I do not own Fate/ stay night or Negima!
Alright. I decided to create a rewrite for multiple reasons:
1. Quality of the writing - I confess that I merely jumped to this whole Nasuverse thing without researching enough. I apologize for that 2. Gary Stu - I fear that the path I'm about to take in the story will make Shirou end up as a OP character. Some minor changes will have to made to accomodate that.
3. Flames - To be honest, I don't like flames, and I think no one does, but I'm going to rewrite this whole thing in the hopes that the flamers will decline. I felt that there were a bit too many bashers. However, if you're going to flame, why read it in the first place? You could also be a constructive criticizer.
Anyways, enjoy!
Kill one to save ten. Ten to save a hundred. A hundred to save a thousand.
Help people for nothing in return, only self-worth.
If receiving an injury or even giving up his life to help somebody would help them, he would do so with no hesitation.
These are the ideals of Shirou Emiya, the sole survivor of the Fuyuki Fire.
Right before Kiritsugu Emiya's, his adopted father's, death, Shirou pledged to be an "Ally of Justice" in Kiritsugu's place and strive to protect everyone at the cost of his own life.
Everything that he is thus far is the result of that very pledge.
However, a sole event would force him to choose between his beliefs and the one he loves...
"I want to help Sakura and protect her," Shirou said, contradicting everything he believed in.
Although he had already made his decision, it felt a bit alien for him to decide to risk many people's lives to save Sakura, but it couldn't be helped. She was the one he loved, after all.
"..." The lavender-haired woman stared at Shirou which made him feel uneasy despite the blindfold on her face.
"Alright, let's form an alliance for now, until Sakura is safe," Rider replied, "She can decide what to do with you after."
Shirou breathed in relief. The group which consisted of Rin, Shirou, and now Rider, had a slightly larger fighting chance against Sakura and Saber Alter.
He glanced towards Rin, who approached with the projection of the Jewel Sword of Zelretch, a dagger-like sword which even Shirou with Archer's knowledge, could not figure out the magical theory behind it.
"We should move on," Rin addressed the Gorgon. "There's not much time yet."
Rider nodded and gestured towards a cave.
She led them to a cave where the ritual to materialize the Holy Grail would take place.
However, as they entered, they were greeted by a shocking sight: Zouken Matou lain on the floor in pain with Sakura standing over him, Saber Alter at his side.
"Sakura!" Shirou yelled, getting her attention.
The girl turned around and ran the opposite direction, away from the entrance. The man moved to follow her, but he was cut off by Saber Alter.
"None shall pass except for the sister of my master!" She growled while wielding, although the comment about Sakura being her master made Shirou frown a bit.
Rin looked at me for some confirmation. "Be careful Shirou," She said.
"I'll be fine, Rider is here with me, but you be careful too," He replied back.
Oh how he would grow to regret those words...
"RHO AIAS!" Shirou called out the legendary shield. In normal cases, this would not be possible, but with the information in Archer's arm, it was projected.
Shirou felt pain, lots of it, but he would not let it stop him from accomplishing his task.
When Shirou summoned the Seven Rings that Cover the Fiery Heavens, it ultimately helped them, as it allowed Rider's own Noble Phantasm, Bellerophon to break through Saber Alter's attack with Excalibur.
BOOM!
A large explosion took place at the point of contact, smoke obscuring the outcome. When it settled down however, the victor was shown.
Rider stood over the dark knight, who was on the floor.
The red head walked towards the fallen body. When he stood over her, both people's eyes made contact. The look in her eyes was easy to read.
Finish me.
I've nothing else left to do.
The former king closed her eyes to prepare herself, but he hesitated.
Could Shirou Emiya, Saber Alter's former Master, kill his former servant, his friend?
He bit his lip. He had to do it, to end the suffering that she was going through.
Shirou Emiya closed his eyes. He imagined a gun, with the hammer pulled back, ready to fire.
And it fired.
"Trace on."
Judging the concept of creation
Hypothesizing the basic structure
Duplicating the composition material
Imitating the skill of its making
Sympathizing with the experience of its growth
Reproducing the accumulated years
Excelling every manufacturing process
Opening his eyes, Shirou was overwhelmed by an ominous feeling. It would make sense, as the weapon was dangerous for Servant and Master alike.
It was ironic, for the original blade was used to cut off Shirou's own left arm.
"This is a sword of negation and betrayal, that nullifies every kind of magecraft in the world," Caster had said.
And she was right. The sword was an iridescent and jagged dagger that was thin, brittle, and blunt. Only the owner would be able to use it fully as a weapon, but Shirou's purpose for Tracing this weapon would be possible.
This was Rule Breaker: All Spells Must Be Broken.
Shirou kneeled over Saber Alter, whose eyes were still closed.
"I'm sorry," was all that he said before plunging the dagger in her chest.
A burst of light filled the room for a moment, but after it settled down, Saber was still there, in her armor from before. Her eyes which were forced open by the pain, began to close slowly.
That was when he noticed her mouth. It was slowly moving. When he leaned forward to hear her last words, what he heard was:
"...an...y.u..."
Her body began to fade away, the effects of a Servant "losing" being enforced.
"Shirou, Rin needs your help," Shirou's thoughts were interrupted by Rider, who was wounded from the battle with Saber. "I can't follow you right now."
He nodded and stood up, Rule Breaker still in hand, and dashed off towards the bowels of the cave.
Shirou began to question just exactly how far the girls went inside the cave, but there were demolished rocks
Suddenly, he felt a burst of prana. He focused on the events in front of him.
Sakura was on the floor, her hands on her head. Dark tendrils of energy wavered back and forth over her body. Rin was holding her, trying to comfort her.
"She seemed to have lost control," Shirou muttered to himself. "I have to stop her from killing herself."
Shirou Emiya approached the prone figure, who was beginning to writhe in pain.
"It hurts...it hurts! IT HURTS!" Sakura Matou began to scream, tears sliding down her face. "Kill me...KILL ME!"
The magus tried to block out the pleads that were flung at him by not looking at her. That was when he noticed the Rule Breaker still present in his hand.
His face hard with conviction, he prepared his swordhand, and thrust it towards Sakura before Rin could protest.
The effect was immediate. A torrent of dark energy rushed out of the girl's body and disappeared into nothingness. Shirou swore that he could hear some voice screaming, but he dismissed that.
There were other problems to take care of.
Sakura was back to normal, having the darkness purged out of her. Although she looked a bit worse-for-wear, she would be fine after all of this was over.
Rider then appeared next to the trio, having been recovered from her injuries.
"I will escort them out," Rider intoned, grabbing each girls' arm. "Our alliance is now over."
Shirou nodded, for he knew what he had to do next. "Keep them safe."
A single nod was all that was returned before she disappeared.
Shirou looked towards the battlefield. He thought that it was convienient that the battle had taken place in front of the area where the Greater Grail was stored.
By now, the Greater Grail has been displayed. This was the item that every Master and Servant had wanted to reach.
'It's right in front of me,' Shirou thought. 'The thing that Dad had gotten to during the last war.'
However, because of this holy item, people have died to reach it, and the cycle must stop, regardless of the Matou's selfishness.
Whether it was because of saving lives or for Sakura, Shirou readied his hands and closed his eyes.
"Trace on."
There's the...prologue I guess? The next chapter will be in the Negimaverse.
Please review, I love it when you do.
Till next time :)
