Normal text

"Talking"

Flashbacks

"Thoughts"

I think I'll just insert those after I actually write the chapter...since I'm making this up as I sit at my keyboard. You need to look carefully anyway, since there is talking in flashbacks, so I'll point them out when they appear.

WARNING: THIS CHAPTER CONTAINS A MAJOR SPOILER FOR THOSE THAT DIDN'T FIGURE OUT ARCHER'S TRUE NAME!!! IN FACT, THIS ENTIRE FANFIC IS A SPOILER!!! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!!

When We Meet Again:

A Fate/stay Night Fanfic

Introduction,

The Archer, the Saber, the Lancer, the Caster, the Beserker, the Rider, the Assassin...these were the seven classes that would do battle over the Holy Grail, said to be able to grant it's possessor any one wish. Along with them, seven chosen magicians known as "Masters" would sumon heroic souls from one of these classes as their "Servants." Together, they battled as master and servant, struggling for control of the Holy Grail. But, in the last Holy Grail War, something unusual happened. The servant of the Saber class, in this case a woman from a much older England, and her master, Emiya Shirou, a Japanese high school student in Fuyuki City, chose to turn down the chance at having any wish granted. They destroyed the corrupted power that had tried to take the place of the Holy Grail, the result of an unkown event in a previous war that altered the entire process.

But that wasn't all that was strange...master and servant had fallen for one another. As they stood there, at the end of the battle, they had hardly enough time to say those three words. And then...she was gone. With the current round of the war over, there was nothing keeping her body in the physical world, as all servants were heroes who had died in some tragic or noble way.

Of course, sometimes God has a funny way of messing with your head, you know? We've all seen His sense of humor here and there...but how can you not find it so darned amusing that they have no idea of what's to come?

Wait, you didn't know? Well, perhaps I should tell you then? You sure? Very well then, let me start somewhere else...

Flashback...

Archer, despite his efforts, just wasn't ready to take on the beast of a warrior known as Beserker, who in this case was supposed to be Heracles. He had just been smashed through the ceiling of Illyasviel's mansion, Illya being the very young master of Beserker, and dangerous magician.

She slowly made her way down the stairs in the grand entrance hall, looking down at the motionless Archer...

"Well, maybe you regret it a little now?" and as she looked on, she noticed that his body had begun to move again...

"Heh...and I thought I had thrown them away..." He had tried so hard to, he didn't want to go through the pain of such a loss...but when he found his chance, he realized, that those feellngs had never left...

"Wha- he's still alive? Bazerka! Hurry up and kill him, before you get killed!"

"RRRGGGHHH!!!"

"You're still so merciless, Illya..."

"I-Illya?"

Archer gave the fight everything he had left, including using his best ability, Unlimited Blade Works, to pull Beserker into his own realm. Using what mana he had left, he was able to kill off five of beserker's extra lives. But with that, he had no energy left to remain in this world. So he began to fade away, leaving all to wonder who he really was...

End Flashback...

But if one were to look closer at the scene, you would find something very interesting. A piece of archer's red mantle had fallen to the floor of the hall, slowly fading away after him. As it did, a small object was being revealed from underneath of it...a red gem, and not just any gem. It was the gem Tohsaka Rin had used to summon him...and also to save the life of one Emiya Shirou. In case you didn't know, magicians attempting to summon a particular servant will use an item related to that servant in order to raise their chances, and it usually works. But Rin didn't know that this gem was going to be linked to Shirou in this way, so how could she have known...that the Archer she summoned was in fact Emiya Shirou himself, pulled into his own past.

So with that said, let me finnaly reveal the focus of this story: the story of what was in store for Shirou and Saber after what they thought was their final goodbye...

Author's comments: Well, this was really just an introduction of sorts. I've never uploaded anything to before, so I'm experimenting with this introduction. so if you're reading this right after it's been uploaded, and it looks very horrible, I am very much checking to make sure it's all readable. I also want to note that I do not have a proofreader, and more often than not, I might be writing these as I go along, re-read once or twice, and upload. If anyone wants to be my proofreader, lemme know and I'll think about it. I might be better off as is, I might not, this is the first actual writing project I've started. In other words, I've only done short stories before, so please read and review, and tell me if it looks good!!!

Lancer: WHAT?! THAT'S IT?! WHAT A RIP-OFF!!!

Archer: WE SUE!!!

W-N: SHUT UP!!!

Fujimura: WHERE'S THE FOOD?!

Until next time!
