Emptiness

I write this on docs and i'm a bit new to so translating it over can be kinda rough i'll try to correct it this chapter

There was a short silence between the two probably because Lalter didn't acknowledge his question over her food

Truly hunger was the enemy But so were social cues "Eh? why did...?"

No one could tell but a part of the boy broke inside himself sure he had acknowledged the fact that his Saber with the memory of what happened during the 5th Holy Grail War being here was unlikely

But the existence of Emiya was one of false hopes and dissapointment "I see...would you like more food Lalter?"

Illya had already left to tell her friends about his arrival

Whoever there were..

He smiled at her but she could feel it wasn't genuine and for some reason she had felt like she had seen him somewhere before

"No. Thank you Archer if i may can i get your true name?"

Perhaps maybe his true name would give her some insight on these feelings of nostalgia she was getting from him

But this Archer had other thoughts regrettably "Ehhh??? You don't want more???"

Honestly this happening on his first day here was quite the oddity it could be considered a miracle if you will

"Shush Boy! I asked for your true name!"

The growled with her eyes glowing gold

"You'd be wise to answer"

Despite this Lily wouldn't give her a straight answer due to Emiya having a problem with it "Jeez fine...My true name is Emiya Lily..."

A shocked look appeared on Lalter's face as she got closer to the boy inspecting him for any similarities with the Cocky Archer

"Hmmm...discounting the similar outfit your faces are nearly identical..." "...I can feel your breath on my face y'kno-"

"Is there a problem Lily?"

Truly a king of lions

"N-No ma'am..."

"It's 'Your Highness' actually"

This was not a fight Lily could win if the whole 'Lancers beat Archers' holds true...well this checks out yes?

"Aha...Okay bye now-"

Lily had attempted to leave the dining hall (without doing his dishes? smh) but sadly things are not so easy with an Altered Lion King around

"And where do you think You're going?

"Exploring the rest of Chaldea because i fulfilled your request?"

Ah it seems that Lily had not yet learned that logic didn't have any value when the king was involved

"That's not how a Kings butler should be acting"

"First day and i'm already someones butler...this feels oddly familiar..."

"Well of course...i don't have an excuse this time soo..."

Lily then proceeded to use the secret technique of the Joestars not to a good effect though considering

"YOU CAN'T RUN FOREVER BOY!!"

Lalter was hot on his tail due to his particular lack in parameters Truly being Emiya is suffering

Wonder what it's like in his mind- "FUCKFUCKFUCKFUCKFUCK-"

...i take it back my eardrums hurt

Lily took a turn into the training room where faint 'Hyah's!' could be heard

As Lalter stepped into the training room she had found the her younger younger self...yes it was twice om purpose

"Ah Younger Younger Me have you by chance seen a red haired boy"

"U-Uh no Ma'am! No red haired Bronze eyed Left arm covered in a holy shroud Boy here!"

She was visibly shaken and sweating like dog..no a puppy! a blonde nervous puppy

"Hmmm"

Arturia was starting to bubble at the mouth it she looked like she was about to pass out and not in an 'im tired' type of way, more like a 'if i sleep i might be in heaven if i wake up' type of way

Luckily miracles do happen

"Very well i shall continue to search for my personal butler"

Meanwhile literally right behind Arturia Lily

"How did i get upgraded to 'Personal Butler'????"

Again, being Emiya is suffering

But due to plo-fate leading Lalter out the door Lily could finally come out "That was too close..thank you Sabe-"

She had passed out a minute ago

"AH SABER STAY WITH ME HERE-"

Poor Arturia Lily

He was there

Where was there exactly?

The End

Now people think the end is usually a happy go ending where everyone loves each other and has a loving family

Regretably life is that easy going

It'll never be worth it, It'll never be enough, It'll always be too late And he knows this

He knows he'll die, alone and in vain

But to someone as broken as him such a life was worth living And so he polishes his blades once more

Lily had woken up from that strange dream

She couldn't make much out but she did see a gear and a man polishing his blades Maybe this dream had a meaning but who would even know...

"...Hmm? Oh you're awake! That's good you had me worried there y'know.."

Her eyes adjusted to the light she was finally able to make out what happened and where she was

"..Where am i..?"

"...We didn't leave the training room...you're just laying on my lap..."

This sudden realization made Saber Lily immediately rocket off his lap hitting his chin in the process

"Ow/Ouch!"

"A-Ah my bad..."

"..don't worry about it Saber.."

Eventually they got up afterall no matter how comfortable Saber Lily felt it was in the middle of the training room...

"Sorry about sic'ing Lalter on to you.."

"Ah don't worry about it..."

.

.

.

Wow this is awkward

"E-Erm so what's your name?"

At this point she didn't know his name nor is class probably a Saber if she had to guess... "Oh yeah! I'm Servant Archer my true name is Emiya Lily"

"Lily?!"

"Uh yes..,"

"You're my masters younger form?!"

"...Master?"

Clearly the two were on different wavelengths but nothing a quick off-screen conversation could fix...

What?

Oh fine you can have the conversation

"That guy is your master?!"

The boy really didn't know what to think on one hand he probably was a really good master on the other hand...he cannot tolerate that guy...even now

"Yes! Emiya-Senpai is a very good master...a bit harsh...but a good one!"

"A bit harsh? Yeah that sounds like him"

"Hmm..but aren't your parameters higher than his?"

"Well...Yes but as a Lily i'm severely lacking in skill and exprience in comparison to a lot of other Servants and Emiya-Senpai has both of those.."

This was the truth

But that Truth hurt Emiya Lily

How? Well Heroic Spirit Emiya's main gimmick is that he uses his everything in battle to his best advantage

This came as a result to his decades of experience

And Emiya Lily did not have a lot of skill nor experience...

"Guh...!"

His nonexistent pride had taken a huge amount of damage from an attack that didn't exist "Hey...i have an idea Saber..."

"Hmm what is it Emiya-san?"

Despite his hurt pride he could see past it

Emiya had a good point without something to make up for parameters you were practically useless

Of Course Lily had something...but now wasn't the time for that

It's never good to become reliant of a single thing

To be truly strong you would have to take into account everything you had at your disposal and use it accordingly

But this was usually stopped by 'instinct' and how if it went against using everything at your disposal

So here we have two unskilled inexperienced people Now there was only thing to do

"How about we have a mock battle?"

"Huh? Why?"

"You said so yourself, as Lily Servants we lack experience so why don't we gain some from each other?"

It was sound proposal

And it certainly won over Saber Lily

"I accept your offer Emiya-San!"

Now then...

Lets get into the action yes?

--

The two started off 5 meters away from each other

Lily had gripped an imaginary handle as he projected the married blades of Kanshou & Bakuya

"Emiya-Senpai's Swords huh.."

Saber was already aware of Emiya's suicidal fighting style which included moves and forms the would bait their oppentent into thinking they had a winning blow everytime

And in that moment they would counter attack and injure their oppenent slowly until they couldn't fight anymore

Those were the only thoughts she was able to get in before Lily had started his assault with an overedge slash coming down on Saber

She could've broken his weapons but that would wasted her energy just as much as it would waste Lily's

So instead she had decided to reflect them

In doing so Lily had ended up on the other side of the arena

"I can't put my finger on it..."

Lily had started to smirk

"But that suicidal style of his seems even more suicida-"

Suddendly the blades of Ying & Yang were thrown at her

"guh-Already!?"

She had managed to deflect the pair

Saber had know that Emiya had liked to make use of everysingle one of his blades

But Lily had just thrown them out for a chance to attack her

Emiya charged back in projecting another pair of his signuture blades attacking her attemping to get as much damage as he could

He was applying pressure to her-

Fwoosh*

She heard the sound of blades spinning in the air

The pair she had originally deflected had came back

"But how-"

She had realized that this was his plan all along and that he didn't just simply waste his blades The blades that were still mid air were targeting her it wasn't just him betting on one attack

"I see..."

He was using the blades in his hand to guide the ones that were mid-air allowing him to attack from back and front

"But how can i-"

She was stuck

She couldn't gain enough force due to due the blades constant bombardment

And she was getting nicked everytime she had failed to defend

"I only got one option..!"

Time seemed to slow for her as she called out one of her class skills

"Mana Burst!"

She hit both the blades mid-air and the ones in Lily's hands in a 360 degree motion

"Damn..!"

Lily's only option now was too back off

But Saber was already behind him

Luckily his Minds Eye caught this movement and he was able to project another pair of blades to defend

Unluckily he was send flying back he managed to gain his footing but his swords was almost shattered

"..Damn..guess it's time to get creative..!"

Lily slammed his blades into the ground utizing them as a broken phantasm made a flashing light

Saber had to look away as to not get blinded by the lightshow That was all Lily needed

Suddendly a hail of arrow shaped swords came down on Saber She had blundered by giving Lily space to utilized his bow

She had no other option but to deflect the shots she didn't even have a window to counter attack

Without realising she again had activated her mana burst

This rush of energy allowed her to close the distance

And unleash an attack of her own

He had only took a milisecond to charge this up due to her mana burst "Hyah!"

Caliburn's blade was met by two overcharged swords of Ying & Yang

The sword had cracked on impact but the fact that they were able to survive in the first place was astounding

Emiya pushed Saber back a little and continued his assault by throwing the overchaged swords at her

She was expecting for Lily to simply throw the swords because they were cracked at this range a broken phantasm would hurt him t-

The overcharged blades light up

...This would hurt

A loud boom was heard which knocked back Lily and Saber

But at this distance she'd simply just rush him again

He had no choice but to directly attack

He brought up the same pair of swords

And went for a horizontal strike with his right blade in a dagger grip position which she met with a vertical slice of her own

Bakuya on Lily's left met Caliburns blade first

Caliburn broke through with ease

At this point Lily was too close to project another weapo-

But then Lily noticed that part his white blade was still on this mortal plain

Now this was only due to sheer instinct but she couldn't stop her swing now But when when Caliburn met Kanshou it broke through

But not all the way

And now Kanshou was stuck on Caliburn

This allowed Lily to jump onto Saber's back forcing her them to the ground With the broken blade of Bakuya at Saber's neck

"Sorry Saber...but this is checkmate.."

All in an instant

But something unexpected happened They started to glow in a holy

"..."

"Hmm?! What's wrong Salter? Don't got a comeback from that?" This was said by Jeanne D'Arc Alter but unbeknownst to her Salter had felt like

"...I must go now.."

And just like that she left

"..."

"Hmm? What's wrong Ishtar?"

"Nothing...i just feel jealous right now"

"ANYWAY AS I WAS SAYING WHY DO YOU HAVE TO WATCH ME!?"

The goddess had enough with the fake prist and had started to walk away Rasputin did not care much for it though but he was ordered...

"Now Now..."

A creepy smiled crep onto his face

'Rejoice Hero...for your dream has finally come true..'
