[h2][center]Kumozaki Keisuke[/center][/h2]
Once the last of the servants—Artoria Pendragon—had arrived to the room for the meeting and had settled down, the older man who had entered only moment prior cleared his throat. Keisuke, though still trying to make sure nothing important had been injured and that no bones had been dislodged (neither seemed to be the case), immediately snapped to attention once the lights in the room dimmed and a projection began to play on screen.

"All five of you are present, so let us begin this posthaste," the old man began, beginning to cycle through the slides on the screen as he spoke. "As all of you are likely aware of already, the revision of human history is something that will likely cause irreversible damage to our current timeline, and in order to prevent such a thing from occurring, you are present here today. This is the first of multiple 'singularities', as we have labeled them, and the first one we have discovered thus far. Your mission is simple: fine the 'Holy Grail' at the center of this distortion and return here with it in hand, while also making cure to correct any anomalies in your way.

Your first destination is 9th century Scandinavia, though given your coat I assume you are already aware of this fact. We are unsure of what is occurring on-site, but we have confirmed the signatures of multiple Servants already on-site. It is likely you will come into conflict with a few of them during your investigation, but I advise you to seek out allies, if possible.

For the sake of your assignment, though, we'll have a specialist monitoring you back here in the base. You should be able to communicate with that device you were given a day ago, Mr. Kumozaki, so please make sure you don't lose it. She should contact you once you arrive in the singularity itself, so please, do not be caught unaware. Her name is Meran Briefort Marzikek, and is a representative from Atlas Academy. If you need any information, do not hesitate to contact her.

That is all. You are free to proceed at your leisure."

With that short commentary out of the way, the lights in the room turned back on and the old man promptly left the room, leaving Keisuke alone with the other 4 Servants. There was a moment of awkward silence, and Keisuke coughed once before slowly getting to his feet and actually putting on his coat before beckoning the other Servants to follow him to the next room over.

The Kaleidoscope World Altar was a lot less grand than he had first expected it to be, but the Enforcer didn't mind the object itself as much as he did the giant portal in front of him. Witnessing the execution of the Second Magic in any form was a bit awe-inspiring despite the circumstances, but he knew it was no time to simply stand around continuing to gawk. There was a job to be done now, after all.

"I'm entering the portal now. Are we all clear?" he called out to whoever was monitoring the room before a light flashed green above his head. "Seems so. Well, then..."

And with that, Keisuke calmly proceeded ahead, a bit of sweat beginning to form on his brow as the rapidly-shifting landscape dragged him through to his destination.

The explanation of the whole ordeal wasn't anything new to the Archer, per se, but knowledge of their destination was certainly something she had not expected. Sadly, not being on familiar territory would be a little problematic—doubly so, actually, given that what knowledge the Grail had inserted into her head about the location in question. Snow impeded visibility, and though she was a Servant, something like a blizzard would still block her line of sight.

"Understood, Master. In that case, I shall follow," she stated, calmly following after Keisuke as he entered the portal.

It didn't take long for the portal to drop the two of them (and the others) off at their destination, which at the moment seemed like a pitch-black forest covered in snow. With a frown, Tomoe took a few steps forward, only for the sound of clashing metal to reach her ears.

"Master, there is an engagement up ahead. May I go ahead to scout?"

"Please do. Something seems off about this place already," Keisuke responded. With a nod, the Archer quickly dashed ahead, bow at the ready as she began to seek out the target.

Just as Keisuke was about to take any moves to follow her, though, the sound of shifting snow around him immediately caught his attention, and without a second thought the Enforcer drew his sword and parried an incoming blow. The sparks from the electricity coursing through his weapon gave him a momentary glimpse of the enemy—a zombie soldier, whose face, though bloodstained and torn, was preserved surprisingly well due to the snow.

"Hm. Where there's one of these, there are more," he muttered to himself before parrying the next blow and running his weapon straight through the zombie's head. The sound of shuffling and the crunching of snow was increasing in intensity, which meant that there was more to come.

"One of you three, back Tomoe up. All others, help me clean up this mess. With no visibility, I can't see these enemies unless they're right in front of me," he stated, adopting another parrying stance as he waited for the next enemy to come.

Of course, lighting a tree on fire would be an option, but that might only serve to draw unnecessary attention to them instead...

Tomoe, on the other hand, was rapidly running through the woods, firing arrow after arrow at any zombie that had sprung up at her flanks. The density of the enemy seemed to increase the closer she got to the noise, but that only made her more certain that this was her intended destination.

It was only a matter of time, though, before she came across a wall of blue flames that seemed to extend around past her field of vision. Without a second thought, the Archer bounded up a nearby tree to examine the source.

One solitary warrior was clashing arms with a pale-haired maiden wielding a lance, and though the blue flames flickered around and caused the shadows to shift, the Archer was able to tell at a glance that the black markings encroaching upon the woman's left arm meant something far more dangerous than a simple decoration or even a Noble Phantasm. The feelings that the two of them gave off were also unmistakably those of Servants, which meant that this matter was of the utmost importance regardless of that fact.

Of course, interfering now without ascertaining the situation would be as foolhardy an action as any, so instead Tomoe prepared an arrow and readied herself to fire at a moment's notice before relaying the information to Keisuke and, by extension, the other Servants of the group.

[i]"The warrior is being pushed back ever so slowly, but it looks as if he has been worn down considerably. I shall prepare to engage once reinforcements arrive,"[/i] she said, calmly standing by and waiting for a chance to strike.
