Shirou looked towards the grail compelling him and keeping him away from approaching him. But still he kept on pushing forward taking weak steps as he pushed forward not caring about the surrounding. He took one more step and yet he still kept on pushing forward he then made another push of forward taking one more step screaming as he do so
And thus Emiya Shirou dies
What you see right now is nothing different than a machine. The body was programmed to destroy the grail no matter what as the boy kept moving forward or rather the lifeless body moved forward, his dull lifeless eyes looked towards the grail his mouth was close and then he swung his sword and everything was white
Several memories flash and he saw a purple haired girl who was smiling so beautifully and he smiled too. While everything was white the lifeless body somehow smiled thinking of those memories Emiya Shirou smiled and then he felt nothing no more
Several memories flash again
"Shi..rou" A pale blonde woman said looking at the boy who stabbed her crying while doing so and then the pale blonde woman smiled looking at the boy
But who was it. Who was the blond pale woman? Who was that purple haired girl? more over the real question is. What really is he?
...
Shirou opened his eyes and he looked around golden eyes scanning the surrounding, looking at the night sky while hearing fire, remembering... no, rather seeing those fragments of memories that he experienced? He could not understand he was Emiya Shirou, he did not have a past, he did not have anything. He only had this arm that did not belong to him
The thing he remember gave him a heart ache all he know was that he woke up on Chaldea and big massive boom boom occur and now he was in this singularity, he got up and looked around and everything was on fire he then felt his heart ache "Hugh?" He felt vomiting as several memories flashed once more
This time was a house and that had a older women an that same purple haired girl he saw earlier he also then noticed a black haired twin ponytailed girl, and had the pale women no, the other women had paler skin than this her hair is also pale blonde and her eyes was dull yellow
But this had green emerald eyes while having perfectly blonde hair. He then woke up to reality breathing heavily as he kneeled, he looked to his arms and another memory came up
"Rho Aias" The red clad man said as he projected a beautiful rose shield while having multiple black tendrils stabbing him on the heart and around it and then he closed his eyes
He then groggily opened his eyes looking at the red clad man who was injured while a light purple haired girl appeared with a blindfold on looking at the man who had a white blade pointing it on his arm and he swung the sword down cutting his arm and the same time where Shirou closed his eyes
He woke up to reality once more looking at the arm. WHO? who were those? What are these memories? Why is this being flashed in his head? He breathed heavily kneeling on the ground he then looked upwards and another memory flash
But this was just a hill of swords a desolate land that had nothing but swords on it while multiple cogs were flying around the sky, and he saw the red clad man standing in front of him though he was blurry and he could not see him clearly "Oy kid. Are you really that weak to forget the woman you love?" What did he say? What does he mean? A woman he loved?
He did not speak or rather he could not reply to his words as he looked towards him with widened eyes and this hill of swords suddenly glitched and another memory flashed in his head
he was walking in a land where he ran towards nothing at all his body and consciousness was slowly crumbling he asked this words to himself "What purpose am I even here. Why am I fighting in the first place"
The smoke cleared up and he saw the red clad man once more and the man turned his head to him "Can you keep up with me?" He then felt cracking noises and then he felt alive. He felt alive more than anything
" 'Can you keep up with me?' My ass" He ran towards the red clad man passing through him while doing so "Right back at you. You're the one's that gotta keep up with me!" He shouted closing his eyes and then the smoke cleared up the beautiful sun was present and the red clad man smiled
The surrounding became the hill of swords again as he panted holding the ground looking at the red clad man who was blurry again and he looked towards him and several memories flashed once more "Sakura? Yes... Sakura!" He exclaimed remembering all of it he looked towards the hill of swords and saw the red clad man who was not blurry now he saw him clearly
"You took a while. Be careful" Those words were not soemthing he expected to come out of archer as he smiled "And also. go die" Thanks archer. He looked at the smirking archer
"Fuck you!" He said before waking up to reality looking towards the burned city which was Fuyuki he remember clearly but some of it was still blurry the purple haired girl was Sakura the woman he loves. The red clad archer was Archer or rather a future version of himself. The blond girl was he still could not remember but he swore to remember it the black haired girl was he could not remember also. The older woman was... he just remember calling her 'Taiga'
He looked towards his arm and he gripped it with all his might as he rushed towards the city and then he caught sight of an eggplant with a massive shield fighting off multiple skeletons. She then looked around and saw Shirou "Senpai!"
Mash? What's she doing here she then so a skeleton going for her and then he suddenly rushed towards her reinforcing his fists with mana and then punched the skeleton cracking the bones of it. Rihgt now he felt stronger because of Archer don't know why but he definitely did something to him to where he could even go toe to toe with him
He then backed off while looking at the skeletons "You okay Mash? Can you explain the situation just make it fast please" Shirou said as he dodge another Skeleton's attack and then letting Mash bash the Skeleton
"Right now we are at singularity F at Fuyuki-" No shit "From now on I am your servant becaause uhh... It's complicated!" Mash said blocking a skeleton's attack
"We'll discuss this later just focus on the skeletons" Shirou said while Mash nodded and then she charged to the monsters jumping while doing so and then slamming her shield to one of the Skeletons crushing them
Shirou looked to his hands "I'll be borrowing your power Archer!" He said as a unknwon and nameless sword projected in front of him and then he charged cutting one of the skeleton's arms and then side-stepping away from the Skeleton with the spear and then he swung his sword downwards destroying the skeleton
"Battle finished. Good work Master... And by the way Senpai, did you have experience fighting others before?" Mash said tilting her head
"Kinda" He frowned at that and then looked at his sword who was now turning into blue dust. Suddenly on his arms a projection appeared and it was Dr. Roman "What the?"
Roman popped up "Hello?" Roman said while Shirou just response with a lazy 'yes' "Anyways I'll explain the situation and about Mash
...
Anyways after somehow seeing Olga and then right now a servant was in front of them. Rider
"How?" She asked still showing no emotions looking at Shirou who just shrugged
"Don't know and don't care" She was probably talking about how I am dead or something in here
"Umm.. Senpai does she know you?" Mash said looking at the direction of Shirou who just looked at his arm and then got ready for combat
"No time for that! She's coming!" Shirou alerted Mash and then Rider came closing the distance in a flash while Mash managed to block her attack while Shirou then projected a nameless sword aiming for Rider. Rider managed to dodge and then kept up her multiple attack while Shirou swung his sword again which Rider blocked
"Senpai! Please leave this to me" Mash said pleading for him to get to his safety and then Shirou just sighed backing away whiel looking at the battle which was on Rider's odds. Damn he has to do something or else, Oh he gets it he searched for something a bow, yes a bow. He then projected Archer's bow
He looked towards the bow and then he projected another namless sword that he overloaded with mana and then shot it right at Rider unfortunately it did not hit as Rider dodged hastily. Rider looked towards me and then I smirked while Mash widened her eyes looking at me
"You're in the way" Rider barked as she rushed towards Shirou but Mash interrupted her by pushing her aside using her gigantic shield this left Rider open to another shot with Shirou's bow hitting her and the sword exploded
She was forced back and hit the ground she got up fast and then clicked her tongue and then another sword was blasted out by the bow and she quickly dodge it ignoring the explosions that occur behind her
Right now her target is Emiya Shirou she dashed once more faster than Mash can perceive but suddenly "Ansuz!" somebody spoke and in a sudden a massive flame breathe out and then hit Rider
"You are..." The man that spoke revealed himself he had a staff and a robe with a ponytailed blue hair "How are you alive?" Caster roared looking at Shirou's face
"I don't know you?" Shirou said lamely which made Caster frown
"No time for that let's deal with rider" Caster said which got a nod from Shirou and thus the battle begin
...
Shirou knew too well who was the man standing in front of him. "Archer" He muttered quietly and the man had an anger look on his face
"How are you alive!?" He said roaring while Mash and Olga widened their eyes and Shirou held his hand out telling Caster to go to the cave where Saber is
"Roger. Be sure not to die kid!" Caster said while dragging Mash and Olga
Then Shirou looked towards Archer and then he slowly walked towards him. He said nothing while Archer also did the same and while approaching Archer Shirou ripped off the part of his shirt revealing a arm wrapped in red clothing s Shirou untied the red cloth revealing the tanned arm
"That arm?" archer muttered knowing that was his arm "How?" Archer asked anger laced in his sentence and they were close to each other now Archer looking below Shirou, Shirou looking up to each other they both gripped their hands
"Trace!"
"On!"
Shirou made Kanshou and then Archer made Bakuya and then the swords clashed while they projected the other blade clashing with each other but Archer was stronger and then pusheed off Shirou
Blasting Shirou out he grit his teeth bracing for impact and then he hit a tree he got up once more standing up. Now thinking about it several memories flashed in his head, looking at archer's backstory
How he became a counter guardian. How he became what he is, he charged at him slashing Kanshou in his hands but Archer simply blocked it and then swung his sword but Shirou then kicked him before the blow even land and then use his Bakuya and swung it
Archer frowned but simply blocked the attack while and Shirou then forced himself to push through and screaming while doing so. He adapted to Archer's style and that was what he was gonna do!
Archer also forced to push the blades and alas Archeer won the contest of strength as Shirou was forced back, Archer charged in to Shirou holding his blades tightly and then made multiple slashes but Shirou blocked it and then kicked Archer away Shirou then charged at Archer swung his sword but Archer blocked it all and then Shirou used his two swords making 4 strike in one second but Archer managed to get out before he got hit by it
They both charged again once more, the two then began to do a beautiful dance of blades, no projecting. no using bows. no using other magic just two guys fighting to death
Shirou panted while Archer looked at him dead in the eyes. Shirou then saw Archer charged and he narrowed his eyes ducking the swung of the blade and then spinning to swing the blades but Archer noticed this nd kicked him while he landed on the floor
Shirou landed on his feet while Archer was infront of him and he dodged it by going right to his side projecting the broken Byakuya he lost a while ago he then stepped on the groudn as hard as he can tilting his body to face his open back and then slashing his back
Blood danced out from Archer's body and Archer jumped away as he looked to Shirou in anger. One of the noticeable appearance change from Shirou right now was some of his hair strands became white and his skin was getting tanner
"Your not the Shirou I know." Archer said looking at Shirou "That bastard would sacrifice everything just to save people and see their smile" Archer then softened his anger face "But you, You are different" Archer slowly approached Shirou
"Yeah. You are not the archer I know too, he did hate me at first but he wouldn't just try to kill me right now" Shirou said while approaching archer too they both breathe out a long one
"Let's end this!" They both said charging at each other projecting both of their swords and in a flash they were already behind each other
Shirou fall to the ground first while Archer also fall to the ground, Shirou roleld his body facing the sky looking at his body which had a massive x cut while Archer's also had one
Archer then disappeared to blue dust while Shirou looked to his hand. He was gonna die soon, he thinks. No way no way was he gonna die here He widen his eyes to keep him conscious and then he slowly walk towards the cave where Saber was
Caster and Mash was having a hard time trying to defeat Saber and then ZOOOM a sword hit Saber in the chest directly surprising everyone and then a man entered the cave and it was Shirou holding Archer's bow while he was wounded and his shirt was rip off a bit and a tanned arm was present while the tanned arm was holding a red cloth while his hair also had strands of white
Saber widened her eyes looking at the boy responsible for shooting her "No. How?" Saber held her sword tight and held the sword that struck her and then throw it away. Saber then dashed to Shirou letting her sword flow with dark ominous energy as she swung it down but Shirou held out his palm and created a Bakuya just at the time but it shattered in one strike but enough to keep saber away from him as he was blew away a little because he was injured
"Archer's blades?" Saber said looking at the unknown arm "What is that arm?" She asked the question but Shirou smirked
"My arm" Shirou said sarcastically while injured and then Saber was hit behind by a shield and then came a burst of fire hitting Saber once more. SHirou reinforced his legs using the last of his mana supply to get the fuck outta here he jumped towards behind Mash's shiel
"Senpai are you okay?" Mash asked concerningly while having worry in her eyes
"Yeah." He said tired and then he felt his eyelids become heavier and heavier "I'll sleep for a while I'll trust you with Cas...ter" He then felt his whole vision turn black
While in his sleep he saw multiple memories of him again
"RHO AIAS" Shirou shouted blocking the massive clump of dark energy from Saber's sword and then multiple swords come out from his arm to his shoulders as he screamed in pain while a older woman with purple hair was behind her readying her noble Phantasm
"Bellerophon!" Rider shoutd making a pegasus out of nowhere as it flew through the cave making zig zag courses destroying the cave and then landing on Saber where a massive explosion occur
Shirou then arrived on where Saber and then stab. He stabbed her heart killing her "Shi...rou" Yes now he remembers. This girl was Saber. The servant she summoned and the servant he killed also
...
He woke up looking t the ceiling while his arm was covered in the red cloth he had he looked around and saw "Mash?" He said quietly and weak while Mash turned her attention
"Senpai! Your awake I'm glad! I'm so glad!" She said happily. Shirou looked towards his body which was covered in bandages and his arm "But Senpai... That arm... Isn't yours right?" Mash asked frowning while doing so
"Yeah..." Shirou said quietly looking down to the arm remembering Archer
"Should we remove it?" Mash suggested but Shirou shook his head sideways widening hey eyes
"I don't want to remove it. Because someone gave it to me" Shirou said looking at the arm with a bitter smile "If that's not enough for a reason then, I'll find the owner of this arm and ask him directly why did he gave this arm?" Shirou knew he fought archer but that archer was not the archer he knew. he wanted to find the Archer he knew and land a punch if he wants to
"Yes Senpai I'll support you no matter what!" She said while smiling brightly and then Shirou just smiled looking back at the eggplant.
"Thanks Mash" He said those words bitterly looking at her, he just couldn't help but be reminded of Sakura the woman she loves
