Chapter 0: Prologue to Battle
It is august 29, 2013. Ten years has passed since the start of the fourth holy grail war, a battle royale that takes place in the city of Fuyuki every 60 years or so. On the final night of the fourth war, a man named Kiritsugu Emiya had obtained the grail, to answer his wishes. His desire and wish was humankind's salvation and for that wish, he participated in the holy grail war to make his ideal utopia come to light. However, once the man obtained the grail, he was shown a cold truth that he did not want. He was shown that the only true way to save mankind is by destroying it entirely. Kiritsugu then, rejected the holy grail and saw that it was plagued with darkness. To that end, he commanded his servant to destroy it for good, but the result of his actions were disastrous. A fire had broke out from the dark contents of the grail, which claimed the lives of hundreds or dozens more except for one. One boy was on the verge of death from the chaos that ensued. He had lost his family in the blaze and all of his human emotions had been lost as well. As he was about to accept his fate, Kiritsugu appeared before him with tears in his eyes, happy that he was able to find someone. He was happy that he was able to save someone from the disaster that he caused. Because he was able to save someone, he saved himself in the end... and thus, the boy named Shirou, was adopted as his son. Ten years has passed after the war's end, and a new holy grail war was drawing near. Once again, seven magi will be chosen to take part in the battle and seven servants will be summoned once more in the following classes: Saber, Lancer, Archer, Rider, Caster, Assassin, and Berserker. Each servant of the following classes are known as Heroic Spirits, Legendary heroes from the past Present, and Future brought back to the land of the living with new bodies and the same desires, and grudges they held when they were alive. However, because of the dark nature of the holy grail, the rules has been altered as now new servant classes such as, Avenger, Savior, Ruler, Killer, and Shielder has been created. This is the beginning of the Fifth Holy Grail War.
It was a cold night in the city of fuyuki, colder than usual in the winter, as a young man finished drawing a summoning circle inside his apartment. The young man was a high school student, with winter white hair, that almost reached his shoulders, and grey eyes that seemed as cold as ice. He wore a long white trench coat with a blue trim, a heart-shaped pendant around his neck, and a black shirt underneath it along with blue jeans and silver boots. The white haired male pulled out what looked to be an old crown from his coat pocket and placed it in the circle. "I hope this works..." The male sighed as he took a knife out and cut his palm, letting the blood drip into the circle.
"Let it be declared now,
your flesh shall serve under me, and my fate shall be with your sword.
Submit to the beckoning of the Holy Grail.
Answer, if you would submit to this will and this truth.
An oath shall be sworn here.
I shall attain all virtues of all of Heaven;
I shall have dominion over all evils of all of Hell."
The circle began to glow a light blue color as the runes began to rise up and pass through the white haired Magus. "Come forth to me at once!" The whole room was lit up with a blue light as a figure emerged from the light. As the figure stepped forward, a woman's voice can be heard. "I ask you... are you my master?" A young woman with light blonde hair and green eyes stood before the male, dressed in a blue old-style dress and silver clad armor.
Author's note: So, what do you guys think? I came up with a good fate/Story that I think you'll all enjoy. Believe it or not, this story is based off of a Roleplay that me and a friend of mine is doing. Some of the elements is based off of that story of the said role play such as, Saber being pared with the new master and Shirou being pared with another character as his servant as well, so I'm taking partial credit while my friend gets some credit as well as the new relationships will play a key factor in the story. This won't be a retelling of the storyline of our Rp but some of it's elements will be in there. You can expect new and familiar servants in this story, and yes, Avenger, will appear. This is going to be a crossover series that I think you'll all enjoy. Anyways, stay tuned for more.
