The first Saga (The Scabbard)

episode 1 The color of warriors and kings

"I am the bone of time, darkness is my body and light courses through my veins, I have witnessed birth and fall of the universe, death and reincarnation of epic souls. I have withstood boredom to judge countless souls though so my eternal damnation in heaven I grandly accept. So as I pray 'Gate of judgment' "

A Burst of light blinded the darkness and a curtain of pure light replaced the void. Startled by the extreme pressure of energy, archer opened his right hand and summoned up his ultimate shield,

"Rho aias! The Seven Rings that Cover the Fiery Heavens!"

soon after he let out that chant a pink ball of energy formed on his palm, one by one sphere shaped energy block started emerging from the concentrated ball until it bloomed to form a giant seven petaled flower like energy block. An ultimate technique that rendered lancer's finishing move useless.

But even this wasn't enough to keep archer from stumbling down to his knees. As he redirected his sight up he saw, to his surprise layers upon layers of rho aias slowly evaporating into thin air right in front of him. The power was way beyond anything he has witnessed before and this was just the deactivation sequence of Gabriel's reality marble.

Powerlessly pinned on the ground and almost deprived of protection

Archer unconsciously pictured a blurry yellowish triangular shaped structure. It wasn't a sword nor a shield, it was something totally different.

(Imagine the ultimate shield that will shield you from the most powerful of attacks.)

he heard a small flash of voice on his head, a voice that sounded utterly familiar and at the same time soothing.

'the most powerful shield…'

Still pinned on the ground and almost out of mana archer traced the blurry figure on his head with all his might.

(Trace on…composition : Steel, iron, Mythr… type: Scabbard…

true owner: unknown… Wielder : shiro emiya…)

despite the incomplete trace archer's almost destroyed shield was soon replaced by a yellow triangular energy block, it was a different sensation from conventional tracing technique, it felt like it ripped right out of his body.

Archer grabbed onto his chest in an attempt to reduce the pain he felt on his chest.

That aside, his traced shield has done it's job, unlike Rho aias which was helpless against the energy pressure. this peculiar shield blocked the incoming pressure almost effortlessly, as if it never even existed.

"Energy confinement!" Not long after the trace, archer's master let out a simple chant which mysteriously stopped the bang of supersonic pressure in an instant.

"May I ask what happened just then?" exhausted by the defensive maneuvers he initiated, archer laid flat on the ground and asked his mentor.

"Phew…I'll have to apologize to gokou later, I probably created a giant black hole in his dimension." Ignoring archer's questions Gabriel shook the dust on his black coat and muttered to himself.

"Umm…sir."

Wiping the last of the sweat on his forehead, archer took off his red coat and rose up from the ground, it's been a while since archer visited the afterlife and a large portion his memories still needed some tuning up, sure he had the big picture of how the afterlife is but eons in the holy grail left his memories in bits and pieces. It was natural for him to be startled by that magnificent display of power. Not only that, he needed some answers too.

Archer faintly remembered the name 'Gokou' as far his bleak memory could tell him, He was the be the former harbinger of balance. Around ten generations before him to be precise. He was hailed as the strongest harbinger of balance to have ever placed the rank but his powers were too absolute that he only managed to disrupt the flow of the universe where he performed his missions. He even managed to destroy a few planets. In the end he decided to resign from his duty as the harbinger of balance. The rest was largely a mystery

"Oh, sorry about that, I missed out the necessary countermeasure spells. It's been a while since I did that you see."

He gave archer a word of apology and a small smile.

"What…was that sir? I've never seen that before."

Gabriel stopped his smile and stared at archer.

"Of course you havem't, I just shut down the doorway to the afterlife there are currently over ten thousand souls queuing outside, among them one potential epic soul. Now let's hurry we've got no time to lose."

Archer looked around the room to watch out for any changes in space. Sure enough there were feint light here a bit of carbon dioxide and a very minuscule portion of spirit particles. Small but prominent change.

' Could it be? His reality marble is black hole itself?'

"Morpheus you know the drill"

Gabriel opened his palm on the air and like magic a set of two pills appeared on his hand. One blue and the other, red. Gabriel carefully moved his hand onto archer who was observing his surroundings.

"You might already have noticed by now, We're in singularity right now beyond the event horizon, Gravity is infinite here and as such no matter can survive, only entities unaffected by gravity, like souls and ghosts can access this entrance, once they pass by the singularity they enter the white hole and are eventually reincarnated back to the world they live."

Gabriel paused for a moment and continued on with his lecture.

"Fortunately for you we've made special arrangements."

Gabriel focused his sight to the pills on his hands briefly then shifted his eyes to archer

"The red pill guides you to Valhalla, the throne of fallen warriors and the blue one sends you to Avalon, The throne of fallen kings or to put it simply, heaven.

I will give you another opportunity to change your mind. If you truly wish to serve humanity and bring order to the universe, take the red pill. If you wish to abandon your ideal and seek peace take the blue pill, the choice I leave it up to you."

Without hesitation archer picked the red pill. His eyes were firing with determination

He's made up his mind and he was definitely clear with his choice.

"Well done Shiro emiya. Now swallow it. Thou shall once again serve humanity."

Well, you know what happen next

Fate Stay Night : Chronicles of archer

Heroe de justicia

Created by Velvet road

in archer's mind

"I ask of you, Thou my master?"

I sat there stunned, I don't know why, death was right upon me running away is the most sensible thing to do right now…

"I ask of you thou my master?"

"…Yes…I…am…"

I unconsciously opened my mouth, I was stunned not by the presence of death nor by the intense killing intent that surrounded me… it was the sheer beauty of the women in front that made me stuck on the ground motionless.

"Not good major! His pulse is fading!"

"Give him a dose of adrenalin! Call the crew of the 9th sector, only we have enough medical technology to resurrect him!"

"Shiro emiya, now enter the throne of heroes, you shall pass our trials there."
"oh, good to see you gokou, what might've brought you here?"

"You know he isn't ready, he failed every missions you gave him before. You know that."

"Patience gokou, in time you will see his true potentials."
