Fate Shuffled chapter 7 – advent and love

this chapter will cover the events of episodes 18-21 very loosely as I will cover parts of the episodes but make major changes to adapt the arc to Rin Tohsaka

as well as give rin her own reason for a mental break that is very different than kaede's in the shuffle anime

the break is an anime only thing, but I am using it for this frame

I will also start down the route of main couple for the finally

Shirou pov

After the events of the day, I talked to Al alone in my room and asked her "do you know if Hastur is the feeling you felt a few days ago?" Al replied with "no, it isn't I felt two beings vastly different than Hastur in that state. I can say what came out from the split could barely even be called an evil god more that just a shard of one." I can say for sure one of the two I felt likely tried to turn Sia into a vessel for Hastur but while I can't say for sure. What I can say is I am going to have to come to your school at least in your bag to check out the school." I then asked my grimoire "why would you need to do that?" she replied, "I have the feeling one or more of the fan clubs are or have been up to no good." I then asked, "do you have any idea what kind of no good?" she replied "something magic can be hidden within the school due to whatever magic defense to gods and demons added. But don't worry I can blend in much better now since I have bonded with you."

Before I went to sleep, I checked on Rin and discovered my housemate learned Sakura's cause of death was formally announced as suicide. Rin said to me "I am fairly sure that is wrong, and her grandfather did something. If she did kill herself, she was forced to. I am not sure what all Zouken did. but I know our mother was that busty or before she was given away Sakura had black hair like mine. The strange thing I Sakura has showed up a few times. There was a kid version with lilac hair and copy that shows up on the tv when Primula leaves it on. at least I think I see her." Al then said, "I have seen a strange channel called BB channel show up either when the homunculus leaves the TV on or flips through the channels."

The two girls then began to get into what either could be, and Rin used Al's conclusion about the Fanclubs maybe mixing magic. Al said "I have yet to study god or devil magic, but it took me lifetimes to blend magecraft with spells I already hold. But likely kids would need that final trigger to summon not one but two copies of your sister. It was after that I went to sleep and left the two girls talking until who knows how long. But Rin seemed extra tired in the morning.

When I went to school the next day, I met with Asa while letting Al free to wonder the school to try and see if she could find anything. Asa told me she was working on a new kind of cookie and knowing sweets weren't my strongpoint I decided to see how good she could make it and I wouldn't even try to make it a contest. But after school came and the god and devil princesses sent me on a date with Asa. I asked Sia about her sister and got "she is still is adjusting to having her own body." Nerine said to me "stop trying to deflect it is time for you to decide the person you really love." It was after that, Itsuki set me up on a date at Disney land and he even made sure to get the pass so we wouldn't have to wait in lines. The others set up everything else and even the best places to confess my love to Asa.

It was while those details were being decided, I talked to Asa about my date and Kareha was making herself all happy about us becoming a potential couple. It was after school and at the house Rin asked me "are you going to tell Asa about Artoria?' I replied "if there is a good place for it to come up yes but since Asa left town for the grail war I will leave it out for now." when I talked to Al about her first day of searching she replied "I found some possible information but when the Fanclubs were stopped from having formal meetings on campus. The teacher I hypnotized told me they found old Buddhist and Hindu texts but didn't get a good look before they were taken by somebody. He was too unfamiliar and didn't get a really good look before that." I then asked Rin what she would be doing and the reply I got was "I am going to teach her a few martial arts moves then we will play at the batting cages and try out a dance game at the arcade."

The next day, I worried myself so much between the weird two copies of Sakura and the date I had a hard time sleeping and ended up waking up late and being late to the date. As we waited and talked a bit, the other didn't realize I could see and hear them but neither demon nor god magic used self enhancement. I could even tell my friends in their so-called disguises. But they I could tell Mayumi as she forced me onto the ride with Asa and I was thankful my self enhancement helped me hold her. It was the second ride when I had to call Al to help stop the devil and god princesses' magical interference. It didn't take long for Asa to figure out and try to change the plans as during fun on the go-carts my competitive side began to come out. Then after that we did photos and then had a late lunch. With that I figured the plan should be thrown out, but I still decided to try the Ferris wheel as the sun began to set. It was during that ride I began to look at Asa much like I did was Artoria and I could even tell Asa was just as much of the tomboy as my first love.

It was during that ride; we nearly had a kiss but were interrupted by the ride stopping. After it stopped, I nearly went in for that kiss, but Asa said "it would be weird with everybody else watching. I then replied, "they have been watching all day." But all I got in for that was a slap and Asa walked away. With that I knew following the plan wasn't a good idea. Then when I got home, I could tell something was a little off with Rin, but I couldn't be sure. But I did know I screwed up with Asa. Al then told me, "I still couldn't find any cause of the two doppelgangers, but it is possible one of them got to Rin while I had to help you. But you did mess up by not kissing that girl right after you got off the ride." I replied, "I know I should've, but it wouldn't have been the same."

The next day, I woke up late again due to worrying about how I messed up and the possibility of what they Sakura clones could have done to Rin. It was only a second, but I saw the lilac haired Sakura again but now she looked like the Sakura I first met in middle school. I heard her say "thank you sempai your love is making me stronger and it won't be much longer." It was after that she vanished. But I did have flashes in my mind of a woman with hair a shade lighter than the sakura clone and wondered if she could have been my birth mom.

It wasn't much longer Al told me, something is wrong with Rin she is bursting with divinities and might get worse soon. Rin was starting to say, "I should've saved Sakura when I had the chance. I should've brought her back." But I said, "there was likely nothing you could've done in either case." I just gave her a hug and then had to leave for my make-up date with Asa. I knew I had to leave Al and Primula to help me deal with Rin if she got any worse.

At our date Kareha tried to upsell us on the big drink but I knew neither of us needed that much sugar. But it was as Asa got up, she passed out and I had to use my magic to catch her. When my potential love recovered, she was happy I caught her. Then after that I had to walk Asa home. When I got back, Al told me Rin didn't have another attack, but a third divinity showed up and I can tell this one isn't good. but before I could do anything about Rin, Asa called, and I went over to eat with Asa and her house while hoping Rin would be okay. It was over the next few day, the two of us had more fun date as I hoped Asa's body would get much stronger.

Then when I brought Asa over to the house, Rin with a crazed look attacked Asa and I tried as hard as I could but still was able to barely hold Rin back as Al came to my side and said "we need to use the chains on her fast." It was as I chained up Rin Asa fainted and gave Rin the chance to get out of the house and I ran with Asa to the hospital. Al then said, "I will try and hold off Rin as long as I can but, in her state, I will need your help very soon." I told Al "after I get Asa help I will contact you them teleport me after that."

It was after that I ran to the hospital at my highest level of enhancement and called Asa's mother Ama and then waited till she gave me the call clear and said to her "I have to deal with Rin now. her body is a battleground between three different gods. Can you please not let Asa know I did this." She replied "okay Shirou save Rin and whatever else you need to do. But you will have to come back and talk to me when you save her."

With that I called Al for a teleport to the same park I clashed with Sia. Al said "Rin is close, but we won't be able to defeat her the same way we stopped the god within Sia, but I know a way. You will have to reveal your feelings to her and open her secret garden that will be the best place we can free Rin. Through there we can enter Rin's Mindspace and fight off the evil god."

We soon headed back to my house to find Primula and she said to me "Do you know how to help Rin?" I nodded in reply and said, "I am right about to." With that I went into Rin's darkened room and said to her "I really care about you." With that Al replied, "her heart is open enough we can go in and fight." I came in to see two copies of Rin one with her normal black hair and bikini and the other with blond hair and a leotard fighting off a tentacle covered goat like creature and the blond said "I am Ereshkigal and this is Ishtar if you can help get this thing out it would be very helpful." The black-haired Rin then said "we made it easier for you to get inside here. Since you proved you could stop the yellow one." I said "I have a weapon as a long black sword showed up in my hand. I then held it in one hand and with then other pulled it from its scabbard and in a split second slashed the creature seven times and then it was sucked into a gate to I wasn't sure where. Eresh then asked me "where did it go?" I replied, "I think purgatory, but I am not sure." Ishtar then said, "Rin should be okay but the only stop that monster will involve us staying within Rin a few months at least but we can explain it more later."

With that I left Rin's mind and then went back to the hospital to find Ama on a bench and she had me sit next to her and asked, "do you love my daughter?" I replied, "I think I do but I can't be sure." She replied to me "I am sure you will know soon just try to help her however you can." With that I went to Asa's room and held her hand until the drain from my battles let sleep take me. I was sure in my sleep I was sharing the power of Avalon inside me with Asa and in what seemed like a few hours she woke me up and I asked "are you feeling better?" she replied "surprisingly I feel better than I have felt in a long time." I then told her "I would like to hold her hand as long as I could, but I have to see if how Rin and Primula are doing." She replied to me "go be the hero like you always wanted to be."

But as soon as I stepped out of the room, Sakura herself or at least the copy in the black dress said "you got rid of the only other way I came up to stop the thing the wormy old man helped bring together so you have to stop it yourself. But by the way sempai my name is BB and if you live long enough, I will see you again soon." I then asked, "what do I have to stop and where do I have to go?" but before I could get answer the Sakura copy named BB vanished and said "her name is little miss Kama and if you can stop her I will give you the location."

I then got a text with the place to learn it was awfully close to Neko's store. After a quick teleport, I made it to the location and found the members of the three different Fanclubs around a shrine and on said shrine was sitting sakura but much more mature and an out that barely covered her and demon horns on her head. Al said "we need to use the trapezohedron and fast. That is a beast about to fully manifest." I then summoned the box holding our ultimate weapon and opened it into a double-bladed sword to attack the Sakura copy known as Kama before she could even react. I just knew with every fiber of my being that being needed to die before it could destroy the city. I think BB or the counterforce or both gave me what I needed to kill the being known as Kama and knew I could learn more about what I did tomorrow.

It was after that, I made it to the house and barely said hi to Primula before telling Rin "tell our teacher I can't make it today. I dealt with too much tonight and need some sleep. Later we can deal with old man Zouken." It wasn't much longer that I woke up in my bed and didn't even remember making it there. I then asked Primula and she said "Rin carried you herself and then went to school. she told me to tell you to wait before getting the answers about the old man." So I told the young homunculus to tell Rin "I am going to eat with Ama and Asa but I shouldn't be too long."

At the hospital, I ate with the mother and daughter and learned Asa would be getting out early tomorrow due to her recovery. Ama asked me while the two of us were outside Asa's room "did you have something to do with my daughter's fast recovery?" I replied, "I just may have but don't let Asa know." She replied "I won't but you will have to tell her yourself when you can. You will have to explain to her about the kind of magic you know."

I then went back to the house to see Rin and we talked as she explained "the two goddesses said they will share my body and see through my eyes while they spend the next few months fixing my mind. They said that creature did a lot of damage even in the short time it was in my mind. We do need to deal with Zouken soon and find out want happened to prevent something like this from happen again. But first I need you to tell me what you did so far." I then explained to her what I knew about BB and the other being named Kama. But I didn't know much about either being. Al told me that BB was likely a digital incarnation of Sakura from a different place and time. then she said the being we faced was a fusion between the remains of Sakura and two divinity spirits just a hair away from becoming an evil of humanity. It was after that we made it into Zouken's house to learn what he did to Sakura and he helped a group of Fanclub members that called themselves the anti-Emiya alliance. Zouken left japan to carry out his research elsewhere after he discovered the thing he helped make was beyond his control.

It was after that I prepared to go with make my final choice and prepare to see BB again.
