Story beginning
We were sitting inside classroom 1-A.
Since the 3 of us were alone in the school this time around it was nearly spooky how quiet it was.
If i wouldn't had so many questions in my mind then i would have maybe even noticed that.
In front of me sitting was Tohsaka Rin. The honor student of our school. But she was more than that. And i knew that for quite a while already.
My dad told me back then during the beginning of my magecraft-lessons about all the magi families residing in Fuyuki City he knew about.
And even among them the Tohsaka family was special.
They practically owned this City after all.
The supervisor from the mages association. Used bybthe association to watch over this city since there are extraordinarily strong leylines here.
But she apparently didn't knew that i was a magi as well.
And i could see that it was annoying her.
It was an expression i never saw before on her face.
But it wasn't like i ever really talked to her anyway.
I only knew her from passing by or the rumors about her going around in school.
In fact i only knew her friendly smiling and happy.
Seems like that wasn't the real Tohsaka Rin.
Right now she had a face that i could only describe as enraged.
In contrast to that her so called 'Servant' Rider was standing with a calm and collected expression behind her.
Now that he wasn't wearing his helmet anymore i could clearly see his pointed ears and couldn't stop but wonder if he was some sort of fantasy fanatic that gone through an medical operation to appear more like an elf.
His face in general appeared to be of noble nature and his skin was emitting a faint glow. His rather beautiful brown hair only supported the idea of him being a nobleman.
As though as analyzing me his brown eyes were calmly resting on me.
"Okay i think i will begin by explaining the basics of the grail war as simple as i can and then answer your questions as good as i can. After that i will have to ask you some questions. Is that okay with you Emiya-kun?"
Calming herself and giving me now a serious look Tohsaka began to speak.
I nodded.
"Good.The holy grail war is like the names states a war. A war among 7 magi.
The winner of the war will be granted the holy grail."
"As in the all granting wishing device from legends? "
"Yes that's right but please don't say anything anymore until i am finished explaining. Got that?"
"Yes, sorry"
"Okay as i said the price is the holy grail or rather one wish to the grail. In other words the winner can have any one wish granted he wants.
At the beginning of the war every of the 7 magi, during the war called 'Master', summons one Servant. The servants are so called 'heroic spirits', legendary heroes from the past present or future remembered by humanity for the things they did.
The servants and masters are to fight each other until only one servant remains. Then the servant and master pair remaining can each have a wish granted. Can you follow me so far? "
"Yeah i think so. You are basically saying 7 magi summon 7 servants or legendary heroes and try to kill each other to have a wish granted. A wish without any limitations since it is an all granting wishing device. right? But what if i don't have a wish i want to be granted by the grail?"
"If that would be the case the grail wouldn't have chosen you as a master. Somewhere deep within you is something you need the grail for."
Stating this as though as it was a given she continued explaining.
"The command seals that appeared on your hand are showing that you are one of the 7 master. Each one has 3 of them. They can use them to give an absolute command to the servant they are contracted to. So a command the servant cannot disobey. However if they used all 3 of them they have no longer the right to be a master. Short they can't any longer have a wish granted by the grail."
"But what has this to do with me? I don't see why i should participate in this grail war. Or why that grail should chose me as a master."
It was here servant who spoke up now.
"The simple fact that the grail chosen you means that he can serve some purpose to you. And beside that, the expression i got from you is that you want to protect people. right? If that is so then imagine for a moment what could happen if someone with evil intents wins the grail. There are no limitations to the wish after all. Not even world destruction or other rather unfortunate scenario are possible to wish for."
Damn it i couldn't say that he isn't stating the truth. It was an all granting wishing device after all and i doubt the grail has a conscious that says 'no' to any dangerous wish.
"hmm that seems true. Damn me and my bad luck. I get always drawn into situations like this."
"What do you mean by that? Emiya-kun"
I could clearly see the curiosity on Tohsakas face.
Well she cleared the major questions in my head after all, guess i can answer her questions now.
"Well i want to say that this is not the first time things go like this for me. It's like that all the time. guess my luck is just so bad. Can't help it though. Now you said you had questions to me. What do you want to know from me?"
"Well let's start with the simple question why are you here? I'm the supervisor of Fuyuki city. I practically own this city. And every magus settling down here has to tell me so. How is it that i don't know about you?"
Going back to an enraged expression Tohsaka glared at me seemingly annoyed that she didn't knew i was a magus all the time.
"Well i don't know. I thought my dad told the supervisor that he started to live here. And that he started to train me. But it is not like my dad or i ever joined the association. So i had not the duty to tell you about me."
I could clearly see how Tohsakas face went to an even more angered expression. She spoke up however with a calm yet threatening voice.
"So in other words you and your dad are freelancers. That means i have the right to eliminate you if i think you are dangerous. And i could definitely find some reasons to tell the association why i had to kill you two."
Wow she was serious. Ok Shirou think about what you say now i don't want to end up fighting her here and now.
"Hmmm that's true. But my dad died 5 years ago and you saw how i fought the Fraga. Don't think it's easy to eliminate me."
Rider despite being quiet a while spoke up.
"Despite that master it's not very prideful to kill your savior right after he saved you."
"Be quiet Rider. This is a conversation between magi. Not between Savior and saved one."
Tohsaka didn't even bothered looking at her servant, who rolled with his eyes seemingly annoyed, and instead gave a now serious but calm look no longer any sign of anger or rage readable from her face.
"I still disapprove of this way of thinking. But i will stay quiet for now. Just as you wish master"
Rider sat down on a chair closed his eyes and gave a focused expression.
"At least i know you're not in danger anymore. Guess i go into spirit mode and relax a bit. "
Having said that he just disappeared.
"What the hell? Where did he go to?"
Tohsaka must have sawn my confused expression since she was laughing at me a bit.
"He is still here ... just no one can see him. Its one of the abilities every servant possesses. Nothing special."
How could Tohsaka state something like that like its nothing? He freaking disappeared. But i cacn think about that later.
"Well i don't get it but ok. Any more questions?"
"Actually i have a lot but you won't answer most of them i think. hmm...
Just one more for now. Will you team up with me?
I mean you said yourself you have no wish to the grail. So why don't you help me winning this war, mr. fake janitor? "
"Well everyone knows how much i like to help but i have to decline for now. I was on quite a few sealing designate or dead apostle hunts already to know that i can't just trust a magus blindly. Many have a friendly facade on the outside but are ugly in the inside. I don't know enough about you to join forces in such an event. I'm sorry Tohsaka. "
Tohsaka looked at me a bit annoyed now. Did i say something wrong?
"You know, i am a prideful person Emiya-kun so i feel a little angry about your statement not to be able to trust me... but i can understand your reasons."
Grabbing a pencil and a piece of paper from the desk next to her she quickly wrote something and gave me the paper.
"What is this?"
It appeared to be written in a foreign language that reminded me a bit of the german words standijg in some of my books.
"The aria you need for the servant summon and everything else you need to know about the summon. You saved my life after all i can't let you walk home without showing you how to protect yourself in this war. This is it for now. Rider we are leaving."
"Thanks Tohsaka. For the information you gave me."
"I have to say thanks for saving me Emiya-kun. This just pays back my debt."
"You know, i didn't saved you to gain anything."
"Yeah Yeah fake janitor. I just don't like being saved without repaying anything. See you sometime around then.
Oh yeah and after you summoned your servant you have to go yo the church and see the priest. Kotomine Kirei. He is the supervisor of the war."
"Got it. Take care of yourself Tohsaka."
Scene break
I was standing in my shed.
The circle for the servant summon in front of me.
surprisingly i didn't had to draw the circle myself. There was one already in a corner of the shed. I always wondered what dad used that circle for. Probably he summoned his servant here 10 years ago. The aria Tohsaka gave wasn't that hard to remember. However the aria includes was in a different language.
German maybe? Well who cares i hope i don't mess up with the pronunciation.
All preparations complete i started to chant and follow the steps Tohsaka wrote onto the paper.
The circle started to glow brightly and i could feel how to ritual drained my Od.
Exhausted i sat down.
The summon was successful it seems. In front of me was surprisingly the man i dreamed about the night before. Wearing the same costume as in my dream and 2 katanas on his back he turned to me and spoke up.
"Well i guess i go with the cannon version. I ask of you, are you my master?"
Cannon? what is he talking about?
I was seemingly a bit confused and somehow i knew that under the mask the man was smiling.
But whatever.
"Yes i am your master. Please tell me your name."
"And revealing to the reader who i am? why should i do that?
...But most of them will probably believe to know who i am anyway. soooo guess i'll just tell you huh?"
"yes please do. so i can know who i am dealing with."
"My name is Wade Wilson. But fans call me Deadpool. Nice to work with ya bro."
"Fans? so you mean in your legend you are known as Deadpool?"
"No fans as in fans, people who like and love me.
My conics and movie. But you could say i am remembered as Deadpool."
Wow just like in my dream he was talking weir thin.
"Okay. What is your class?"
His eyes widened, at least the eye holes in his mask did so.
Pointing a finger at me he started to shout.
"What? You summoned me and don't know my class? Unbelievable how can you not know my class? I'm a Saber of course can't you see that?"
"Sorry... Saber."
He calmed down. Hey that was easy.
"Well i can forgive you. Now didn't that Tohsaka girl said you have to go see that priest after the summon?"
"Yes she did"
Wait a moment. Confused i spoke up.
"How do you know about that? You wasn't even summoned when she said that?"
"I read the fan fiction up to this point dude. Isn't that obvious?"
Wow what an unhelpful statement.
"What the hell are you talking about? "
"I'm talking about how we are living in a fictive story, a fan fiction to be exact, and i read it up to this point. So i know everything that happened in the story till now."
Again something so confusing.
"You are weird. Anybody ever told you that? "
"All the time. I was told that all the time during my life. "
That settles i had to stop this conversation.
Slowly i stood up.
"Well then let's go to that priest Saber"
"Got it lets go"
Scene break
Kotomine was bored.
And so was the blonde man with red eyes in front of him.
As the supervisor of the holy grail war he knew that the last servant, Saber was summoned a few moments ago.
And the men sitting in front of him seemed to know that as well.
That would mean that saber's master would come by to the church tonight. To tell him that he was participating.
As if he didn't knew that already...
He was bored.
So what should he do to make things interesting?
"Kotomine i am bored do something otherwise i might kill you"
Standing up the blonde man spoke up and took a look outside through the window.
"I am as bored as you Gilgamesh. But the last servant was just summoned what means we will see interesting fight in the next few weeks."
Taking a sip from the wine in front of him Kotomine thought about who the last master could be.
"I know Kotomine but that is why i am bored. I don't simply want to watch them fighting. I saw enough battlefields in my life. I want to see them struggling, i want to see something new. Something i never saw before"
Gilgamesh turned around glaring at Kotomine.
"You are the supervisor of the war. Surely you can make things more interesting for me"
Kotomine gave him a thoughtful expression.
The master are fighting for the grail alongside a servant.
The same scenario as 10 years ago when he participated in the last war.
But the grail was cursed and the master didn't knew that.
An idea came to his mind. Maybe if he would...
"I think i know something. I could tell them about the curse of the grail. If they know from the very beginning that the grail can only make a wish come true through destruction then surely the war will be more interesting than normally"
Gilgamesh's eyes sparkled at his thought. Quickly he pulled a new bottle wine out of the gates of babylon.
"You are a genius Kotomine. That will be something worth to entertain me. Let us have a glass of one my best wines to celebrate this thought."
Kotomine looked at Gilgamesh.
"You know saber's master will be here every moment and then i have to tell the other masters about the curse. I can't do that drunken. You have to excuse me but i will drink after i did those 2 things"
"How unfortunate but true. Fine i shall wait with the wine. Just make things quick Kotomine. Don't make me wait or you'll wont see the fruits of your idea"
"Thanks for understanding Lord Gilgamesh. I shall do it as quickly as possible. Then if you excuse me i will prepare myself"
Kotomine stood up and walked out of the room. Just as he reached the door his phone alarm went off. Taking a quick look on it he noticed it was from Tohsaka Rin.
Using a phone was the only technology related thing he ever showed to her.
"Who is it Kitomine? "
"Tohsaka again. Probably to ask who killed her father again"
"Why don't you tell her already? could make things interesting"
"Well i wont tell her the truth. But i know that yhe son of the magus killer, Emiya Kiritsugu, lives in town and goes to the same school as her and he is at the same age. Could be interesting if i tell her the magus killer did it"
"The son of Sabers master? That could indeed be interesting. If he was trained by his father at least. I approve of this course of action go and tell her that story"
"Thanks lord Gilgamesh"
Quickly he picked up the phone.
"Yes Rin? What is it?"
"Don't 'what is it?' me!!! Just tell me already who killed my father!"
"Okay i will do so"
"because if you dont do so- Wait what? You finally tell me?"
"Yes i believe you are old enough for the truth now. And you have a right to know."
"Okay just tell me the name"
"Emiya Kiritsugu, the magus killer"
"Emiya huh? that's interesting"
"what will you do now, Rin?"
"what I'll do? I'll kill his son. after all Kiritsugu himself is dead"
"I didn't knew that the magus killer died. I wish you good luck killing his son.
Oh and by the way Rin, i will be calling all masters together tonight. I have an important announcement to make"
"What you are taking your job serious for once? Good I'll be there. Bye you stupid priest"
"Bye Rin"
"You are really good at manipulating others Kotomine i give you that"
"Thanks Gilgamesh. I'll will be making preparations then"
Kotomine went through the door out of the room.
"Let's make things interesting"
