Author's Notes:

After looking over the story again, and play some fate/stay night games. I've decided to continue working on this story. Right now we enter into the holy grail war arc of this story where Saber and Sweetie Belle are now force to fight their way though the war to obtain the Holy Grail.

1st WEEK
The first selection
Combatants Remaining: 128

(Day 1)
[Morning]

As the digital sun rose from behind the school, the light from the sun shined it’s light onto the sleeping servant. In a split second, the servant that was laying on the ground opened her eyes as she only had one question going on in her mind. “W-Where the hell am I?” She asked as she tried to pull herself up. As she lifted herself up from the floor of the room she was in, she started to scan the area she was in. From what she could tell, she was in some kind of high school classroom that you would usually see in japan. As the Saber continue to scan the room, she soon notice a familiar pony sleeping with her head down on the desk. Walking up to the pony to get a better look, it none other than Rarity’s little sister, Sweetie Belle

“Hey, you okay?” She asked as she lightly shook the unicorn to knock her hand away from her.

“Five more minutes Rarity. I don’t want to go to school today.” Sweetie Belle said lazily. The servant rolled her eyes as an idea came into her head. Walking over to the desk in the front of the classroom, the servant pulled out a paper bag and began to fill it with air. Once the bag was full of air she preceded to walk over to Sweetie Belle, aimed the bag near her head, and slammed her hand on i,t causing it to pop. This caused the unicorn to fall out of her seat and onto the floor face first.

“Ow! Why the hell would you do that!?” Sweetie Belle asked as she got up and glared at the knight.

“You wouldn’t wake up, so I decided to the best next thing.”

“By scaring me half to death!?”

“It worked didn’t it?”

“Whatever, just don’t do that ever again.” Sweetie Belle said as she looked around the room they were in. “So where are we?”

“We’re in a classroom. Mainly a high school that you would see in neighpon.”

“Did we get sent to neighpon in our sleep?”

“Maybe, then again I wouldn’t know seeing how I don’t use magic like that.”

“Then how are we supposed to get back home then? I can’t magically teleport us back, I haven’t learn how to even teleport even small objects.”

Saber walked over to the window of the classroom causing her eyes to widen in shock at what she sees. “You might want to get over here kid.” From what Sweetie Belle could tell the sky was filled with nothing but ones and zeros, almost as if they were in a video game. Only this one had NPC’s that looked like they were able to move and talk like a normal person does

“We’re not in Neighpon.”

“Five bits says that Holy Grail thing has something to do with this.” Sweetie Belle said.

“Oh good, you’re both awake.” said a mysterious feminine voice filling the room. “For a second there I thought I had to force you both to wake up myself.”

“Who’s there?” Saber asked as she looked around the room to find out where the voice is coming from.

“Oh, where are my manners. Give me a second to make myself noticeable.” The voice said as a flash of light filled the room for a second before fading away. Standing on top of the desk was a woman with blond hair and was wearing elegant armor similar to Saber.

“There we go, much better.” The young woman said as she begun to stretch her back.

“Wow, she almost looks like you Saber. Only much younger and more refine.” Sweetie said, only for Saber to smack her upside her head.

“Care to explain who you are?” Saber asked.

“I’m Ruler, the overseer and watcher of the Holy Grail Wars.” Ruler said as she bowed to the Servant and Master. “I have to say, this is the first time a pony actually join in on this grant event.”

“Holy Grail War?” Sweetie Belle asked, not understanding what was going on.

“The Holy Grail War is pretty much self explanatory. You and your servant are here to claim the Grail for yourself. The Holy Grail is said to have held the blood of a savior and has the power to grant wishes. Sadly the original has been lost to time and all that remains are base counterfeits. But no matter. The Holy Grail for which you are fighting is a different object altogether. Early on, the Holy Grail War was the name given to the ceremony magi held to gain the Grail. In truth, it was a bloody melee from which the sole survivor would be granted the Holy Grail.” Saber said as she looked back at Ruler. “We’re basically stuck here until we either win or die?”

“Spot on Saber.” Ruler said as she handed them a bag. “Inside the bag are some items that you’ll need to start out with. Careful not to waste it all in a day.”

"You have no choice but to fight your way to win this bloody war. If not….well….”

“I’m only 11 years old! I don’t even know how to fight! I haven’t even gotten my cutie mark yet!” Sweetie Belle said as she began to panic and run around the classroom. Only for Anna to grab her by the collar as she ran by her.

“And what would happen if we chose not to fight?” Saber asked.

“Oh, then the moon cells will kill you both if you chose not to fight. And when I say they will kill you.” Ruler snapped her fingers as a sharp pain coursed through both Sweetie Belle’s and Saber’s body, causing them the kneel down on the floor. As they looked up to see Ruler, she was hold a mirror large enough for the Master and Servant to see what caused the pain to their bodies. “You notice those patches of black spots on you both? That’s the Moon Cells killing you slowly and painfully. Don’t worry, they’re not gonna kill you.” She said as she snapped her fingers making the black patches go away. “But this will happen if you lose or refuse to fight in the holy grail war.”

“Your evil.” Sweetie Belle said gasping for air.

“I’m just an overseer of the war. I’m only here to make sure that no one breaks the rules and stuff. Not my fault fate decided to do this to you.”

“But we never agreed to any of this!” Sweetie Belle yelled.

“Like I said, blame fate for what’s happening to you.” She said as she notice Saber glaring at her. “Hey, look on the brightside. At least when you win, you get a free wish and you’ll be able to go back home.”

“What do you think Saber?” Sweetie Belle asked, looking at the servant.

“We pretty much have no choice but to fight kid.” Saber said, scratching the back of her head. “Geez, talk about fucked up situations.”

Sweetie Belle sighed at this as she looked back at Ruler. “If we do this, can we really get back home?”

“Of course. Once you are the last ones standing, you’ll claim the holy grail as your own and you will be returned home. That is if you actually win.”

“So what do have to do to win?” Saber asked.

“Simple really, all you have to do is survive all seven rounds at the end of each week. Make it past that and you’ll be free to leave.”

“So, where do we stay?” Sweetie Belle asked.

“Have a look around your new battlefield first before going into your room. You might want to explore the campus before the war starts. Hell you might meet some interesting people here.”

“Okay…” Sweetie belle said before holding Anna hand. “Come on Saber, let go.”

“Enjoy your stay here!” Ruler said as she waved at the duo. Only for Anna to flip her the middle finger before they left the classroom they were in. “This should be an interesting war with these two in it.” She said as she disappeared in a flash of light. Opening the door, Sweetie Belle and Saber looked from the opposite directions of each other. From what they could tell, there wasn’t that many people walking around in the hallway.

“So what are you supposed to be?” Sweetie Belle asked as the duo walked down the hallway of the school/battleground. From what I’ve heard from Rarity, you’re suppose to be some kind of knight or something right?”

“To explain it more clearly, Servants are legendary souls called from the past or future to help their Masters win in the Holy Grail War. Only those whose deeds are acknowledged long after their deaths become legendary souls. In a way Servants are basically soldiers, there to guide and protect the one that summoned them.”

“So are all you guys the same or are you all different?”

“As per the rules of the original Holy Grail War, Servants are divided into….I want to go with seven, but depending on what war we’re in I’m gonna say eight classes. Originally, the classes of legendary souls were hidden, but I guess over time things have changed. We have Saber, Lancer, Archer, Rider, Assassin, Berserker, Caster, and Avenger.” Saber said as she showed Sweetie Belle who she was. "As you can see I am part of the Saber class. The strongest class out of all the classes.”

“You seem to know a lot about this holy grail war stuff. Have you been in one before?” Sweetie Belle asked as she pulled out a portable terminal from the bag Ruler gave her.

“I read a lot in my spare time.” She answered as she notice some of the people in the hallway looking at them strangely. Saber turned her attention at Sweetie Belle, who was gripping her hand tighter than usual. “Hey, relax kid. If anyone tries to make a move on you or something, I’ll take care of them for yeah.”

“Really?”

“Yeah, you have nothing to fear-.” Before Saber could finish her statement, her stomach began to growl. Causing her face to blush red and making Sweetie Belle laugh. “Let’s get something to eat before we continue our search around the school. Know where the cafeteria is?” She asked. Sweetie Belle pulled a map from her portable terminal telling her where the cafe is.

“There’s one down those stairs.”

“Perfect, we’ll get some food and continue our look around.” Saber said as she and Sweetie Belle walked down stairs to the cafeteria. As the two entered the cafeteria, the room fell silent as the combatants of the holy grail war looked at the duo, mainly Sweetie Belle.

“Is this going to be a normal thing whenever we go into a crowded place like this?” Sweetie Belle asked.

“Well you are a talking pony that most humans would see in a cartoon show. So you can’t blame them for being surprise at what they’re seeing.” Saber said as she and Sweetie Belle made their way to the counter of the cafe. “Excuse me ma’am, can we have something to eat?”

“Welcome to the-.” Just as the female student from behind the counter turned around, her eyes widen in surprise at what was standing in front of her.

“Um….Hi?” Sweetie Belle said, waving awkwardly. Only for her to yelp in surprise at how the human tackled her and started cuddle her adorably.

“Well….I wasn’t expecting that to happen.”

(Rooftop)

“That was weird and uncomfortable on so many levels.” Sweetie Belle said as she tried to fix her hair from what happen to her moments ago.

“Well you can’t blame her for doing that.” Saber said as she open the door to the rooftop. “You are kinda adorable on so many levels.”

“She could’ve at least ask before doing that to me. I mean really, have anypony heard of personal space?”

“They have, but when it come to cute things like you. They tend to forget about personal space. Come on, let’s just eat before we start looking around the place.” Saber suggested, only to notice Sweetie Belle looking at something. Saber looked up at the direction the unicorn filly was looking at. As she did she notice a girl with black pigtails wearing a red long sleeve shirt with a white cross on the front, a black skirt, and a pair of long black shoes.

“I’ve investigated this school from top to bottom, but there’s nothing unique about it.” The girl said, murmuring something to herself as she patted the walls and floors.

“Um...who is she?”

“Rin Tousaka. A very strong and popular girl around the school.”

“Is she dangerous?”

“Only if we piss her off.” Saber said as she notice Rin looking at them. “Crap, she sees us.”

“Interesting. Hey, you.” Rin said as she walked up to Sweetie Belle. “Yeah, you. Hmm, I haven’t checked the NPCs out much yet. Aha, I know a simple way. Don’t you move.” She said as she used her thin, delicate fingers to reach out and touch Sweetie Belle’s cheeks.

“U-Um….S-Saber?” Sweetie Belle said as her face blush slightly red.

“Imagine that. You’re warm, though you shouldn’t be. What’s even odder is that you’re some kind of humanoid like unicorn. Huh? That’s weird, seeing a NPC’s cheek flush red like that.” Rin said as she kneeled down closer to Sweetie Belle’s face, three centimeters from the tip of her nose. “Very interesting. You’re more well-built than I had expected. You look and feel real. Maybe more the most people. Though that horse look would be a problem. Maybe it a glitch in the system or something.” Rin said as she turned around.”Hey, what are you laughing at? It’s to our advantage to look into everything, even the NPCs.”

“Who is she talking to?”

“Her servant. Though I do wish I can actually see him or her.” Saber said as she squinted her eyes. “All I can see is a invisible silhouette.”

“Huh? She’s a master too? No...a master should be more….well human than horse.”

“Hey! I take offense to that!” Pouted Sweetie Belle. “And I’m not a horse, I’m a pony.”

“W-Wait. That means when I felt up…..Oh dear….Ugh, how embarrassing.” Rin said as she quickly turned around. “Shut up! I can make mistakes too, you know! Don’t call me a pedophille! It could have been my imagination. Or a hacker-such a detailed NPC would rarely exist otherwise.” She said turning her attention back at Sweetie Belle and Saber. “Anyway, you’re to blame for being so stick out like that.”

“How is being a pony my fault you couldn’t tell the difference of a human and a pony?”

“I-I don’t know, it just is!” Rin said as she went back to exploring the area of the rooftop. “Now leave, I have more important stuff to do.”

“Geez, what did you have this morning, a bowl of bitch cereal?” Saber commented.

“No, it’s called minding your damn business cereal. Want some bitch slap toast with that?”

“.....We should go some place else to eat Sweetie Belle.” Saber suggested.

“Can’t you take her on by yourself?”

“I can, but the SE.RA.PH. won’t allow fighting in the school. So we might as well find someplace else to eat.”

[Evening]

“Well that could’ve gone better.”

“Like I said before Sweetie Belle. Be prepare to see people look at you like that for a while.” Saber said they made their way downstairs to the first floor. As they made their way to the first floor, they were stopped by a man with brown short hair who was wearing a uniform that was close to a pastor of a church.

“Congratulations. You have been deemed worthy to be a participant in the Holy Grail War.” The man said as he bowed to the servant and her master. “ I am Father Kotomine. Supervisor of the holy grail war. As of today you and you fellow magi have been give the honor of fighting in the arena down the hallway behind you two.”

“Arena?” Sweetie Belle asked.

“The war is run as an elimination tournament, with the grail being awarded to the last person, or in this case pony standing. In other words, the participating Masters will kill each other until there is only one person left. Simple enough to understand, yes? Even a complete idiot should be able to understand the rules.”

“I beg to differ. My friend caster can’t follow the simplest if instruction on how to make macaroni and cheese.”

“Then your friend must be an idiot and should die off some place else.” Kotomine said bluntly. “As I was saying, Masters get a six day preparation period before the Elimination Battles, which occurs on the seventh day. I’d advise you to use the time given to devise the most efficient means of slaughtering your foe.”

“Guess talking with them is out of the option, huh?” Sweetie Belle asked, only for Father Kotomine to nod in disagreement.

“On the seventh day, you and you for will fight. The winner lives, and the loser is….deleted. If you wish to make a query, speak now. The right to ask about the rules is given to all.”

“Who are we going to fight in the first round?” Sweetie Belle asked.

“Hmm…..Give me one moment to check please.” The pastor said as she pulled up a digital screen. “...Strange. There seems to be a system error. I will locate your opponent by tomorrow.” He said as the digital screen disappear. “One last thing before you got.” Kotomine said as he reached into his pocket and handed Sweetie Belle a key. “This key will give you access to your private room on the second floor 2-B. No one but you can use that key to enter the room.”

“Thanks, mister Kotomine.”

“Well, the time for conversation has come to an end. The door behind you down the hall will lead you to the Arena. For today, concentrate on becoming accustomed to the inner workings of the Arena.” With that, Father Kotomine made his way up the hall. “May god protect you on your journey little one.”

“Um, thanks.” Sweetie Belle said as she turned her attention at Saber. “Let’s head to the arena before we call it a day.”

“Good idea.”

Arena Level 04
First Chimeric Lunar Sea

[Greed and Lust combine to burst into Brilliance. And lead onward to the sepulcher of the sea.]

Sweetie Belle and Saber entered into the arena. To what they could tell from looking around, it looked like they were inside something that you would see in dungeons and dragons, only that it took place in a sci-fi setting and all the monster were digital and cubix.

“Like in any game or if you’re in the royal guard. The Arena is where everyone is allowed to do battle whenever they feel the need to fight or train. The enemy programs created by the SR. RA. PH roam the Arena.” Sweetie Belle said, which took Saber by surprise.

“I didn’t know you know about how this arena plays out.”

“I don’t, I just read the information about it here on the terminal.” Sweetie Belle said, showing the servant the screen.

“Well seeing how this is our first time here, we might as well deal with the enemies in this small area.” Saber suggested as they made their way a few steps into the arena, only to see their first enemy.

“What is that think?” Sweetie Belle asked, pointing at the weird cube like program.

“Klein.” Saber answered as she prepared herself for battle. “I’m guessing these are some of the enemies we’re gonna be facing in the arena.”

“You sure you’ll be able to handle them by yourself?”

“Please, compare to the stuff I face with back home in Equestria this shouldn’t be a problems.” Saber said as she charged at the enemy program, and slashed past it thinking that she killed. Only to notice it spinning towards her as she quickly dodged it. “What the? That should’ve killed it.” Backing away from the Klein, Saber quickly deflected another spinning attack as she countered with an upward slash causing it to be be push back.

During this time, Sweetie Belle decided to look more into the portable terminal. While looking through it she notice a sign that had Saber’s name on it. With a press of a button, Saber’s status appeared on it. “Um, I might know why that move didn’t work.” Sweetie Belle said as she showed the Servant her status.

Status:

Saber:
HP: 320/320
MP: 92/92

Strength: 16 E
Defense: 16 E
Agility: 15 E
Magic: 13 E
Luck: 15 E

“We’re kinda at level one at the moment.”

“Oh for fuck sakes.” Saber said as she quickly dodge spring attack from the enemy program. “Six months of training down the drain only to have to start over again.” Bringing up her sword, the Klein began to spin towards the knight reading to attack her. Only for the Servant to parry the attack away and countered again with a spinning slash at the cord that connected the Klein together. Once the cord was cut, the Klein fell to the ground as it disappeared into nothingness. “Okay, I wasn’t expecting that to happen to be honest.”

“Weren’t you supposed to be strong enough the wipeout an entire mountain with just one swing of your sword?”

“I guess due to the fact that we’re stuck in this war, my strength has been reduced. Man, this is going to be a pain in the ass to deal with.”

“Guess that means we’re gonna be here for a while huh?”

“Pretty much yeah. If I had just say not to worry or thinking that I was at full strength throughout the entire week, then we would’ve lost the first round at the end of the week.” Saber said as she lifted her sword onto her shoulder. “Let’s just deal with the other two before we head back.”

[Night]
(Private Room)

“Man this sucks.” Saber said as she pushed a few desk near the window to make a makeshift bed. “Not only is my strength is reduced, but most of my powers are blocked off as well.”

“This might be a problem for us later on in the week. What we need to do is figure how to unlock at least one of your powers.” Sweetie Belle said as she levitated a large cover sheet and two pillows near Saber.

“I swear. When I get my hands on that dick of a grail, I’m going to strangle him until he’s dead.”

“Well we can’t do much of anything at the moment.” Sweetie Belle said as she hopped onto the makeshift bed that they made. “We just have to win all seven rounds and then we can go home.”

“I just hope the other know where we are so they won’t try anything stupid.” Saber said as she laid against the wall of the makeshift bed. “Welp, good night Sweetie Belle.”

“Night Saber.” Sweetie Belle said as she closed her eyes and went to sleep.
