A true sequel, officially called Fate: Stay Nightmare, tells the story of the Fifth Holy Grail War and of the [[EvilPlan machinations]] of the Grail to be truly reborn. And this time, it has every intentions of doing so, going so far as to summon '''[[UpToEleven 15]]''' Servants to the battlefield. It can be found [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/10658926/1/Fate-Stay-Nightmare here.]]

** Both [[spoiler: Fake!]]Assassin and Avenger pull this off one after another against Berserker. [[spoiler: Of course, Avenger's reasons were far more [[OnlyICanKillHim personal]] towards Saber]].

** The lengths each goes to is different however. Rider obviously calls her out on it and stomps on her beliefs. Avenger and Lancer are on his side, but they don't take their words to that extreme. Assassin seems more neutral than anything else. Berserker, Caster and [[spoiler: Soul]] ''do'' appreciate the meaning behind it, but they feel that her method just isn't the right way to go about it.
** In fact, the last two actually come to Saber's side when Rider accuses her of being unworthy of kingship, smashing their fists on the table to interupt him and with [[spoiler: Soul]] [[TranquilFury calmly]] telling Rider to stop it.
