PHASE 00: A new task to fulfill in a strange new world.
"I guess it is finally over, Rin", the crimson Counter Guardian and former Archer class servant from the Fifth Holy Grail War spoke to his former master and the heiress of House Tohsaka after the corrupted Holy Grail is destroyed by Saber, King of the Knight, when his younger self had defeated Gilgamesh, King of the Hero, after Shirō Emiya mastered the use of his own Reality Marble, Unlimited Blade Works: Infinite Creation of Swords when Archer himself had survived long enough to deliver the finishing blow to Gilgamesh. "It is time for me to go but don't needed to worry, I am going to be fine when I am going to fight on and at least try to become a hero once more time and fulfilled my duties and responsibilities as a counter guardian."
"Archer...", Rin replied sadly. "Can't you stay with us..."
"As Counter Guardian with the contract with Alaya ( the World ), I am going to be summoned whenever a factor in the extinction of mankind is detected again", Archer...the Counter Guardian Emiya slightly shook his head. "Although I have no idea when and where I am going to be summoned again next time, I am no longer regret the path that I have chosen and walked upon till the end of time. However, please look after my younger self so that he is never going to commit the same mistakes I have, although I believe that my request is beyond logic in any means."
"I promise you, Archer", Rin replied in her strong resolve. "I never leave his side no matter what is going to happen!"
"Good to hear that", Archer replied with a gentle smile on his face. He clearly realized his little master during the Holy Grail War had fallen in love with his younger self after what they had been through together; although she never wanted and willing to admit to the fact at all. "Farewell my beloved master...I wish you and the people you care have a peaceful life from now on..."
After his final words to Rin, Archer vanished in shining light of rising sun and supposed to return to the Throne of Hero like other Heroic Spirits and Counter Guardians. In fact, due to his contract with Alaya ( the World ) and incorporated as part of humanity's Counter Force ( hence the name Counter Guardians or the Protectors of Balance ), he is going to summoned whenever a factor in the extinction of mankind is detected again. As the one who appear on the site of great disasters in order to eliminate the source of that disaster and all those involved, even if the target of elimination are humans themselves; they are not bounded by moral values such as good and evil, they exterminate guilty and innocent alike in order to protect those completely unrelated.
"...Please, help me..."
However, before the crimson Counter Guardian could return to the Throne of Heroes, he heard a painful but strong in resolve whisper from somewhere in the wind.
"...I don't care who ever answered my prayer is angel or devil, either the price I have to pay for in order to exchange a miracle..."
Archer listened to the whisper of the wind carefully when such words caught his attention.
"...Please protect those I hold dear beyond my own life so that they can be saved..."
"Here comes another fool prayed for the miracle for the sake of others instead of herself again", Archer thought to himself when recalled the actions of his younger self chosen to act during the Fifth Holy Grail War. In fact, he cannot approve of his younger self's idea of becoming a "Hero of Justice", but at the same time he cannot deny it as well as others who are willing to choose the same or similar paths!
In front of him, a dimensional gateway started to form and opened; showing a new world that Archer had never visited before either when he is still a mortal or Counter Guardian. It is a world of war and the place where the whisper is coming from.
"I guess I have a task to fulfill again before return to the Throne of Heroes", the Crimson Counter Guardian thought to himself when walked into the gateway before its disappeared from its location like it never existed in the beginning. "I wonder what kind of fools I am going to meet this time!"
Unknown to the Crimson Counter Guardian, the Goddess known as Fate is going to entrust him the duties that is far more than a regular job that given to a counter guardian to accomplish. Instead, it is something that our Crimson Knight had forgotten long time ago; something that could drive him like his younger self to overcome beyond the impossible!
In the dimension where the said whisper is come from, Earth has been invaded and is at war with aliens from another dimension called the Nova ( Different Dimension Form Nova ). In order to counter them, Pandoras and Limiters, genetically modified girls with super fighting skills and their male partners who use special "freezing" powers to limit their opponent's mobility, are created and trained to fight against the Nova.
Pandora is girls who have been genetically modified to be able to utilize Stigmata, which endow them with incredible speed and strength. They are capable of materializing their own unique weapons called Volt Weapons, made with a special material called Volt Texture when the said weapons are activated through their Stigmata. The Volt Texture heightens and improves a Pandora's senses such as hearing and eyesight, and allows them to make quick clothing changes or repair any damaged clothes. They also have the ability to regenerate lost limbs, though this shortens their lifespan due to rapid cell growth.
Limiter is the male partner of a Pandora, whose primary role is to neutralize the freezing field emitted by a Nova so that their Pandora may attack them. Limiters also have the secondary ability to generate their own Freezing field which can be used to restrain other targets, including low-level Novas. In order to use these abilities, Limiters must be implanted with one of their Pandora's stigmata, allowing them to synchronize their senses. In order to ensure better compatibility and synchronization between Limiters and Pandoras, a Limiter is always younger in age.
The combination of Pandora and the Limiter is currently the only answer for mankind to rebel the invasion of Nova, the unknown and mysterious enemy of mankind since it's appeared in the First Nova Clash.
Nova ( "Different Dimension Form Nova", Stylized as N.O.V.A.) is the inter-dimensional aliens invading Earth. Usually they have attacked Earth in intervals of around eight years, but the most recent attacks have been more frequent. Various types of NOVAs have been introduced since they appeared in the world when the most common for its types are R type ( a faceless humanoid giant creature launching projectiles as its major offense means besides the melee combat method with its powerful fists ) and S type ( Inhuman and bird like creature with a face of woman and beside used its tentacles for close quarter combat, it can fire powerful high energy beam capable to burn down the entire city in a few shoot ). They have the ability to "freeze" anything within its radius, as well as various weapons, and only by attacking the core (which must be exposed first) can they be defeated. Last but not least, the self-destruction of Nova in heavy populated location is in fact, nothing but a serious disaster to mankind during the war of survival from the aliens.
It is the time of the so-called Eighth Nova Clash when totally four units of S type Nova ( Command Unit ) appeared; followed by a number of their R type Nova ( Forefront Unit ) launched their total assault to the soil of Japan.
Due to the overwhelming power of Nova aggression, even the Chevalier ( organization oversees and managed Elite Pandoras and Limiters who serve under the military when its headquarter located at the Grand Canyon ) and the regular military defense combine force of United Nation Force, United States of America Air Force & Naval and Japan National Defense Force fell to prevent the invasion of Nova from further advanced when countless of soldiers, Pandoras and Limiters had been killed by the alien enemies during the short live battle of engagement.
Ultimately, after countless of sacrifice; Kazuha Aoi, the most powerful Pandora from mankind and creator of the High End Skills aimed for Pandora to enhance the combat performance and survival rate during the Mankind and Nova War, painfully kneed in front of the last surviving S type Nova after she is able to defeat the other three under the assistance from her companions, the most experience and skillful Maidens of Chaos the mankind could offer at the twilight hours.
However, no matter herself or her companions are at their limited when her companions are no longer capable to fight when Kazuha is actually the last line of defense for her companions against the still activated S type Nova.
Unlike other Pandoras that currently in actual service, Kazuha was special as much of her body was composed of Stigmata tissue, which allowed twenty units of stigmata to be inserted into her body and made her the most powerful Pandora at that time. However, during the battle of defeating the three S type Nova, her body is slowly consumed by them and is in the process of turning into a Nova Form; Pandora/Nova human hybrids as a result of a Pandora's Stigmata going berserk, infecting and turning its host into something that she had been fought against during her life as a Pandora. Furthermore, the pain from such process had torn her body and mind apart from inside when she found that she no longer able to move when the S type Nova in front of her is going to fire its high-powered energy beam…..
"...Please, help me..."
The once strongest Pandora in the world kneed down on the ground and prayed in her painful voice.
"...I don't care who ever answered my prayer is angel or devil, either the price I have to pay for in order to exchange a miracle..."
The Pandora that stood as the last line of survival or destruction of her companions during the Eighth Nova Clash continued her pray when her body is going to tear apart from inside when her humanity is losing to the instincts of Nova Form
"...Please protect those I hold dear beyond my own life so that they can be saved..."
The almost broken Pandora stood on her feet with whatever strength she had left as a human; never care the pain she had suffered and aimed to bring the last surviving S type Nova with her own life when the memories of her past loomed-to-the-horizon of her mind; the time she had been trained as a Pandora, the time she spent with her friends and companions, the time she spent with her younger brother and promised that she is going to return to him no matter what is going to happen...
However, before the S type Nova could fire its high energy beam to her, she heard a whisper from the wind; the words of strong resolve and determination could be heard even from far away...
"I am the bone of my sword"
Archer materialized the sleek black longbow out of the thin air when standing at the high ground in the war zone.
"Steel is my body and fire is my blood"
Followed by his words, Hrunting - Hound of the Red Plains appeared in his hand when he modified the legend weapon into an arrow; aimed to the unknown huge creature in front of the girl that prayed for a miracle to occur not for her own but those she held dear beyond her life and shot at it over five times in a row!
Being a Faker, Archer's hidden trump card is the individual skilled at creating imitations of objects through the use of tracing and projection of mental images to form tangible objects. Though Projection is normally ineffective at creating durable or powerful artifacts, Archer's unique approach to this craft enables him to materialize enormously powerful and accurate copies of the images recorded in his mind. He is capable of instantly recording all information and properties of weapon, and he can read into the history of the weapon to use any skills associated with it, though the rank of the weapon is lowered by one grade. He is also skilled in the basis of both Alteration and Tracing: Reinforcement; the art of temporarily strengthening the construction of objects through the understanding of their nature and perfection of defects in their structure. This is done through enhancing the fundamental proprieties of the target, such as the armor's resistance or the sharpness of a blade. Archer employs this method on himself to enhance his physical performance, particularly in his eyesight, granting him such precise vision that it approaches a limited form of clairvoyance. He is also in possession of a sleek black longbow, which is constructed from a synthetic compound that does not exist in the modern time period. It allows him to propel any weapon as an arrow, which would normally strain a weaker bow. The overcoat around his waist is a first rate conceptual armament made from the holy shroud of a saint; which opposes not enemies, but the external environment shields him from spiritual interference in his surroundings. His armor, breastplate, and boots are crafted from the special material as his sleek black longbow that has yet to be discovered by mankind, and the latter was constructed to be resistant enough to fire Noble Phantasms. He can also use powerful defensive technique called Rho Aias.
In addition, through the use of Alteration, he can modify a weapon to give it special properties, such as crafting Broken Phantasms, Noble Phantasms overloaded with magical energy that exponentially increases its attack power at the cost of destruction after use. All of his Projection abilities come from his Reality Marble, Unlimited Blade Works: Infinite Creation of Swords, which works similarly to his younger self during the previous Fifth Holy Grail War after he is able to master it, but manifests itself instead as a desert littered with swords with monolithic black gears rotating in the sky above.
Because Archer shapes copies of Noble Phantasms into arrows and charges them with prana, firing them at his opponent using his longbow as Broken Phantasms. On impact, the said tinny arrows exploded but generating overwhelming destructive power far greater than its size supposed to be. As a result, massive explosions occurred at the frontal armor of the said creature when the total damage is powerful enough to wipe out its most defenses frontal armor in five times in a row and revealed its core and at the same time, it is being pushed back away from the position of the said girl during the explosions.
"I have created over a thousand blades"
Archer created another mystical sword the Caladbolg II - The Fake Spiral Sword again when it is an A-rank Broken Phantasm and more powerful than the former one when compare to their power of devastation. Changing it into an arrow and overpowered it with prana as a Broken Phantoms again, he aimed and release it when it strike to the creature before it could counter, result as a more powerful explosion in front of the girl when this time, it is powerful enough to erase the entire Nova entity from its existence including its core and body together at the same time!
Followed the brighten light that erased the last S type Nova from its existence, Kazyha finally realized that her companions and most important, her younger brother Kazuya Aoi, is going to be safe from this Nova Clash when helplessly fell down to the ground on her knees again. However, seeing the Nova Blood, her weapon represented her status as Pandora had become one with her hand and arm, she knew that she is no longer able to return to the place once she called home and those she held dear when her time is running out for being a human and a Pandora. Kazyha decided to make her final defiant in her own means but the problem is she no longer able to move herself no matter how hard she is going to try when her humanity instincts are slowly and painfully taking over by the Nova's counterpart! It is at the same time she saw a man in crimson coat is standing in front of her; a man with short white hair and dark skin and showed no fear even she is under her current condition. Instead, he is like having an observation to something that he had never seen before!
Archer looked at the girl kneed in front of him in pain when her body and mind is being torn apart violently from her inside. Inhuman structures had been growth and attached to her body when she is being tore apart by something inside her alive, no matter it is her physical status or her mind of humanity, when both of them are being replaced by its counterpart as the painful process continued.
"...Please...kill...me..."
Using whatever will of the human's instincts she had left before they are going to disappear and replaced by the Nova's counterpart, Kazuha looked at the stranger in front of her.
Archer simply shook his head when the girl kneed in front of him asked for her own death for salvation instead of being rescued, although the crimson Counter Guardian clearly realized that she is in fact, too late to be saved before losing everything she had for being a human.
"...It is...too late for me to return to those I hold dear...", the fallen Pandora begged the stranger who showed no fear to her. "...Before I become the enemy that...my companions and I are fighting in our lives..."
"Unknown to Death, Nor known to Life"
The copy of crimson spear originally belonged to the Servant Lancer Cu Chulainn Blue Spearman of the Wind from the Fifth Grail War as his Noble Phantasms appeared in the hand of Archer, Gae Bolg, when he used the spear to pierce the heart of the girl in front of him; resulted as her painless death when Kazuha no longer felt the pain from the stigmata in berserk status as she is falling to the ground. Meanwhile, since the stigmata in berserk status are no longer supported from their living host, they broke apart from her body and fell to the ground like a piece of fragments as well as other inhuman structures once growth from the body of Kazuha; allowed herself to ultimate died as a human instead of in the Nova Form.
"Thank you..." It is the last word from the once strongest Pandora from mankind before she closed her eyes when Kazuha is completely fell to the world of darkness and Archer could see her face is smiling peacefully after she is able to return to her human form; a sight for the accomplishment whatever responsibilities she is being entrusted in her life. He found that she is a strong will girl and never willing to give up until her last breathe for the wellbeing of those she held dear ahead of her own needed and even her life; another fool in his point of view but he never able to approve liked his younger self's idea of becoming a "Hero of Justice", but at the same time he cannot deny it when she is willing to choose to walk upon her path without regret even during her final hours!
However, as Archer prepared to leave the former war zone before anyone from this world arrived and realized the existence of his; something unexpected by him suddenly happened when the brighten and shining golden light is released from a broken cargo near their location when something had relocated itself from its former location to the place where Archer and the girl's lifeless body are existed. Golden light is releasing from it when the holy light from the said object showered the lifeless girl when aimed to revive her before her soul is completely disappeared from the world! It is something that Archer had seemed countless of time during his life as a mortal as well as Counter Guardian; the most powerful Noble Phantasms that belonged to King of the Knight, Saber class Servant Arturia Pendragon...
...Avalon...the hallowed scabbard of Excalibur...
"Avalon the Ever distant Utopia and the hallowed scabbard of Excalibur" Archer narrowed his eyes when watching the embodiment of the utopia King Arthur or Arturia seeks and originally stolen from her shortly before the Battle of Camlann appeared in front of him and doing whatever it could to heal the lifeless girl in front of him and repaired whatever wounded she had suffered during the previous battles, including the final strike from Gae Bolg, with its mighty power. It is a luxurious piece of equipment made of gold and decorated with blue enamel that seems more like a treasure to show dignity and nobility like a crown or staff than a weapon. No one knows what kind of a divine mystery it is made from, but it was created by fairies along with Excalibur, an inscription written in Fairy Letters engraved on its center to show that it is not the work of man. It bequeaths limited immortality through constant regeneration, as well as preventing physical deterioration caused by aging.
Its abilities are potent enough to heal critical and fatal wounds rapidly and restore the wielder's health. It causes minor injuries to quickly heal, missing portions of the body and destroyed organs, including the heart, to be regenerated. It differs from other Noble Phantasms used by Servants, as it is the genuine artifact that was excavated in Cornwall at the request of the Einzbern shortly before the Fourth Holy Grail War in the other world when somehow, Archer actually had no idea for its present in here at this hours. It is still in pristine condition after one thousand five hundred years during its existence in this world when Archer suddenly found that something difference had occurred at the Avalon in front of him when compare to its counterparts in the other dimensional worlds; this Avalon had its own will as a living being when the saint spirit of it never allowed the girl in front of him met her ultimate fate in her life.
During its healing and recovery process to the fallen Pandora, Archer found that the saint spirit of Avalon in this world forcefully communicated with him, although the overcoat around his waist is a first rate conceptual armament made from the holy shroud of a saint that supposed to opposes and served as the external environment shields for him from spiritual interference in his surroundings. He further narrowed his eyes again after he heard the request from the Avalon's saint spirit when the fact showed that he had no intention to take up the task when it is never related to his duties as Counter Guardian in this world!
"….Please protects this girl from the harm of hidden evils in this world... ", a childish tone like a little girl is spoken to Archer from the Avalon.
"Negative, her wellbeing has nothing to do with my responsibilities as Counter Guardian in this world!" Archer replied without a second thought.
However, as he rejected the request from the saint spirit from the Avalon, he never expected the said saint spirit countered with not ten, not hundred but thousands of words, sentences and statements when bombardment him with the most ancient language only the fairies created the Avalon along with Excalibur can understand in the first place. Originally, Archer had no idea when is the saint spirit is talking about anyway but thanked to the undesirable assistance from the world when it provided the knowledge he need to fulfill the task after his arrival, he is able to understand her languages and meaning that totally beyond his imagination in the worst possible ways!
"Your Coward, how can you leave a defenseless girl in her current status like this?!"
"Your Fool, you called yourself a Guardian, although you are actually a Counter Guardian anyway; when you are going to leave her like this when she is never capable to defend herself when someone is going to take advantages of her under his or her own gained?!"
"This girl, fighting for whatever her got as a protector to mankind and wants nothing to gain for her own, should be rewarded with a period of peaceful rest during her recovery so that she can live as a human; even after she is no longer capable to fight like her former self during the previous battle!"
"You killed her under her final request to end her suffering once and for all as her salvation. As the one who's ended her life, you have the responsibilities to protect her during her recovery if you still value yourself as a man..."
"...Elder brother, you are the worst human that ever exist in this world!"
Archer had no idea how long he had been bombarded by all the complains from the troublesome saint spirit of Avalon in front of him when the said hallowed scabbard of Excalibur is shining in its golden light violently and had no means to stop when it is continued its healing process to the lifeless girl. Archer is indeed realized that it is going to take quite a long time for the girl laying in front of him to completely recover as a health person even with the present of Avalon inside her body; although it is only a long time for the point of view from mortal and to Counter Guardian like him, it is never a matter, since time is the best element he had in this world over the mortal and if spending part of his time to fulfill such unreasonable request could call off the action from the Avalon's saint spirit; he is willing to cooperation in order to prevent the ongoing conversation continued to the point that there is never an ending to it!
"Okay, I accepted the condition of yours and look after her during her recovery", Archer eventually decided to surrender wisely instead of letting the never ending bombardment to him from the saint spirit continued. "However, once she is able to look after herself when she is fully recovered from her wounds, she is going to have the life of her own when I am going to walk upon the path of mine and fulfill my duties assigned to in this world in separate ways!"
Like finally accepted the statement from the crimson Counter Guardian, the Avalon stopped shining violently and started to change into a golden sphere; then entered the body of the fallen Pandora when her eyes opened immediately before they are closed again when through the enhancement sight from his eyes, Archer could see that the Avalon is continuing its process to heal the girl that he never have a chance to know her name yet and he had a feeling that it is going to take some times for him to become the protector of this girl from the evils existed in this world when the saint spirit warned him ahead! For the girl, Archer could feel the life force is returning to her body when her soul is strengthened at the same time and started the process of recovery. He could also see the peaceful and gentle smile from her beautiful face when she is in a deep sleep.
However, before Archer could pick up the said sleeping princess and left the former war zone in his arm in order to relocate both of them to a safe location for her recovery, he founded that two unusual individuals are coming to his position in inhuman speed; showing both of them are never regular human beings when he heard the voices from them.
"Get your hand off Kazuha", Archer heard the statement from one of the girls that standing in front of him when he turned around when he could see a lance, known as Moon Wave, is being materialized and held by both her hands and aimed at him. "I don't care who are you but if you want to get your hand on her, you have to step over my dead body!"
Followed by her statement, another girl also activated her Volt Weapon, a pair of twin daggers known as Doppelganger, in her hands when she is readied to strike in any time with her companions, although it seemed that either of them is never in their best condition to fight; especially to an unknown opponent!
"So these girls are Pandora, the maidens of war for mankind's ultimate defense from the threats of Nova with their partners known as Limiters", Archer thought to himself when he recalled the knowledge given him from this world and looked at the two girls reminded him as Lancer and Rider/Assassin class Servant during the previous Fifth Holy Grail War standing in front of him with no fear. "Even they are no match with the inhuman abilities in terms of speed, strength and power of servants, they are still forbidden opponents in their own rights and for these two who are able to survive the previous battles when countless of their kinds and companions are killed by those strange creatures called Nova, they are considered to be the most elite ones from their kinds and I have to be careful and never take them lightly. Furthermore, so the girl being blessed and currently healed by the Avalon in this world is call Kazuha; sound like a suitable name to her!"
"Have withstood pain to create many weapons"
Archer spoke to himself when Kanshou and Bakuya; one of his most common weapons when he prefers to fight in close range, being created out of the thin area in order to conceal his trump card to his opponents and appeared in his both hands.
As his trump card, such measure allows him to match other Servants or even exceed them, is his Reality Marble: "Unlimited Blade Works". This Boundary Field can copy weapons that are seen only once, and store them within. In the Fifth Holy Grail War, the weapons stored had exceeded thousands. Counter Guardian Emiya can freely take out and utilize the weapons according to the situation, and he can also assault the enemy by firing numerous copies of Noble Phantasms from the Boundary Field the same way Gilgamesh, King of the Hero, uses "Gate of Babylon".
"Yet, those hands will never hold anything"
Archer launched himself to the position where the two Pandoras existed when Kanshou and Bakuya in his hands and prepared for a violence battle as he could feel the strong will to fight for and protected the wellbeing of their friend and companion from the two maidens of chaos.
Meanwhile, the Lancer like Pandora executed some kind of skills that greatly increased her speed four times faster than her actions once the hostile engagement occurred, allowing for quick evasive maneuvers and high-speed attacks when the Rider/Assassin like Pandora created four copies of her images included her truth self, then launched herself to the stranger when intended to attack him simultaneously from all angles.
Archer had no idea what kind of strange world when he is assigned here as a Counter Guardian when no clear objectives are given to him so far since his arrival.
However, immediately of his arrival he found himself fought against some kind of inter-dimensional creature addressed as Nova by the mankind.
As the aftermath from the said battle, he is forced to kill the maiden of war known as Pandora as her final salvation in order to prevent her from becomes the enemy of mankind.
Only she is being revived and healed by the Avalon existed in this world when instead of just a powerful Noble Phantasms, the hallowed scabbard of Excalibur's saint spirit somehow had a troublesome and stubborn personal will that he never able to expect.
As a result, being forced to accept her request to protect the Pandora known as Kazuha before she can completely recovered her wounds from the previous battle when she is healed by the Avalon currently inside her body as a mystical fixed weapon device.
Last but not least, not to mention he had to fight against the companions of Kazuha and the organization she used to work for known as Chevalier in order to ensure she is well-protected from those who are going to take advantage of herself from her current condition.
On the other hand, the companions of Kazuha believe that Archer, a totally hostile stranger in their point of view, is going to harm their friend and companion for unknown reason and intended to rescue her from him.
It is because from his spiritual conversation with the saint spirit from Avalon, she never trusted the seemed-to-be perfect organization served as the sole protector of mankind from the threats of Nova and responsible for training and managed all the Pandora and Limiter served in its military force in worldwide scale when something fishy is there; especially the hidden truth from the public behind the First Nova Clash and it took whatever means, either legal or otherwise, to safeguard its political and absolute position in the world without any restriction!
However, all of these thoughts are never critical to Archer's consideration at this moment after he had witnessed the actions from his younger self during the previous Fifth Holy Grail War.
Furthermore, how the Pandora known as Kazuha continued to fight on and never willing to give up her idea depressed that she was being tore apart alive and never able to survive from the previous battle; she never regretted the path she had chosen and walked upon in order to protect those she held dear beyond her own.
Archer believe that maybe this time instead of just fighting as a Counter Guardian, he is going to fight as a hero in the way he used to believe in order to protect those who needed at the twilight hours; those who cannot protect themselves no matter how far they are willing to go Not Only for the sake of others but his own idea and believe as well.
A resolve for being to live and died as a truth hero when he never regretted the path he walked upon!
A lesson taught by his younger self during the Fifth Grail War!
An answer to the prayer from Kazuha; the maiden of war whose recklessly put her life on the line of duties and never regretted the path she chose to walk upon even meeting her ultimate fate during the previous battle!
"So as I pray, unlimited blade works".

Ending BGM: Disillusion Lyrics
The shadows of that day
That I saw in my dreams
My cry could not reach them
No matter how I depict
The me of tomorrow
I am drenched in wishes that won't disappear
The scattered fragments
Catch them with those hands
Hold my swaying heart
And leap toward the night
Even though I depend on someone
There is nothing else that I wish for
My true self is right here
Don't close your eyes
Blown about in the wind
Like discarded junk
That nostalgic smile
No matter how I pray
For the me of tomorrow
Those answers going toward the distance still fade away
This frozen body and
Flake of feeling
Before they rot away
Leap past the night
Even though I depend on someone
There is nothing else that I wish for
My true self is right here
Don't close your eyes
To live for the sake of someone
This moment may count for everything
Gently cast aside your fake self
And just be who you are
PHASE 01: Revive of Golden Hope.
