The sound of Sakura's cell phone ringing caught everyone's attention. "Hellow Shirou, yes I'll head right over." Rin heard Saukra say to Shirou before she started to walk towards the door.
'Stop." their father ordered her sister
"I won't allow you to go see him, right now the two of you are enemies in this war, so you should stay away from him." their father said to Sakura who looked at him with pain-filled eyes.
"Don't listen to him go see what he wants, but I'm coming with you." Shinji says to Sakura as he stands up and walks up to her.
Rin wanted to tell Sakura that their father was right, that this was a Grail War, something that forced all of the people involved to kill each other.
"Rin go with them." her mother told her.
"Mom?" she said to her mom who smiled warmly at her.
"Sakura isn't a part of your family so we can't order her to obey us, but we can make sure that she's safe." her mom says to her.
Rin doesn't say anything as her mom's eyes aren't on her they're on Sakura who looks, even more, hurt than before.

Elsewhere...
In one of the few churches left in the city, a priest found himself looking at something that shouldn't have been possible anymore.
He found himself staring at a swirling vortex that was made of something familiar yet he had never seen or heard about anything like it before.
"Impressive isn't it." he heard the voice of his superior.
"What is it?" the priest asks his superior.
"It's easier if I explain what's happening, and what it has to do with that thing up there," Kirei answers him.
"Our past has connected with our present and if what that man said was true then there's a chance that our future is now amongst us." Kirei says to him s he shows him his right hand which has three red glowing lines.
"I will be busy for a while so I need you to gather everyone from the church and show them the vortex, those that know what it is will know what to do."
"As for what's going on...Remember when you were young, and how there were stories about vampires- werewolves and all kinds of monsters?" Kirei asks him
"Yeah but those were just stories." he said to his superior.
"Then I suggest that you start believing in stories because you're in one." kirei says to him as red light covers his hand and travels through his fingers before creating a sphere of energy that floats just above his right hand.
"But what does that have to do with the monsters of our past and that thing?" he asks his superior.
"To be so naive.' Kirei says to him.
"The world has several sides to itself, think of each side as another world but they are all a part of the world."
"Our side is ruled by Humans, which includes mages and everything that resembles us."
"Now imagine a place that's ruled by the fantastical creatures of our past, the things that couldn't torment us anymore because we defeated them all, just because we grew in number."
"What you're looking at is a gate to one of those sides, one of those worlds. Now go get the others, I'll stay here until you come back." his superior says to him before he nods and runs out of the church.
Kirei listens to the door close and he is left alone to look at one of the few entrances to one of the most gateways into the labyrinth.
"I know that you're here." he says to someone that he can't see.
"Did you enjoy the show?" the voice of a man answers him.
"So I take it that you are lancers master?" kirei asks the man.
"No, if I was I would have called everytone." the man answers him.
"So why are you here, the fact that you haven't attacked me means that you aren't here to fight." Kirei asks the man who never named himself.
"I was curious, that should have happened. I knew that by recharging everything something would come back but not this." the man says to him as he appears next to him.
"The Laberith, a place where a dead apostle was imprisoned." Kirei says to the man, as they both look at the vortex pulse as its prisoners screams inside of it.
Neither man says anything, as they look at the vortex, grow and shrink, and it's only when the silence inside the church becomes unbearable that they finally start to talk again.
"So do you have any ideas what else I might have brought back?" the man asks Kirei.
"Everything." Kirei answers the man.
"Believe it or not, the church still has quite the information network and there are reports... Let's just say that you started something that you aren't able to stop anymore." kirei answers the man.
"It's that bad" the man asks him.
"The clock tower, the church, and a few other organizations only exist because their members still had some power left in them but they were all shells of what they once were."
"Your actions have caused those same shells to suddenly come to life and all of those groups have their eyes on this city and more specifically you." Kire answered him.
Kirei doesn't say anything as he watches the man type something into his phone and then send it. He immediately receives a text message that says that he has until midnight to summon his hero.
"Why midnight?" he asks the man.
'Why not/" the man answers him before he vanishes again.
