Archer vs Avengers
Chapter 1
The Summoning and a Message
A/N: The actual version of the Avengers in the story is from the animated TV show called Avengers Assemble.
The world was not happy, it had just done the proper calculations of the Avengers acts and determined the true end result of their actions. The people of Earth would at first look to them as hope, but soon that hope would turn into a crutch that makes the people not able to stand on their own. It needed to do something fast, and the only way to do that is to summon a counter guardian to do the job for the world.
Being the world itself meant that it didn't have to go through all of that summoning jumbo in the first place, so it just brought forth a guardian known to do the impossible. Counter Guardian Shirou Emiya, he was one of the heroic spirits of the fifth holy grail war and one of it's best warriors.
"Yes Alayashiki, where are you sending me this time," Emiya said as he just stood there and crossed his arms over his chest in a board tone. He wore black pants, boots and what looked like body armor for a sleeveless shirt, he also wore a brown hood-less cloak that only covered his left side down to his lower back.
"I have summoned you because you are one of, if not the only, guardian I have that has the insight to know where the actions of the Avengers will lead," it said with complete certainty.
"I was wondering when I would get the chance to take them out, when do you want it done, and how," he asked as he got a smirk on his face and a twinkle in his eye.
"I will leave both to your discretion, but remember that the longer we wait, the greater the damage," Alayashiki started. "You will be granted your full power for this mission so you can win, but also I am giving you the choice to go as you are or with the attributes of all warrior classes."
That made Emiya stop and think about what to do for a moment, on one hand he would almost be guaranteed victory if he took the attributes of all warrior classes. While on the other hand it wouldn't be his victory if he used someone else's power to do so, and that would hurt his own ego if he did that.
With this in mind he spoke, "I appreciate the offer, but I think this should be done with my own power."
"Very well, you will be sent down now," the world spoke before making him disappear in a flash of blue and gold. As the world was sitting there thinking about what was going to happen, it couldn't help but smile at the human race about to be cut from it's leash.
New York close to Avengers Tower
Emiya arrived in front of a tall building that looked more technologically advanced when compared to the rest of the city. A loud explosion forced his attention to turn west of the building and noticed that all seven of the Avengers were in battle with the Masters of Evil. It looked like the Masters were losing quite badly, meaning that he only had a little while to infiltrate the tower and put his plan into motion.
Going into his spiritual form, Emiya quickly was able to make it through the buildings walls without trouble, but was able to tell they need to clean in them if the cobwebs and mice were any indication. He made his way up the stairs and to what appeared to be the common room for talks and relaxation. He kept on exploring until he found what he had been looking for, the kitchen to make himself some tea as he wait for the Avengers to arrive home.
The kitchen wasn't well kept and every glance around made him want to vomit at how badly is wasn't kept. He opened the fridge and found that the only thing in there was close to what you would expect a child to have if they lived alone. He only managed to find some tea bags that had some of the worst tea he had ever had experienced in his long life.
While making the tea, he kept in his spiritual form as not to wake the AI to his presence for the Avengers to arrive earlier than expected. He finished making the tea and went back to the common room that he found earlier and just sat there and waited until the group came back.
When he heard them coming out of the elevator and into the hallway leading to the common room, he went to his physical form.
"Sir, there is an intruder in the mansion," Jarvis voiced to Stark.
"Where is he, and how did he get in," Stark asked as he and the rest of the Avengers became on guard the second they heard that.
"He is in the sitting room sir, he is just sitting there drinking tea, but I have no idea how he got there," the voice said in clear confusion.
"Are you going to make me wait all night, I would like to get this meeting started," Emiya said to them from the couch clearly getting impatient.
The group of heroes filed in and saw the guy sitting there as if nothing was out of the ordinary and he had been there for years. "You mind telling us why you broke in here son," Captain America said with a disapproving look on his face.
"First off, I exist outside of time, so to call someone who is older than yourself son is quite strange. Second, I walked in so that I could talk to you about what the world wants from you," he said before taking a sip of the horrid tea.
"We haven't gotten word that the people of Midgard is sending an ambassador to talk with us have we," Thor asked clearly confused.
"Not the people of Earth, the world itself, you can call it whatever you like as it has gone by several names. Gaia, Alayashiki, the collective unconsciousness of mankind, but to someone like me, we simply call it the world," Emiya stated calmly.
That seemed to get everyone's attention as they just stared blankly at him for a moment before Stark spoke with a chuckle, "so the literal world has a mission for us, that's rich."
"This doesn't appear to be a laughing matter Tony, look at his face and you can tell he is serious," Captain said as he stared into the guardian's eyes.
"Very good, I was not sent here for a mission for you, I was sent here with a message from the world for you to stop this team and split up before I am forced to take action," Emiya said bluntly.
This made the whole room go wide eyed before all their eyes narrowed before Falcon said what everyone else was thinking. "Why should we disband because a being that claims to be the world has told us to?"
"Because the world has done calculations upon calculations as well as hundred thousand scenarios and they all say the same thing, it will be the end of humanity's ability to stand on it's own," he replied.
"I don't believe that, I have hope that humanity can do more than what you have obviously seen." Captain said.
Emiya's eyes got cold and narrowed at that, "you yourself do not see it do you? Humanity did see you as symbols of hope, and more than likely they will continue to do so. I am not saying that you are not, and to many children you most certainly are, but have you even noticed the differences in the police from when you started and now."
"Me and Hulk have," Black Widow said and gaining everyone's attention as they turned to face her with questioning looks. "At first the cops did what they could by themselves until we arrived, but lately they only ever arrive at the end as if they wait for us to deal with the threat first."
"The same way with emergency services as well, at first they showed up and we helped them out with the emergency like a fire. Lately it seems that they help us out more than doing their own job," Hulk growled out.
"You never mentioned this to anyone because why exactly," Barton asked.
"Widow and I thought that if we talked to them, then we could get them out of their funk and start to do what's right," Hulk started.
"However they basically told us that because there is the Avengers, they don't have to work as much and can take it easy," Widow finished.
"I do believe that my point has just been proven, but that's not all that will come to pass should you not disband and prevent the crippling of humanity," Emiya said a little smugly.
"I don't believe you because I did my own calculations and they say that we will remain a symbol of hope without the hindrance to humanity," Stark said with a serious face and crossed arms.
"I second with Tony, my calculations say the same and I am more inclined to believe him over some stranger," Falcon said.
"I doubt that you have the ability to check all the variables in that equation because you lack the comprehension to see that a being with more knowledge and power at it's disposal than you have in your hole lifetime has a greater chance at being right," Emiya pointed out smartly.
"We take on beings that think they are greater than us all the time, we will not disband and we will not be a crutch to humanity in anyway," Captain America said sternly.
"You heard the captain, you may take your leave now that you have our answer," Thor told him.
Emiya sighed because he knew this is how it would go, "very well, I shall return within a weeks time to destroy you all. I would use that time to write your wills and say goodbye to your loved ones," he got up and walked calmly to the door.
"You think you can threaten us, let alone fight us," Stark asked and made the intruder stop at the window.
He peeked over his left shoulder and said, "this will not be a fight, nor do I threaten, however this will be an execution," before he turned into his spiritual form and left via the window without it shattering.
