Great Timeline Changes:

The Unification wars ended 96 years earlier, besides that all events besides the primarchs birth were speed up, kickstarting a earlier crusade.

Illya POV

Since the holy grail war ended, and Shirou onichan died in the grail cave after destroying it i can´t sleep well. I lost the grail, the Einsbern expelled me from home for the failure, the loss of grail meant i had lost my value. Fillia, Leysritt and Sella left with me, i´m dying, and my brother is gone.

Together with Sakura, we managed to save his soul from the grail mud, using our connection, and before the gate to the root seal forever, we made arrangements, we met there in one of the realities, a dragon called Sieg, he helped us reincarnate Shirou, he had great energy, but his version of heaven's feel was even more undeveloped than ours, it was a makeshift copy from a false grail after all.

We absorbed from him the rest of energy, setting him free, it seems he was tasked with containing it, and preventing the third magic from covering all humanity in his world, the servant with him, Ruler, was happy to be able to be with him, freely after all. So i felt no guilt to get that energy for myself, and use it, together with the usual grail.

I resurrected Shirou soul on his child body and sent him to the other world, a world where Angra Manyu would not find him, at least for now, i later then resurrect all of us, besides Sakura, me, Fillia, Leysritt and Sella were doomed to die early as homunculus, Sakura would live a bit more, but even her had many scars and damage from what Makiri did.

Me and Sakura, we spent a long time preparing for this moment, Rin could have moved on and followed her future on the clock tower, Sakura, and specially me, that had no lifespan left on this body, we needed another chance, even if in a worse place.

We reunited on the remnants of the grail cave, using the magical anchor to connect us to the root again, then used the third magic, with the remaining power of the grail and decades of time, all our power and lifeforce, but we managed do summon the third magic properly and fully and with all the power of two grails, sent ourselves to this distant other universe, there would be a new chance at living, and we would again meet oniichan, i hope he didn't forgot us, we took so much time to do it.

Fillia POV

Interestingly, i was waiting for a chance to participate in Snowfield ritual, they would make a new holy grail, a fake of the one the small Illya participated in. Since I possess this homunculus body, i´m in a very comfortable situation. kept most of my divine powers and access to the Einzbern family resources. The magical circuits on this artificial body aren't too shabby, and pretending to be a loyal servant of this alchemist's homunculus factory, i have access to a lot of benefits.

Unlike most gods, me, Ishtar, managed to remain active in the human order, kept most of my mystery and now with the grail, there's so many possibilities. Still Illya came to me with a curious proposal. My mortal host, like the other homunculus here, has a low lifespan, nothing i can´t bypass or ignore, changing hosts, but her solution to it, got my attention.

Another universe, why fight for crumbs on the human order, or cling to a return of the age of the gods that might not happen? I could just go to a place that never truly left it and cement myself there. It was easy to get my ride, just play nice with the little Illya and follow her as she does all the heavy lifts. To think she had access to the remnants of two grails, how she did it, i will probably never know, but it doesn't happen, we all are going to a new world, and i will be very choosy on my next vessel.

Shirou POV

The Age of Technology was nuts, they could do things there that even Magicians of my world would be hard pressed to do. During the last decade and half i spent most of my time analyzing the fleet ships and fixing them. And i discovered many interesting things, eventually, Diocletian allowed me to visit some of the Imperial ships, so i could get some perspective and compare them.

First, i found the imperial ships weird, it seems the telescope pictures from Mars show that not only the Terrawatt clan but the Mechanicum, pump their ships full of gothic architecture, making the ships look almost like cathedrals strapped with engines.

It was like getting what was left of the dark age tech, strap into a giant metal cathedral with engines, and call it a ship. It was so inefficient that it made me sick, especially since i had now, with my reality marble and mind implants, an easier time comparing both ship designs.

The largest imperial ships were restored or built new versions of ancient ships, some times that made some of the design being saved, and keep some efficiency, but it was not completed, it was made with whatever tech they could salvage, plus whatever they could use as makeshift replacement, and the finishing touches ended being oversized gothic architecture, filled with religious symbols. That's what happens when you put fanatical priests to work as your main engineers.

When i restored the fleet i noticed some things, first, they have many technologies that the imperial versions lack. Their computers don´t look like 80's machines, even if the 80's machines they call cogitators are very advanced in many areas.

They have many touchscreens and advanced holograms that make the imperial ones look primitive. On top of that, the computing was vastly superior to what the empíre had, i even used some of that processing and memory storage tech to upgrade my implants and personal armor.

But that was not all of it, it had massive databases and artificial intelligence, it was not easy to fool Dumont and the other priests and keep them from find it, i had to use many scraps and projection-alteration to modify the ships interior design, making sure all sensitive and unique tech would not be found by the mechanicus.

The internal design was modified so some areas that were supposed to be massive storages of water or air tanks, were actually smaller inside, in a way that was not noticeable by naked eye or without specific mapping and measurement procedures, procedures that i got on charge of to prevent any leaking.

In the end, for the Terrawatt, the ships sounded slightly more advanced than their current ships, they noticed how the ships were minimalistic, and more efficient in design and space usage, yet, they still preferred their "consecrated" designs in the end.

After the ships get permanently on my command, that become a issue, i liked Dumont, seriously, but he and the other priests become a bother, i could convince the imperial Technicians to open their minds and work like normal engineers, but they were already being slowly indoctrinated by the priests, they wanted to bring everyone with technical and scientific knowledge to their cult, and they were good at it.

And that became a problem for me, i wanted a rational scientific method using scientists and engineers, to work on my fleet, not a bunch of crazy weirdos, no matter how smart and nice they might be in the end, their beliefs would be in the way.

When Burke left with his ship, i managed to inspect it, i heard the stories about the dark age, from the emperor, from Malcador and Diocletian, i read data about it, available on Terra, it was not much. But the ship's databases?

They were built slightly before the machine rebellion, they had STCs inside, a massive database and were operated by cutting edge Stone Men, but not only that, they had some iron men too, that could work as sentinels, working personal and all, this ones were the famous rebel ones, more sentient, more advanced, with their own mechanical bodies and superior to humans overall.

Instead of freaking out like i know the priests would, i know because i asked them about artificial intelligence, i told them that i was from before the golden age, artificial intelligence was a dream for the future, and we had only primitive ones.

Knowing i was a "ancient" on top of my Omnissiah blessings, helped me calm them down as they frantically tried to explain to me that humanity indeed made artificial intelligence, but it rebelled, it was a abomination and a mockery of the life created by the omnissiah. That it was something forbidden and heretical.

But the more i studied about it, especially with the ships databases, my personal secret, the more obvious some things became, first, not all artificial intelligence rebelled, the stone men remained loyal, and even some iron men.

After my study advanced, and i reached the end of my pool of data, some things became obvious, first, only the last update of the iron men rebelled, more intelligent, more capable, and more self sufficient, self aware and capable of free will. There was a reason both A.I, stone men and iron men served humanity for thousands of years before suddenly the rebellion started.

The previous update was almost as good, just had more limitations, not only on capability, but less freedoms. It seems many of the inherent safeguards were removed, like automatic kill switch, that the machines should have in case of malfunction or rebellion, even if they were confident about the machines, things like that should exist, bugs are a thing.

Yet the machines for some bizarre reason were not only able to desire to rebel, not only capable of conceiving and desire the idea. They had the means to do it, and humanity made no safeguard. Maybe stupidity, maybe laziness, or maybe we did see them as our equals and wanted to give them freedom, some times, being nice might end up being naive.

I tried to make a new version of it, with all performance updates, but none of the self awareness updates. I installed many redundant kill switches and activated, first the Stone Men, that became the minds of the fleet ships, then the iron men, that for now, were kept isolated on the sealed and hidden areas of the ship, responsible for ship maintenance, and emergency security.

I made a complex hierarchy of command over the A.I, and made it that if everyone from the chain died, and left no successor, it would shut down, and only activate after new human admins arrived.

When Burke left with the ship, he had no idea he had many secret semi-sentient robots, ready to fight for his personal, heal his personal, protect the ship and bring it home, in case things got bad for him.

The machines hidden on the bowels of the ship kept his crew under vigilance, and using a bizarre quantum entanglement system, they kept my A.I informed, i could constantly monitor his situation through an encrypted feed the ship sent to my mind implants. In an emergency, the quantum entanglement system could be used to not only track the precise position of Burke ship, but had cutting edge teleporter capable of transporting me there if it was not above 15 thousand light years away.

About the data from the future i had? I admit, i was so busy with surviving the events around me that I didn't check it. Taiga told me there was not much about the unification wars. She still regretted not telling Saber about Kibuka's ability, she got hurt because of it.

Taiga showed me a compiled text with what she could compile, it was a lot of info, many novels, tabletop lore and games. There was even a novel series about a human hero called Caiphas Cain, that was on the first issue, but they went here without seeing the end of it, my readings about the man of gold, combined with what i found on the fleet databases, make me believe that they are the first to use the tech the emperor used on the custodes, long lived super humans, it seems the emperor perfected it, using his own powers, making the Custodes, my theory is that the men of gold didn't had the emperor psyker empowerment and biomancy improvement, but were modified on the womb and had cybernetics.

It seems that after the unification wars, that would end a few decades later about 96 years later, before i mess up the timeline, and it would be more bloody. Big E would travel to Mars faster too, without as many deaths and damage, instead of wait 27 years to go into mars, he would go in mere 4 years, year 620, and i was told to go with him, with both our unique powers related with technology, would be easier convince the priests to help on his "great crusade" to unify all humanity in the galaxy.

He was making his supernatural sons, it seems they probably were all men, there were two mysterious lost sons, probably men too, they were supposed to be the best of humanity, again, i feel the emperor has some problem with women.

I mean, he is not married too, instead of have his kids natural way with Erda, he just got her as surrogate mother, and just for the genes, the kids will even be developed on artificial wombs, a thousands years old single bachelor, surrounded by mostly giant muscular men, that want only male kids, that might be a issue he don't want to open up about, Taiga jokes a lot about it, Merek burst laughing as Rin and Bazett too, but we all vowed to not speak about it in public. Custodes might be a bit overzealous and we don't want to end in trouble.

So i learned he would have 20 sons, 2 would be "lost" during the early stages of his great crusade, the "forgotten" and the "purged". Not much said about why or what the heck happened. But a little later, half his superhuman sons, that were greater than custodes, would be corrupted by the entities of chaos, and rebel. I started to read about them, and lots of time to do it after the unification wars ended, it seems the primarchs are different than making used not only his and Erda genes, two all powerful and ancient psykers and "perpetuals", a new term i learned during my readings of Taiga's resume.

He used forbidden lore acquired on the warp, he got some extra power, knowledge on the warp, and resources to create his superhuman sons. And he did it thousands of years ago, even before the age of strife, during the age of technology..

I could see how some of his sons could theoretically be saved, but i felt that some of them were made with personalities and genetic traits that would always be detrimental, hell, if i interfered badly, i could even make other sons join the heresy, or make it end worse, the event was complex and troublesome.

I made some notes, about some events that could possibly be interfered with, and ways to mitigate the damage of the heresy, but even now, everything could already be different, hell, i might not even survive enough for it.

Normal humans with the best rejuvenate, don´t go much beyond 500 years, even if my gene enhancements, the best rejuvenat and cybernetics, i won't go much further than the 31 millennium i believe, i meant, i could, using Avalon,,but it would mean leave Rin and Bazett behind, watch them die. But if i go, Saber will be alone, for eternity, i cannot abandon her too. More headaches for me i guess. How can i prevent the people i love from dying? How can i go with them without leaving some behind?

I had to think about that later, for now, i asked Saber to keep Avalon on Rin, Rin wanted it to be in one of our kids, but when i asked her which one she would chose, and which one she wanted to never experience puberty, she understood and Avalon on her for at least 10 years, we would end too much apart in our biological age.

About our kids, they would inherit Tohsaka's last name, and her crest, due to compatibility, i had one girl with Tohsaka. We baptized her Tohsaka Aoi, in homage to her mother, she was my cute little black haired princess. And i had another princess, a red haired baby girl with Bazett, we called her Iris Fraga, in homage to my father's former wife, that kinda is her grandmother.

As i said, 4 years later we visited Mars, the Emperor tried to convince them to join his great crusade, when things got difficult he asked them to bring two valuable ancient techs, machines they lost the means to repair. And we made them work, on his case, he repaired a knight with a mere touch. In my case, i fixed an ancient Archeotech pistol, i was lucky it was a weapon, it made things easier for me, since i could read it´s history easier.

The Mechanicum absorbed the Terrawatt clan, obviously i asked to keep Dumont and his personnel, since now he not only was used to work with the priests that came with him but all technicians and personal sent by burke and the Emperor too, they were too used to work together to make a new team, and i didn't want so many people involved on my business going away, with all they knew.

I raised my girls with my wifes, Tohsaka and Bazett, and spoiled them with my nieces and nephew. The only boy of the new generation, the little Fujimura boy had it rough, surrounded by strong headed and genius sisters and cousins. I quickly got him to train with me, curiously, the kids didn't inherit the genetic enhancements, it seems most enhancements that pass to new generations are more intense, people have that on other worlds, like high gravity worlds and such, according to big E.

Burk expedition didn't went far, the storms reduced, a lot, but the warp still was dangerous, with his works on nearby systems he made quite the wealth, returned 3 star systems to Imperial control, and got himself a small fleet of 7 cruisers, 3 in need of repairs but operational, and 4 disabled, little better than debris, but with effort, salvageable, better than start one from zero.

He collected cruisers as the best from a debris field, some ancient battlefield. He planned to clean the place. He got several worlds for the Empire, and wanted to put his son and daughter in law as local governor, and his grandchildren as future rulers of the richest star system, and delivered the other two to the Administratum, receiving a wealthy reward, and of course, a good reputation, as the first Sanctioned Rogue trader to bear fruits to the empire, many were following his steps, as the crusade was about to start.

The old man was a good trader on Terra, and kept his business instincts even as a Rogue Trader. Currently we are on year 740, 124 years after the end of the unification wars, i already took my first dose of rejuvenat and have 145 years old, the body was stronger than a old body should be at that age, due to high class died and training, plus genetic enhancements, besides the rejuvenat.

We all got them of the highest quality, from the fleet stash, even my kids took theirs already, they grow so fast, i´m lucky to have recordings of their childhood, would be easy to forget how cute they were before grow up, some into grumpy old men/woman.

Taiga´s daughter is already a idol, above Maddona level, since her music is exported by Burke to the closest star systems. The fact she has access to gigatons of ancient music, and not only select the ones she want, but sell musics to musicians helped her make her small media empire.

The other controls the game and comics industry, mostly focused on girls content, Souichirou is currently Marshal Solar of the Solar Auxilia due to his high training since childhood and education. My kids and Souichirou, received the best genetic enhancements the empire can provide since they first years, due to not only my feats and connections with the emperor, but the fact their training and education made their performance astonishing, Taiga's girls received only rejuvenat, since they were civilians.

My girls with Tohsaka and Bazett got a special role on the formed Astra Telephatica, have been genetically enhanced, highly trained and with supernatural power not tied to warp influence was useful to control rampaging psykers.

In 124 years many things happen, of course, i reached a level of skill that my occasional training matches with Custodes was more maintenance training. Most Thunder Warriors, Ur-Khasis and Udug-Huls were on permanent stasis now. Several died due to wanting to be active and have no more spare organs from dead colleagues to transplant left.

Burke main escorts become hired members of Solar Auxilia, something common on the start of the crusade was that, have military escorts, both Expeditionary fleets and Rogue traders received that luxury if avaliable. Even with Burk returning my Udug Huls, my active numbers still were low, many died of old age or battle, i didn´t made more, the method to make them was too risky and lethal, so i just stored the data on the ship database, before their personal genetors, support personal, chirurgeons and bio-chemists die.

I read on Taiga's notes that lots of tech just vanished on the Empire, i made sure to have redundancies and backups of data, as detailed and ample as possible, including video classes teaching things, like on Y*utube. A concept that was lost on M30 and i got back, at least inside my fleet. If you know something valuable and rare, i pay you extra to become a teacher and record classes.

My magecraft? My circuits were developed to the limit, i cannibalized and reused so many circuit remnants that i wondered how many of my alternate souls that grail mud dissolved, but eventually they ended.

In the end, my crest was 70% my repaired, improved and transplanted circuits, the rest was just multiple stances of my father's crest, knitted together. Overall, it would be compatible with any of my kids, if i decided to pass forward. Not only were my circuits specialized, i did everything to try store my reality marble and my armory on it. Like the Emiya family managed to do with theirs.

If worked? I will never know, probably my heir if he inherits it from my dead corpse in the future, who knows? I managed to improve my circuits too, not sure if to a level like "Barthomeloi", but they improved a lot.

Right now i can match physically a space marine, with my skill absorbed from archer, and polished with Saber and Diocletian for more than a century? I can outperform any space marine i know, save maybe for Sigismund, he is a beast, the kind of talented guy that becomes a hero still alive, with normal human lifespan and without cheat.

And he was a god damned Astartes, he was a monster, to fight guys like him and custodes on equal grounds, i still need to reinforce myself and use heavy my magecraft, but hey, at least i can do it now. Once the weapon in my hand is a noble phantasm, i get very confident, against almost anyone.

My craft and tech ability grew too, spent more than a century fixing Archeotech, analyzing tech and doing my own study, i learned a lot about Alchemy from Rin's books, that had copies of the Matou library and Fraga library too, since they worked together, learned even about things like Mithril, a material i didn't know, that some magus had, like Barthomeloi Lorelei, on my old "Terra".

This helped improve even more my ability to reproduce noble phantasms. Besides what i learned with the Emperor himself, a man that craft swords since the ancient times, that learned the lost Damascus blade forging and other ancient methods, besides modern ones.

I gave my old set of equipment and armor to Souichirou, and started to work on my new one, due to my magecraft returned, i can go without them, and my nephew now has a powerful family heirloom, made of tech that still cutting edge, reinforced with rare magecraft. For now i will do with the old carapace armor, a standard sword and laspistol and project my own weapons if needed. After all, i fought against legendary heroes with a t-shirt and jeans pants in the ancient past, i guess i´m still way better than my stupid teenager self.

Taiga went with Merek to Farfallen(a paradise world), where they made their small empire on Segmentum Solar, as Burke kept slowly traveling further on his adventures near sol system. Leaving only a small branch of the Fujimura Group

With all the "children" already grown up and well settled on Terra, my nephew on Solar Auxilia, my nieces as businesswoman, and my daughters as Astra Telepathica high command officers, the only thing stopping me from adventure was Saber, but we spoke a lot on last years, if i can go with Rin and Bazett, Saber will always be in contact through the command spells, and one command spent from be with me. And that if i´m too far, if is less than 15 light years, she can use the teleporter i hid inside the space station.

Now i finally decided to board my battleship, Burk battleship was baptized "Winterscale", i guess the reason is obvious. Mine was baptized Caliburn. Not many would understand the name, the sword of promised victory, one of the best treasures in my armory.

With 2 grand cruisers, baptized "Kanshou" and "Bakuya", for obvious reasons, flanking my battleship going with us as escort, one grand cruiser baptized Aias, remaining to protect the space station, we decided to travel finally, after more than a century working on Terra.

Our travel through was not a coincidence, we had to help the Eldar, warn and help evacuate as many as possible. The books talked about craftworlds that failed to evacuate in time, i planned to somehow change that.

And yes, it´s idiotic, it´s suicidal but i considered the possibility of maybe, kill Slanesh, i didn't shared that with the others, but the possibility of kill a newborn god, was more interesting than let it grow stronger. I had harpe with me, the issue was how to get it weakened enough, maybe with Saber, would be possible. How many billions, no trillions of lives we could save if it worked? How were my chances, first, i needed to see the Eye of Terror with my own eyes, as i save as many Eldar as possible, and then, see if was feasible.

As i ponder and plan about it, the ships approach the mandeville point and prepare the gellar fields, Tersius, our astropath, assume his position, he doesn't know that besides trust him, even because he got experienced with Burke, before being returned and replaced with another hired navigator, not only we have improved version of normal cogitators able to calculate warp jumps, but i have a stone men in secret, capable of navigate the Ship on a emergency.

Besides Tersius, the navigator, i got no psyker on board, usually i would require a astropath, but with my link with Saber, and my quantum entanglement system, connected with my space station, under allied control, it become not necessary, my Ship possibly was the most advanced and safe on the imperium, with the maintenance on perfect state, everything as new, many redundancies and only one psyker inside, and only because stone men and cogitators are still slower on warp travel than Navigators.

Of course, Diocletian came with us, one of the reasons i kept the navigation to Tersius, besides speed, the Emperor still did not remove his ancient job as my "babysitter" and i´m always under watchful eyes, the Emperor frowned at my suggestion of save Eldar, but the prospect of have them owe favors to humanity, made the arrogant and self absorbed Eldar OWE their lives to humanity, made him consider and give me a vouch of confidence, besides being against his "methods", he had to admit my habit of save as many lives as possible had results.

Valdor sent another Custodes to watch the Station, that's while it's my private Station, still a strategic location, so he reserved the right to keep one of his eyes there. Back to current time, i´m on the captain chair, with Bazett and Rin at my sides, the countdown started, we leave the Mandeville point, and with a single order, we jump into the purple ominous dimension, the warp.

" 3…2…1… Jump!"
