The Fate/stay night visual novel has different endings, including like 40 dead and bad ones

Reisi and Archer continued chatting away with Reisi's family, blissfully unaware of the last fingers of flame across the sky fading to black.

"One of my students, he got into a heated argument with another and fists began being thrown," Archer was saying.

Kohaku put a hand over her mouth. "Goodness! I hope it ended quickly!"

"One of my friends had come over that day and he helped me to pull them apart."

"What caused them to fight?" Aoi asked.

"They had some well-known parents so they argued over who had the better parents." It was a rare fight between Achilles and Patroclus. They made up shortly after Archer and Pholus separated them. "Those two quickly became friends again."

"I'm glad to hear they made up," Kohaku said. She glanced at Reisi and Taishi. "These two often fought as kids. Taishi would usually be the one to start it."

Taishi rubbed the back of his neck. "Are you gonna bring up more embarrassing stories, Mom?"

Reisi shot his brother a smirk. "I seem to recall always winning."

"Only because I let you! You're five years younger than me!"

"So crying was also part of letting me win?"

"I only cried once!"

"So you won't deny that part?"

"It happened like 18 years ago! How do you even still remember that?!"

"Ah, a family gatherin'. How lovely. Just makes me wanna throw up everywhere."

A new voice. Everyone's head instantly snapped to the house's door where the voice had come from. There was a black-haired man, golden amber eyes glittering with amusement that it took them this long to discover him. The door wasn't even open; it was like he had walked through it.

Taishi stood up from the table and marched over to the mystery man. "Hey, you can't just enter someone else's home!"

"Brother, wai -" Reisi started to stand up, but the man grabbed his brother by the throat with one hand and used his katana to block an arrow from Archer with the other.

Archer had three more arrows notched in his bow. His Servant clothes were being worn instead of his casual ones. "Release him right now, Servant!"

"As you say." Assassin then proceeded to chuck Taishi at the back wall with all of his strength. Reisi released his Sanctum, catching Taishi in time and using his aura to lighten the impact. The rest of the family began to panic, ignoring the fact Reisi and Archer clearly aren't ordinary humans. The intruding Servant began running at them, but some of Archer's arrows sunk into his body and knocked him down. He threw his wakizashi at Aoi, who came at him with a frying pan, and impaled her neck, pinning her to the wall. Her eyes were wide, choking on blood and no words able to come out, only wheezing. At that Kohaku, Umi, and Kai began screaming. Jirou was frantically looking around for a safe escape route.

"Aoi! Let me go, Reisi!" Taishi was struggling as hard as he could against his brother's hold.

"I won't let you die too!"

"You don't even have a damn wife so you wouldn't know how this feels!"

That shocked Reisi for a moment, so he didn't process that it was Assassin who said "If ya miss her that much you can join her."

Archer came at Assassin, going to use his bow to rip the bastard in half. "That's enough out of you!"

The dinner table went flying at the bowman. He cut through it with no effort, but it distracted him enough for Assassin to slip past, his katana entering Taishi's mouth and emerging out the back of his skull. "That should shut you up." Reisi had been in too much of a daze at Taishi's words and was now in shock that his brother's blood was on him. Assassin was about to cut the young man's head off when screaming from the mother and two children got his attention. He groaned. "You people don't know how to be quiet, do ya?" He turned to them but quickly had to block Archer's bow. A rare moment of anger was on the man's face.

'I need a little help here, Master!' Assassin was practically being forced up against the wall.

'I thought you said you didn't need help.'

'I'm up against a goddamn Knight Class here!'

A chuckle over the link. 'Very well. By my Command Seal, fight beyond your limits!'

Assassin grinned, no longer being pushed back and in fact starting to force Archer to inch back. He managed to detach and jump back from Archer, holding his katana in both hands.

At that time, Reisi recovered and put up a dome of his aura around Archer. The centaur held his bow in a guarding position then his eyes went wide. "No!"

"Looks like ya realized too late!" Assassin sneered as he swung his sword down. The blade easily passed through the shield, Archer's bow, then finally Archer's shoulder, the arm hitting the ground in a spray of red. Another scream and Assassin grit his teeth.

"Shut the hell up!" He flashed to the kids, holding them up with each hand by the top of their heads. His hands tightened and their skulls were crushed as easily as crushing grapes. Kohaku let out a shriek, taking a step back. Assassin let go of the kids, pulled out his katana, then effortlessly sliced her to pieces. Jirou soon followed after he jumped at the blood-covered killer.

Hooves smashed into him, sending him crashing through the wall. "What?!"

Reisi walked outside where Assassin had been sent, someone following him.

"How long can you keep this form up?" The King asked the person.

"Because of your Command Seal it should be for a little over ten minutes."

The dust cleared, revealing the person. It was Archer, but he didn't look the same. While his head and torso were the same, he had the lower body of a brown-furred horse.

"A centaur...You're Chiron then!" Assassin spat out as he stood up, his katana at the ready.

Green eyes narrowed. "I don't like having had revealed my True Name, but you're a menace with your parameter boost. This will more than even the playing field."

Reisi had his hands in fists, blood dripping from his palms and blue blazing around him the hardest it ever had, like a blue wildfire. The glare on his face alone should have killed someone. "You'll learn the hard way you shouldn't have even laid a hand on my family!"

Assassin grinned. "Aw, did I make you upset?"

The instant those words left his mouth hooves smashed into his back and slammed him into the ground, breaking the earth up. "Learn to shut that mouth of yours."

A laugh from Assassin after he managed to pull away about a dozen meters from Archer. He was bleeding in a few areas. "Is the teacher upset?"

"Shut your fucking mouth!" Blades of blue aura were launched from Reisi. Assassin blocked most but some got through, slicing him down to the bone.

"Stupid human -"

Archer hooked his right arm around the front of Assassin's neck, flinging him all the way to the road then over it. Assassin rolled to the side in time to avoid several spear of blue aura coming down to impale him but almost got his skull crushed by a hoof. Blood was rapidly attempting to get in his eyes.

'Fuck! Master, I need another boost!'

'...Fine. But on the condition that you bring me the Blue King's right arm.'

'Won't be an issue then.'

Archer was about to throw a punch, but Assassin caught it, shocking the centaur. "I won't let you two throw me around anymore!" His foot collided with Archer where flesh met fur and the centaur was knocked meters back.

"Archer!" That was all Reisi got out before a hand closed around his throat. This grip was unlike anything he ever felt. Assassin was fixing the King with a stone-cold look. Pain assaulted him and his right arm hit the ground

"I'll be taking this," the Servant said, foot gently resting on the Command Seals. "And it looks like you lose."

Archer had just gotten up when a crack resounded and Reisi's body went limp. "Master!"

"You can have this piece of shit back!" Assassin threw the Blue King at Archer. While Archer caught his Master Assassin escaped in spirit form.
