"Rho Aias."

The force of the explosion propelled me into the sky.
The explosive sword barrage and the subsequent attacks failed to penetrate the Shield of Ajax, but I dispelled it to build up the momentum for my assault.
I only had one chance. Failure meant defeat.
I dodged the high-speed noble phantasms by the skin of my teeth. Each sword, ax, and spear nicked my skin and reopened my wounds, but they didn't hit anything fatal.
"Trace on." I projected Bakuya into my right hand and reinforced my limbs to their limit to speed up the swing of my blade. Bakuya cut through the wind to rid the King of Heroes of the arm holding Ea.
As the blade tasted a drop of blood, a flash of light surrounded Gilgamesh's form. Replacing that light was a set of golden armor that prevented my blade from taking his arm off. I swung downward with even more force, but Kanshou stayed in place. The armor won't budge. I summoned Kanshou as my left hand moved in a slicing motion to behead him, but—my arm won't move. No, it wasn't able to move.
I failed to account for the Noble Phantasm capable of stopping Berserker, Enkidu: Chains of Heaven.
Golden chains began to wrap around my arms, legs, neck, and waist. Before it could completely restrict my movements, I ripped Bakuya free from the armor with my right arm and threw it at his head with all my might.
The Archer-class Servant easily dodged it by moving his head to the side now that I stood in place. He backed away from me and touched the fresh wound beneath his chipped armor. He looked up at my face as his mouth moved to speak. I had no way to escape, so I could only listen.
"I shall grant you this … At this moment, you're strong."
The King of Uruk began to charge the sword of rupture to end my struggle. On the weapon, three black cylindrical sections engraved with red cuneiform markings gradually spun in opposite directions—the middle section spun clockwise, while the top and bottom sections counterclockwise.
I knew that if I took a direct hit from it, I wouldn't make it. With the chains restricting my movements, I wouldn't be able to get clear either.
I had one option left, but I knew it wouldn't be enough. Gilgamesh would dodge it again now that his guard was up.
The cylindrical sword let out gusts and red tendrils that blew back the auburn fringe resting on my forehead.
The golden Servant readied his sword, facing me with an expression akin to respect hidden under a face of hate and rage.
"It's your victory! Die with the satisfaction of facing my full might!
The faint sound of a gong and vrooming echo began to pick up in volume, nearly shattering my eardrums. The vortex of red and black grew in size as the weapon that separated Heaven and Earth locked onto my direction.
"Enuma E—"

Before the attack could finish charging, a bright, golden light appeared in my inner world. It quickly turned a vibrant blue and then a pure white as it covered everything in view.
The change was instantaneous.
We were suddenly back in our original positions at Ryuudou Temple.
. . .
The displacement created a momentary lull that caught our attention.
"—Huh?"
Gilgamesh, shocked by the sudden interruption, exclaimed, "What—"
Although we were both confused, I regained my composure a split second faster.
...
Right here, this was my opening.
I knew what I had to do.
Along with the weapon in my hand, it was the weapon I could trace the fastest.
I projected it a small distance away from Gilgamesh while he was distracted as I positioned my right hand holding Kanshou directly at his face.
Hiss
A whirling sound echoed in both our ears. An object cut through the air from behind the Servant's figure.
.

Bakuya came flying back from behind him.
As he turned, he finally realized what I had planned, but it was too late.
"Damn you, fak—"
TCH
The sword effortlessly cut through his neck as his head lopped off his body. A permanent scowl etched into his features.
It all happened in an instant. Thanks to that distraction, I beat the King of Heroes before my Reality Marble disappeared.
Hah, my body tuckered out. I just ran out of mana, too.
I looked onwards to see my opponent's severed head and body vanishing into golden motes of light.
My body felt lighter as I said in relief, "It's over."
I turned back to look for Tohsaka and Saber, but a faint ringing sound registered in my ears.
Ring
As I turned my head to look at the sound, I saw a miniature-sized ball with a bluish hue and black outline floating in front of my face. The once bright blue immediately turned a dark purple. Alarm bells rang in my head, telling me to run away. Before I could even take a step back, a violent echo erupted from the orb.
Vrumb
I didn't have time to understand what was happening when the strange object enveloped me and transformed into a large black sphere. As soon as it got a hold of me, it vanished, taking me with it.
...
AN: This is my first fanfiction, and I hope you enjoy it!
Please give constructive criticism so I can write a fun and exciting story to read. I don't own anything related to Fate/Stay Night or Jujutsu Kaisen, but the idea for this story is mine. My inspiration came from "The Cursed Armory" by MementoMori115.
Clarification:
Reality Marbles can't be directly affected from the outside, but Excalibur is an exception due to its nature as an enormous burst of mana and Divine-Spirit level energy.
The magical energy from the Excalibur blast disrupted Shirou's already disappearing Reality Marble, making it vanish a second sooner.
Shirou had no mana left, but he had one last trick that only worked thanks to the unintentional distraction Saber gave him.
Shirou knows about the attraction properties of Kanshou and Bakuya after gaining some of Archer's memories and battle experiences.
Gilgamesh could dodge Bakuya without trouble, but he was still shocked after being overwhelmed by Unlimited Blade Works and Excalibur dispersing the RM a second sooner than expected. Also, his damaged ego and anger from being bested by a human prevented him from reacting.
