"Close enough. If you need anything specific, feel free to ask. Otherwise, you're ready to go" Kotomine said.

Gas Bill nodded, then, taking note of the new arrival and the other Master/Servant pair, departed into the night

Levi was standing in the secret room in the back of his apartment. On the floor was deep etching into the hardwood flooring. Levi had spent a while slowly carving it into the wood, he owned the building out right, and the etching would help not only allow him to summon a servant but hide and protect his home.


He was ready, he sighed to himself as he pulled out two bottles out of a bag, the first a large bottle of Evian water, the second a small glass vial. Leviticus Masters IX was no ordinary magus, he has existed in Tandem with his brother for nigh on 1000years, that was their curse and their magic, they would reincarnate and slowly gain access to the memories and magecraft of their past lives but only when the previous incarnation of said brother died. That was their curse and boon as Ouroboros, he could activate magic within all things that subscribed to the eternal cycle of order, or of returning to the mean.

Levi opened the bottle of Evian and started to pour the water into the grooves, it filled up the circle pretty fast and then he slowly placed his hand infront of the circle and sent out a pulse of prana, casuing it ripple. Stage one was complete.

Levi stood up and let out a long breath. And raised the small vial, slowly uncorking it, it was old from a previous generation. Not from his time, either this incarnation or the last, but from his brother.
"I call upon the eternal cycle, of life and of death and I offer you the tears off one removed yet entwined within it's grasp. Ouroboros."
He poured the tears onto the circle and the water rippled as the tears reverberated throughout the markings and flared into life.
"I am the Avatar of mine self over and over, I offer you my blood. Water of life and of death." Levi removed a small knife from his pocket and made a small slice on his palm, slowly allowing the blood to dribble onto the circle, it flared again.

"Heavenly fathers and earthly mothers, born of Akasha, grown in the hearts of men and beasts.
I summon thee, heed my call! Beast onto master, master onto beast.
Received in this mortal coil, existing as more without.
I am the order and the chaos, I lean towards the centre yet circle its core.
If you can hear my call, and wish to champion at my behest.
A champion of truth and morality.
Come forward from the circle of restraint into one of embrace.
Break free from the coils of archival constraints,
Step forward into modernity and clasp my hand.
You and I, Tears of my brother.
Thee and me. Blood of my heart.
Form this covenant sealed in water and in blood.
Take shape and incarnate.
Take my hand and come forth!"

Levi thrust his hand into the centre of the circle, and like a hand breaking through the surface of the water, it plunged deep into the circle. The water was boiling in it's grooves, steam was rising up and light was breaking through, as if it was trying to get through the water. Levi had it in his grasp, he forced all his strength, his willpower and his prana into this one action and he pulled up. There was a loud crack and water and steam filled the room alongside light from all over not just the circle. When the steamy mist settled Levi looked at his burn hand, it was red but redness would vanish soon. He looked up and standing on the now solid ground infront of him was a man, he was crouched on the ground and he was wet. He held a bow in his hand and he looked up and stared into Levi's eyes. Leviticus matched his stare.

"Archer..."

The crouched servant looked like he was about to say something but he solemnly nodded.

"Well we are running late, I suppose I should take you to the church for an introduction." Levi stepped back and slumped on the floor. "But first lets have a small rest shall we?" And then his eyes rolled back into his head and there was darkness.

Archer was greatly disappointed at his masters lack of stamina, if he did not toughen up he would not last very long.

He tried to lightly kick Levi to wake him up but accidentally sent him flying across the floor.

"Oh dear. Uh Master if you are still alive please raise your arm and groan." Archer said

After spacing out for a while, Iggy snaps back into reality.

"Oh, snap, forgot where I was for a minute there. Sup Kotomine, sup Ruler!"

"Saber, anything else or are you ready to head out?"

Archer dragged his master into the church still unconscious,

"I think I will just wait until he regains consciousness. That's okay right?" he said aloud as he entered

"No, Master. I am prepared for battle." Saber bowed to Kotomine. "I hope to see you soon, Brother Kotomine."

Kotomine turned to see the odd event. The man seemed to be dragged by his heels and was covered in dirt. The servant was oblivious to the scrapes his master had sustained.

"Of course, you are welcome to wait. In the mean time, tell me what servant you are."

Hrrrm, Rider, I suppose it's time to begin

As you wish, Master

Gas Bill stands within the center of Fuyuki Park, idly drinking from a flask. A moment later, an elegant woman in armor appears before him.

"Well then, shall we get going?"

The woman stares at Gas Bill coldly, "Yes. Let's."

As she falls into step besides the Master, he pauses, "Actually, you might want to cancel your Presence Concealment as well. Can't have anyone missing the bait, can we?" The woman nods, and the aura of a Servant seeps out into the air like a beacon.

"Let's see if we get any takers." And then, the two began wandering the city.

"I am the Servant Archer"

Crimson King said
Turning again to the other master, Kotomine greeted him."Welcome to the Fuyuki church. Again, I ask you the same question I just asked. I assume you know what to do in this war?"

"Just one question, I was under the impression there were only 7 servants. What is Ruler?" While he didn't show it, Brecht was annoyed at having to proclaim his ignorance however information gathering was part of the job and there'd be no better candidate to ask than this priest.

Ichypa said
"No, Master. I am prepared for battle." Saber bowed to Kotomine. "I hope to see you soon, Brother Kotomine."

"Ehhhh, honestly I'd like nothin' more than a hot meal right now. You like pizza, Saber?"

idkman said
"Ehhhh, honestly I'd like nothin' more than a hot meal right now. You like pizza, Saber?"

"It did not exist when I was alive, so I wouldn't know. I would be willing to try."

"Let's go get some pie then, bro."

Iggy whipped out his phone with lightning speed and searched for the nearest pizza joint, Saber in tow as Iggy led the way.

Levi had awoken, to what seemed to be cuts, brushes and shrubby all over his body. Archer had somehow taken it upon himself to drag him to the church was he not aware how dangerous that was. Levi had expelled alot of energy on that summoning, due to adding a few certain alterations to it that not only allowed for a better resonance with his servant but still had yet to be seen effects from his Ouroboros trait.

"Archer what? I said let me rest a moment, but it seems you were too eager." He said lightly rubbing his head. During his time out he had gone back to the origin, a cache of 1000 years of knowledge, history and magecraft, each time he feel asleep and his mind entered a different place, his mind palace he would discover a little more and would wake up just that small amount enriched, at times if his body or the universe demanded he know something, his eyes would roll back and he would be forced into his state of learning. The state of sleep, alive yet mimicing death, your mind focused yet oddly random. If anything when Levi slept it was a combination of a coma and astral projection and due to the nature of his magecraft it meant his opposite was able to move slightly from the realm of death one step closer to the living allowing a crossover of mentality which manifested in the mind palace.

Levi quickly gained his composure. "Father, mediator." He said bowing before Kotomine.
"I am Leviticus Masters the 9th of his name and master to Archer."

Guy of Z said
"I am the Servant Archer"

"Welcome then, Archer. As soon as your master awakens I shall begin speaking to him" Kotomine told the Servant.

Struggle said

"Ruler is simply here to make sure this war goes smoothly. As long as you follow the rules of the war, you'll have no worry" Kotomine explained.

Turning to the now awakened master, Kotomine spoke.

"Welcome, Master Leviticus. Since you have summoned your servant, I assume you know the rules of this war. But to be sure, are there any concerns or questions you may have?"

Serperion said

"You must endure much to win this War Master. You will learn either now or later but you must bolster your stamina as you were vulnerable while you were passed out."

Levi looked towards Kotomine and nodded. "I am familiar with the rules yes, no questions." And then he looked towards Archer.
"I know we were vulnerable and it was less of a stamina related issue than something more akin to forced mediation. But regardless if we had remained in our fortified base of operations as I had suggested then no risk would come to you or I. But your impatience and the realisation that unless I state it as a direct order you will be rebellious is worrying. To win this war, you must trust I know what I am doing."

Levi turned to leave the church. "I placed my blood, sweat and tears into summoning you specifically, literally and figuratively. Will you trust me Archer?" Levi said as he moved towards the door. "Because more that I need to trust you, I want to trust you." And then he continued walking.

His servant thought him weak, was he aware of the complexity of his summon, that linked him to the Ouroboros, something strong enough to sustain his mana. Levi wasn't sure, but regardless this was not for him, if was for Archer and for his brother.

Gas Bill continued to wander the city, making no effort to hide his presence
