How 'In Flight' should have begun/middled/ended

Shirou Emiya entered Shin Tokyo through conventional means and was reunited with his long-lost mother due to unforseen technical difficulties. He then attempted to impale an alien.

There were tears.


It was after Shirou failed the entrance exam for the University that another alien, this one a man, jumped out and stuck his tongue down Shirou's throat. Unsurprisingly he took exception to this and dragged the prana-draining monster down a back alley and stabbed it with Rule Breaker. While it lay twitching in a pile of trash Shirou carved the rune for 'Sleep' into it's forhead. He carried it to the port and hid the body in a shipping container he'd aquired earlier.

This repeated itself for some time.


After a rather large amount of the aliens had attempted to drain Shirou of his mystical energies he came to a realisation.

He had no idea what to do with them. They just lay in the container, not geting thin or sick. Interestingly enough none of them had become dehydrated and died so far. However Shirou lacked the skillset to make any sense of what this meant as a whole.

Also they were starting to smell.

In a fit of pique, he sealed up all sixty of them and put them on a boat with delivery intructions on how to reach the Clock Tower.


His mother didn't come home that night, or any night that week in fact. When she did finally return she was drunk, disorderly and passed out into her bed without prompting.

The alien from the airport came to pick her up in the morning and Shirou decapitated it over coffee. He took pictures. Not long after disposing of the body his mother awoke to a blaring phone call from MBI.

There were tears.


A few weeks later, Shirou received a letter by way of messenger falcon. The falcon was made of metal and, puzzlingly, had made a nest out of his sister's manga. Shirou sent a reply back and the falcon left, igniting the nest with a burst of flame from it's posterior as it took flight. Shirou fought down the urge to just leave it and put the fire out.

That afternoon Shirou announced to his mother that he had been readmitted to his English university and would be heading back soon. His sister discovered the pile of smouldering ash on her carpet.

There were tears.


Miya, the 01, for allowing over half of her kind to disappear, attacked MBI and freed the rest of her charges from the nutter in charge. With the help of a surprisingly aquiescent geneticist, they were given complete freedom.

There were tears. Largely of happiness.

Minaka was committed to a mental asylum. No one minded overmuch.

Shirou returned to the Clock Tower with a promise on both sides not to do it again and an acknowledgement that he would keep them abreast of any great developments.

Rin was having sex with a Finnish girl and Saber had been seduced by a Fraga.
