### Act 1

Shuichi is unwittingly inducted into the Holy Grail War when he is chosen by the Grail to be the Master of Saber. Shuichi and Saber get to know each other as they must fight against Rider while hunting for the perpetrator of bizarre and gruesome deaths. The case leads them into a run in with Keith and Lancer, who they join forces with to combat Gaku Yashiro and Caster.

### Act 2

Shuichi, Saber, Keith and Lancer investigate the shady dealings and practices of Yagiri Pharmacuticals connected to the War, while Archer sets his plans for the Grail in motion and Rider steps up his game in pursuit of his rivalry with Saber. Archer recruits Rider to deploy machines at Ley Lines to harvest energy in exchange for an army of drones. Rider engages in battles with Saber and the rest of the team using his newly acquired drone army, staging a series of relentless attacks to force them out and wear them down. This culminates in Shuichi being abducted and becoming a hostage Rider uses to goad her into a duel to settle their score.

### Act 3

Saber has her final battle with Rider as Keith and Lancer save Shuichi. Archer begins to siphon the energy of the Grail to restore Cybertron and terraform Earth into a colony world for the Decepticon empire to exploit, which Shuichi and the team must stop before it's too late.
