Fate blades of the night sky chapter 1 my new family
this is an idea I like but never have seen fully explore since most of these kinds of stories either go nowhere are left hanging or just stopped the story I took the original name for this before changing it to Fate blades of the night sky was one of those
Shirou may be a little op
Some story points will be changed to match closer to the nanoha timeline
This first chapter will happen before the main fsn
Gil pov
After the book of darkness was stopped, I knew I needed to control the next host. I also knew I needed to check one the magical singularity in Fuyuki. What I learned from my contacts in the clock tower about the area was how three magical families used the area to try and make their wishes come true. I learned that this wish making ritual required the summoning of seven historical figures by seven mages or at least seven people that qualified, I learned that even serial killers that came close to a summoning spell could bring out a servant. But due to the book of darkness going out of control around the same time, I had to leave grail war alone.
That became an issue when things went out of control of several levels, from the servant caster bring out a pseudo Lovecraftian god to massive property damage to the end of the war causing a massive fire that killed over 500 people and destroyed 134 buildings. I saw the orphans as perfect vessel and I choose one of these kids because a magical fire in a magically rich land would be the best area to produce a mage able to handle the book. Then after checking many kids masquerading as head of British organization offering aid, I found a perfect kid with both a strong linker core and who lost his memories. After leaving him the book of darkness core and before I could adopt the boy myself, somebody else adopted the boy, gave him a name and made him his son. I knew that man was the infamous magus killer Kiritsugu Emiya and just hoped he wouldn't turn the boy into a magus killer as well. I made the choice to let the adoption happen and wait and see what the magus killer did with the and found out Kiritsugu just wanted to give the boy a good life since he wouldn't get back his own biological daughter. It didn't take much long to learn the holy grail imparted a death curse on the magus killer and left the boy now named Shirou Emiya. Three years later that death curse took the magus killer's life leaving Shirou and alone until he woke up the book of darkness at long last.
Shirou pov
Not long after coming into my adopted father's home, he told me "I am a magus and was a hero that saved many people." Not long after I was fully recovered, I asked him to teach me to be a magus as well. At first, he told me no but after many trips he finally agreed to teach and discovered I had lots of skill as a magus even more than he could help me as much as he could in the time he had left. The most my father was able to teach me was about a branch of magic called projection and Reinforcement.
Not long after that he died, I never really learned what killed my father just that I had to burn his body. A day or so later, I couldn't keep in the pain and when It all came out I saw a book that seemed to say something in a language that I couldn't understand, then I seemed to pass out only to wake up on what seemed like a floating magical circle and above that circle was the book again and I got a better look at the book to see it was covered in chains. The next thing that happened was for the chains to break and the book to turn all its pages while glowing until lowing in front of me. I was sure if I should be afraid or happy I just got a magic book in such a strange way. The next thing I knew I was on my bed in my bed room with Four people kneeling in front of me and a pink haired older female saying "We have confirmed the activation of the book of darkness." Then a blond female in the group said "We are the guardian knight of the book of darkness and its master." A blue haired well-muscled man with strange ears said "we will serve you as master of the book." Then the final member who was a girl orange hair said "we are your knights the wolkenritter, command us as you will." Before I had a chance to reply, the strength in my legs went out and then with them the rest of the strength in my body.
The next thing I knew I was a hospital and checked me in. Once I woke up, I convinced the staff the knights were friends of Kiritsugu and the older three would take over my guardianship. Then after I checked out and arranged for Taiga to check on me from time to time. The other thing I learned from my hospitalization was, that I lost control of my legs needing a wheel chair for the time being. When I did get a chance to talk to my new personal knight, I learned they refered to the book as the book of darkness as long as they knew and they would guard and protect both the book and myself as long as I lived. They also had the goal to complete the book of darkness to help me become the ultimate mage but with the cost of draining other mages. So, I told them not to do that. What I did want them to do was to help refine my magecraft and when the proper time came we could all become heroes of justice.
After we had the chance, I asked each knight they name and magic specializations. First was the pink haired woman told me her name was Signum, the knight of the sword and showed me her weapon Laevatein that could change between a normal double-bladed sword, an extending snake like sword and a bow and her elemental affinity was fire. The second woman with blond hair told me her name was Shamal, Knight of the Lake with Klarwind a set magical rings and had more support type functions like transport and healing and her affinity was wind. Then the third member of the knights the orange haired girl revealed her name Vita the Knight of the Iron Hammer and her weapon was Graf Eisen a power hammer type weapon and affinity was earth. Then the final member the large blue haired man told me his name was Zafira Guard Beast of the Shield and his affinity was water. Then I had to ask Zafira "why do you have no weapon and what is with your ears? Is that why you refer to yourself as guard beast?" He then changed into a large blue wolf and then said "That is because I am a magical beast and this is my true form." I then thought and asked "Since you can change form already is it possible to change into a smaller form that sticks out less." He then said "yes master." And then changed into a much smaller puppy like form.
The knights then asked for at least battle outfits but I also knew they needed normal clothing. The first thing for normal sets, we went to a clothing store then for more combat type outfits I asked old man Riaga to be given business card for the person my adopted father got his bulletproof suits from. Then when I called the tailor she was able to make enhanced combat uniforms for them. When I met the tailor, I we learned she was magus that specialized magical combat related clothing for many clients that she couldn't say. Each knight chose combat suited outfits they liked. For a while we were a family teaching each other things until I began to lose more control of my body.
I later learned the book was started to take greater hold of my body and needed to begin absorbing mages linker cores and the knight were going against my orders not to complete the book to try and save my life. Around that same time, I met a girl while I was a museum with Shamal, I was there to see the collection of rare swords and there I met a family of body guards and their daughter who I could tell was a very strong mage. I just knew we had to pretend to not be mages around the girl from Kiritsugu's teachings. The girl's father invited me to his house when I could to see him collection, he was impressed by my like and knowledge of rare blades while I wanted to have for reality marble.
-Flashback - shortly after Shirou met the knights
When the knights were helping me training magic, they discovered my true magic the kind I had before I gained the book of darkness and that was a reality marble that could hold copies of any blades weapon I saw. It was mostly full normal blades I must've seen before I lost my memories but it seemed to also hold copies of the Signum's and Vita's weapons as well. I knew in time I could create a spell to manifest the reality marble into the real world or discover others ways to use it later.
- back to present Nanoha's house
My trip to the museum was mostly fruitless by I did find a sword that belonged to Musashi but sadly She had many swords of time and this wasn't one of any major value or power. Then when I looked at the collection that belonged to Nanoha's father, brother and sister. Again, most of their swords were normal except her brother, who held a sword that was both very old and had the potential to become a noble phantasm in another timeline. It was almost like his fate was torn between two timelines and the answer gained from Shamal told me over telepathy was "It is possible a heroic spirit, maybe an alternate version of Shirou Takamachi could have been summoned to watch over this family by mistake or on purpose." After we arrived back home at my house in Fuyuki, Shamal told me what she knew of heroic spirts and also figured out that in anytime from a few years to a few decades the land of Fuyuki could be used for a holy grail war but she couldn't truly be sure until ritual to fully start the war began.
Then a few weeks later my condition began to get worse this time when I was visiting Nanoha and her family so they took me to the hospital. Around that same time, the book of darkness was coming close to completion. Then when I happened to make it to the roof to see the knights I saw Nanoha kill Zafira, thus fully releasing the dark of darkness' true power. For the next part I was trapped inside the space of the book of darkness until I met the spirit of the book a young girl that didn't even know her own name. What woke me up was a blast from Nanoha and then a friend of her told me the book was named the tome of the night sky. After that I named the spirit of the book Reinforce. But once I united with Nanoha and her friends Reinforce told me the problem with the book and that issue was a program installed called the NachtWal that had become a taint in the book and cause my condition.
The solution we figured out was for Nanoha and her friends to destroy the manifested NachtWal on the outside world while I cut its ties with the tome of the night sky in my reality marble. Through combined efforts we managed to destroy the defense system but Reinforce revealed another issue, she had to be delated as well. after the battle was done everything went back to normal, except for the fact the wolkenritter had work of the damage they caused, while I promised to join the TSAB after the holy grail issue was solved.
A few years later, I remade reinforce from part of my linker core. I had Shamal help me prepare for the grail war when she discovered I already had a relic that could be used in summoning a heroic spirt within my soul, left by my late adopted father. We soon discovered the war could be under way in a few years but I would need to recover my linker core a little more to fully support a servant unless he or she was converted to a member of the wolkenritter. Then another change happened during my last year of middle school, I met up with Nanoha and Fate again. I decided to finish highschool but Nanoha and Fate had already been training in the TSAB, I wanted to join but due to needing to stop the grail and finish highschool I held off.
Then a few years later, I new the grail war was about to begin and I needed to summon a servant. To do so I tapped on the power of the book and scabbard within me to summon a girl in black armor and girl skin saying Servant saber has come to your aid master.
