Chapter 5: The Impact
Gilgamesh won the fight with help from Angra Mainyu. What surprised me was that the enemy servant was capable of turning into a divine construct that was fully capable of destroying anything in its path.
The servant will most likely reincarnate in a few months due to how strong it was, which is frightening due to it being able to prepare for the fight better this time. Guaranteed if Angra Mainyu didn't interfere with the fight and disable the divine construct I would've lost Gilgamesh.
Karna saw the fight himself as well, and he realized that he also needs to get stronger due to the strength of that Servant. The general question now is.. Who is that servant?
Now, when I look through a servant's eyes or even normal human's eyes, I can't hear what they're hearing. I can only go based off of reading their lips. It seemed as if that Servant knew who Gilgamesh was, and it's almost as if they were holding back even against Gilgamesh.
If I look into Gilgamesh's history the only person that Gilgamesh was actually friends with was Enkidu, but I doubt that Enkidu is even in this grail war. If he was, then I would think that Gilgamesh would at least remember him even though he's altered to a severe amount.
Gilgamesh is resting in the forest that they fought at while Angra Mainyu returned almost immediately. Angra Mainyu looked very accomplished as if he's the strongest in the world right now.
"Master! Master! Master! I beat him! I beat him!" Angra Mainyu was practically shouting at me. I don't blame him to be honest. He was known as the weakest servant but now that I summoned him, he easily turned into a strong servant even compared to a servant like Muramasa.
"Congratulations Angra." He's known to be evil, yet for some odd reason he's such a high energy person that it's hard to think of him as evil.
"Master. What are we going to do with Kiritsugu now that he's lost Muramasa? Are we going to send him out on his own?" Angra asks with a polite tone instead of his usual high energy.
I'm actually not sure what to do with him now that he's already lost Muramasa in one single day! If we throw him out, the master of Sakura will most likely be able to steal Richard but will he actually want to do that?
"Let's keep him for now. We can use him for bait later." I smirk. I could care less about Kiritsugu as I only have one goal in mind in this war. I won't reveal that goal to the servants though, as I don't want them to betray me.
"I'm allowing somebody else to summon Muramasa in a few years. Kiri will most likely summon him due to him being another Emiya." I spoke the truth when I said that. Having three Emiya's on his side would be quite a feat, but then again with him having Bam on his side it's dangerous for him to also have a third Emiya.
"Master. Do you think Kiri would ever be allowed to have me as his servant?"
"Of course not. You're far too strong for him to have you as a servant. The only reason I have you as a servant is because I'm a god-tier mage." I laughed out loud. I was slowly becoming tired due to being up for two days straight.
My whole body is fatigued and I think it's finally time for me to go to sleep. "Angra, Karna, Gilgamesh when you get here. Protect me. I am going to sleep."
"Yes master!" They all reply as I walk into the bedroom and lie down on my bed peacefully. It felt nice to finally be able to sleep.
Dammit! Dammit! DAMMIT! It's so hard for me not to scream at that wimpy master named Fujimaru! I was selected to take a seat up there with god, and he gives me a weakling of a servant?!
Why did I even agree to the contract? I bet if I went against Muramasa with Richard alone, I would've won easily! Muramasa wouldn't even use his noble phantasm against that damn lancer!
I never even got to learn that servant's true name.. What a let down! Now, I am very pissed off. I really just lost Muramasa in less than a day!
Other than that, I hear people walking around. It's possible that Fujimaru is finally going to sleep. Correct? If that is the case, then I could risk it and attempt to kill him… Yeah! I'm really going to try to do that... Actually no, that isn't a good idea. He has way more servants than me and I'd be at a disadvantage against him.
I hear somebody knock at my door. It was gentle knocks and not hard knock so I'm assuming that it's a female knocking at my door.
I walk up to the door and open it as fast as I could, implying that I'm angry, but for some reason there was nobody there.
Am I going crazy? It is a possibility with how angry I was. As I was standing at the door though, a knife got stabbed into my chest. The stab came from behind me, but I couldn't turn around quick enough to see who stabbed me.
Dammit.. Is this the end for me? For what purpose did all this happen? Why do I fight? Why..?
I see a person in the distance. The person is Kiritsugu Emiya the first. Why is he here of all times..? Moments later, he disappeared from my sight… I see now, this is an illusion.
"Goodbye.. Kiritsugu.." I heard voices in my head now. It was a little girl speaking, what in the world is this?! I'm going crazy!
I feel like I'm about to fall to the ground, but I remain on my feet. As soon as the person takes the knife out of my chest, I turn around while swinging my arm.
Somehow, even after I got stabbed I can still move as if nothing happened. The person that stabbed me wasn't a servant, nor was it a master. It was just somebody here.
"Huh?!" I punched her, making her fall onto the ground. It was someone with white hair, dressed in all black. I couldn't see her eye color or anything else. All I could see was white hair and dressed in black.
"There are.. Many people after your life.. Be warned.. This is where the true war starts.." The girl fell unconscious after saying that. What the hell did she mean by that? "Saber! Let's go!" We ran out together.
That's when I realized, we weren't in the castle anymore. Where were we?! "Saber, do you know where we are?!"
"No! I have no clue!" We continued to run through the thin hallway. I couldn't look back.. I couldn't look back.. I couldn't look back!
That's all I could tell myself while running down the hallway.
While running down the hall, someone was right at the exit. Staring at me with a stare that looked like it was from the devil himself. The person looked familiar. They had dark eyes with yellow pupils, as they were dressed all in black.
That's all that I could make out. I didn't care who he was, I didn't care what he was, and I sure enough didn't care the reasoning that they had me locked up. I knew I had to kill no matter the reasoning.
"Saber. Can you beat him for me?"
"Of course master."
Arrows got shot from Richard's shadow at the man standing in front of us. Yet they were all hit back towards us with a small dagger that wasn't even noticeable until he swung it.
"Kiritsugu the second.. For what purpose did you kill me in the real world..?" The person asked me. I didn't understand what he meant at all.
In the real world, I was a complete geek. There's no way I could've killed someone right? The only death the blame got put on me for is my twin sibling that died while still in the womb.
That's when it hit me.. This is my twin sibling. Looking more at him, he looks exactly how I looked before god turned me into Kiritsugu the second.
"Why.. Why are you here?!"
"Don't you realize it by now?! I died and got reincarnated as a servant! I'm an alter-ego servant! My true name is Rmio Aieym!" I didn't understand him at all. When he said his name, it was almost as if he was speaking some foreign language.
"What..?" I charged towards him, attempting to punch him but his eyes changed colors from a yellow pupil to a red pupil. This allowed him to control the gravity around him, pushing me back so hard that I fell down and hit my head on the floor.
"Brother.. Why! Why did you do it!"
"I didn't mean to kill you! Richard! Use your noble phantasm!" I know, I'm a foolish master telling my servant to use his noble phantasm so much. Now that I realize it, the reason Muramasa died is because I told him to use it and the enemy servant counteracted with his own.
I'm a failure of a master, but I'm willing to work up to become a great master!
"Excalibur!" He used Excalibur, destroying the room that we were in, and also completely erasing my brother out of existence. I was amazed at this outcome of course, and I realize that I need to work on myself.
If i don't work on myself, I'll end up being a failure of a master, which I need to win this holy grail war. There's only one wish that I have as of right now, which is to bring my brother back to me!
AN: Alright, so I do have an actual Author's note for the next "chapter" but I do want to state this in this chapter as well. Me spelling it Rmio Aieym for his brother is intentional as it's his brother's name but scrambled up sort of. Also, I hope you enjoy the little early development for Kiritsugu Emiya the second :)
