Like something? feel free to tell me

Hate/dislike something? tell me so i can improve.

I hope you enjoy the story.

Story beginning

It was dark.

Everything around him was cold and dark.

But even so he knew what was going on in the world he was no longer dwelling in.

He already gave the master unusual servants.

But the grail war still seemed too dull.

And certainly the possibility of his revival at the final stage of the war became rather low.

Thanks to that priest. He wanted to make things more interesting. That was okay to angra mainyu.

But his actions still lowered his chance of revival.

And that was the most significant thing to him at the moment.

Yes, he wanted to live once more and destroy all of humankind.

He wanted to destroy those who are the reason he was unable to obtain happiness.

All of humanity.

There was nevertheless a chance that it could happen. However it was a slim chance.

Perhaps he will have to interfere even more.

Letting that girl he was contracted to go completely crazy?

Or something different?

He decided to wait for now and look how things are developing.

But he would do everything necessary to be revived when it got down to it.

And so Angra mainyu continued to observe the holy grail war that could bring him back to life.

Scene break

Illyasviel von Einzbern was lying in her bed.

She was upset that her maids prevented her from going out.

"I wanted to see Onii-chan before i kill him. Play his little sister for a bit. And then enjoy his expression when I kill him. Stupid maids"

Yes he did deserve to die. He was the reason her father left her. He was the reason she had to grow up without him.

Perhaps she was just a little bit jealous.

He had the opportunity to grow up with Kiritsugu.

The chance she didn't had.

But she would still kill him for that.

'Who cares for the grail? As its vessel I never had a chance to get it anyway.'

Thus she would kill her brother. And then she would wait for her death by becoming the grails vessel.

And with caster at her side there was nothing to stop her.

Not even her Maids could stop her from going out.

"Caster!!!! Carry me out I want to visit the town!!"

The adult male wearing a metallic mask and armor together with a green cape shot a simple beam of energy to blow a hole into the wall.

Then he grabbed Illyasviel and carried her towards the town at the other end of the woods.

Seriously, a berserker would have been so much more fun.

Scene break

It was about seven in the morning and I just finished my morning training.

Walking towards the living room, I could scent that someone was working in the kitchen, or nearly finished.

Guess Sakura was earlier here than i believed.

I didn't expect her to show up so early when we had a day away from school.

Walking into the living room i saw the girl with purple hair.

"Morning Sakura. Didn't knew you would come so early."

She turned around to look at me.

"Morning Senpai. Don't be mad, but breakfast is already done and ready to be consumed. I imagined you were hungry after training."

Yep i definitely was. Training with saber was exhausting. I couldn't match his speed and strength no matter how far i reinforced myself or what runes i used.

And saber loved to show how much stronger and faster he was.

As a result of that I was very hungry and was feeling pain all over.

Just hope Sakura won't notice.

"Yeah, thank you Sakura"

I sat down at the table together with Sakura.

Suddenly we heard the front door open.

"Shirou-chaaaaaaan. I am hungry."

Storming into the room like a force of nature came Fuji-nee.

Should have anticipated that she rarely missed a meal at the Emiya residence.

"Morning Fuji-nee your timing is perfect. We were just about to begin"

"I already made something for you Fujimura-Sensei. I knew you would come hungry"

"Oh Sakura-chan. You made breakfast today? Shirou shouldn't that be your job?"

"Oh no Senpai was training when I got. He wasn't even noticing that i am here. So it's all right"

Well, like always it was getting very lively when Fuji-nee arrived.

But i knew how to calm her down.

"Fuji-nee if you don't stop complaining you won't be permitted to eat anything"

Looking calmly at her i tried to look as seriously as possible.

"Whaaaat are serious Shirou-chan? You can't be serious right? Right? RIGHT?"

Tears beginning to roll down her face, she was practically begging me to allow her food.

"Only if you behave yourself"

"Okay i will do Shirou-chan. I will be very nice"

And so another chaotic morning at the Emiya residence went over.

Scene break

It was twelve o'clock now and I discovered an empty fridge.

Normally I wanted to have another talk with Saber, but with Sakura and Fuji-nee around I ordered him to stay in spiritual form. I wanted to evade weird question about him.

Thus I decided to start thinking about what to make for dinner. Well the fridge was empty, so I estimate I have free choice. I would simply need to go and buy groceries.

"Sakura, Fuji-nee I'm out shopping!!! The fridge is empty again."

Without waiting for a response i walked out of the door.

Scene break

Liam was getting bored.

At the moment he was sitting on a tree near the Emiya residence.

It was fairly easy to find out where the boy was living. It required him only around fifteen minutes to do so.

Liam wanted to speak to the boy.However, with a non magus in the house right now there was no way he would speak about the grail war now with the boy..

Thus he had two options.

The first one was to walk in put the non magus asleep by hypnotizing her.

But that appeared to be rude to him.

Thus he decided to go with the second option.

Waiting until either the non magus or the Emiya boy would leave the house.

And thus he waited twenty minutes until the boy finally came out of the house.

Liam waited until he walked two corners before approaching him.

"Okay lancer let's hope for the best."

"Good luck master. I will stay in spiritual form for the conversation"

"Do that please"

Leaping out from the tree and using his runes to run after the boy he said with a loud, clear but calm voice:

"Emiya Shirou! We need to talk."

Liam wore a mask during their last meeting so that other masters couldn't identify him that easily. That's why he was certain he would have enough time explaining himself before the boy would recognize him as lancers master.

Scene break

"Emiya Shirou! We need to talk."

I was not even for five minutes out of the house when those words made me turn around.

Behind me was a young looking man. Possibly in his mid twenties. He was wearing blue jeans and a black shirt. Guessing from his blonde hair I could say that he was most likely a foreigner.

"Who are you? And more importantly, how do you know me? I don't believe we have met before."

With his following words I changed over to combat mode. A simple sword traced into my good hand.

"We need to speak about the Holy grail war."

Curiously, he gave the blade a look and then merely stated.

"The halberd you used last time is obviously not the only thing you can do.""

Halberd? Then he must be...

"Lancers master..."

"Liam Fraga de Barra. Honored to meet you, Emiya Shirou. I reckon you was not the master missing last time, and then you know about the grails curse. I want to speak with you about that."

Slightly bowing while he said so he pointed at a restaurant nearby.

"Why don't we speak over there? It's always more comfortable for me to have long conversations while I'm eating something. What do you say to that? I will make up for both of us, of course"

Hmm... That's weird last time we saw each other he was totally different. And he desired to make me pay for hurting him as well. His shoulder appeared to be fully healed as well.

"That's all right for me. I'm just curious. Didn't you wanted to make me pay for last time?"

"Yes i haven't forgotten that. However i dislike unnecessary violence. Hence, I have to await until you do something bad."

That sounded different last time. Whatever, it seems he does not desire to fight now so I could listen to what he has to say.

"Okay the let's go."

Thus I followed him into the restaurant. He ordered a bunch of food. It seemed like half of what the restaurant had to offer.

How could someone eat that much alone?

Taking his offer to pay for me i ordered ramen soup.

The other guests and restaurant worker were curiously eying Liam. Probably asking them self the same question. How can he eat so much.

"So what do you want to speak about?"

"Am I right to assume that you desire to protect people Emiya-kun?"

Looking up to him, while eating the soup, i gave him a curious look.

The question aside. He already ate half of what he ordered. Damn i was sure he used some kind of magic for that. No way could someone eat so much so fast while starting a conversation.

Magic indeed, there was simply no other explanation i could find for this.

But back to the topic.

"Yes that is true. I guess you want to know if that's why I'm staying a participant in the grail war. If that's so then, yes that is my reason. But i am curious as to why you are asking me such a question. Last night you seemed quite aggressive to me. That's why i believe you have different reasons. Am i right with that?"

Well i didn't saw much yesterday. However, he looked very eager to kill Tohsaka. And then even me. An outsider during that time. Not that he really had any other options.

"Did it looked that way? I'm sorry that is not how I normally am. You see i dislike unnecessary violence. However i lost my temper after Riders master provoked me. I'm sorry for that. And no I have the same reason. At least a similar one. You see I joined this war with the promise to use the Grail in order to improve this world. To make it a peaceful one. However, with that curse I believe the grail would destroy the world in order to accomplish that. How unfortunate."

We both ended up eating at this point.

"If that is how it is then what do you want from me?"

Whatever it was I could at least set him onto the list of masters with no more interest in the grail. That was really good. But I still had to throw an eye on him in the future. You never know the genuine intentions of another person after all.

"I want to find and terminate the master who would keep going after the grail. But it's foolish trying to do so alone. I desire to have an alliance with you. Together we have a better chance at finishing them. What do you say?"

An alliance huh? It's true together we should have a better chance. However, I still don't know a lot about him. Furthermore he tried to kill Tohsaka. Even if she was truly totally different then in school i still don't believe she was one of the bad guys. That's why i cant fully trust him. But taking in him an enemy right now wouldn't be wise either. This was a very complicated situation.

On the one hand, I could accept and assume the risk that he kill me one day when I have my guard down.

On the other hand, I have no idea how he would react when I reject his offer.

And this wasn't a halfhearted offer like Tohsakas yesterday. He seriously thought about that. And my decision now would affect how he will act in the future.

Eyeing him carefully while thinking every possible scenario from now on I took roughly five minutes to think about his offer.

"I have conditions when you agree to them i will accept."

"And those conditions are?"

"First we keep the identity of our servants a secret and we will share every other information regarding the war with each other"

"That's only natural. I can agree to that."

"Second my residence will be the base of operation. The defenses left by my dad are rather beneficial and its located rather good in the town."

That way i could always keep an eye one him.

"Well i can agree to that if you permit the non magus from entering. And as for the other master, that purple haired girl, I will have to find out her intentions first."

"Yeah, I don't desire to involve Fuji-nee or Saku...

WAIT WHAT? SAKURA IS A MASTER?"

That can't be right. Right? Was Sakura even magus?

"Oh you didn't knew... Than i have to check her even better if she didn't even told you about it. hmm... interesting."

Wait, what did he imply by that?

"If you hurt Sakura i will kill you."

"Don't worry i will not do that. Except she is one of the bad guys."

"Then i can assure you thats not the case. Sakura wouldnt use the grail under those circumstances."

"We will see about that.So you agree to that?"

"Yes, but i have a third condition. Well its not actually a condition but rather a request."

"Oh tell me"

"Since you are a Fraga it means you know a lot about runecraft. I only possess a book with a few basic runes that I got from my dad. He asked a friend who still owned him one to create it so he can teach me a bit about it. But i cant find any more advanced runes in it. So I've been thinking. I aid you against those masters who desire evil and you help me in advance my runecraft a bit. Dont have to be any runes unique to the Fraga family but some more advanced would be cool."

"Hmmm... i could help you a little bit with that. But just a little bit. Having an even stronger partner in this battle will surely help."

"Thats all i was hoping for. Thanks.

So I found an allied master and some help for my runecraft out of this. Guess it is a success on all views.

"So when will we start making plans?"

Liam thought for a moment then smiled.

"I will first check that Sakura girls intention towards the grail."

Seriously, didn't I just stated that she wasn't one of the bad guys? Yeah, well whatever.

"Okay if you need to do so to then so."

Thus we made our way back to Emiya residence. Without buying groceries. Damn have to do that afterwards.

Scene break

Back home, I first had to explain to Fuji-nee that she couldn't come over for a while.

Honestly, she nearly cried at the idea of not being able to eat in the Emiya residence.

I had to tell her that i will be so busy that i couldnt make her food anyway.

Well that was partly true after all.

In the end she had no other choice then to accept it.

But I was feeling bad when she exited the house with tears in her eyes.

That was leading to the situation right now.

Liam, Sakura and I sitting at the table and Liam asking Sakura all kinds of questions.

After a while he decided that Sakura would be fine for now.

And so we showed our servants to each other and declared their class.

Liam's Lancer was wearing the same gothic lolica outfit from earlier. Most likely her favorite dress.

Saber showing for a moment, and then said hello. His weirdness coming through once more, he started to talk something about a "heavens feel"-route and that Sakura could mean problems. Not in the mood to listen to his weird crap i told him to go back to spirit mode.

Then Sakura revealed her servant. The air in the room changed suddenly as her servant materialized behind her.

My instincts told me that he was seriously dangerous.

She introduced her warrior in a red draconian armor as berserker.

Yes defintitely dangerous.

"So there are 3 of the srongest ervants here. Should be easy to protect the grail from evil masters."

For the first time i saw Liam relaxed.

He seriously seemed to believe we couldn't be defeated like this

But it was also good that he was so relaxed. Like this there was no tense atmosphere. And thus we could quickly decide on a course of action.

Later on a few hours of discussing and learning new runes, we all decided that we would start taking action on the following day.

I have to say. Liam isn't so bad as i thought first.

Okay, now what?

I still need to get groceries!

Scene break

It was slowly getting late, but I found all the groceries I needed to stock up.

I was the only one walking down the street.

"Hey, don't forget to tell the reader that I am here as well. Seriously, why do you constantly tell me to go into a spiritual form dude?"

"Because your annoying. And seriously who are those reader you are talking about?"

I mean really it was bothersome to not know that.

He was just about to reply when he me kicked to the side.

Confused, I looked to the place I was standing a few seconds ago and dropped half the groceries, just to see the place and the groceries I dropped completely destroyed.

A hole at least three meter into the earth was what I saw instead.

I didn't hesitated. Quickly tracing a simple katana into my hands, I looked round. This could have been caused only by a master and his servant.

"Saber where is the enemy?"

"Well, that doesn't matter the foe comes to us, dude."

"Hello Oni-chan. Finally i can kill you. Caster use everything you have"

"As you wish master"

Turning around I saw a girl with white hair and crimson eyes. She was maybe twelve years I guess. Behind her standing in a metallic armor and a green cape was the one who was apparently caster. I couldn't picture his face, however, since he also wore a metallic mask.

And that servant was staring at Saber. And Saber was staring back.

"Yo Victor, how are you doong?"

Saber simply raised his hand and greeted Caster.

WHAT THE HELL?

"Saber you know that guy?"

"Yes sure I do. We saw each other a few times in my life."

The girl, seemingly as astonished as i was, turned to her servant.

"Caster, you know Saber? Quick tell me who he is."

"Yes it's true i know him. But i already told you to not order me around like that."

Saber laughed.

"Haha yes thats true Victor likely everyone her knows that. The reader, the author, you and me. Just your cute little master doesnt know. HAHA"

"Shut up Wilson. Weird as always huh?"

Turning away from saber, caster answered his masters question.

"This, master, is Wade Wilson also known as Deadpool. He is very weird and irritating. Even during life he was a complicated enemy. And now he holds the magic resistance of the Saber class. I can't tell for sure if I can defeat him. If that's even possible, that is. But i shall kill his master."

"Yes finally. GO CASTER, KILL SHIROU!!"

Making myself ready for combat I could simply think about two things.

Why is she calling me "Oni-chan"?

And it looks like I should have stayed home.
