Chapter 2
The next morning Shiro and Arturia woke up and prepared breakfast for the whole family. Kiritsugu and Irisviel were happily eating while Illya and Arturia wolfing down their meal in an elegant manner. After breakfast Shiro and Kiritsugu did a sparring match to see how far Shiro came in magecraft. Shiro traced two swords with a gray design on the front and a white design on the back. Shiro charged right at Kiritsugu, In response Kiritsugu fired a barrage of bullets at Shiro who in defense traced a giant shield in front of him. The bullets bombarded the shield leaving a few dents after the gun ran out of ammo. Kiritsugu threw the gun away and pulled another out of his jacket, Shiro moved the shield to his left and charged again this time he started to reinforce his swords and got real close to Kiritsugu. Kiritsugu then fired his gun at point-blank range, Shiro didn't protect himself with the shield and took the whole barrage in order to get a strike on Kiritsugu.
He succeeded but started bleeding from the wounds he received. As for Kiritsugu, he bleed from the gash Shiro gave him and it stained his shirt and jacket a dark shade of red. They didn't show any regard for their lives because Shiro managed to give another copy of Avalon to his father. Saber was watching their fight seriously along with Illya and Irisviel as an audience. The fight continued as Kiritsugu went on the offensive and used his mystic code Thompson Contender,a gun with special bullets. He fired a regular bullet at Shiro but he dodged it in time and countered with the swords he created from before and he fired them as arrows. One of the blades managed to connect and impaled Kiritsugu's right arm; he pulled the blade out and fired another bullet this time he used one of his Origin bullets as ammo.
The bullet was blocked by Shiro's shield but it shot through and hit Shiro's left torso, as a result of using all his magic circuits at full power Shiro started to feel an intense sensation of pain envelop his entire body. He writhed and rolled around on the ground and started to scream loudly from the pain he felt. After half an hour Shiro passed out from the experience; he woke up about 3 hours later with all his wounds completely healed. "What happened? Where am I?" Everyone surrounded Shiro, when he woke up Arturia tearfully hugged him and kissed him. "Why did you do that?! What were you trying to do?!" Arturia asked Kiritsugu with a look of rage and sadness. "I was trying to test him, I didn't mean to go this far I don't know what came over me!" Kiritsugu was really distraught by his actions. He took a look at Shiro using Structural Analysis; Luckily Shiro's circuits weren't affected by his Origin bullet which perplexed him at first until he came to the conclusion that Avalon saved Shiro from his magecraft. "It's best if I don't train you for now Shiro, I don't want something like this to happen to you again."
Shiro understood everything clearly and tried to get up but staggered a bit until he poured his prana into the scabbard to heal himself. The next day Shiro knew that his circuits were delicate just enough damage to them and he couldn't be a magus anymore. So he decided to create more magic circuits to use. The problem was that the circuits that Shiro creates were only temporary, at best they only last about a hour then they vanish. He created one when he came up with an idea that could help him with the process.
He would create the circuit and use Reinforcement to enhance it's existence so he could make it permanent. It worked thanks to the scabbard he had. He checked the circuit out and it only could produce 10 units of prana just like his other circuits, in total he has now 28 circuits to use whenever he wants. He shouted with a happy look on his face and decided to create 25 circuits each day to help him improve his magecraft. Shiro decided to talk to his father 30 days after the incident to show off his magecraft. His father was shocked by his accomplishment and his was glad that Shiro didn't hate him after what happened. Shiro then talked to Kiritsugu about the Emiya family crest and proposed to transplant it to him using his method to ensure that the circuits could accept him. the transplant worked, in addition to the 2 circuits that were originally a part the crest that Kiritsugu bear he added 5 more circuits that were able to produce 10 units each just like the crest.
In total the number of circuits Shiro has now are about 784 circuits all together. The prana Shiro Emiya has now is enough to able to fight high level magi on even ground, plus he became a 6th generation magus in the process. Kiritsugu then decided to tell Shiro how his mystic codes work. After the explanation Shiro traced his father's mystic code and his origin bullets which shocked his father. Shiro explained his magecraft in detail and how it works. He also explained how his elemental affinity and origin became "Sword" and his reality marble. Kiritsugu figured that Shiro may actually be able to ensure that his ideals could be accomplished so he decided to tell Shiro about his reality marble. "With the prana you have Shiro you may be able to train longer while still having time for your friends and family, but you can only do this with Avalon and the reality marble I gave you." "I understand, I won't let you down father!" He reassured him with a serious look on his face.
[At the Matou Household]
Shinji was eating his meal with Sakura, they were getting along better after four months. Zouken was there too, he was a lot more nicer to Shinji and Sakura than before. Thanks to the holy grail being destroyed and the Einzberns paying him a visit after they followed Shinji home, he remembered why he wanted eternal youth so badly that he would use his own family like tools. He felt bad and decided to make amends to his family by being a better person. Unfortunately he couldn't remove the worms he left inside of Sakura. "Jii-chan how is the food is it good?" Sakura asked him. "It's delicious Sakura you did a fine job preparing this dinner" He said with a heart-warming smile on his face. Sakura was glad that he liked it, so did Shinji who returned the same look towards Sakura saying, "Sakura you always make the best meals in our house."
Everything seemed just fine at the table when all of a sudden they heard a knock at the door. "I'll get it, Sakura you should have a seat and eat this delectable cuisine." Shinji walked up to the door, the door bell was ringing constantly like someone annoying was pressing it just for a laugh. Shinji opened the door and held himself back from yelling. The person at the door was wearing a cloak-like suit, shirt colored blue with gray vertical stripe design, pants colored black with silver stripes vertically from the waist down to the shoes. He was wearing a very horrifying mask that had dark colored rings with sharp teeth that looked fiendish and were carved near the neck, it had no nose with eyebrows that further accented the visage of terror he gave off.
