Last time on Fate/Sunset.

Servant and Master sat down to discuss the current situation, both parties seem to be able to get along.

But only for a time until Sunset can find a way out of this mess.

If only it was that easy young unicorn.

Let’s see what the two will do now during the day with no fear of servants.

In Fate/Sunset!

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mid-morning day for the city of Canterlot city was a busy time around this time of year. With Christmas nearing close and the snow falling, even more, the streets were lined with people out shopping and working to get the roads cleared up for the shoppers to do their shopping.

And in the middle of all this bustling activity was Sunset who was trying to avoid the crowd as she made her way towards the one place she dreaded most of all…

School.

“This is pathetic,” Sunset muttered as she tightened her new jacked closer to herself. Happy to have something warmer than her old leather jacket. Even if it was gained in a less than legal way.

But her servant’s sticky fingers aside, she was happy to have a pair of flannel lined jeans to keep her legs warm and a pair of snow boots to allow her to travel easier, a new leather jacket with fur lining and a red scarf to finish it all off.

“You look upset,” her servant sang as she walked by Sunset with a coy smile. Unlike the clueless master the servant of the bow barely changed her look, only switching out her mantle for a black jacket and a red scarf, she even still had her hat on!

“I think anyone would be in my situation,” muttered the sun themed girl as she marched her way through the town to get to the nearest bus stop to get school, hopefully, no one would be there and she could get to the portal with no trouble, and if that miracle happened she then could beg for Princess Twilight’s help to get her out of this mess.... Also to ask if she could stay in Equestria.

She was honestly sick of the human world.

Though it might be hard with her servant acting like a child!

“Come on~!” Archer cried as she was starting to gain a crowd with her whining. “We should be getting ready for tonight! If we don’t get the things that are needed we might not make it through the night with your inexperience.”

“Inexperience?” one adult asked while muttering to another person while other civilians started wondering out loud what the two girls were talking about.

Blushing in embarrassment, Sunset grabbed her servant’s hand and rushed towards the bus stop while ignoring the muttering she heard.

“Can you stop whining!” Hissed out the teen as she sent a glare towards Nobunaga, who simply smiled towards her angered master. “I want to get this all over with!”

“And I told you, master that’s not happening,” the former uniter of Japan said with a grin. “I don’t know what you have planned but you can’t get out of the Grail War easily.”

“You say that,” Sunset mocked a little as a steely look appeared in her eyes. “But you don’t know what I can do when I’m determined enough.”

‘When you're not being a coward that is,’ a voice echoed inside her head causing her to nearly gasping out as she looked around for the voice. This caused Archer to look at her master, who was slightly curious as they walked down towards the bus stop.

“Who said that?” Sunset muttered as she kept looking around. ‘And what did they mean about being a coward?’

‘It means exactly what I said’ the voice said in a mocking laugh that felt like drums were going off in her head, causing her to nearly trip over herself, lucky Archer was able to grab her and start to lead the young teen the rest of the way.

Taking a few shallow breaths, Sunset thought. ‘Are you… inside my head? Is this a Servant’s doing?’

‘If only if you were that fortunate,’ the voice giggled as it started to fade from her mind. ‘But sadly, it’s your fault that you're dealing with me.’

‘What does that mean?’ Sunset thought as she only heard the fading laughter mocking her as it left her mind. “What does that mean, dammit!”

“Master,” Archer’s voice rang out, snapping Sunset out of her anger-induced rant. “As fun as it is to watch your little freakout, I’d rather not deal with an insane hobo for a master.”

Shaking her head, the young teen glared at Nobunaga as they made it to the bus stop. “I’m not a hobo!”

“But not going to deny the insane part?” Archer said with a smirk that caused Sunset to grumble as they waited for the bus.

“Honestly at this point, I wouldn’t be surprised if I was,” Sunset muttered as the bus came to a stop in front of them. Getting on the two girls found a seat and waited for the small ride.

“So master,” Archer began but was stopped by Sunset who let out a sigh.

“Just call me Sunset,” the teen muttered as she hoped no one else on the bus was listening in. “at least when we’re in public.”

Smiling at her, Archer continued. “Very well Sunset, anyways I was wondering what you’re going to do when this little plan of yours fails and you have to fight?”

Letting out a huff of air, Sunset closed her eyes and said, “There’ll be no fighting because I’m not going to stay in this war.”

“And you think it’s that easy?” Archer asked with a raised brow. “Fate always finds a way to get what it wants.”

This silenced Sunset as she thought back to all the times she tried to change her fate. Trying to become a princess through hard work only to find out she was not fated for it, because she lacked the ability to make friends, or trying to become on by stealing power that wasn’t hers.

‘And even trying to turn a new leaf has done nothing,’ Sunset thought as her attempts to make up for what she did resulted in someone easily taking away all she worked for and for her friends to leave her.

‘She’s doing it again,’ Nobunaga thought as she looked towards her master as an almost visible aura of depression hovered around her. The servant of the bow saw her like this while she slept. Crying and begging in her sleep. Wanting to be forgiven for something she must have done. What that thing was Archer didn’t know but she was sure to find out if it kept her master from winning the war.

‘And if need be, I could always get rid of the problem,’ Archer thought as she went back to how she would deal with problems back in her past life. If the soldier in her command was too valuable to lose, Nobunaga would “take care” of whatever was ailing them.

As the Archer class servant, who was planning on keeping her master in top fighting condition, said master’s attention was being drawn towards an elderly man in a brown coat and two mismatched winter gloves grumbling as he read the newspaper.

The old man frowned which exposed a long caning that stuck out of his mouth and sighed as he placed aside the newspaper to the side near Sunset and muttered while ruffling his white hair with a black streak. “What is happening to this town?”

Curiosity took hold as Sunset grabbed the newspaper and went through the article. Flipping through the pages (while ignoring the sad pang in her chest at the memories of looking through the funnies with Pinkie.) and wondered what was such bad news. She was almost about to put it down in frustration until one headline stopped her in her tracks.

Reading as if possessed by an unearthly vigor, Sunset would re-read the same article over and over, each time her eyes would grow wider as her hands would tighten to nearly ripping the news covered paper in pure panic.

“Hm?” Nobunaga hummed out as she saw her master’s behavior. “Are you ok? Did you lose the lottery?”

But Archer’s joking did not reach her master as the girl shot up and pulled the cable to have the bus park near the neighborhood where Canterlot High was located.

“Miss you do know the next stop is passed here right?” the annoyed bus driver drawled out. But his annoyance didn’t matter as Sunset rushed out of the bus with a confused Nobunaga following behind her.

Letting out an annoyed sigh, the bus driver let the two ladies leave as he started up the bus and continued on his regular course.

All the while the same old man smiled as he picked up his crumpled newspaper and straightened it up as he started to read the funnies with a small jolly hum.

All the while, the headlines that got Sunset so worked up were displayed for all to see.

Murder near Canterlot high!!!

Mutilated corpse found near the apartment of the victim, is this the second coming of Jack the Ripper?

Victim was one Derpy Hooves.
