out his left hand. "Come to me!! Saber!!!"
Command Seals in the shape of a hand symbol appeared on his left hand and one part of it vanished.
Flash!!!
In the bright light Siegfried appeared.
"Master." Siegfried said as he glanced and understood the situation at hand.
'My fight does not end! There is still—'
"We are leaving!!" Tomura said. "Kurogiri—Ting!!"
Siegfried blocked a rock from hitting Tomura.
"He is resuming his attack." Siegfried said. "And with even more projectiles." Siegfried stood in front of Tomura as Albert fired at him.
'Damn. The situation turned south fast.'
Albert at this point in time.
"Keep cutting and giving them to me Mélusine." Albert said as he had square cubes of rocks Mélusine sliced up for him. "I am going to kill—"
"Haha!! Surrender or—"
Stab!!
Mélusine stabbed the villain who appeared from the ground.
"Albert what should I do with him?" Mélusine said picking up the villain.
"Dispose of him however you see fit. Just don't let anyone find his body."
Mélusine could hear the cold fury in his voice from Siegfried getting away.
"Got it!" She picked him up, flew straight threw the dome of the exam and threw the villain far into the wilderness.
Mélusine then quickly returned to Albert who was still throwing rocks at killable speeds at Siegfried.
Back at the plaza.
THUD!!! THUD!!! THUD!!! THUD!!! THUD!!! THUD!!! THUD!!!
THUD!!! THUD!!! THUD!!! THUD!!! THUD!!! THUD!!!
THUD!!! THUD!!! THUD!!! THUD!!! THUD!!! THUD!!! THUD!!! THUD!!! THUD!!! THUD!!! THUD!!! THUD!!!
Many watched as Siegfried if tanking all the hits with some small pushback.
"Kurogiri!!! Hurry and take us back!!" Tomura shouted.
Swirl~!
A black swirl appeared behind Tomura.
"Sorry I was dealing with some unruly kids." Kurigiri's smoke began to covered Tomura and Siegfried.
"Next time we meet All Might!!! You're dead!!!"
The smoke covered them, and they disappear in a swirl.
Watching from the mountain Albert crushes a cube rock in his hand.
"…Motherfucker. He got away."
"Next time we he won't escape." Mélusine said as she returned to her spiritual body.
"Yeah… They won't. Mélusine find where they store all the video from the cameras and destroy them. Leave nothing behind but melted metal and ash."
"Got it!"
Mélusine quickly flies away to get rid of any evidence.
"… Balmung huh? Interesting."
