Chapter 68 - 67 Another Master? (2/2)

”We need practice fighting against Servants. If Caster is willing to help us, than we can train with her to at least anticipate how they will react.... and....”.

”And what?”, said Gray.

All eyes of the Team glanced towards Zatanna who was still catching her breath. Despite not being injured, all manners of dust and grime covered her body. Her clothing had been torn and ripped in several places as well.

”She needs this. Not just as a magic user but also as a woman”.

Mareena spoke from across the room. She was sitting next to Cassie and Kara as per usual, one hand clasped around Kara's as she gave her Atalantean friend a small smile.

Kara looked towards Gray and gave the man a nod, causing the Pseudo-Servant to sigh before shrugging his shoulders.

”If Caster agrees than I can't stop her. I don't really want to waste a Command Seal either on forcing her to stop..... just.... don't make a mess”.

The smiles on the faces of the Team were all the response Gray needed to get as they all exited the glass box and headed down towards the arena where Zatanna was currently standing. Caster raised an eyebrow at her Master before mouthing the word ”ice cream” towards him.

Gray smiled a little and nodded at his Servant's childish actions, although the Queen of Ice and Snow couldn't bear to deal with the summer heat, opting to spend most of her time avoiding anything above 10 degrees Celsius.

The twenty year old left the basement and by extension the building, to go to the nearest store to buy Scathach-Skadi some ice cream, only to sense something behind him which caused him to frown.

He sent a message to Caster, but told her not to come towards him, as he led his shadow towards a nearby alley. The moment he entered the shadowy part of the city his natural Presence Concealment activated, and he vanished into the environment around him.

A small gasp escaped someone's lips, and a pair of shoes hitting the ground came towards the Pseudo-Servant as a figure came down from the sky, garbed in a alien looking white and gold armor, with black pauldrons on her shoulders.

Her beautiful orange hair waved down her back as her pretty blue eyes darted around the alleyway. The beautiful woman showed a puzzled expression as she placed the black sword in her hand in the ground, causing it to crack as the tip pierced through the concrete.

”.... Where did he go? Did he spot me? But how could he when I was flying....”.

The beautiful ginger looked around the alleyway, before a gust of wind brushed over her, and the feeling of cold steel pressed up against her throat.

She saw Gray's hair and eyes turn as white as snow itself, yet the massive black sword contrasted his looks heavily. Much like her own sword and armor.

”Who are you? Why are you following me?”.

The girl didn't show any fear as Gray pressed Rengoku into her throat even further, as she raised up her hand to reveal a faint red smudge on the back of her hand. A similar smudge was seen on Rin's hand yesterday, when he ”coincidentally” saw her again as she was coming back to her hotel.

Gray, not dropping his guard removed the sword from the redhead's neck, and watched her take off her helmet as she spoke.

”My name is Bekka, and just over a week ago this mark appeared on my hand. I saw you in Metropolis and followed you back here. I was hoping you could help me get rid of this....”.
