They arrived and saw that everyone was ok and that there was a lot of prisoners with Luna holding up her father.
"Hey, Yuto." Oda said seeing him
"Did you guys have any trouble?" Yuto asks.
"No, we didn't thanks to the Shadow Clone Jutsu and the help from the Isekai members we brought with us it was a clinch." Oda said with a smile before she notices something.
"What happened to your visor?" Oda asks.
"Menma came back. He's working with Sid and Team Dark." Yuto said.
"Explain and in full details too." Oda said in a no-nonsense tone and look. Yuto upon seeing her look and hearing her tone quickly explains what happened.
"You idiot!" Oda yells at him pulling his ear with just enough strength to cause pain but not tear off his ear.
"Ow-ow-ow-ow!" Yuto said in pain.
"Why did you used that form! You have other forms too! Not to mention you have other powers and abilities as well! Plus, you weren't the only one there!" Oda yells at him.
"I could sense it. Menma was way stronger than he was before, so I knew I had to use that form as that was my strongest form. Otherwise we all would have been killed." Yuto said defending himself. Oda lets go of his ear and stares at him before sighing.
"Fine but you are going to make up if worrying us like that." Oda said with a firm tone and look as Yakumo and Kurumi joins her with their own firm looks.
"That's fair." Yuto said sighing in defeat as he rubs his red ear. "How do you girls want me to make it up to you?"
"I have an idea, but we'll discuss it later." Oda said as she has a feeling the harem is going to grow a bit more.
"Fine." Yuto said as he stops rubbing his ear and looks at Luna, her dad, and all the other prisoners. "I'm going to have to make a lot of Clones."
"Yeah, you are." Yakumo said as there was a lot of people they needed to heal.
"Yuto did you save my sister?" Luna asks concerned about her sister.
"I did and Kaori is healing her now. They were experimenting on her so I'm not sure how bad the damage is." Yuto said truthfully.
"Thank you, Yuto." Luna said gratefully as a tear went down her check before she wipes it off.
"Yes, thank you, young man and thanks to all of you." Luna's father said gratefully as well.
"It was no problem. Now let's get you guys somewhere safe." Yuto said with a smile as he prepares to make enough Shadow Clones to get everyone to the village.
(Hours later)
Everyone was back at the village and all the healers were hard at work healing who they could. Oda and Yakumo had to consume some Chakra Pills to refill their Chakra levels while Yuto and the others were expending the village making walls to defend the village and temporarily homes for the former prisoners.
"Man, there is a lot of work to do." Yuto said as he had a thousand clones helping and he was producing tons of steel as well just in case.
"Thank you all for making new homes and the walls as well as some weapons." The Village Chief said in gratitude.
"No problem. We are using your village to take care of the people we saved so doing this is the least we can do." Yuto said.
"Still there is the worry about food though. Eventually the food we have will run out." The Village Chef said.
"Yeah, there is that plus we have to worry about the people that mage was working with, but we did stop them for now and caused a lot of damage." Yuto said with a frown.
"I sectioned a good area for farming and added some stuff to the ground to help plant growth for the next few years." Zelretch said as he shows up make everyone to jump up in surprise.
"Damn it Zelretch! Did you really have to do that!?" Oda yells angrily before noticing the person with him.
"S-Shirou?" Oda questions in surprise as the person with Zelretch was Counter Guardian Shirou Emiya.
"Illya." EMIYA said.
"How did you know?" Oda questions in shock and surprise.
"Zelretch told me." EMIYA said.
"Shirou Emiya. The person I gotten Unlimited Blade Works from." Yuto mutters quietly but EMIYA hears him.
"So, you are the one who Zelretch gave a version of Unlimited Blade Works too." EMIYA said.
"Yeah I am." Yuto answers as he stares at him.
"Yuto, can you give me Daito so I can fix him." Zelretch asks.
"Yeah." Yuto said as he takes off Daito's pieces and hands him over to Zelretch.
"Thanks. I'll start repairs on him now." Zelretch said as he enters a portal.
"Tell me why do you fight?" EMIYA asks Yuto.
"I fight to protect the people I love and to Become a symbol of Hope. A Symbol that one day there will be no more conflict." Yuto said.
"Have you taken lives in doing so?" EMIYA asks.
"Yes, I have." Yuto said.
"You know we're always trying to justify our actions with ideals. But ideals cannot give grounds for killing another person. The act of taking a life will always be considered... evil." EMIYA said.
"You're right. I have taken lives, but I don't make excuses and try to justify it. I know that one day I will be punished for my sins, but I won't let my life end like yours did. I'm going to live my life surrounded by the ones I love. I won't push them away." Yuto said.
"Then let's test that resolve of yours." EMIYA said as he brings out the Married Blades causing Yuto to do the same.
"Let me show you what I've learned!" Yuto yells as he swings his swords at EMIYA who blocks Yuto's swords with his own. EMIYA then quickly kicks at Yuto, but Yuto quickly dodges the kick by breaking the blade lock and jumping away.
"You dodged that. Good. There's no way someone who can't even protect himself can protect anyone else, is there?" EMIYA questions Yuto.
"Yeah. If I can't at least do something as simple as that I would be a bad future king." Yuto said.
"Do not think about other things, there is only one thing you can do. So, master that one thing. Do not forget. What you must imagine is always that you, yourself, are the strongest. You do not need outside enemies. For you, the one you have to fight is none other than your own image." EMIYA said.
"I got it. You know you're pretty strong. I'll have to try harder to keep up!" Yuto said with a smirk. EMIYA chuckles a bit.
"Then how about we kick it up a notch?" EMIYA asks and Yuto understands what EMIYA was asking.
"Let's do it." Yuto said seriously.
"I am the bone of my sword. " Yuto and EMIYA chants.
"Steel is my body, and fire is my blood." Yuto and EMIYA chants.
"I have created over a thousand blades." Yuto and EMIYA chants.
"Filled with hope yet filled with despair/Unknown to death. Nor known to life." Yuto and EMIYA chants.
"Withstanding great pain and despair to forge hope/Have withstood pain to create many weapons." Yuto and EMIYA chants.
"My scared hands reach out to grasp the flowers/ Yet, those hands will never hold anything." Yuto and EMIYA chants.
"The world where hope is/ So as I pray," Yuto and EMIYA chants.
"Unlimited Blade Works!" Yuto and EMIYA finish their chants causing flames to erupt from them causing everyone else to cover their eyes. When they open their eyes, they see two different sides. Yuto in one side being that of his Unlimited Blade Works world and EMIYA was in the other side being that of his Unlimited Blade Works world.
"What is this?!" Luna and Diana exclaim in shock.
"Unlimited Blade Works. A Power he gotten from EMIYA thanks to Zelretch's actions. Unlimited Blade Works is their Inner Worlds or another way of putting it is their souls." Oda explains.
"It's beautiful." Ellen said with awe looking at her daddy's Unlimited Blade Works.
"So that is your Unlimited Blade Works." EMIYA said. "Looks like my mine except for the grass and flowers."
"What do you expect? I did get it from you thanks to Zelretch." Yuto said as he coolly stares at EMIYA. "You know there is something that has been bothering me for a while now."
"What's that?" EMIYA asks.
"Is it weapons that are the cause of all this fighting or does the real cause lie within the human heart?" Yuto questions. "Standing here surrounded by unlimited weapons. It brings up the question, doesn't it?"
"That's a good question." EMIYA said as he closes his eyes in thought.
"It might very well be both." EMIYA said as he opens his eyes.
"But in the end, it doesn't matter because good intentions aren't enough to protect the things you love!" EMIYA yells at Yuto.
"I know. Sometimes you must fight to get your point across but there's no point in giving up hope, right?" Yuto asks.
"Hope huh?" EMIYA said. "What good is hope when all it brings you is despair?"
"Hope is like a sword. It can help people, but it can also hurt people but despite that we continue using that sword because the world is a dangerous place to live, not only because of the people who are evil, but because of the people who don't do anything about it." Yuto said.
"It's true that people are weak and flawed. That's why we need each other. Others' sadness… I don't want to forget that! It's because we have hearts that we can feel sadness. I want to become a man who can acknowledge that sadness!" Yuto exclaims as the two Unlimited Blades Works Worlds started shaking.
"It's true that life can be sad. It can also be filled with pain but even so we can't close our hearts off because of it! No matter how deep the despair is, hope will always rise out of it. We pass on our dreams to one another, and we can keep walking forward. No matter how painful the path might be. Even though people are sad we live our lives trying to escape sadness!" Yuto yells out as his Unlimited Blade Works was overtaking EMIYA's Unlimited Blade Works.
"What the hell?!" EMIYA exclaims in shock as Yuto dismisses his Trace Copies of the Married Blades and takes out the Legendary Sword.
"Here is a new skill!" Yuto said as the Legendary Sword glows before copies of it appears in the sky before the copies each transform into the many different forms the Legendary Sword has. "Endless Tears!"
"Fire!" Yuto yells out as the swords launches at EMIYA.
"Tch!" EMIYA clicks his teeth as he traces every single weapon and fires them at the swords launched by Yuto.
"Not done yet!" Yuto said as he traces more weapons to join the assault. EMIYA tries to trace the sword copies of the Legendary Sword but to his shock he couldn't.
"W-What?!" Emiya exclaims.
"You can't trace weapons like these!" Yuto said.
"Tch! Divine Constructs." EMIYA said with a scowl. EMIYA makes his shield to block the attacks.
"Take this!" Yuto said as he charges a large amount of Chakra and Mana into the Legendary Sword. EMIYA sees it coming before the sword pierces through the shield stabbing him through the chest and he screams in pain.
"Here is another new Skill! Hope Piercer!" Yuto said as Chakra and Magic come out of EMIYA's back like a huge beam of light.
"Why... Why... Did your resolve surpass mine?" Emiya questions as he holds his chest as the weapon comes off and the Unlimited Blade Works changes back into Luna's world.
"What is the true difference between us?" Emiya asks as he coughs up blood.
"You wanted to save everyone but for me while I will save people what I want the most in the omniverse is a future with the people I love." Yuto said. Emiya falls to the ground.
"It seems you were the strongest." EMIYA said.
"No, I'm not. I still have a long way to go." Yuto said.
"You're a liar. You've been holding back." Emiya said.
"A bit but I wasn't lying. Compare to Draco and the other members of Team Light I'm not even scratching the surface." Yuto admits.
"But that didn't matter. Between the two of us you are the strongest." Emiya said as he stares at the sky. "I always told myself I was right, but it seems all of the sacrifices was for nothing. Even with all this strength I got beaten by the power of something my younger self got."
"One thing I know is the important thing is not how long you live. It's what you accomplish with your life. Your path may have not been right but one thing you can't deny is the good you did." Yuto said as he sits down. "You saved countless lives."
"Tell Illya, I'm sorry." Emiya said as he keeps staring at the sky with tears coming out from his eyes.
"I will." Yuto said. "I pray you will find peace one day."
EMIYA smiles but then someone shot EMIYA's arm off shocking them.
"What the hell?!" Yuto exclaims in shock as he gets up into a battle stance while EMIYA clutches his shoulder in pain. They see someone walk forward and to their shock it was someone who looks like EMIYA but with EMIYA a more shaven hairstyle, a duller skin tone, and golden eyes. His outfit consists of black sleeves with golden accents ending in thick metal manacles, black pants with a weave pattern, and white boots, rather than the red overcoat Mystic Code of his counterpart. He also lacks his counterpart's torso armor. His back also shows a crimson "IV" tattoo. In his hands were Handguns that looks like the Married Blades. Yuto's eyes widen in shock when he traces them.
"Who are you?" Luna demands as she bring out her sword. Alter looks at them.
"Did you think there's only one Shiro? there's always another that exists thanks to his actions." He said as he stabs into Emiya's remaining arm making him grunt.
"Get away from him!" Oda screams as she fires bone shards at EMIYA Alter. He dodges her attack and smirks.
"Well..." He said as he looks down at EMIYA. "Do you know who I am?"
"You're an alternate version of me, aren't you?" EMIYA said.
"One that you made. After you went to kill your past self, you made a new version that became more like father. I will kill anyone that would stand in my way." Alter said.
"Thunder Punch!" Yuto said as he punches at Alter with a Lightning Chakra enhanced fist. Alter grabs the punch before kneeing him in the gut. Luckily Yuto covered his gut with steel before he lets loose his chains and grabs Alter with them. Alter just frowns and breaks out of them.
"Oda's wrath!" Oda said as she slams her hands on the ground causing numerous sharp and pointy bones to pop out of the ground at Alter. Alter summons his sword.
"Do you think you stand a chance after fighting against this weakling. The true reason why I'm here..." He said as he points his gun at EMIYA. "Is to finish him off!"
He shoots him many times in the head.
"You bastard!" Yuto said in anger as he went into his 6 tailed state and punches Alter in the face. Alter grunts but smirks as he shoots at Yuto many times sending him back. Yuto stops himself by using his Chakra claws. He then activates Sage Mode and combines it with his 6-Tailed State. Emiya appears in front of him surprising Yuto as he slashes the guy. Yuto then fires a Mini–Tailed Beast Ball at point blank range. Alter vanishes and appears behind him.
"Do you think a master of Time Alter would have been hit." He said as he shoots Yuto away.
"Damn!" Oda said as she remembers that was her father's family's Magecraft. This version of Shirou must have gotten his version of their father's crest. Alter gets a call and answers it.
"Are you sure?" He asks. A voice talks on the phone. "Very well, a new mission. It seems you got lucky today."
Alter then vanishes as Yuto drops his Sage Mode and Chakra Cloak.
"We'll get you next time." Yuto promises though he was worried as now there was another enemy who this time has the power of time on his side. Yuto then looks at where EMIYA was and saw that his body disappear meaning he went back to the Throne of Heroes and back into Alaya's grasp.
'I will protect Oda.' Yuto reaffirms his promise to EMIYA.
