Fate/strange Fake

You, dear. Listen closely.

What you need to eradicate are the ones who are trying to plunder from us.

You, dear. That's why you shall fight.

So that you can take your mother back someday.

You filthy spellcaster!

Oh...

You're missing quite a lot deep down there.

Let me tell you something interesting.

Those spellcasters that were repeatedly calling you guys "You, dear"...

They all died, okay?

If you still want to keep living...

come with me.

Oh, and... about your mother.

She's long since died in a country called Japan.

Let me tell you once again.

This operation is to recreate a Magecraft ritual...

that was once held in the Far East.

We fished up six Masters and their Servants using a fake Holy Grail War as the lure.

We will use them as catalysts to officially

summon seven Servants, and the real...

the True Holy Grail War will commence.

As a Master of the True Holy Grail War...

I will have you summon a Servant.

If the summon succeeds—

You don't have to report to me what showed up!

You can do whatever you want after it's summoned, too!

If anything, you can even consider coming after my life!

Please make sure to report to me.

And this has nothing to do with the job, but...

The wish granter that can make any wish come true...

What will you wish upon the Holy Grail?

I don't have any wishes.

I don't have a god to believe in or a homeland to return to.

All I desire are meals and good sleep each day.

I didn't expect the favorite...

that you kept talking about to be a boy like him.

Oh, right. He looks like a boy because they fiddled

with his body too much when he was young.

He probably can't live that long a life.

Though, he's not the type to worry about stuff like that.

Is that the reason why you didn't prepare a catalyst for him?

I had a lightbulb moment.

If I made a fake Holy Grail choose a Servant for someone who has nothing...

what exactly...

would be drawn to it?

For the elements, silver and iron.

For the foundation, stone and the Archduke of Contracts.

That's why I want you, who doesn't have anything!

No desires for the world, no intention of leaving anything behind!

With someone like you, the Holy Grail can enter a plain state.

Just what will...

come to you?

Come forth from the circle of binding...

Guardian of the Scales!

So, you're a Master of the Holy Grail War?

Hah!

How this face lacks ambition.

I am indeed the Master who summoned you.

You can call me "Captain."

But that will soon become meaningless.

Who exactly are you?

My boy, you have a misunderstanding.

We were not...

summoned by you.

Who are you?

We are nothing more than shadows of the Heroic Spirit you summoned.

We are not Heroic Spirits.

You're outta luck, man.

You can't escape now.

You have summoned a hardship that has no way out.

However...

we have high hopes for you.

That you will become a Lancer that pierces through all.

What do you mean?

Are you lot not the Lancer?

If Fuyuki's system was used as is,

Lancer would have been the one rightfully summoned.

Then, what in the world...

Let's see.

A guardian whose job is to always look down on us from a high place...

I guess you could say... "Watcher."

Hurry up already!

Now, whatcha gonna do?

Mr. Cordelion?

Bazdilot!

What are you doing to a member of the family?

A fly.

Wait—

If you thought you could infiltrate with a disguise like that...

that's a great insult to Mr. Scradio.

No way! Spies?

Come to the basement once you're done cleaning up.

I received a catalyst from the States.

I will summon a Servant.

Bazdilot Cordelion.

His public face is the president of an industrial waste disposal company.

His hidden side is a high-ranking member

of the Scradio Family, a huge mafia group...

that is very close to a portion of the government.

There are over 125 murders that he is suspected of involvement.

During his first incarceration,

three wardens and 26 inmates went missing in six months.

He painted the entire penitentiary into allies of the Scradio Family.

I am still against it.

Taking someone with so many enemies out of jail...

to weave him into the Holy Grail War.

You say that, but all the Masters I called are kinda similar, you know!

The Masters can all be controlled however we wish.

But...

you and Bazdilot Cordelion are a different story.

Hey, what do you think will happen?

I mean, he's trying to summon the great virtuous, unyielding hero...

Heracles!

Are you the one...

that will become my master and present me a labor?

The one who decides that isn't me. That's you.

And I shall ask you, as well.

O hero of Greece.

Can you take the life of a young child if it meant winning the war?

Are you...

testing me?

If you speak of such knowing my background...

I will deem those words as something you risk your life for.

Of course.

I have already...

thrown my life away long ago.

How facile.

Restraints from Command Spells are meaningless to me.

I order you with a Command Spell.

Drop your facade.

Bastard!

What did you...

I don't need a hero.

I need human obsession that uses any means necessary to meet an objective.

Impossible!

This is not a level of Magical Energy that someone of this era can harbor!

I further order you with another Command Spell.

Remember all the humans you have observed.

Stay away from me, monster!

Only when you're together with me, you won't be a monster.

Don't detest your own blood.

Father!

Wh-What's going on?

I further command you.

This Mage is dangerous!

I...

must stop him!

Accept the true nature of humans.

Was it really all right?

I mean, to hand him that thing you brought here from Fuyuki.

It's fine, it's fine!

I mean...

I didn't want to keep touching...

that uncute and nasty mud!

How does it feel to get rid of what is unnecessary?

Why do you hide your face?

Admonition.

So that the sins of man never reach my eyes again.

I ask you.

Are you my Servant?

My name is Alcides.

I will have my vengeance against the gods...

and using the power of the Holy Grail...

I will rid myself...

of my posthumous name!
