The unconscious Shirou see himself into his mindscape, he is surrounded by swords, the kid walks, he somehow knows he is unconscious, but he can't wake up, he see the endless swords, some, ones he saw on museums and movies, one was Taiga´s shinai.

But most were recorded on his reality marble during the holy grail war, during all alternate versions of it, the massive treasure from gilgamesh, and a couple of noble phantasms from other enemies, in the landscape, on a hill, his most uncommon and rare items lay, on both sides, both giant divine constructs he reproduced on his fight with the blonde girl with gilgamesh "class card", his memories of the event sound strange, too many lives mixed.

As it goes up he see other servant weapons, weapons he did see being held by servants personally, or through peeking at battles, near the top he could see Zelretch Jeweled sword, a sword that remembered him of Rin, and rule breaker, that helped him save Sakura, both were precious, as Taiga´s shinai, that was there too.

At the top, Caliburn sheathed on a luxurious scabbard and Excalibur, inside Avalon, both at the peak of the hill side by side, a empty space in the middle, his last sword still didn't exist, his most precious treasures were his memories from her, from Saber.

As Shirou walked through his inner world, he did see now the swords and spears from the Udug Huls, they were now the first weapons he witnessed on the new universe, not noble phantasms, but high quality futuristic weapons, with some story and weight.

The kid suddenly heard a familiar voice calling him, it was Rin, he could hear the trembling of her voice calling him, he could hear Saber too, both were calling him through the connection.

"Emiya-kun! Emiya-kun!" Says a hysterical Rin.

"Shirou... I mean... Master, can you hear me?" Ask a solemn Saber.

"...Yeah... I´m sorry for not calling earlier, I was... Kind of dead is a complicated story, i´m fine now... But I was mostly dead a while ago, and i´m not exactly on Fuyuki now." Answer a surprised Shirou.

"What do you mean? I felt our connection weaken, I thought you died, I found nothing on the place you fought Gilgamesh, only a crater! What happened?!" Says Rin trying to control her happiness from hearing his voice on the link.

"Calm down... I was devoured by the grail with Gilgamesh... But, somehow, I could resist being dissolved... It's A long story but I died and was devoured by the grail not only this time, but in many... Time lines, we don't win on most of the possible futures of the war..." Shirou tries to calm her nerves.

"Yeah... Figures..." Answer a still worried Rin.

"All the remnants of the souls of the other Emiyas converged on me and fused with me, I have memories of all these alternate ways our war could happen... And I peeked at other wars too... All girls are connected to the root, so I could see a lot, as I tried to keep myself from vanishing..." Says Shirou trying to give her context.

"...That seems an interesting tale, but you can tell us when you get back..." Says Saber, butting in.

"...Listen... A lot of things tied to me fused in one place... I kept myself together, and with help from Illya and Sakura, not sure if from our time line... " Shirou continues.

"Illya is gone here, you know it, Sakura is here with me, she would tell me if something like that happened..."Says Rin.

Shirou nods, understanding that it was not "his" Sakura, not "his" Illya, but they still were there for him, and their "Shirou" was now part of him anyway.

"Their connection with the grail, helped me somehow escape, I was spit on by the root... I'm in another universe, not one of our time lines I think, too weird... I'm a patchwork of souls here, none of my souls went through it undamaged..." Says Shirou.

"Are... Are you really ok? I... Will try to get help from the association if possible, I am still the first owner..."Says Rin.

"Not sure if it will work, on another timeline, i projected the jeweled sword for you, with Illya help, can you imagine it? Zelretch got interested in you after that... We could have his help if we had done it..."

"... W-What? Why didn´t i thought about it?" Rin gets flustered.

"...You did, just not on our timeline... Your other self was smarter I guess..." Shirou jabs.

"...So it might be more difficult for you to come back?" Saber interrupts.

"I´m full of damaged magical circuits and have a lot of spare command spells, plus all the magic crests from father that were eaten by the curses seem to have bound with me, and Rin´s crest. I might be able to summon Saber with the command spells I guess? But there's no opposite path available, not without Zelretch."

"...Not yet... I... Need to settle things..." Says Rin

"Settle things?" Shirou seems confused.

"I promised Archer I would keep an eye on you, if there's no way for you to come back... I'm going there too!" Rin said flustered.

"...Here is a dangerous place Rin, i´m not even sure if i will survive the situation i'm in, i got already into trouble, sorry, i know you will lash at me, but i´m unconscious right now, i might be killed any time, probably only survived due to Avalon." Says Shirou, accepting.

"No... You big idiot..." Rin protests

"Even so... You have a bright future as a mage, you will learn a lot from the association, you can do anything Rin." Shirou says, touched by her resolve to be with him.

"I can improve my magecraft anywhere, i´m not letting you alone, you are a idiot and you might kill yourself. Once I make preparations, i´m going there with Saber. Just give us some time. What can you tell about the place you are in?" Rin asks with worry on her words.

"It seems to be earth, like our earth, but... It's like a post-apocalyptic wasteland, it has bizarre superhuman soldiers, some sort of war happening, and lots of futuristic weapons. I saw a laser rifle and a plasma gun."

"..Seriously?" Rin blinks, shocked.

"Yeah, one of them kicked me unconscious, and I was reinforced... It doesn't help the fact i´m on a child too..." Shirou let slip.

"What?!" Rin fell on the sofa.

"From all "Shirous'' being digested by the grail, only the youngest one still had a body for our souls use i guess, but mine was the one that was in better shape and become the core, it was a version of me that Kiritsugu didn't found on the big fire. I'm in my seven years old body." Shirou tries to explain.

"That 's... Horrible..." Rin says in shock.

"Yeah I know, I can call you Obaasan now you know?" Shirou jabs, to take her thoughts of that.

"I´m gand'r your ass!" Says a enraged Rin.

"They called the soldiers "Udug Hul", and they were freaky strong, they saw me use Rho Aias..." Shirou slips again.

"Don´t you have to hide magecraft or something like that?" Ask Saber.

"I had to defend myself from one of the plasma shots... They said something about "psyker", it seems they did see magecraft before or something similar, if you can find anything... I'm having trouble with their language, it remembers latin, but is weird." Interjects Shirou.

"I will try, I might get Taiga to help me, with that internet... Things... I will hypnotize her later and erase her memories. I need someone that knows how to use a computer. Maybe Issei?" Ponders Rin.

"...Might work, if we get any reference, might help, they seem to reuse a lot of ancient stuff, even being in the future, it's weird... Oh, the history of weapons says something about the "dark age of technology", it sounds ominous... Oh, i´m about to wake up... Have to go..." Says Shirou as his consciousness slowly returns.

"W-Wait, i still have questions!" Rin tried to interject.

"Might have to fight for my life, maybe we will talk later... If I survive... Bye!" Shirou says before his consciousness fully returns.
