Author's Note: Ok, here's my attempt at a Fate/Stay night and Fable crossover. This story will not be from either of the three routes that you can follow from Fate/Stay night. The reason for this is that Arturia and Shirou will be the main characters, and I will need Arturia to desire another life with Shirou. Now I would like your feedback, good or bad. But if you are giving me negative feedback on this fic please tell me why you think so, so I can improve this fic.
Beta-reader: None
Disclaimer: I do not own Fate/Stay night, Fable or any associated characters or fictional locations. Lets Begin.
Prologue:
A Knight, a King stood by her Friend and Master, a boy who desired to be a hero, a protector and learnt from battle to wield the weapons of his enemies. These two were none other than Arturia Pendragon the King of Knights, and Shirou Emiya the Wieldier of the reality marble Unlimited Blade Works. Both of these warriors stood before the Holy Grail, corrupted by the sins of mankind and unleashed its malice intent onto the world through the Holy Grail war. The Grails original purpose was to grant a single wish to those desired such a thing, but as time went on people became greedy, selfish and used what was created for good for evil. It was through the sins of man that the grail became as it was, the final act being none other than the creation of the Holy Grail war and connecting the grail to the Heaven Feels true magic.
The Heavens Feel was no other than a magic used to force summon deceased Legends back to the land of the living, to partake in war under the banner of their new masters. Once brought back as Heroic Spirits and made into servants they are then tasked to fight, killing other masters and servants alike to bring the holy grail back to earth for a single wish. In total of seven masters and servants only one must remain of each for the grail to awaken.
And that brings us back to the present, as the last of the masters and servants stand before the grail. But these two did not come for a wish, they came to break the grail for a final time to stop the war, permanently.
The two had fought dark magnifications of master and servants alike to reach the grail, both of which where brought back from their own demise by the grail to protect its existence from those which seek to harm it, twisting, corrupting and empowering their sprits with its own dark power.
The two fought, ending the twelfth lives of a Berserk demi-god, breaking an Archers last blade, blocking all three strikes from Assassin, shattering a shield from Caster, putting down the dog known as Lancer, and breaking the chains of a Rider. Through all these battles the two tired, bleed and struck out, fighting through the darkness and protecting one another's backs. And at last they had both reached their goal, the dark power of the grail glowing in front of their broken bodies, the last of their strength waning through this last hurdle. The servant Saber stepped forward with her master, the one who absorbed her Sheath Avalon as a child and now has its power coursing through his body.
As they stepped forward the grail summoned its last servant, fusing its essence with the man to empower him to the max. A Servant summoned from the pervious war, surviving by sacrificing the lives of innocents for power. This servant was none other than Gilgamesh, the King of Kings. The corruptions twisted the man, his face hidden by a black shroud, only his crimson eyes could be seen blazing through. The mans golden hair tainted black, his ultimate treasure, his armour, was broken and twisted, the once rich golden plates where stained black, the cracks shone crimson. The Kings mind was erased, allowing the grail complete control of its new vessel.
"You Shall Not End Me! Gates Of Babylon!" The possessed servant echoed, his once bold and arrogant tone replaced by a hollow bark. As the gates where summoned into existence it was easy to see that it had also been twisted, its once bright orange and red replaced by dark tones of gray and black. The thing summoned everyone of its weapons, the gates arching an impossible weigh due to the grails power.
The Knight King and her Master could only stare in horror before steeling their resolve, this was their final battle, they would fight and win, for those who have fallen, for those who were corrupted, and so no one else will have to suffer the same fate that both of them had.
As the Grail launched his weapons Arturia chose to defend her master while they rushed forward, as her master chose to summon the twin blades Kansho and Bakuya to defend himself while he chanted his Aria. "I am the bone of my sword," he spoke, deflecting two spears that saber had missed. "Steel in my body, and fire in my blood," a blade sliced into his arm, making him drop Kansho before he deflected with Bakuya, saber herself had gained several cuts on her face. "I have created over a thousand blades, unaware of loss, nor aware of gain," Shirou was forced to drop roll mid-chant to avoid a barricade of swords, saber being pined a distance from himself by a large number of Gilgamesh's treasures. "Withstood pain to create many weapons, waiting for one's arrival, I have no regrets," Shirou grit his teeth as a blade lodged itself into his left arm, making him drop Bakuya. Saber's own armour was broken, laying on the floor as she continued to last under an endless amount of weapons."This is the only path," Shirou ripped the blade from his arm and continued to defend himself with the blade as he continued to chant. "My whole life was Unlimited Blade Works!" He bellowed the last, activating his reality marble and ceasing their enemies endless attacks.
"This Will Not End Me, Ea, Sword Of Rapture Come to Me!" Grail Gilgamesh hollow voice spoke, but to the relief of his enemies the blade did not answer his call.
Saber was the first to realize the true reason this was happening, the blade which the grail was trying to call would only answer to the True Gilgamesh, not the shell which the grail was controlling. With a meaningful look towards Shirou she stepped forward, attracting the attention of the grail. "You will never be able to beat us with stolen powers, you corrupt, honourless coward, prepare yourself! EX," Saber spoke, her voice speaking with authority as she announced her attack.
The grail in a fit of panic launched all of its attacks at Saber, completely ignoring Shirou and allowing him to trace his bow. Shirou quickly traces Caliburn and a copy of Excalibur, altering both into a screw like shapes, flushing Avalon's power into the blades instead of his own. As he does this the blades crack, becoming flawed, becoming Broken Phantasms.
"Calibur!" Saber finishes her attack, launching a powerful blast of light from her blade, destroying all of the grails launched weapons in its path. As the grail uses all of its power to block the holy power from reaching it, it was becoming a target. Shirou fired the two Broken Phantasms at the Grails unprotected side, both stuck true and detonated with the power of Avalon, allowing Sabers attack to strike as the Grail flayed about.
Once the blinding explosion ceased they were about to see the damage, Gilgamesh's body was almost completely destroyed, the only remaining part of its body being its head. As the head began to fade, taking the Grail with it, both Arturia and Shirou walked to one another. Arturia's ridden had been removed at some point during the battle, allowing her bright blond hair to fall down her back, showing off her feminine features. Her sparking Green eyes gazed into Shirou's gold, his bright red hair framing the small smile on his face. As Shirou's vision began to blur Saber spoke, her body beginning to fade as she did so. " Thank you, Shirou, I only wish we could have had another life together like this," she spoke, a solemn happiness descended onto both of them as she finished.
The Grail however heard every word of it, its vessels ears were still functional allowing it to hear the servants wish. Unable to think like a sentient being any longer it was only able to grant its function. And while its function may have been corrupted to the point that it could only destroy, that didn't stop it from granting the wish.
Shirou and Arturia could only stare in shock as pure darkness descended upon them from the head, their bodies being completely consumed and erased by the darkness as their souls and weapons where removed from existence, the origin of their souls destination unknown even to the grail. And with that final act the Grail faded, never to be seen again.
(Albion)
At that exact moment three new arrivals entered the world of Albion, all brought into the world through different ways, but all would walk the same path.
At a certain Castle within the borders of Albion, a child was being brought into the world, the child would be the second born of the King. As the King paced outside a room with his son Logan his wife cursed, bellowing on how she would castrate him for doing this to her. After several moments of silence he was called in. Once the weary father entered the room he was greeted with a beautiful smile from his wife, and the image of a bright Green eyed baby. "Say hello to your little girl Arturia Pendragon," his wife spoke, full of happiness as she did so. Uther himself couldn't help but smile as his daughters beautiful sky blue eyes looked up at him.
The Butler Jasper was having a walk around the Castles garden, he needed to relax from the stress of the birth. As he walked he could smell something burning, it took him a few seconds to realize that it wasn't coming from the kitchens like he had first thought. It was in fact coming from the corner of the garden. After cursing whoever created the fire he walked over, hoping that it would be a simple matter. However what he saw shocked him, a child was surrounded by a red fire, the garden the child laid in turning black to the flames as the child laid fast asleep. Jasper quickly overcame his shock and ripped off his jacket in haste and rushed to save the child. Jasper managed to grab the child while only gaining miner burns. Once he, himself had calmed down he checked the child over, the first thing he noticed was the fact the child was a boy, and the second thing which brought him much relief was the fact that the boy was unharmed. Once the boy's safety was secure while wrapped within his jacket he headed to the kitchen, quickly getting the staff to put out to fire before heading to the training room. "Hopefully that buffoon Walter will have a clue about this child," thought Jasper the slight mocking tone entering his thoughts, as he thought on the training instructor that the King had hired for Logan, and his new born child when they came to age. It wasn't long before he found the man, sitting and drinking his mead, Ale or whatever he could get his hands on, like usual.
"Walter, did anyone enter the garden today?" Jasper questioned, hoping they could find whoever tried to harm the child.
"No one to my knowledge, but then I don't think Uther would let anyone near the castle as his wife was giving birth, Ha" Walter spoke with a small laugh, thinking on all the added security that the king had put into place.
Jasper just shook his head, mentally stopping himself from commenting on the mans drinking habits. "Well someone must of got in, they tried to burn this child alive in the garden. Luckily I was able to get to him before he was harmed. And its King Pendragon, not Uther, show some respect!".
Walter couldn't stop the shock, spilling his Ale all over. Someone had managed to get past all of their security with a child and no one had noticed. He decided that he would have to run some drills into the current security. It was then that he noticed a pair of Gold eyes looking at him from Jasper's jacket. "Is that the kid in your arms Jasper?".
Jasper himself was a little shocked at the question, he had completely forgot that he was carrying the child with how quiet the baby was. After a quick look he saw the same gold eyes peering from his jacket around the room. "Yes, this is the child you buffoon," Jasper stated, his usual insult to Walter slipping in as he did.
Walter himself just walked over and picked up the child, completely ignoring Jaspers comment. "Well then, lets name the kid. How about Shirou?" Walter questioned while looking into the boys eyes.
"You cant name the child you fool, he most likely already has a name!" Jasper once again insults Walter, unable to keep up with the mans split seconds decisions.
"Why not? I am going to train the kid after all!" Walter admitted, a wide grin stretching across his bearded face as he did so.
"Like I would let the boy be raised by an uncouth, disrespectful brut like you," Jasper almost bellowed at the man, the only thing stopping him was the child within said brutes arms.
As the two men continued to argue on how the newly named Shirou would be raised another item was brought into the world. This item was none other than Excalibur, the weapon that was once held by the King of Knights, and would once again be held by her. The blade appeared above a symbol inside the Kings family crept, and slowing began to sink into the golden ying yang like symbol before vanishing with a flash of light. In a distant place, a woman smiled a fox like grin, seeing how the future had changed. But for better or worse was yet to be seen.
