“-Hey, have you finished talking?” A song-like voice echoes from behind me. It definitely belongs to a young girl.

I instantly turn around, and my vision is drawn towards the top of the hill. The moon seems to have come out from behind the clouds, so I could see what was there clearly.

-There

A long shadow. Something that shouldn’t be there is there, against the background of the city.

Tohsaka mumbles something that I couldn’t hear. Actually it was more like it didn’t register. I can tell even without her telling me that this…thing is a Servant. It towers above me by several feet, with arms the size of my whole body. That thing could kill me easily, it wouldn’t even break a sweat.

…Something is nagging at me though. That thing looks familiar…why is that?

“Good evening, Onii-chan. This is the second time we’ve met like this,” the angelic voice of the young girl sings with a smile while at the tower’s base.

The innocence in that voice sends a chill down my spine.

“-Crap, he’s on an entirely different level.” Tohsaka says beside me.

“Than you realize it after all, Rin. Nothing you two have summoned can match what I’ve summoned. My Berserker is the strongest hero of ancient Greece.

…Strongest hero of Greece? It can’t be…

“W-What? He can’t be…” Tohsaka says in amazement, apparently having drawn the same conclusion I have.

“Mmm. He’s Hercules.”

…Now I know why he seemed so familiar. I’d seen him many times from the various American TV channels I occasionally (ok, regularly) surfed. I think my brain blocked the obviousness of that guy because the truth didn’t, no, couldn’t make sense.

But than again, now that I think of it, what Tohsaka explained to me earlier about Servants makes this situation make sense. If Servants are heroes from legends of the past, than if enough people hold the same vision of what that epic hero would look like, that would be what they should appear as.

…Judging by that conclusion, Saber would probably be Joan of Arc, but that’s beside the point.

The point is, I was looking at the Hercules that was also known as Kevin Sorbo.

... GENIUS!

GENIUS, I SAY! You sir, deserve your own religion!

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT

[Kratosirving]

Heheheheheh, you can all thank ItsaRandomUsername for mentioning the good man and reminding me that I had this on my comp and hadn't posted it yet. I'll post my other shorts here shortly!

[ItsaRandomUsername]

Hell yeah! The Idea Gremlins, I Luv to spreadz em.

*manly chest flexing ensues*

[Theocrass]

IRUn-dono!

I am not worthy!

*Bows*

[Spooky]

This... should be good. I've been waiting for something like this since Elf mentioned her Hercules spoke with Sorbo's voice.

[Kratosirving]

Well, that's all there is. I never meant to go any further than this, it was just a wacky one shot idea that hit me when I was watching my Season 1 set of Hercules: The Legendary Adventures.

[Spooky]

Nooooooooooooooo *trails off*

[Kieran]

Can we somehow bribe you into doing more?

[Kratosirving]

...If Elf will promise to do more Fairy Tale, I guess I can... /evilsmirk

…Judging by that conclusion, Saber would probably be Joan of Arc, but that’s beside the point.

It's funny, back when I first watched the F/SN anime I had been able to get the game to work so my knowledge was limited. I initially assumed that Saber was really Joan.

[Kratosirving]

Personally I think it's everyone's first assumption until they find out Saber has Excalibur, than they go WTF KING ARTHUR?!?

[ItsaRandomUsername]

^
That was SO me.

[FlameStrike]

Hell, even Zero Caster had that exact same reaction! Except he was so stubborn he wouldn't accept the fact he was wrong even with Excalibur lighting up his soul.
