To say that Xavier was surprised would be putting it lightly; Out of all the Eldritch monstrosities one would expect a Demon Castle to transform into, a human-like being was on the bottom of such a list. [color=royalblue]"Is that... the Black-Haired Man?"[/color] Xavier muttered, remembering the discussions that had occurred earlier in the meeting - before the Demon Castle had shown up - regarding a third party that was interfering with the Holy Grail  War itself. It looked like that notorious third party was this pale-skinned man of long, raven hair. If Xavier actually knew the identity of that man. he'd probably feel even more shocked and confused right now, but alas a foreign magus like him had no way of recognizing the head of a 200-year-old Japanese family of mages based on outward appearances alone...

Who was this man? What was his goal? What motivated him? Could he even be called a man, or was he an existence more on par with an Undead or a Demon?

Xavier's analytical mind raced with those and many other similar questions - intriguing mysteries that he did not have the luxury to worry about right this moment. Because, if one thing was certain about this Black-Haired Man was that he was not to be messed with! The fact that he had willingly transformed probably meant that this current form of his - whilst a lot smaller than his golem form - was actually stronger, or at least more efficient and reliable for this particular battle. It was even evident by the ludicrous amount of magical energy that swirled around the being's fists - this was no ordinary man.

It was then that one of the other Servants - a small girl in traditional Eastern armor - made a formidable structure akin to a Fortress rise from the ground - presumably her Noble Phantasm - and beckoned all Masters to get in there for safety. [color=royalblue][i]"Hmmmm... That does look like a very effective way of keeping the Masters out of harm's way."[/i][/color] Xavier thought in his inside voice.

[color=a187be][i]"I suggest you get there with haste Master."[/i][/color] Caster communicated with him through their link. [color=a187be][i]"I shall watch your back. If this Black-Haired Man tries to attack you..."[/i][/color]

[color=royalblue][i]"Alright."[/i][/color] Xavier responded. And with that, the Arkwright magus started sprinting towards the Fortress summoned by the girl Servant, applying Reinforcement to his own legs so that he could hopefully get there faster.

What an undignified situation... The Holy Grail War had barely even started and Xavier Arkwright was already running away for his life. On the other hand, running away was a very effective way of avoiding death, so he couldn't complain.
