I want to thank Sawtooth44 for been the beta of this chapter.
I do not own any of these series.
Shirou's room.
He could not sleep, how he could with all the situations that had been happening in the last 48 hours.
He could only imagine what his little brother must be feeling in this moment, the emotional shock must be something hard for him, even if he tried to be strong. The number of life changing revelations that he had in a matter of minutes was higher than what many persons receive in years.
However, as cool as it sounds, those are not the biggest problems that he has in this moment by the far. How could it be possible that the same nightmare of the grail war is happening again. All of that was supposed to be part of a distance past, but yesterday he had just saw that their past had come to hunted them.
Looking around him in his bed, he could see the three girls that he love more than his life sleeping around him, Illya is at his right while Sakura to his left and Rin hugging her sister, they didn't do any marital activities, they just want to be together in every opportunity that they had. Moreover, he could not blame them because he knew that consequences of the grail war and imagining what could happen to this world is what is keeping him awake.
For the last hours he been looking at the ceiling in his room trying to get some sleep, but he knew that that will not be possible this night, so trying to get out of the bed without awake the girls; Shirou began to move as stealthy as possible
He manage to get out of the bed and the girls are still sleep, good so far, he manage to get some clothes from his closet and look again to the bed and see that the girls are still with their eyes closed, good, now all that Shirou need is to get out of the room and all will be fine. He began to move like a cat, without a noise, each couple of steps he would look back to confirm that everything is fine, and now that he is in front of the door the only thing that he need to open it and he could..
"Where do you think you are going at this hour Shirou?" asked Rin from behind.
"Surely you aren't planning to do something dangerous alone are you?" added Illya.
"Because that would break your promise that we made to always face anything together" finished Sakura.
"So close" thought Shirou as he turns to see how the girls that he believed asleep, were sitting on his bed looking at him with a very serious expression.
"I was just going to the bathroom." Shirou
"Then why you need that change of clothes?" asked Illya.
"Well I.."
"Enough!" said Rin. "We are not in the mood to play this games and you know that what you are doing is wrong. We promised that we will face this together and here you are going out there alone again. This time will be different but only if you allow us to be there with you."
When Shirou saw the angry expression on their eyes, he knew that he had hurt them and he regret his action. Even if he had good intentions, he is hurting the girls that he love.
"You do not need to face this problem alone, this is also our fight" said Rin.
"I am sorry, but in my defense I wasn't planning to fight them"
"Really?" asked Sakura.
"I would need to know where they are to do that and that is something that I can't ignore, it's for that reason that I can't sleep"
"Then what were you planning to do"
"I was planning to go to the place where we faught to see if I can find something else. I am also thinking that maybe I should take a closer look to the near city to see if they are operating from there. So because it was just a reconnaissance mission I didn't want you to lose hours of sleep because of that"
"That is our choice to make, so from now own everything related to this war will be discussed between all of us" said Rin.
"Ok, but do you really want to come with me, it should be something easy with no danger"
"Shirou, my love, I am afraid that you are forgetting something very important" said Sakura.
"Forgetting something?"
"Yes, that your luck sucks" finished Illya.
"Face it Shirou, you could go to their wanting to take a look and you will end up facing all seven servants, that is your luck and that is something that will never change"
"You are not making me feel any better"
"We are telling you this because we care about you and for that reason we will go with you, so you can leave those clothes here and put your new armor on because we all are going to have a night walk"
And with that using their magecraft the girls put their battle armors on, seeing that he can't win this argument he also put on his new battle armor that he had in reserve because he old one was destroyed in his last battle, once all of them were ready they teleported to the place of the battle.
Time skip
They had arrived to the place of the battle and as expected members of the military guarded it, but it was nothing than their spiritual form could not handle. However, unfortunately after a few hours it was evident that they did not leave a trace to follow. For that reason, they chose for their second option and now where patrolling near the city, because they did not have any prof and do not want to take unnecessary risks, especially with Shirou's luck, they chose to remain together in case that they find an enemy.
So far, they had the same luck as in the field but that was about to change as they could feel a presence that they knew too well, a servant. Moving with caution, as silent as possible with using more magic that needed, they got on top of a building from where they could see a lone figure standing there while looking at the city.
but that is strange, because it looks like it just on top of one building doing nothing and that give them a bad feeling, like all this could be a trap.
"This could be a trap" said Illya
"I do not feel any other presence" said Sakura.
"That do not change the fact that all this could be a trap" added Rin.
"There is only one way to find out" said Shirou as he turns to the girls. "While I face her you three will surround her and keep hidden in case that this is a trap, if that is the case you will support me and we will gather all the information that we can before we escape and if by any miracle this servant is really alone we will join forces to defeat it as soon as possible, this time we are in a city and we can allow her to use her noble phantom"
Knowing that in this kind of circumstances this is really their best option they agree. Once the girls were in position, Shirou jumped and landed over a dozen meters behind the figure that happen to be woman. It was in that moment that she turned and said.
"I never expected to meet you here"
When Shirou saw her face, he was impressed by her beauty, why it was to be that all the female servants has to be so beautiful, but it there was something that his experience has taught him is that their beauty also came with great power and skill and if he leave his guard down even for a second, he will died.
"Did you come here to face me or just to look at the night view of the city?" asked Semiramis with caution, after all this is the man that was able to face their Saber on one on one battle, but there was something else, because the moment that he saw her he reacted in a way that she didn't expect, her years a queen had taught her how to read people and even if she could not see his face, she knew that he had reacted with surprise when he saw her, not as he was disappointed that she was not saber to finish their duel, but something else, almost as he saw something else.
"Actually, I was hoping that you could be my guide in this city and take to see the views, you know, I am particular interesting in secret lairs, you know the one that had villains inside them"
"You had just meet me and are already asking to court me, the young people of these days are something different from my time, but I do not believe that that is something bad" said the queen as she got ready to fight. "While I do not like or had any loyalty towards my 'partners' I still need them for the moment, but if you tell me a way to make a contact with you, I can send you their address as soon I don't need them anymore, so you can kill them all"
"Unfortunately, I know what that crazy bastard Gilgamesh is planning, and time is not our ally"
"So you know the idiot and had the same opinion about him that I had, but as I told you I had the bad luck that I still need them for the moment, so I guess that that only leave us one option, but because I like you I will made this as fast and unpainful as I can" said Semiramis as magic circles began to appears in the air. Surprising Shirou.
"Wasn't Morgan your caster?!"
"That is correct, I am Assassin, but I also had the skills of a mage of the Age of Gods."
"Oh great!" cursed Shirou as he began to evade the magic volley that were shot at his location.
"Yesterday you used a bow and arrows and later a sword; you have no right to criticize me"
"My bad" said Shirou as he keeps avoiding the attacks. A task that was getting harder as he could feel the anger of his companions, not for the shots at him but for something else.
"Is this a fight to the death or a date?" said an angry Illya thought their mental link.
"Is this your idea of a battle strategy? flirt with the enemy" said a Mad Rin.
"I am not flirting"
"Sempai, could you please give the order attack before I do it myself" said Sakura and all could feel her dark smile behind their necks.
"YOU SHOULDN'T LOSE YOUR FOCUS IN BATTLE!" a battle cry made him return to the present only to see an energy shot that he only avoids for a hair.
"By the way you can tell your friends that they can come out to play" after she says those words, she fires some energy blast to were the girls were hidden, this forced them to evade and land in different parts of the building.
"You may have surprised me when you arrived but now that you have had all my attention do you really believe that I will not be aware that you had your friends with you?"
"Dreams don't hurt" was Shirou reply.
"And talking about hurt, you better tell us what we want to know or you will learn more about the meaning of that word" said Rin joining the conversation.
"You are welcome to try" and with that answer Semiramis as she began to openly attack the girls as well and while they were avoiding all the attacks it was evident that they were having more problems than Shirou.
"Is this the best that you can do?" said Semiramis as her new targets.
"Let me show you what I can do!" said Rin as she took her pistol magic tool and shot her.
Semiramis already expecting an attack had her magic barrier ready. So, when the jewel bullets began to impact in the barrier it wasn't a surprise, what was a surprise was when her barrier shows some smalls cracks and before she could fix them a new shot from Rin pass through the cracks and made a little scratch on her face, something that made her enrage.
"How you dare!, I was planning play a little with you but now I will finish this"
Then out of their own shadows, black chains come out and trap the girls with Shirou been the only one that was able to avoid it for little.
"AHHH! release us you witch!" said Illya as she tried to free herself, the bad memories of what Gilgamesh's chains did to her servant in the past war; were present in her head only made her try harder.
"Don't bother kid, only strong servants could free themselves from those chains."
"You better release them now" said Shirou as he traces his favorite twin swords.
"Be happy, you soon will be joining them" and with that Semiramis began to use her chains to try to capture her last opponents while this time he uses his swords to block her attacks as he tries to get closer.
"Stop resisting and accept your fate" said Semiramis as Shirou keep avoiding her attacks but the truth is that she was getting worried as he was getting closer, so she began to also use a magic blast to try to slow him down enough for her chains to capture him but that didn't work as he keep avoiding her attacks, yes, without a doubt he is the warrior of their group and that represented problems for her. She was thinking about using the girls as shields but they were even now trying to free themselves and they were surprising strong and as a woman she didn't feel to use others as humans' shields.
"Damn!" said Shirou as his swords broke again after they clash against the chains and once again, he traces a new pair.
"So, it is true that he can make his own noble phantoms" thought Semiramis.
But she wasn't the only one that was having a mental conversation with herself as Shirou was doing the same. "Yes, she is focusing her attention on me, now it is my chance"
With that he throws his swords towards her face and while she uses her chains to block the attack once the chains had stopped the attack, she moves to see where he had gone, only to see more swords coming in her way.
"Absurd!" said Semiramis as she began to use her chains to stop the incoming swords but soon, she saw that more and more were coming and what it is worse she lost sight of her opponent. She knew that he was a warrior and that if she allows him to come any closer, she will be in big truble. "AHHH" with that scream she releases multiples magic energy shots in all directions destroying all the multiple black and white swords that were coming in her direction, but it was in that moment that she realizes that her opponent wasn't in in front of her, in fact she couldn't see him. He must have used the swords as a diversion, she began to search for him, but she couldn't find him.
But that do not mean that he is not here, she knew that he is a hero, so he will never abandon his friends, no, he was prowling around her looking for the moment to strike her down. She tries to focus her senses to try to find him, but she could not do it. "UP, RIGHT, LEFT" Semiramis turns her head to look for him but he was not there, that only leave one place where he could be. "BEHIND".
Turning as fast as she could be could see how that warrior was coming at her but this time without a sword in his hands, something wasn't right, but she didn't have time to think as her enemy was getting closer a great speed, so she raised her arm and pointed at Shirou shooting her black chains.
"Not this time" said Shirou as he also shot his chains, the golden chains of Enkidu, the same that he replicated from Gilgamesh and used it to keep him and the girls together that fated day when they arrived to this new universe.
Little he knows that the chains that is facing has its origin in the same land of Babylonia than Enkidu, separate only for a few centuries and that their clash will have unexpected consequences. But he didn't need to wait for that to happened when the two chains clash with each other and got tangle.
By a moment nothing happened, but them form the point where the two chains meet a golden light began to shine before a golden spark began to move towards both Shirou and Semiramis, that didn't know what was happening until the spark contacted them.
"AHHHH!" scream both.
"Shirou!" scream the girls with great concern, but soon they will be in the same condition as Shirou when the black chains that where tying them began to also change to gold. "AHHHH!" and then their world turns black.
Meanwhile
Down on the streets the people had begun to see the big explosion and energy blast that were coming from the top of a building and while lot of them chose to keep looking at it others had more common sense and called to the authorities. Some of the first responders were some of the soldiers of Mayor Kazama, and as soon as they got out of their cars they began to take control of the situation.
"Make a perimeter and keep the civilians out of it" said LT Kyouko.
"What do we have here?" asked LT Shigero
"We got some calls that describe some big lights and explosion from the top of a building, considering what happened close to here a couple of days ago we decide to investigate." Said LT Kyouko. But it that moment all seen to stop up there.
"Looks that it is over" said LT Shigero.
"Still we need to advance with great caution" said LT Kyouko.
And with that the two of them leading a group of soldiers began to go run towards the building find out what is happening.
Back to the present
Sakura is opening her eyes again after she recovered the conscience, she began to look around her and see that they were inside a blank space that had nothing, like reality marble that she had never saw and that Rin, Illya and Shirou were next to her but that wasn't all as that strange woman was also there.
"Nesan, Illya, Shirou, wake up" said Sakura as began to stand up to see if she can wake them, but in that moment, she sees how the golden chains began to materialize around them. "What is happening"
"Sakura?" said Shirou as he was awaken.
"Where are we?" asked Illya.
"Why are we tied?" asked Rin.
Said our universe jumpers' friends as they wake up, but they were not the only ones.
"What kind of sorcery is this?!" said Semiramis. Yes, she was also tied as well. "Is this your doing?!"
"Yes, because been tied with magic chains in an unknown location is just what we want" was Rin answer.
"As if someone like you could do this"
"What did you just say"
"Everybody calms down, we won't get to anywhere if we keep fighting between us" said Sakura.
"That is a good advice" said a new voice from behind them, when they turned to see who said that, only Rin and Illya could recognize him.
"Zelretch!" said Illya and Rin.
"The one and only"
"You did this?" asked Illya.
"You had to be more specific, I had done too many things"
"You know what we mean!" said Rin.
"If you are talking about how you arrive to this world, then yes, that was me and if you are asking about all you been here the answer is yes too"
"Why you!" said a mad Rin.
"While I would love to had a nice chat with all of you, but I can only keep this place for a few moments, and while the time runs slower here than in the real world, we don't have too much time, so if you excuse me, it is time that you meet each other even more" and with a sadist smile he snap his fingers.
In that moment the chains began to shine and each one of them were inside their own world, but this time they were looking at the complete lives of the others, for Shirou and the girls they already know a lot about each other's lives, but from knowning something to seeing it in person there is a great difference. But there was also the surprise when they saw Semiramis past and how Semiramis saw the past of the young heroes. The ancient queen could see how each one of them had to face a great deal of difficulties, but she was surprised to see that they come from another reality and another big surprise was when she saw all the pain and suffering that the violet haired girl suffers at the hand of their version of her master. But the big surprise come when she began to see more images from the red-haired boy, Shirou, if she got his name right, with her but that is not, she does not possible she does not remember any of the scenes that she was looking at and why that Shirou now had white hair? More images keep coming that show aspects of her person that she didn't know that exist.
After a few seconds that feel like decades the all experience ended and the golden chains disappears.
"What just happened" asked Shirou.
"You just saw the entire life of each other's, so you can know yours true nature"
"And who give you the right to do that?" asked a mad Sakura, all of them could understand while this experience was bad for her, her past was something that she didn't like to remember and been forces to do it and know that others could see it, as something that made her mad.
"I am sorry for that" said Zelretch showing a little of human emotion and that was something that many would say it was rare for him. "But in this none of us had any choice"
"You talk as if someone could force you to do something that you do not want, and we don't know of anyone who could do that" answered Rin.
"Normally that would be true but not in this case, also my time here is limited"
"And you pretend to escape without explain anything" said Illya.
"It will be to complicate to do it now, I will meet all of you and explain everything soon, around the New Year and I will not come alone, so get ready to have many guests, also bring all the people that knows about the servants it will made things easier if I only had to explain this once. By the way the queen is now under your same circumstances and I am sure that you could be friends as you have a lot in common, isn't that right Shirou? Any way you can be here for around one more hour, but when you return to the real world only a couple of minutes will had happened" and with that he disappears without trace.
"What was all this? Did he come for any specific reason?" asked Shirou.
"You know the same as us" said Rin as she turns to see Semiramis.
"Will we finish what we started?" asked Semiramis, concerns about the current situation because if they were to fight, she would be in disadvantage.
"Who cares about that?" added Illya.
"So you think that she is beautiful? Shirou" added Rin in a not to happy tone and with the expression on Sakura and Illya faces, Shirou could tell that they feel the same as Rin.
To Semiramis this was completely unexpected; they were in a mortal combat and now all the care about was that this young man believe that she is beautiful.
"Is that really important now? All I know is that all of you saw my life as I saw yours? That Shirou was a bad boy, one with good heart but still a bad boy, but it wasn't your Shirou"
"Semiramis, how do you know that my name is Shirou?"
"In the same was that you knew my real name, Shirou, Sakura, Rin and Illya"
"I had never seen you before, yet that vision somehow I knew that it was all real, how is possible?"
"That old bat of Zelretch, he must had used his second magic to show us a reality where the two of you must had meet" answered Rin.
"I have a question" said Shirou attracting the attention of all the presents. "What did he mean when he said that we are in the same circumstances?"
"He couldn't mean that we are in this place together for another hour?" asked Sakura.
"No, he would not mention something like that" answered Rin.
"That is not important, what it is important is that she knows who we are, that put our families in danger, if we do not do something, she could tell her friends" said Illya.
"They are not my friends, just because we were summoned at the same time, that do not make us friends, if possible, I would like to leave them, but I do not want to hunt humans for their mana to sustain my existence as a heroic spirit" answered Semiramis. "And if you believe that I will go down without a fight the you are sorry mistaken, and I will show you the true power of a Queen"
"Wait, we do not need to fight" said Shirou.
"But we can let her go back, that will put others in danger" added Illya.
"I don't think that that is case anymore" said Rin, attracting the attention of all the presents.
"Are you trusting her now?" asked Sakura.
"What made you believe that I will consider anything that you want to say" said Semiramis to show her position as a Queen.
"All of you remember what we did just after we arrived to this world, just after that old vampire wrote us that note on the ground?" Asked Rin as she looks at the others.
"Do you mean when we tried our magic circuits for the first time here? What that does had to do with all this" said Sakura.
"Because that was the only time that that old vampire made contact with us, that was when we discovered the bound that join us, and if he appears after all this time is very likely that it had to be similar to that time"
"Then do you mean .." said Illyas as her eyes got bigger.
"That he did the same with her" finish Sakura.
"It cannot be" said a shocked Semiramis.
"There is only one way to find out" said Rin as a serious look on her face told the others, even Semiramis, that she means business. "Everybody just likes that time active your magic circuits and focus on them, see if you feel different"
With that all of them do as Rin said while Semiramis look at them, with an impassive looks on her face, wondering what all this was about. But them she began to feel something touching her magic circuits, so she decides to do the same and for her surprise he could feel these four people presences inside her, but that is impossible.
"What kind of sorcery is this" asked Semiramis.
"You are asking the wrong persons, that old man did the same to us and we still do not know why" said Illya.
"But link our magic circuits should be impossible"
"We know, but still haven't found an answer to that." Said Rin.
"He said that he will be coming to explain some things in our home in the new year, so I guess that we will be have to wait and see" said Sakura.
"But what all this means for me, even if I feel your presence in my magic circuits, I do not feel any mana coming from any of you, that means that I am not your servant" said Semiramis.
"Wait a minute" said Shrou as he walks towards her.
"Stop, what do you want" said Semiramis as she gets ready for an attack even if she sees that that man had no hostile intentions.
It was in that moment that Shirou stop just in front of her and retract his battle helmet, allowing Semiramis see his face for the first time, she had already seen it in those memories, but she saw when all of them were linked with the chains, but this face was different but the same. The face of her memories was serious, lonely with white hair, but this one even with the same face she could see the difference and it wasn't only his red hair, she could see his gentle spirit and a small smile, oh how many times she wanted to see him smile that way. WAIT A MINUTE, she had never seen this man before and now he has awakened this kind of feeling in her, that is absurd she is a mage from the Age of Gods and a queen and now this man is made her feel like a damsel, that doen't make sense and she will show him that she is a queen for a reason.
"I promise you that I will not fight you and that I have no hostile intention towards you, so could you please allow me to get close to you" said Shirou.
Semiramis only nodded, damn those memories, this is not fair, it wasn't even her in those memories so why she had to have those emotions when she saw him.
Shirou got in front of her and took one of her hands, something that Rin and the others didn't like but they knew that Shirou was planning something.
"You have a pulse" said Shirou as he releases her hands, surprising the girls with those words. Them he walked behind Semiramis, that this time didn't said anything to stop him. Once he was behind her he places his hands on her shoulders, Semiramis could feel her hands on her, she knew that he could kill her right now but for some reason she knew that he wouldn't.
"IIK" was the surprise noise that Semiramis did when Shirou lower his head and place one side of his face against her back and because the design of her dress that means that it was a situation of his skin touching her skin. "Shirou!" for some reason she said his name.
"Your heart is beating" said Shirou as look at the other. "Is this normal for heroic spirits?"
"No, it is not" said Illya, "But how did you know?"
"Because I didn't feel any difference between us and Semiramis"
"But what is the meaning of this" asked Semiramis wanting to know what all this was about.
"It means that you aren't a spirit anymore, you are as alive as any of us" was Rin answer.
For Semiramis this was a big surprise, she is alive again and she no longer need to receive mana from that old Matou bastard and his followers, she is free, and she can do all that she wants now. But that leaves her with a few problems, she knew that the other servants will not leave her alone especially if they know what happened to her, with how interested Morgan was about this topic, the other problem is that she did not have the resource to have a good life here.
"Would you like to come with us?" asked Shirou
"What?" was the others reaction, even Semiramis.
"Are you serious?" asked Illya.
"She got involved in all this in the same way that we did, also she will want to hear the same explanation as us in the new year and we can't just leave her alone now that she is alive, but more important is that I believe that she is a good person"
"Me? A good person, I don't know if I should laugh or feel offended, when was the last time that when someone ever said something like that to me and why I feel happy about that?" thought Semiramis. But it was in that moment that she remembers something.
"Sorry to disappoint you but you are forgetting that the other servants will keep looking for me if I do not show myself soon, if they believe that I escaped they will all come after me, and if they learn that I am now alive that damn Morgan will use me in experiments" said Semiramis.
"Them all we need to do is made them had no reason to look after you" said Rin, knowing that Shirou hunches are almost always on the money.
"And how do you plan to do that" asked Semiramis.
"By killing you" said Rin and when she saw how Semiramis was getting ready to fight she continue. "Or better said, we make them believe you are dead"
"Do you have a plan?" asked Sakura.
"We still have time before we can leave this place where that damn old man placed us so what about if when we return to where we were, we make a scene to make them believe that you died in combat."
"And how we do that? They could still feel my presence." Said Semiramis.
"No, they can no longer feel your presence unless you are close to them, after all you are now alive" said Rin, that information indeed surprise Semiramis." Also do you remember what that old vampire told us, the time here runs slower that in the normal world, so when we return to the real world Shirou could shoot the same attack that he did in the last battle, because your presence will be different they will no longer be able to feel it and after they see that attack they will come to the conclusion that you meet Shirou, had a battle and died in that attack"
"Using Excalibur in a city will be dangerous" pointed Shirou.
"Not if you shot it towards the sky" added Rin.
"This could work" said Illya.
"But you need to shoot as soon as we return to the real world, otherwise they might believe that something is wrong"
To Semiramis it was strange to see how the same people that she was fighting against just a moments ago were now planning a way to help her. She didn't know what motivate them, but she decided that a goodwill gesture could help her. So, she began to walk towards one of the girls.
"Sakura? Isn't it" I had something to tell you.
At the bottom of the building a moment later
A group of soldiers were about to enter the building after they made sure that it was clear of civilians. The leader was about to give the order to get in when they feel a great power coming from the top of the building and by reflex they look up and by a moment they do not see anything, but a moment later a golden blast of magic energy could be seen been shoot towards the sky from one side of the building, it was a majestic view that all of them had already see a couple of days ago, and that can only means something.
"The phantom blade must be there fighting with someone" said LT Shigero.
But before someone could say anything else, they saw two figures using the flying magic leave the building towards some place in the city. Knowing that the situation had changed he hurry up to take action.
"We will divide in two groups, I will follow them with half of the squadron, Kyouko you take the other half and go to the top of the building, but do not fight them, just gather information and if you see that a confrontation is about to happen you will withdraw, it is a shame but if the phantom blade is there you will not had a chance to win if the situation become hostile."
And with that all the soldiers activate the CAD's in their belts that had the magic sequence to fly, half of them followed LT Shigero that chased after the two figures that headed towards the center of the city while the LT Kyouko began to fly toward the top of the building, once she arrived to the top of the building, she manages to see three figures with their backs towards her.
"Stop right there" ordered Kyouko, but just before her eyes the figures turn into sparks of light and they disappear.
"Shigero, Kyouko here, there was three persons here, but they use that teleportation spell to leave this place" said Kyouko over the radio.
"Copy that, began to collect evidence to see what we can find there, I will report what the situation as soon as something happen".
A few minutes before.
"What did you say?!" asked a surprised Sakura after she heard what Semiramis had just said, and she wasn't the only one Shirou and Illya were as well, but more than they were, Rin that could only imagine what her sister must be feeling.
"Matou Zouken is the one that the GAA designate as my master and he is in this city right now" said Semiramis. "I know that this Matou Zouken is different from the one from your universe but from what I could see from those visions, both Matou Zouken have a rotten soul, this one betrayed his country and went to his homeland enemies in exchange of power and resources to make those terrible experiments that the GAA allow him to do, as a Queen I can't stand the existence of that kind of man. In this moment he is with the No Head Dragon syndicate, that are responsible for all the incidents in those kids' games"
Everyone turns to see Sakura to see her reaction, hoping to get a clue about what they could to help her after that revelation. For a few moment Sakura had her head down, her hair covering her face now that she had retracted her helmet, but then she rise her hear allowing them to see her eyes full of fire, but unlike past events when that fire was one that represent passion, this time they could see a pure furry beyond anything that they have ever seen in the gentle girl.
"Where are they?" said Sakura with a could voice.
"The Plaza hotel that is in the center of the city" was Semiramis answer.
"Ok, everyone could you please go ahead, I will see you at home in a couple of hours"
"Sakura, you do not need to do it alone, we are here for you, for everything, good or bad we will always be there for you" said Shirou.
"I know, but this is something that I need to do alone, just please after this please do not hate me from what I am about to do"
"There is nothing that you can do that will make us hate you" said Shirou as he walked towards her and hug her, been follow by Illya and Rin.
For Semiramis this was strange, under normal circumstances this spectacle will cause her displease, but for some reason she liked it, it was completely different from the others that she was summoned with, it feels almost like when she was happy with her family.
"I will go with you, please let me be with you as I should had in the past and I promise to not interfere and not let others interfere with you" said a serious Rin.
Sakura look at her for a few moments before she nods, then after a couple of minutes the space that Zelretch created for this meeting disappeared. By that moment Shirou already had taken Excalibur from his own reality marble and without wasting time he releases his attack for the second time in these few days.
" ! ! "
And the night turned day for the time that the attack lasted, amazing and scaring all the people that were looking at it. But more important is that because the changes that Semiramis suffered in that space, she no longer had the presence of a servant but something else and because her presence disappears while this attack happened, all her former associates will believe that they lost their assassin servant.
After that Sakura and Rin activate their fly magic and headed to finish this personal matter with Matou Zouken. Illya and Shirou saw them leave while wishing them good luck, Shirou offer to help Semiramis to take her home, while she also could teleport, she didn't know where they are going so, she accepts the offer, for some reason it was easy for her to trust this man. In that moment that they leave vanish from that place, the squat of soldier arrives only so see them disappears in sparks of light.
While this was happening.
A group of criminals known as the No Head Dragon syndicate were in the elevator, hoping to get to the underground parking so they could escape. All had begun when there contact with the GAA, Matou Zouken and his group of followers had felt how their magic power was been absorbed and by now, they knew that that means, that damn servant was using her magic without permission. To Matou Zouken becoming the master of the assassin servant had been a disappointment but necessary task, but then again, all the events of her life in the last years had become one disappointment after another. He was forced to escape from his country, not that he cares more about it, but the loss of all his experiments was something that he cares. The fact that he was now a wanted criminal in all of Japan forced him to go to another place where he knows that he won't be bothered for his experiments if he shares some of his results with them. With the past few years, thanks to his expertise and magic power and the fact that he knows more about the masters clans and Japan society he was offered the opportunity to become a master of one of the servants that will make the GAA the rulers of the world and with that he was offered a great reward and the opportunity to get his revenge against all the people that had humiliated him, but that damn servant looked at him like all the others fools that do not understand the greatness of his experiments, just because she was a stupid queen from the past.
But now the fact that she was taking his and his servants magic powers means that she is using magic, when he saw through the window where the meeting was taking place all those blasts of magic energy, he knew what was happening, a battle, and when that golden blast of energy illuminate the night sky followed by the disappearance of his servant presence that could only means that she died and now he had to escape once more.
Thankfully he could do it fast as their cars were in a private part of the parking close to elevators, or at least that is how it was supposed to happen, because just after they come out of the elevator he feet a killer intent unlike anything that he had felt before directed towards them, or even more specific he could feel that all that killer intent and hate was directed right at him.
It was in that moment when he turned back to see the source of that power that was promise death, he saw it, a couple of figures wearing a battle armor, women by the look of their figures but more important is that one of them is bringing up magic so strong that you can see it with the naked eye in the form of a blue fire that surrounded her.
But it was her next words that convince him that he had lived his final day.
"Matou Zouken, I had come for you!"

About some light novels, these are some of the best that you will find:
To Be a Power in the Shadows!
The World of Otome Games is Tough For Mobs
Both novels have a manga version. Both are about a person that died and reincarnate in a magic world. I know that there are many stories like that, but what made them special is what the main character do with his new life.
On To Be a Power in the Shadows!
The main character is some one that only care about money and follow his desires but no matter what crazy and selfish thing he does for his own benefits, he always ended as the hero, even if he do not want to be one.
On The World of Otome Games is Tough For Mobs
The main character that is a low lever noble want to get rift of his noble status to have a normal life, but he ended getting promote instead.
I recommend you to see the manga of these two stories, if you like them you can find the novels.
