History FanFic / FateStayNightUltimateMaster

The fic is chronologically set after the event of season 1 from the ''Ultimate Alien'' perspective, but in an AlternateTimeline of the Fifth Holy Grail War from the ''Fate Stay Night'' perspective. It starts with [[Franchise/{{Ben 10}} Ben Tennyson]] being sent in Japan by the Plumbers to investigate on [[LightNovel/FateZero the murders and "Gas leaks" that took place during the Great Fuyuki Fire]]. As he is visiting Fuyuki City, he ends up attacked by Lancer, then looking for souls to feed on. However, as a result of both a latent source of {{Mana}} he got from his Anodite blood and a mysterious manipulation of the rules by an unknown source, Ben ends up being selected as an Eighth Master, with a female [[VisualNovel/FateHollowAtaraxia Avenger]] (strongly hinted to be [[spoiler:UsefulNotes/JoanOfArc]]) as his Servant. Though initially disturbed, he decides to stay in order to ensure the Grail won't fail in wrong hands.

* AdaptationalBadass: Avenger, both as a class and as a character; As a class, the Hollow Ataraxia Avenger was the weakest of the Servants, while this one can go toe to toe with Saber in a fight. As a character, [[spoiler:the UsefulNotes/JoanOfArc from LightNovel/FateApocrypha can't use her Noble Phantasm without killing herself, while this one can.]]

* OvershadowedByAwesome: InUniverse example; Avenger clearly is a powerful Servant, able to stand of her own against Saber, but her Master's unusual ability to shapeshift tend to cause everybody to be more concerned about Ben than her. Lampshaded by Archer.

As he is visiting Fuyuki City, he ends up attacked by Lancer, then looking for souls to feed on. However, as a result of both a latent source of {{Mana}} he got from his Adonyte blood and a mysterious manipulation of the rules by an unknown source, Ben ends up being selected as a Eighth Master, with a female [[VisualNovel/FateHollowAtaraxia Avenger]] (strongly hinted to be [[spoiler:UsefulNotes/JoanOfArc]]) as his Servant. Though initially disturbed, he decides to stay in order to ensure the Grail won't fail in wrong hands.

* NotSoDifferent: Ben and Shirou are much alike in many ways; both are in the war solely to ensure the Grail doesn't fall into the wrong hands, both have a huge ChronicHeroSyndrome, and even their Servants are a lot similar both physically and mentally. Rin actually lampshades it.
** The similarities become even more blatant when the two actually get to talk together:
--->'''Ben''' (sighs): "Magic. I was never good at dealing with magic"
--->'''Shirou''': Heh, me neither.

* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: The fanfic avoids directly involving sex scenes like one of its original materials, but there are still elements included:
** Shinji does rape Sakura at one point, but the scene is turned into a RapeDiscretionShot. [[NothingIsScarier This actually makes it creepier]], especially with Zouken's indifference to it happening.
** Kevin asks for [=DVDs=] of "Japanese cartoons" from Ben. When reading the titles on the list, Ben is immediately sure that said "cartoons" aren't suitable for kids...
** It's mentioned that Bazett had been considering "recharging" Lancer's mana. Everyone familiar with ''Fate/Stay Night'' knows what that means...

* AdaptationalVillainy: A minor example with Caster's original Master. In the source material, few details are given about him, but the reason Caster killed him for the first place apparently was due to him disrespecting her and constantly trying to humiliate her. In this version, he apparently tried to use his Command Spells to ''rape'' her. This could be a case of UnreliableNarrator, seeing how [[PlayingTheVictimCard Caster is the one narrating the tale]], but the canon established that Heroic Spirits cannot lie, so there has to be some truth in it.

* ShowTheirWork: Ben's dream of Avenger's past includes mention of actual historical places in France that [[spoiler:were important in Joan of Arc's backstory]].

* GoodVsGood: Ben and Avenger clashes several times with either Rin and Archer, Shirou and Saber, or both at the same time. [[spoiler:According to Paradox though, Shirou and Ben will team up eventually.]]

** Also, Saber vs Avenger. If the hints about Avenger's identity are true, then this is [[spoiler:[[GenderFlip female]] Myth/KingArthur vs UsefulNotes/JoanOfArc]].

The fic can be found [[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6781336/1/FateStay-Night-Ultimate-Master here]]. Six chapters have been published as of October 11, 2013, pretty much marking this as a DeadFic.

* [[DontCallMeSir Don't Call Me "Master"]]: Unsurprisingly, Ben is rather uncomfortable with Avenger referring to him as "Master", and frequently asks her to just call him by his first name.

** To an extent, Ultimate Cannonbolt too; despite being one of the strongest aliens, he barely succeeds in hurting Berserker, and the little damage he does cause is instantly healed, much to Ben's dismay.
* YouCalledMeXItMustBeSerious: Due to Ben's [[DontCallMeSir insistence]], Avenger usually refers to him by his first name. She however revert back to calling him "Master" whenever she is trying to have a serious talk with him or if the situation is particularly bad.

* BodyguardingABadass: This essentially sums up Avenger's position toward Ben. Avenger ''is'' powerful of her own, but Ben definitely is capable of defending himself of his own, and the versatility of his power makes him much more of a threat than her. Played with in later chapters, where some characters actually manage to hurt him and he is forced to call for her help.

The fic can be found [[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6781336/1/FateStay-Night-Ultimate-Master here]]. Five chapters have been published so far, with the fifth being released on October 11, 2013 after a long hiatus.

* AwesomeByAnalysis: After only two fights against Ben, Archer is able to find out his weakness, and even actually succeeds in hurting him. In ''Humongousaur'' form.

** As usual, putting civilians in danger in front of [[BewareTheNiceOnes Ben]] ''always'' is a bad idea.

* BloodlessCarnage: Averted; Ben's alien forms get more realistic injuries, often leading to AlienBlood. When Archer manages to hurt him as Humongousaur, he is described as missing an entire portion of his shoulder.

* BoringInvincibleHero: Subverted; Ben technically overpowers pretty much everyone in the War other than possibly Gilgamesh, and everyone is aware of this, resulting in him being seen as the biggest threat. However, this is balanced by both his usual [[PhlebotinumBreakdown Ultimatrix glitches]] and his reluctance to kill both civilians and other Masters, while his opponents make up for it by acting much more [[CombatPragmatism pragmatic]] and [[BatmanGambit smarter]].

** At the beginning of the first chapter, Ben, while arriving to the city, read his report on the event at Fuyuki City, including a list of all Masters in LightNovel/FateZero and the various way their bodies were found (or, in Waver's case, not found.)

** Also, Saber vs Avenger. If the hints about Avenger's identity are true, then this is [[spoiler:[[GenderFlip female]] KingArthur vs UsefulNotes/JoanOfArc.]]

* [[DontCallMeSir Don't Call Me Master]]: Unsurprisingly, Ben is rather uncomfortable with Avenger referring to him as "Master", and frequently asks her to just call him by his first name.

* {{Expy}}: In-universe, Avenger is one of Saber, sharing both a similar look, fighting style and part of her personality. Justified, since [[spoiler:her true identity is UsefulNotes/JoanOfArc, who is indeed an IdenticalStranger to Saber in the actual support. Plus, Ben being similar to Shirou in many ways, her acting with him like Saber does toward Shirou is logical.]]
* {{Fangirl}}: Ilya turns out to be this to Ben; she takes as much pleasure in fighting him as in seeing him transform during their fight.

* FrenchJerk: Averted; [[spoiler:Avenger is french, but a pretty nice person]].

* GoodIsNotDumb: While he can act a bit naive compared to other Masters on occasion, due to being new to the Grail War, Ben mostly is portrayed in this fic as fairly intelligent when the situation calls for it (in contrast to his [[WesternAnimation/Ben10Omniverse later portrayal]]). He keeps an eye on the Servants' stats regularly, usually picks the right form for each situation (though glitches occasionally make him take a different form than he intends to take), suspects the Holy Grail might be a JerkassGenie and generally knows how to take advantage of his experience.

* BadassInANiceSuit: Avenger's civilian attire is similar to Saber's in LightNovel/FateZero, only with reversed colors (black blouse with white pants and jacket) and CoolShades.
** [[spoiler: Bazett, after she is resurrected by Paradox.]]

* ManipulativeBitch: Caster is shaping up to be one.

** Caster has one when [[spoiler:she sees Ilya offering an alliance to Ben.]]

* ShowTheirWork: Ben's dream of Avenger's past includes mention of actual historical places in France that [[spoiler:were important in Joan of Arc's backstory.]]

** Later, Avenger herself calls out Saber for tolerating [[AntiHero Archer]]'s [[CombatPragmatism methods]]:

--->'''Avenger''': "[[ReasonYouSuckSpeech Then you are a coward for hiding behind that reason!]]"

** Also, Saber vs Avenger. If the hints about Avenger's identity are true, then this is [[spoiler:[[GenderFlip female]] KingArthur vs JoanOfArc.]]

** Avenger's identity. The author hasn't revealed it in the story yet, but there are more than enough clues to say for sure she is [[spoiler:JoanOfArc]].

* {{Expy}}: In-universe, Avenger is one of Saber, sharing both a similar look, fighting style and part of her personality. Justified, since [[spoiler:her true identity is JoanOfArc, who is indeed an IdenticalStranger to Saber in the actual support. Plus, Ben being similar to Shirou in many ways, her acting with him like Saber does toward Shirou is logical.]]

* JeanneDArchetype: Both Saber and Avenger. [[spoiler:It's strongly implied that Avenger actually is [[JoanOfArc the Trope Namer herself]].]]

* YouCalledMeXItMustBeSerious: Due to Ben's [[DontCallMeSir insistence]], Avenger usually refers to him by his first name. She however revert back to calling him "Master" whenever she is trying to have a serious talk with him or if the situation is particularly serious.

Played with in later chapters, where some characters actually manage to hurt him and he is forced to call for her help. Eventually, she becomes GenreSavvy enough to adapt and convince him to train into coordinating themselves in fights.

* ChronicHeroSyndrome: Shirou and Ben, as usual. In Ben's case, most characters quickly get GenreSavvy enough to attempt to take advantage on it.

* GoodIsNotDumb: While he can act a bit naive compared to other Masters on occasion, due to being new to the Grail War, Ben mostly is portrayed in this fic as very GenreSavvy and fairly intelligent when the situation calls for it (in contrast to his [[WesternAnimation/Ben10Omniverse later portrayal]]). He keeps an eye on the Servants' stats regularly, usually picks the right form for each situation (though glitches occasionally make him take a different form than he intends to take), suspects the Holy Grail might be a JerkassGenie and generally knows how to take advantage of his experience.

* YouAndWhatArmy: Ben delivers this line to Caster. Cue her laughing and summoning her skeleton mooks. [[GenreSavvy Ben chastises himself]] [[TemptingFate for jinxing himself]].

->'''Saber''': Just [[VoluntaryShapeshifting what manner of creature]] is [[Franchise/{{Ben 10}} your Master]]?\\
'''Avenger''': [[KidHero A hero in the making]].

'''Fate Stay Night: Ultimate Master''' is a CrossOver {{Fanfic}} between ''VisualNovel/FateStayNight'' and ''WesternAnimation/Ben10UltimateAlien'' written by Ten-Faced Paladin.

* OutsideContextHero: The main reason Ben becomes a big deal when he enters the Holy Grail War; A eighth Master was a surprise already to the other participants, but very few expected a kid capable of shapeshifting into super-powered aliens.

* OhCrap: Lancer's reaction to Avenger being summoned as Ben's Servant.

* ThouShaltNotKill: Ben is still recovering from his guilt about [[Ben10UltimateAlien almost killing Kevin at the end of season 1]], and as a result is ''extremely'' reluctant to rely on lethal methods, even in the Holy Grail War. He does compromise with the Servants, considering that since they are doomed to disappear anyway and are aware of the consequences, but he still refuses to kill the Masters. Of course, everyone around him other than [[WideEyedIdealist Shirou]] find this reasoning foolish and naïve.

* BodyguardingABadass: This essentially sums up Avenger's position toward Ben. Avenger ''is'' powerful of her own, but Ben definitely is capable of defending himself of his own, and the versatility of his power makes him much more of a treath than her. Played with in later chapters, where some characters actually manage to hurt him and he is forced to call for her help. Eventually, she becomes GenreSavvy enough to adapt and convince him to train into coordinating themselves in fights.

* BeamOWar: [[spoiler:subverted; Avenger and Saber try to use their respective Noble Phantasms against each other, but Gilgamesh stops them by unleashing Ea, leaving both of them injured.]]

* CombatPragmatism: both Archer and True Assassin use this against Ben. Notably, they are those who come the closest to killing him because of it so far.

** Rin mentions [[CarnivalPhantasm not being good with computers and machines]].

* [[DontCallMeSir Don't Call Me Master]]: Unsurprisingly, Ben is rather unconfortable with Avenger referring to him as "Master", and frequently asks her to just call him by his first name.

* HalfHumanHybrid: while he still lacks actual Anodyte powers, it's revealed that being 1/4 Anodite still gave Ben a natural source of {{Mana}}, allowing him to provide Avenger with an acceptable amount of it.

* [[ActionGirl Hot Chick With A Sword]]: Saber and Avenger.

* JeanneDArchetype: both Saber and Avenger. [[spoiler:It's strongly implied that Avenger actually is [[JoanOfArc the Trope Namer herself]].]]
