"Hey, Mister Shirou. We're at the drop zone."

Snapping out of his reminiscing, Shirou looked over to the pilot of the helicopter he was on.

Wearing a helmet and flight goggles over his face, and in an army camo bodysuit, not much could be seen about the pilot's appearance. Beyond his lower face, which is clean-shaven, and his clearly masculine voice, there is nothing to really make him stand out.

Standing, Shirou apologized.

"Ah. Sorry, I was taking a nap."

"No worries. You sure you'll be okay on your own?"

"Ah, yeah. It'll be a nice workout after not fighting for so long."

Looking positively gobsmacked at Shirou's statement, the pilot just watched as Shirou moved to his God Arc. Standing at the door, Shirou asked,

"So you'll be back in ten minutes?"

"T-Ten minutes? Isn't that too short?"

"No. Ten minutes will be more than enough."

Jumping out of the helicopter, and landing hard enough to rupture the ground, Shirou looked around the area he found himself in. A familiar place.

The Wailing Plains.

Some of his most important battles, battles that moulded who he was now, occurred in this place.

Before Shirou could start reminiscing, again, the crackle of his earpiece caught his attention.

"Testing, testing, can you hear me, Shirou?"

"Hibari? Are you my Operator for today?"

"Yup. Okay Shirou, today you'll be fighting a Vajra and a Kongou. The Vajra should appear first, and the Kongou should appear in five minutes."

"Alright then."

Taking point at Point H, Shirou stood and waited for the Vajra to appear.

After maybe 30 seconds, the earpiece crackled again.

"The Vajra has appeared at Point C. Please move to intercept. And be careful, alright?"

"Okay Hibari."

Turning to his left, Shirou moved at a steady jog until he was within eyesight of the Vajra.

The Vajra, noticing Shirou, stopped, before turning to face him and tensed its legs.

On an invisible signal, the two ran at each other.

The Vajra pounced, trying to crush Shirou. Shirou sprinted at his max speed to get underneath the Vajra.

With the Vajra landing, both turned to face each other. The Vajra howled and summoned balls of electricity to fire at Shirou. Shirou ran straight at the Vajra.

The Vajra fired, and Shirou hopped over the shots coming his way.

Being within striking distance of each other, the Vajra made the first move, swiping at Shirou with its left claw. Shirou parried the blow with his right blade, Bakuya, and sliced downward at the Vajra's face with his left blade, Kanshou.

Scoring a shallow cut against the Vajra, and heavily injuring its left eye, Shirou continued by slashing Bakuya to the left, against the Vajra's nose, and causing it to flinch backwards, onto its hind-legs. Taking advantage of this, Shirou ran underneath the Vajra's legs, and, facing the back of the Vajra, began striking the Vajra's hind-leg.

A right slash from Bakuya, a downward slash from Kanshou, a thrust into the ankle of the Vajra with Bakuya, and then a dashing cross-slash with both blades, bringing him back in front of the Vajra.

Hearing the familiar breaking of an Aragami's bond, Shirou turned to see the Vajra fallen onto its stomach, struggling to stand.

Shirou continued to chain attacks together against the Vajra's head, until it stood back up and, with a roar, created a dome of static electricity.

Shirou, recognising the attack, started to jump backwards before he could get shocked.

With another roar, the dome of static electricity turned into a dome of glowing blue electricity, hot enough to scorch the ground a little.

Pouncing out of the dome to try and surprise the prey it was fighting, it was only faced with that same prey on one knee, with a long black bow in hand. The next thing it knew, there was a stinging pain in its head, where its eye once was, before losing all sense of feeling in the ensuing explosion.

Shirou stood up with a sigh, relieved he had beaten the Vajra without damage, but annoyed he had to use some of his Oracle energy to beat the Vajra.

The earpiece crackled.

"Good job Shirou. Now you just need to wait for the-- Wait, what!? Nevermind, the Kongou is entering the field early! Please move to intercept."

"Where is it?"

"Point F."

"Alright."

Reorienting himself so he was facing North, Shirou moved forward, then turned right and continued on. Stopping before the Kongou's active hearing range, Shirou crouched and, having kept his God Arc in Bow form, aimed at the Kongou.

Aiming for the Kongou's red face, Shirou drew back his bowstring and, focusing, released, before quickly doing it twice more, landing three arrows all around the Kongou's left eye.

Before the Kongou could react, the arrows exploded, breaking the bonds in its face.

As the Kongou collapsed, holding its face, Shirou then took aim again, this time at the red airhorns on its back. Repeating the same process and breaking the bonds in its airhorns, Shirou stood up and rushed forward, unattaching his blades and reverting them to their usual length.

Jumping upward, Shirou then brought both his blades downwards, piercing deeply into the Kongou's head, before ripping his blades out of its head.

The Kongou, heavily injured, stood onto all fours shakily, and, in a last ditch effort, tried to spin around in a spin attack, but was unable to reach the proper speed.

Shirou slashed his blade against the Kongou in the opposite direction, causing it to stumble onto its side, panting heavily.

Raising both his blades, Shirou ended the Kongou's suffering, severing its head.

With a sigh, he looked down on his God Arcs, covered in blood, before tiliting his head.

"Are you hungry? Alright."

Thrusting forward, Shirou caused Bakuya to enter Devour mode and bite into the Kongou's corpse.

A crackle.

"Good work today Shirou. The Doctor will be happy with your results. The helicopter should arrive in a few minutes."

"Alright, thank you."

Sensing his God Arcs still being slightly hungry, he ran back to Point C, hoping the Vajra's corpse was still there. Luckily, it was, but it was close to disappearing. Hurrying, Shirou thrust forward with Kanshou this time, and devoured the Vajra corpse.

With his God Arcs satisfied, and nothing to do, Shirou decided to forage for ingredients to help the Engineers.

After a few minutes, the helicopter returned, and with it, a message from Hibari.

"Come back to base, Shirou. Sakura's pretty mad at you, ya know?"

Sweating, Shirou responded,

"Yeah. I'm not looking forward to that conversation."

"And your little sister too."

Ah, that's right. Illya.

*Page Break*

Thanks for reading. This is Cee and I had a revelation. I'm going to write and finish this story to the best of my ability, but it's not going to be a great story. It's a train wreck that is born of me having to put all of my ideas together into a comprehensible fashion. Lower your expectations. Stick around, but lower them. Now then, fighting is nice, the pilot's kind of a person, tense is probably fine. This is shorter then last chapter. Sorry.

Second, if you want images of the God Arcs in all three modes, I'll probably post them somewhere then leave a link on one of the next chapters.

Third, so yeah, Illya. I know I said that I was done copying the plot of Stay Night but, that's a half lie.

Fourth, Shirou talks to his God Arcs. This is an idea I got from a review, since they're swords, and Shirou's emphatic to swords.

Thank you to sawtooth44, Nonexistant Existence, nextss6, altron15, and Tama001 for favouriting or following, and thank you to jairoesme again, sawtooth44, 98kazer again, Kayen1024, and Lionheart33 again for reviewing.

Goodbye.
