Sorry for the long wait
Folks, finally! I had created the first remake tho please due comment if it still was bad as hell but hey at least Gilgamesh wasn't a pain in the ass anymore.
Anyway before we started I do wanted to point some changes before I dive into the goddang remake.
1.) Like I said before Herakles won't be in this fic, some of you like him some of you don't but the problems is that... I can't make a gender bend Hercules! It sounded so wrong for some reason so I replaced him with another servants- An OC servants actually it hasn't appeared in (game) Fgo but probably gonna be added soon...
2.) There will be 2 Archer, 1 Saber, 1 Lancer, 1 Rider, 1 Assassin, 1 Caster, 1 Berserker... And 1 Ruler (Correct me if I'm wrong but if I remember correctly a Ruler class Servants will appear if there's an anomaly or a irregularities in the Grail war thus it will summoned one) Why you asked. Well It's a Grail war alright... But in another world without Magus association and spirit appearing here and there.
3.) I was actually thinking about adding a Foreigner class Servants but thinking about what can they do... It's disastrous and it's safe to say I'm a fan of mind twisting, reality warping/shaping, insanity devourer, Lovecraftion stuff. Kiara is a good example of overpowered servants in DaL universe (a beast ofc) but there's also Abigail Williams, Mysterious heroine XX, etc.
Well that can wait till next time and now do enjoy reading my remake.
I suggest read over a comfy sofa with a chocolate milk and snack, or tea if you are feeling classy
"monologue"
'intrusive thoughts'
"Communication"
"monologue" = God like being/ Powerful entity's
'Intrusive thoughts' = God like being/ Powerful entity's
Enjoy.
Chapter 1: The beginning
Flames. All he see is flames and scream, shouted of terror and curse's aimed at him yet he didn't care as he keep running, he doesn't know what's going on, shido doesn't know what's happening anymore. "This can't be real." He told himself yet he can feel the heat from the flame and the smell of blood and burned human meat. It sickening. Those people that trapped under the ruins, the mother who cried and begged him to help her child smashed under the boulder, a man cursing him shouting at him to let him out. Out of this burning ruins, this burning hell. Yet shido didn't listen, he didn't care all he cared was just to get out from there himself. All of this was caused by a spirit.
But then he remembers. "Kotori!" He immediately run and search for her, despite the pain, despite the horror happening around him. He must search her, he must find her sister! He fall and scratch his knees it pains him but he keep searching until he was to tired to even run, smoke filed his respiratory as he was started to breathing heavily. "Kotori." He weakly called hoping she will hear him, "Kotori." He try again hoping the same results. ",Koto-" He fall, unable to breath as smoke and dust began filling his lungs. When all hope seems lost it appears. *Boom* A bring light cover his vision 'Kotori, I'm sorry.' Is his thoughts, due to lack of oxygen he passed out unbeknownst to him an orb of light began to gathered Infront of him in the air, something was gathering a huge amount of reiryoku and it manifest... A golden cup that radiates a huge amount of holy energy appears before him floating like a prize ready to be claimed.
Suddenly a mysterious figure clad in black robes appears. "To think it would manifest here, the anomaly- Hmm?" The figure sounded feminine and could only be assume a girl looked at shido who was unconscious on the ground confused on 'Why would a child be here?'' She then looked at him then the grail then at him again, thus she get her answers. 'The boy!' Now it make sense on why it manifest here 'The grail beckoned to his calling' However a question appears in her head. 'Why?' It was strange to begin with, this grail had been dormant for years and now it suddenly appear out of nowhere and Infront of this boy. It could be coincidence but, eyeing the boy she also find something out of place 'His souls... It's not normal' she then looked at the sky, at the spirit that was causing all of this. She was about to stop all of this before. "Ko- tori." She looked at the boy who grabbed her feet seeing this it left her no choice. "Forgive me, but to insured the grail safety a sacrifice must be made." She then chant something as her gloves glow in green, she then grabbed the grail and pulled it to the boy. "I hope you can forgive me. To put such burden on your shoulder, at least... Please hold it until I returned and after that. I shall take that burden from your shoulder and carry it to mine." She then shoved the grail into shido chest, she watches as the grail slowly entering his body while shido began to squirm in pain, she also chanting something it was incoherent to shido ears but. Shido heard some of it.
"Engr... in... me, A Gra... for... ou." And shido lost his consciousness due to a painful forces that runs wild in his body, blue lines appears all around him as he can felt his very nerves turned into molten lava, he can feel like he was skin alive and was stitch back and skin again

"Gakh!" Shido woke up with pain in his chest as sweats trickled down his face 'Its a nightmare, just another nightmare' he thought to himself as he painfully force himself to sit. Looking around he sighs in relief as he found himself in his rooms, he then get out off his bed and began to walked down to the kitchen for water.
'It's weird I've been dreaming the same nightmare. Again and again it's always the same dream' He thought as he grabbed a glass and began filling it with water and drink it. He had the same nightmare about his past... *Sighs* looking at the clock that shows five Am in the morning, he then smiled and began to cooked breakfast for tohka, yoshino and kotori while also preparing for school today.

"Shido, It's time for lunch!" Tohka happily exclaimed before moving her desk to shido desk but. "What are you doing?" Tohka asked origami who also decided to move her desk to shido desk. "You are a nuisance." Tohka says glaring at her and didn't bother with courtesy.
"That should be my line." Origami retorted her face didn't change a bit while looking at tohka.
Shido that see this immediately jumped into action. "Why don't we just all have lunch together?" He asked hoping to prevent unnecessary blood shed.
Eventually both girls sit down but still glaring at each other, shido can only sighs as he open his lunch, but much to his discomfort both tohka and origami started to pestering each other.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
Suddenly a spacequake alarms was sounded accompany by a massive earthquake "W-what's going on?" Shido can feel that this spacequake is more bigger than the previous one, the window shattered, the whole room was thrashed.
"Shido!" Tohka shouted while holding to him. "Shido." Origami also hold on to him despite wanting to immediately go out and put on her CR she doesn't want to lose competitions against princess.
The earthquake stopped. "Students! To the spacequake bunker immediately!" Okamine sensei shouted and move all the students out.

(Pov Kotori)
Kotori was busy girl despite her age and looked she was a commander of a ship named Fraxinus that belongs to the Ratatoskr, she was a leader and a strategist, and foremost was a sister to his brother. They may not be connected trough blood but the closeness between the two can passed as a normal loving siblings.
However right now she was shocked and worried. "Commander what should we do?" Kannazuky ask while looking at the monitor with horror, how could he not?
"Nine! Nine spacequake!" Kannazuky shouted in terror as Nine spacequake appears all around the world. "Three in England, Two in France, and Four in japan! Four space spacequake detected here!" Right now everyone was panicking, this is the first time in history ever recorded that nine spacequake appears on the same day.
"It's mass spirit arrivals." Kotori says. "Reines, get the hermit here. It's not safe leaving her alone inside the house." Reine nodded and go to the teleporter immediately.
"Ma'am one of the spacequake was detected nearby." (Bad marriage) Reported. "It's a small one. Judging by it's size it's C rank spacequake," He then looked at her. "Your orders?"
Kotori think about it for a moment while looking at the spacequake. "Contacted shido, he can handle this one." She then looked at the monitor. "This is bad. There are three more spacequake meaning there are three more spirit."
Kotori take out a chuppa lollipop and suck it, she grins as she watches shido taking on his earpiece. "Well then. Let's start this date!"

(Pov ?)
Void... All he can see is void an endless darkness without color or light, where was he? This is not the throne at all... "For the Rootsake where the hell am I?" He asked to no one but also checked if there's actually someone who is hiding in the darkness of this place. Being a Counter Guardian all his life did thought him about enemies that hide in the darkness of their surrounding for their advantage. Looking around all he can see is black and darkness, there no cold and warm, no smell and taste, and certainly no gravity as he was floating.
"It must be confusing isn't it?" A voice suddenly echoes through the void, looking around he try to find the source. "Don't bother looking for me, you only tire yourself you know." It spokes with an amused tone.
"Then would you be so kindly to show yourself?" He asked while still eyeing his surrounding with caution. "As much as you like playing hide n seek I don't have much time in this place, so it'll be a help if you just appears." He asked waiting for something to happen.
"Hahahaha. You know how to amused yourself. Shirou." His eye widen. "Don't be so surprised. Afterall I didn't just randomly kidnapped one of her agent for shit n giggles I had motives you know." The being chuckled again, mocking him.
EMIYA, formerly Emiya shirou click his tongue clearly irritated by this being exclaimed while still looking around. "So you know me, huh. What are you then? Apostle? Demon?" Only bellowed laughter greeted him.
"Hahahahahahahahaha. Are you implying that I'm that low? Hahahahahah. This is preposterous, hahahaha." The being keep laughing much to Emiya irritations. "Haha. Hahah. Forgive me, it was just too funny to think that you would compared me with those insignificant ants, you had so much to learn my humble guest. But enough of that. There's a reason afterall why I brought here."
"Good. Make it quick, I don't had much time before she decided to hunt me down because my absence." Emiya didn't like waiting especially if he makes that 'goddes' awaits.
"Hoh. straight to the point hmm? Very well but before that why don't we speak in a much "Comfort" forms? Afterall you wouldn't want to look like a creep talking to yourself right." Suddenly a ripples was created Infront of Emiya as the darkness of the void move like water slowly raised, shaping into a figure. Emiya eyes widen as the figure emerges from the black water.
"You!" Emiya now was looking at a reflection, no. It was his younger self. It was Emiya shirou accept for his red eyes and white hair. But He could recognized that face anywhere, he then try to summoned Kanshou and Byakuya... But nothing happened.
"Surprised? You don't have to be so hostile, I'm merely picking the most suitable forms right now. Why's the face? Oh right, hahahaha. You did try and kill your younger self backed then... But don't worry I'm not him, I'm not another 'Hero of Justice'" This immediately set Emiya off as he try to punch the being but can't. There's a mysterious force keep dragging him back no matter how much he moved and try to punch this being. "Calm down. You only making yourself looked bad." The being try to reason but fall deaf on Emiya ear. Now the being was slowly irritated by Emiya behavior. "Ok that's enough!" Emiya suddenly unable to moves his body as he was pulled back away.
"Forgive me for my rude... Jokes but I hope you are not to minded about it. Afterall you're gonna neede your head for this one." The being apologize. With a smirks. "Anyway please calm down." Emiya did calm but still suspicious for this being.
"Fine. What do you want." Emiya asked immediately straight to the problems as he never wanted to deal with this mysterious entity's again, it reminded him to much of a certain second magic user. The being smiled in genuine joy but to Emiya it looks like it was having a sinister thought.
"Ah, finally! I was getting worried that you hate me." The being faked a pout much to Emiya disgust. "Anyway as I said I had an interesting job-" Emiya suddenly groaned in irritations.
"Seriously! What is it with you deities!? I already contracted with that goddess and now you also wanted me to work for you? For the roots this is getting out of hand." Emiya shouted in anger about the fact that he will receive another job again. True that he never rest receiving task from Alaya but another deities wanted him to do another dirty task? As if one goddess is not enough.
"I assure you that this job will be different from what you usually do." The being said trying to assured the counter guardian heart inorder for him to accept this job. Emiya merely raised his eyebrows.
"Oh? And to tell me what is this job you offering?" Emiya asked clearly not hoping much.
"It's simple really." The being smirks which didn't go unnoticed by him but decided to shrugged it off for now. "You see there's been an anomalies happening, and I want you to take care of it." Emiya listen closely. "A Grail happened to manifest somewhere outside of Gaia authority." This make him tense a bit. "Yes believed it or not a grail was manifested outside of the goddess authority and I wanted you take care of it." The being said as the void began to solidified into a chair he can sit to. "You know how chaotic things can get if the mortal get their hands on it." The being added.
"What do you mean?" Emiya was confused by what the entity said. "Hey! What do you mean by that?" Emiya asked again more seriously.
"Oh? You wanted to know?"

(Pov Shido)
Shido was informed that there's a new spirit appears. Unlike tohka and yoshino this spirit is newly appear so the ratatoskr had no idea how to handle it, but they can still managed so shido trusted their ability since he still pretty much new in this.
"3 km ahead of you shido." Kotori speak from his earpiece, he nodded and immediately run as fast as he can towards the location.
Reaching the location it was a construction site that was abandoned due to the spacequake, walking around he try to locate the spirit whereabouts. Suddenly his instinct screamed at him to dodge and he did so, a whistle pass him. He looked what it was and found it was a silver arrow that was glowing bright "Shido get away from that thing!" His eye widen from her sister warning. Before he can run it exploded. *Boom* "Ack!" He was sent hurdling towards the ground.
"Shido!" Kotori yell brought him out of his stupor as he eyed his surrounding.
"Hoh. You survived that, I must say I'm a bit impressed." Looking up shido eyes widen it was a girl clad in red shrouds, inside of it was a black clothing that appears to be a thin vest, black boots neatly strapped in her feet. Her hair was white- No more like silver, her eyes was golden yet it was mesmerizing and calculating at the same time, and for the first time shido ever encountered a tan skin spirit, a big black menacing bow in her hands 'has to be her angel!' but before he can pondered any longer the spirit materialized a silver sword in her hands before putting in it on her bow.
Shido eyes widen as the sword somehow altered it's form into an arrow. Shido and the ratatoskr was surprised that the spirit actually used sword as an arrow, she then aimed at shido again. "Wait! We can talked about this-" Before he can continue he immediately jumped to his side as the arrow strucked where he was before.
"Like I said a bit impressive, doesn't mean that you're impressive." She said as she materialized three swords and altered them aiming at him again.
She knocked the arrow and send them flying at high speed towards him, seeing this shido immediately run as fast as he can trying to dodge the flying sword-arrow from the bow spirit. Shido then hide behind an excavator while breathing heavily. "Shido, her suspicion of you is very high. Her emotion is... Unreadable? Shido we needed you to get closer." Kotori said while thinking of an option for his brother.
1.) "Please stopped this, your hurting me." Say with a pleading act. 30%
2.) "We can talked about this! I swear I won't lie!" Say with a determine and stern voice. 45%
3.) "Stop this at once! You are hurting others!" Say while doing a heroic pose. 25%
"Shido option two is the most viable!" Shido nodded and about to confront the spirit once again accept.
*Boom* Shido cover his ears from the explosion happening behind him 'Could it be...! The AST!' Shido fear the worse that he was acting to slow that the AST was already here, he then walked out from where he was hiding. But it wasn't AST members that he saw.
"Oraaa!" The bow spirit was dropkick by another girl in blue tight armour, her blue hair was tied into a ponytail, her red eyes glint with bloodlust, while having a battle hungry smirks. "So you were also sent here huh, archer." The other girl said while looking where she has dropkick the bow girl called archer?
"Shido hide now." Shido immediately run and search for a safe spot to hide momentarily. "I could not believed it. Another spirit already gotten here, how?" Shido was confused and shocked 'Another spirit?' It doesn't make sense "Kotori, what do you mean another?" He whispered while looking at the girl in blue that dropkick the archer spirit.
Suddenly from the rubles of the building came multiple arrows towards the girl in blue. She immediately lunge forward. "Come!" As she said that a glow appears on her hand as she materialized what shido presumed her angels. A red long spear that exuding a huge amount of bloodlust. The girl in blue immediately lunge forward towards the archer.
"Trace on" From the rubles archer appears with a twin swords on her hands surprising shido and the ratatoskr again. She then engaged combat with the blue spirit.
*clang* Swords meet spears, both girls doesn't even care about shido anymore and more focus on the battle at hand. The blue spirit move her thrust her spears to stab archer, she moved with speed unmatched in close range making archer had hard time parrying her spears. Archer on the other hand also left multiple tricks to deceive the other combatant by leaving fake opening to be taken advantage and take the blue spirit off guard.
Shido himself doesn't want to get close at this point as both spirit were engaged in a duel to death. Both of them move so fast and swift that he had hard time tracking where they going, only sounds of clanging metal can be heard as gust of wind also accompany the fight. Shido at this point was sweating more than usual, unlike tohka or yoshino who can easily be engaged conversation with, this two was not that easy. Well the archer was but the blue spirit maybe he can still try but for now he rather take a safe distance from the fight as both girls seems too occupied by each other.
"Shido retreat now!" Kotori ordered him from the earpiece.
"B-but what about-" "We can seal them later. Now you had to return, no more But!" Kotori cut him. Shido could only give the battling spirits a glance before making a haste retreat from the construction site.

(Pov Archer)
He hate what's going on, He was disappointed that he wasn't able to kill the young him, He despise that entity's humour, and worse of all... Why was he a girl!? However all that will have an answers but now he or she now must focus not to die by the blue lancer. For the roots how in the name of counter guardian he meet this guy again? Well more like a woman now but that doesn't change the fact that they once again engage battle after he almost getting rid of an... uninvited witnesses. Much to her surprised that this lancer is the exact same dog on a stick from the fifth war. Coincidence? I think not!
"Tch." She clicked her tongue while dodging another thrust from the lancer cursed spear, she then throw both of her swords towards her and materialized another pair before rushing at her appearing behind her before swinging kanshou. Lancer dodge the throwed sword and parry the attack, her eyes widen as archer was already behind her using her fast reflex she dodges archer swings and jumped away. "You had idea what's going on here?" Lancer asked while still eyeing her enemies.
"Why you asked me. I'm just as confused as you are." Archer tell her half truth afterall she didn't know why she was a girl and not a man so she technically didn't actually lie.
"I thought you'll know more, afterall you are a weird archer. I mean what kinda of archer use a sword?" Lancer said suspicious by archer words. "Says from a dog that use a stick." Archer smirks while lancer was irritated. "You know what, I don't need your help anyway! I can managed myself just fine." Lancer said huffing while crossing her arms. Archer eyes almost fell over when her boobs jiggle when she crossed her arms. "Hmm, maybe I should started calling you a cow. Especially how that pair of fat in your chest jiggle." Archer smirks while lancer looked furious and glared at her own boobs. "Hey! I don't asked to be summoned with this!" Lancer hissed while now too focused on her boobs 'Is this how master felt?'
Archer dematerialize her twin blades and walked away. "Hey! Where do you think you're going!" Lancer shouted while now looking at the retreating figure of archer. "They're coming. Girls in weird magical suits, they're a pain in the ass so I'm gonna do what's logical." Lancer raised an eyebrow. "Running away like a chicken?" She asked while smirking. Archer sighs and keep walking before disappearing leaving only blue particles. "Tch, I was gonna leave anyway... But don't think this is over! You hear me archer! We're not done yet!" Lancer shouted to no one before also disappear leaving only blue particles.
