Fate/Cameo
By Zanatos Green
Chapter 0 Unexpected Interference
A lone entity sat in a realm beyond the perception of man. This being looked through the kaleidoscope of universes, every world every possibility laid out before it, for one possibility. This thing had a wish, one it could not accomplish itself. It needed a catalyst, something that she could use to grant that power. Suddenly a scenario made itself available.
The Holy Grail Wars. A series of conflicts where magi from all over the globe chosen by the grail itself, summon the legendary heroes of the past for one purpose. To defeat the other combatants and obtain the grail, in the hopes of having one wish granted by its limitless power. The conflict has raged on many times with no one claiming the prize however maybe now someone will. The fifth Holy Grail War is about to begin
"Perfect" smirked the entity this is exactly what I need to start for my dream to come true. The entity watched as one of the heroes was summoned, this one a blindfolded woman in a tight dress, and traced the magic to the dimension it began.
"Well," it said waiting for the right moment to make itself known. "I think is should start… here."
Our tale starts at the throne of heroes, a mysterious plane of existence where the souls of the heroes of legend rest waiting to be called upon to obtain the ultimate relic the Holy Grail. Now one of the final calls went out to find a hero to act as a servant, and perhaps the most unlikely person was chosen. He was named EMIYA, and not only was he a counter guardian, a protector of the planet, but he was also from the future as his nature allowed him to be summoned to any point in time. As his consciousness began to awaken he had only one thought.
"It's finally time huh?"
He had experienced this war before however, not as a servant but as a master. He was Shiro Emiya, a wannabe hero in control of the saber class servant and in an alliance with his future master Rin. He found it funny that his journey started and ended at the same point, the fifth Holy Grail war in Fuyuki City, Japan. He was nearly there now ready to greet his old friend turned current unwitting master...until.
"HEROIC ENTRY!"
The cry sounded out as the heroic spirit, despite having no physical form, felt the sensation of receiving a flying double-footed dropkick directly in the face. Naturally the experienced hero reacted to this event in the most dignified way possible.
"Wha?"
"Nice try buddy," His assailant shouted, "but this is my shot at a wish not yours. Just go wait until next time okay?"
EMIYA recovering from his shock attacked the interloper without another word. To describe the ensuing battle between the heroic spirit and the interfering enigma is quite impossible as it is not something mortals could even perceive. To put it in a simple term however it was not unlike two people entering a shoving match to try to get through a door. The battle continued for a short time until just before the ritual was complete the mystery spirit managed to shove the hero aside and was brought into the world. The hero was left behind feeling many things at this. He felt confused, as he did not know who interrupted his summoning. Annoyance, as he would not be able to prevent his past self from making the same mistakes, and he felt worry, as through his connection to the grail he could tell, whatever that was, it was not a heroic spirit, and not even the grail knew what it was.
"Rin, just what did you summon?" for the first time in a very long time EMIYA was scared. Not just for his friends but for the entire world.
