Author's note: Sorry for being inactive lately. School started again, and this chapter took a long time to make. Hope all of you enjoyed it.

Also, in recent news from FGO Arcade about Proto Cu and the Ishtar costume...damn you arcade...

"All Da Vinci, is everything connected?"

"Yes Merlin. The device has been connected to Shirou's head."

Merlin let out a smile. "Great. Now we can how Shirou became a heroic spirit."

Right now, Merlin and Da Vinci were in the corner room of Chaldea's theater, hooking Shirou up to a device that looked like a film recorder from a movie theater. What the device does is that it checks the memories of the user and projects it.

At the same time, Arturia, Ishtar, Parvati, Kama, Sitonai, Astraea, Jaguar-man, Irisviel, Kiritsugu, EMIYA, Ritsuka and Mashu were in the main room of Chaldea's movie theater.

Mashu was amazed at the number of servants that came into theater. "Wow. This number of servants here...all of them here just to see what Shirou did to become a heroic spirit."

Ritsuka let out a small sigh. "Well, to be fair, most of them knew him already."

"True. Still though, I can't believe that the chat we had with the others earlier would end up turning into this..."

"Me neither," Ritsuka said as his thoughts went back to an earlier point of time...

(A while ago...)

Ritsuka, Mashu, Arturia, Ishtar, Parvati, Sitonai, Astraea, Jaguar-man, Irisviel, Kiritsugu, and EMIYA were in the cafeteria. Arturia and Jaguar-man were eating their food, Ishtar was in a fight with Astraea while Parvati tried to calm the two down, Sitonai was talking with Irisviel and Kiritsugu, EMIYA was in the kitchen cooking up something, and Ritsuka and Mashu were chatting with each other.

All and all, things were quite normal in the cafeteria.

"So, you were in a room with Shirou-san, Hakuno-san, and Sieg-san?" Mashu asked.

"Yeah. Over there, I heard the experiences they went through as masters of their grail wars," Ritsuka replied.

"I see. That sounds good for you senpai."

Ritsuka nodded in reply. "Yeah. Especially the achievements they have done in their grail wars...which reminds me of something."

"What is it senpai?"

"I was wondering how did Shirou become a heroic spirit. Have you ever thought about that?"

"Well...we do know that he destroyed a corrupted grail, went on a traveling journey, met Muramasa-san and fused with him."

"Yeah, but even still, I'm curious..."

"I see...we should ask the others here since nearly all of them know Shirou."

"Good idea." Ritsuka then turned to everyone else who was doing their own business. "Hey everyone, can I ask all of you something?"

Everyone stopped what they were doing for a moment and turned to Ritsuka.

"How did Shirou became a heroic spirit? Does anyone have any guesses?

Everyone was quiet for a moment after hearing Ritsuka's question. For a moment, nobody said anything. Then, Jaguar-man decided to speak out.

"Well...I guess it could be his role in the Fifth Fuyuki Grail War. After all, he did destroy the corrupted grail," Arturia said.

"True," Parvati said.

"Same," Sitonai said.

"I have no clue what that is, but I guess so," Jaguar-man said.

"I see. And how about you Ishtar?"

For a moment, Ishtar said nothing.

"Ishtar?"

Ishtar let out a sigh. "Honestly, I agree with everyone else, but there's something else that all of you need to know."

"What is it?"

Ishtar took a deep breath. "Apparently, after the Fuyuki Grail War was over and his graduation at the Clock Tower, he went through situations that would make the fourth and fifth Fuyuki Grail Wars pale in comparison!" she yelled.

Everyone besides Astraea was shocked at Ishtar's statement. Especially Arturia, Parvati, Sitonai, and EMIYA. "WHAT?!" they all exclaimed.

"Yeah! You heard me! He told me and Astraea that he went through situations that would make the fourth and fifth Fuyuki Grail Wars pale in comparison! I mean, come on! What kind of situations would make the fourth and fifth Fuyuki Grail Wars pale in comparison?! That's unheard of!" Ishtar yelled as she began to rant.

At that moment, everyone was in disbelief over the fact that there was something that makes the fourth and fifth Fuyuki Grail Wars pale in comparison. "Did Shirou ever tell you what those situations were?"

"No! He just kept quiet about it!" Ishtar yelled.

For a moment, everyone was silent as they waited for Ishtar to calm down from her ranting.

"So...aside from him meeting Muramasa-san, no one here knew where or what Shirou-san was doing?" Mashu asked.

"Yes. We have not seen or heard of Sherou ever since he graduated. It was like he completely disappeared off the entire earth," Astraea said.

"I see. And what about you EMIYA?"

EMIYA let out a sigh. "Sorry master, but I'm as clueless as you are. Considering how he looks and how completely different he is from me now, I'm quite sure the path he chose is completely different from mine..."

"I see. And how about you Sitonai? Parvati?"

Sitonai and Parvati nodded sideways in reply, letting Ritsuka know that they were clueless about it either.

For a moment, the silence continued as everyone was trying to figure out what to say. Then Irisviel broke the silence.

"Well then, why do we find out then?" Irisviel asked innocently.

Everyone turned to Irisviel. "What do you mean?" Arturia asked.

Irisviel let out a smile. "Isn't it obvious? If we don't know what Shirou's life after his holy grail war was, then we'll just find that out ourselves!"

"I see. So, we'll ask him then?"

Irisviel let out a smug grin. "Oh, I have a better idea. Just give me a moment..." she said as she left the cafeteria, leaving everyone else with a look of shock on their faces.

"Scary..." they all thought in unison.

"So, let me get this straight. You want to know about your son's life after the Fuyuki Grail War in his timeline was over, correct?" Merlin said.

"Yes," Irisviel replied with a smile on her face.

"And why are you asking me this?" Da Vinci asked.

"Well, after hearing the conversation about Shirou's life from master and the others, I can't help but wonder what situations he got himself into! From what I heard, my son went through situations that make the fourth and fifth Fuyuki Grail Wars pale in comparison!"

Merlin was shocked but let out a smile. "Is that so? Well, that sounds interesting!"

"Indeed. A serious of events that make the fourth and fifth Fuyuki Grail Wars pale in comparison? That's something I never heard of! All right! I'm in!"

"Perfect!" Irisviel exclaimed with a smile on her face. "Now, how are we going to make this plan work?"

"Well, Da Vinci could make a device that would scan Shirou's memories, and I can knock Shirou out," Merlin said.

"I agree with Merlin here," Da Vinci said.

"Great!"

And thus, Merlin, Da Vinci, and Irisviel began their plan of unraveling Shirou's life after the fifth Fuyuki Holy Grail War...

(Back to the present...)

"Even now I'm surprised that news about Shirou's life being shown spread so quickly..."Ritsuka said.

"Me too..." Mashu said.

Meanwhile, Arturia, Ishtar, Parvati, Sitonai, Astraea, Jaguar-man, Irisviel, Kiritsugu, and EMIYA waiting for the event to start.

"Well, looks like we're finally about to know what he was doing after the Holy Grail War was over," Arturia said.

"Exactly! I will finally know what Emiya-kun was hiding from me!" Ishtar yelled.

"Nee-san, calm down," Parvati said. "Although I also want to see senpai's memories..."

"I can't blame her though. I mean, from her and Astraea's perspective, onii-chan went missing afterwards with no way to contact him. And this is the perfect opportunity to find out why," Sitonai said.

"I should be ashamed of peeking into Sherou's memories...and yet at the same time, I want to see them so badly!" Astraea thought as she eagerly waited for the event to start.

"Finally, I'll see what you went through Shirou!" Jaguar-man said in excitement.

"Calm down Jaguar-man. As much as I can agree with you right now, be patient," Irisviel said.

"So, mama, the device Da Vinci made does scan onii-chan's memories, right?" Sitonai asked.

"Well, Da Vinci said so, but the device she made was a prototype, so it may be a bit incomplete."

"Well then, let see what my younger counterpart did in his lifetime..." EMIYA thought.

"I wonder what happened to my counterpart of that world..." Kiritsugu thought.

Meanwhile in the corner room of the theater, Da Vinci and Merlin were doing the final touches on the device. "Will this work Da Vinci?"

"Yes. However, this device is still a prototype, so there may be some kinks to fix out."

"I see. Anyways, let the show begin!" Merlin said as he began to turn off the lights. As so, the theater's lights went dim, prompting everyone to be quiet and turned their attention to the giant screen. The screen then lit up, revealing the first scene from Shirou's memories.

-Fuyuki 1994-

At that moment, Arturia, Ishtar, Parvati, Sitonai, and EMIYA immediately knew which scene was first.

The screen showed a young Shirou, walking aimlessly in the Great Fuyuki Fire. As he continued walking, he eventually stopped and fell to the ground, lying down on the ground and raised his hand.

It was then that rubble fell on him, burying him. Shirou couldn't do anything as he waited for death to come and take him.

However, before death could take him, it was then a person found him and grabbed his hand.

"You're alive...you're alive! You're alive!"

The person who found Shirou was Emiya Kiritsugu, who was crying with a smile over the fact that there was one person he found in the fire.

"Hey! It's you Kiritsugu!" Irisviel exclaimed happily.

"Shh. Be quiet," Kiritsugu said.

And then, Shirou blacked out.

-Scene end-

Ritsuka, Mashu, Jaguar-man, Astraea, and Irisviel were shocked at the scene in front of them, Arturia felt a bit ashamed over the fact that she was partially responsible for this event, Kiritsugu was surprised to see something like this, and EMIYA felt painful memories coming back to him.

"Okay, I did not expect this..." Ritsuka said.

"Yes. To think that Shirou-san went through this..." Mashu said.

"This is too sad for Sherou!" Astraea said as she began to tear up.

"So that's how that world's counterpart of me found him..." Kiritsugu said.

"Hey EMIYA, do you feel okay reliving this? I mean, he is you after all," Ritsuka asked.

"Don't worry, I feel fine. This is just an old memory for me," EMIYA replied.

"I see. Anyways, was that what you looked like before?"

"Yes. Before I became a counter guardian, I looked like the man on the screen."

"Wow. I wonder if being a counter guardian involves facial changes..."

Both Kiritsugu and EMIYA looked at Ritsuka and said, "Don't do it," in unison.

-Scene Change-

"Hey. Hey, old man."

Kiritsugu noticed Shirou who was sitting next to him.

"If you're going to sleep, do it in your bed."

"Right...nah, I'm fine."

For a moment, silence was in the air between the two.

"When I was little, I wanted to be a champion of justice."

Shirou was confused from Kiritsugu's sudden words. "What? You wanted to be one? Did you give up?"

"Yeah. It's unfortunate, but being a hero is a limited-time thing. When you grow up, it gets hard to call yourself one." Kiritsugu let out a chuckle. "I should have realized that earlier."

"I see...that's just too bad then."

"Indeed. You're absolutely right."

The silence between the two then continued as Kiritsugu let out a small sigh. He then looked up at the full moon in the night sky. "The moon's really nice tonight."

Shirou nodded in agreement. "Yeah. Since you couldn't do it, I'll do it for you," he said as he turned to Kiritsugu with a smile on his face.

Kiritsugu was stunned a little bit by Shirou's words. "Hm?"

"You're an adult now, so you can't do it. But I can. Leave it to me...your dream."

Kiritsugu was silent for a moment before continuing. "I see."

Then he was silent again and closed his eyes.

"Yeah. I can be at peace now."

For a moment, Kiritsugu didn't move as he just sat still, unmoving. It lasted for a while, and it was making Shirou worried.

"Old man?"

And just like that, Kiritsugu died, leaving Shirou alone...

-Scene end-

Nearly everyone wanted to cry from the scene itself, especially the girls. Meanwhile, EMIYA felt reminiscent of the scene while Kiritsugu just looked at the scene in silent shock.

"So that's how that my counterpart of that world died..." Kiritsugu thought.

"Wow...so that's why I didn't see Kiritsugu...now everything makes sense..." Sitonai said.

"Waaaaaahhhh! Why?! Why did the Kiritsugu of Shirou's world had to die like that?! And to leave poor little Shirou alone like that...it's too sad!" Irisviel said with tears coming out of her eyes.

"Yeah...I agree..." Arturia said

"Me too..." Parvati said.

"This is too cruel for Sherou...why did had to go through all of this?! First was the fire, now he lost his adoptive father in front of him! This is unfair for him!" Astraea said.

"I agree with that!" Jaguar-man yelled.

EMIYA let out a sigh. "Well, blame the grail for this."

"Exactly," Ishtar replied.

-Scene Change-

Shirou was panting as he got into the living room. As he was breathing for air, he felt something in the air.

"It's him! He came after me," Shirou said as he got up, only to fall down again. "A weapon! I need a weapon!"

Shirou then felt the rolled-up poster from earlier. As he grabbed it, he let out a small sigh. "Such luck...but...I just got to give it everything I've got at this point." He then closed his eyes. "Trace on! Material composition, strengthening, complete."

Shirou then got up. "You're on! I'm not going to let the same thing-" he said before he felt another presence in the living room. He then turned around to see Cu striking at him, forcing him to move back while falling at the same time. Shirou quickly regained his posture and assumed in a defensive position.

"Ah, this is just great. I did you a favor by not making you feel any pain," Cu said as he raised his spear. "But...to think I have to kill the same person twice on the same day...don't get lost on your way to hell...THIS TIME!" Cu then lunged his spear while Shirou barely blocked it, forcing the spear to scathe him on his arm.

Cu was a bit surprised. "This is surprising," he said as he examined the earlier action. "I see. The fact that you're still alive after getting your heart run through means something. I feel, as weak as it is, some magic power from you."

Cu then continued to swing at Shirou while Shirou continued to block Cu's swings. Eventually, Cu saw an opening and exploited it, swinging Gae Bolg at Shirou's side, forcing him to fall and crash through the doors.

Shirou tried to get up, but Cu didn't let him recover and lunged his spear again, forcing Shirou to jump through a glass window and run to the nearby toolshed. Cu let out a grin and ran towards him. He caught up to him and kicked him on the side, making Shirou fly towards the toolshed.

"Our game of hide-and-seek...ends here," Cu said as he twirled Gae Bolg and lunged it at Shirou, forcing him to dodge on the stairs. Shirou then fell backwards on the door and ended up in the toolshed. Shirou was trying to get up before Cu caught up to him. "Just give up."

Shirou was frustrated. "Damn it!"

Cu then swung Gae Bolg at the rolled-up poster, shattering it into pieces. He then twirled his spear again. "Checkmate. You gave me a little surprise, kid. Just maybe...you might've been the seventh one..."

"The seventh one?"

Cu chuckled. "Even so, this is the end for you."

"Yeah, right. I just got my life saved. I'm not going to die that easily! I can't just die meaninglessly like this. I can't die!"

It was then that the summoning circle behind Shirou lit up, blinding the two momentary. In an instant, a person came out and attacked Cu, knowing Shirou down on the ground in the process. Shirou then looked up to see the person who attacked Cu.

It was Arturia Pendragon, the King of Knights.

"Servant Saber. Upon your summoning, I have come forth. I ask you, are you my master?"

Shirou was speechless at that moment.

-Scene end-

Everyone was speechless while Arturia was grinning on the inside.

"Wait, so Saber-chan got into the house because Shirou summoned her?!" Jaguar-man yelled.

"Is that how you met Shirou Arturia?" Ritsuka asked.

"Yes. It was one of the most memorable moments in my life," Arturia said with a smile on her face.

"Wow...such a scene like this...it's amazing..." Mashu said.

"Exactly! Just as lancer was almost about to kill him, Arturia shows up and saves the day!" Irisviel exclaimed happily. "Although how was it that there was a summoning circle over there?"

"Kiritsugu, well Shirou's version of that man over there, created that during the Fourth Fuyuki Grail War," Arturia replied.

"I see."

Meanwhile, EMIYA was looking at the scene with nostalgia while Ishtar, Parvati, Sitonai, and Astraea looked at the scene with interest...and a bit of jealously in their eyes.

"So that's how senpai met Saber-san..." Parvati thought.

"Damn, being summoned at that exact moment and save Sherou...nice move," Astraea thought.

-Scene change-

"If it's an opponent you cannot defeat in reality, visualize something that will allow you to defeat him in your imagination," EMIYA's words said as they were in Shirou's mind.

Shirou closed his eyes. "I'll make one for you," he thought.

EMIYA's words came into his head again. "For that is the only thing you can do."

Berserker Hercules jumped towards Shirou while holding Rin in one of his hands.

In Shirou's mind, the blurred image of Caliburn came into his head. The image then switched to Arturia holding Caliburn in her hands.

"I'll make a sword...that you can use!"

In an instant, a projection of Caliburn appeared in Shirou's hands.

"That sword...is my..." Arturia said as she was surprised with the projection of Caliburn.

Shirou looked at the projected Caliburn for a moment before noticing that Hercules was still coming at him. Shirou went for the arm that was holding Rin and slashed it off, breaking the projection in the process.

Shirou moved back for a moment. "Just one more time... A sword that shouldn't have shattered got shattered...because there was a flaw in my visualization." He moved his arms again. "Begin tracing..."

The blurred image of Caliburn appeared in his head again. Meanwhile, Hercules let out a roar and ran towards Shirou.

"The enemy I have to face is myself. I can't allow even a single deviation or compromise in detail," he thought as the projection was forming in his hands.

Hercules then swung his weapon at Shirou.

"Shirou!" Arturia yelled.

Shirou quickly blocked the attack from Hercules. Hercules swung again, forcing Shirou to dodge each swing and move to the side.

"Basic structure, visualized. Component materials, duplicated. Accumulated age, duplicated! All processes involved, exceeded!" Shirou raised his arms. "Bind my visualizations together to form a true sword!"

And then, Caliburn formed in his hands once more.

Hercules went towards Shirou again, swinging his weapon at him again. Shirou blocked his attack, but the force of Hercules' attack made him fly backwards and rolled in the ground.

"Shirou!"

Illya let out a hmph. "There's no way you can beat Berserker, anyway."

Shirou struggled to get up. "I said I'd create a sword that would surpass Berserker...but I can't even use this sword?"

Hercules swung towards Shirou again, but this time, Arturia came in front of Shirou and blocked Hercules' attack. She then moved backwards to where Shirou was. "Shirou, the sword," she said as she held onto Caliburn's handle while looking at Shirou.

Shirou immediately knew what Arturia was thinking at that moment and held Caliburn with her. The projection of Calibrun lit up brightly.

As Hercules swung at both Shirou and Arturia, the couple then swung Caliburn at Hercules together, smashing Hercules's weapon and stabbing him at the same time.

Hercule's eyes went black for a moment while a pillar of light came out.

"Is that...your sword, Saber?" Hercules said.

"This is Caliburn...the sword in the stone which chooses the king...the sword lost for all eternity."

"However, it is nothing more than an illusion created by that man...a sword that will never exist again...but...even an illusion of it is formidable. Who would've thought a sing blow...could have defeated my body seven times..."

And just like that, Hercules disappeared...

-Scene end-

"What scene was that Arturia?" Ritsuka asked.

"That scene...was when me, Shirou, and Rin fought off against Illya and her servant," Arturia replied.

"Sitonai, you were a master?" Ritsuka asked

"Yes," Sitonai replied.

"And I suppose Hercules was her servant?"

"Correct."

"Um...what that Shirou-san's first time using projection?" Mashu asked.

"Yes. It appears that my younger self followed my advice," EMIYA said.

"Wow. You look useless in that scene Ishtar," Astraea said.

"Huh?! Useless?! Just to let you know, I reduced some of his lives! It was his nine lives ability that annoyed me and got me off guard!" Ishtar argued.

"Yeah right," she said as she let out a scoff.

"Why you!" Ishtar grumbled as she planned to start a fight with Astraea.

"Now now nee-san, calm down. We're in a movie theater, okay? We need to follow the rules," Parvati said.

Hearing Parvati's voice, Ishtar calmed down for a moment, but was still angry.

-Scene change-

Shirou and Arturia were on the ground, bleeding as Gilgamesh was laughing.

"Shirou..." Arturia said as she looked in horror at Shirou's condition. Meanwhile, Shirou was trying to breath, but couldn't because of the amount of blood he lost.

"Shirou...Shirou!" Arturia turned to Gilgamesh. "Stop is, Archer I am the one that you want, right?"

Gilgamesh let out a smirk. "Does that mean you're going to be my belonging now?"

Arturia was silent for a moment.

"Answer me, Saber!"

"I.."

"Don't answer!"

Arturia heard Shirou's voice and turned her face towards him, who was trying to get up.

"What are you doing?! It is impossible! Please stop! I do not need you to save me..."

Shirou continued to get up.

"Why...why do you not understand that?"

Shirou still continued to get up.

Arturia closed her eyes. "No...if you die because of this, I-"

"Shut up!" Shirou interrupted.

Arturia was surprised by Shirou's outburst.

"Just be quiet for a bit...you can rely on others in times like this. Rely on..." Shirou muttered as he got up.

"No. You must hold your life more precious than mine-"

"There's nothing that I want more than you, Saber!"

Arturia's eyes widen in surprise. "Shirou..."

"There isn't anything in me that could ever take your place," Shirou said as he finally stood up. "Sorry...I...I love you more than anything else, Saber. So...I'm not going to let a guy like him take you!"

Arturia felt reminiscent at the scene in front of her. "Shirou..."

"You fool! You aren't worthy of this treasure," Gilgamesh said arrogantly.

"Screw off, Hero King!"

"You mongrel...it will take some effort to keep Saber alive, but I suppose I will crush you after all." Gilgamesh began to activate EA, the sword spinning around.

Shirou and Arturia looked at its activation. However, Shirou wasn't done yet as he raised his arm and closed his eyes.

"Trace, on. Visualize it..."

EMIYA's words came into Shirou's mind. "Visualize something you can win with."

"Visualize it..."

"What you should always be visualizing is yourself at your most powerful."

"My most powerful..."

The winds coming from EA were getting stronger, making Arturia look at Shirou in worry.

"Visualize it!"

Shirou opened his eyes and in an instant, a golden pillar of light came out, shocking Gilgamesh. As the pillar died out, it revealed a golden shape. As Arturia saw it, the light in her eyes returned.

"This is..." Shirou muttered.

In an instant, Arturia quickly got up, grabbed Excalibur, and headed towards Shirou's side. "Shirou! Put this in..." She then handed him Excalibur.

Shirou looked at Arturia for a moment before Arturia nodded. Shirou then nodded and grabbed Excalibur.

"Futile resistance!" Gilgamesh yelled as he unleashed EA at both of them.

Shirou and Arturia let out a yell as they placed Excalibur into the shining object. As they did, the blast from EA was immediately deflected and headed right back at Gilgamesh. Gilgamesh blocked it momentarily before being engulfed by it.

Annoyed with the results in front of him, Gilgamesh disappeared, leaving Shirou and Arturia alone. As he did, Excalibur along with the unknown object disappeared as well, and Arturia stopped wearing her armor.

Shirou felt relieved before falling backwards.

"Shirou!" Arturia said as she managed to catch him with a hug.

"Sa...ber..." Shirou muttered.

Arturia closed her eyes in relief and let out a smile. "I finally figured it out..."

The two stayed in that position for a while as Arturia did not want to let go of him.

"Shirou...you are my scabbard..."

-Scene end-

Everyone besides Arturia and EMIYA were shocked at what just happened in the screen. And they had a lot of questions to ask.

"Arturia...was that-?" Ritsuka asked but was cut off by Arturia.

Arturia let out a small sigh. "Yes. That was Avalon, the scabbard to Excalibur. And that wasn't a copy. That was the original."

Nearly everyone besides EMIYA was surprised what she just said. "Avalon?! That was Avalon?! The thing that Shirou-san summoned was Avalon?!" Mashu asked.

"Yes."

"But how though?"

"Well, after Kiritsugu found Shirou, he implanted Avalon inside of him to save him."

Mashu, Sitonai, Astraea, and Jaguar-man were surprised at Arturia's words. "He implanted Avalon inside of him?!" they exclaimed in unison.

"Yes. And because of that, Shirou was able to escape death," Arturia said.

"Does Shirou still have it?" Ritsuka asked.

"No. He gave it back to me during near the end of the war."

"I see...still though, I can't believe Gilgamesh attacked you two because you two were on a date."

Ishtar, Parvati, Sitonai, Astraea, Jaguar-man, Irisviel, and Mashu got mad upon hearing those words. "WHAT?!" they exclaimed in unison.

"Y-Yeah. Gilgamesh attacked them because they were on a date."

At that moment, the girls' anger exploded upon hearing that the King of Heroes attacked them for a petty reason.

"Okay! That's it! I'm going to kill him!" Ishtar yelled.

"Me too!" Jaguar-man yelled in agreement.

"Nobody hurts senpai...NOBODY HURTS SENPAI!" Parvati yelled.

"Somebody bring me Berserker! I'm going to murder him!" Sitonai yelled.

"How is that scoundrel the King of Heroes! He's more of a barbarian!" Astraea yelled.

"I agree with you Astraea-san!" Mashu said.

"Sounds like that guy need a giant punch in the face..." Irisviel said angrily.

"I agree with you," Kiritsugu said as he had his guns ready.

EMIYA let out a sigh. "Master, it seems you have poured oil on multiple fires."

"I can see that..." Ritsuka replied with a sigh as well. "Anyways, the next scene is changing."

Everyone else calmed down as well.

-Scene change-

Arturia was looking at the distant mountains as the sun was rising slowly. The air going through her hair. Shirou was behind her, his last command seal fading away.

"With this, everything has ended, yes?" Arturia asked.

"Yeah. This is the end."

"As your sword, I have defeated all of your enemies and have protected you. I am glad that I have been able to fulfil this oath."

"Yeah, you did well."

"I need to tell you something before I go..."

Silence occurs between the two. For a moment, no words were said before Arturia turns around to see Shirou in the eyes.

"Shirou...I...love you..." Arturia said with a smile on her face.

It was then that the sun came up behind her, blinding Shirou for a moment as he covered his eyes. As he got used to the sunlight, Arturia was gone.

Shirou let out a small smile. "Yeah...that's just like you," he said as he continued to look at the sunrise.

-Scene end-

Arturia, Mashu, Jaguar-man, and Irisviel felt like crying after seeing the scene, Ritsuka felt shocked over the separation between Shirou and Arturia, EMIYA let out a smile, Kiritsugu didn't have a reaction, and Parvati, Sitonai, and Astraea looked at the scene in jealously and sadness at the same time.

"WAAAAHHH! Why did Shirou and Arturia had to be separated near the end of the war?! That's it, I'm calling that world's grail and give it a piece of my mind for making an ending like this! Oh wait, it's destroyed!" Irisviel yelled in tears.

"I know right?! No wonder Shirou looked a little depressed a while ago! He was separated from Saber-chan!" Jaguar-man yelled.

"This is so heartbreaking. It's like I'm watching those TV dramas again..." Mashu said.

"Yeah. I even feel like crying right now," Ritsuka said. "In fact, does anyone have any tissues?"

"Sorry master, but I don't think we have any," EMIYA said. "So, you managed to do one of the many things I failed to do...thank you," he thought with a smile on his face.

"Yes. Quite tragic, isn't it?" a new voice said.

Everyone nearly jumped at the new voice. "Who said that?!" Ritsuka asked.

However, Ishtar and Astraea immediately knew that voice. "That voice...no, it can't be!"

"Me, young Ritsuka."

Everyone looked around to see where the new voice came from. As they looked around, they saw a man sitting behind all of them, eating popcorn. The man looked old, has white hair and a beard, and was wearing old-styled European clothes.

That man was Kischur Zelretch Schweinorg, one of the five living Magicians who were capable of True Magic beyond modern science or Magecraft, and master of the second magic.

"Hello there young Ritsuka. I suppose this is the first time we've ever met," Zelretch said with a smile on his face.

"A-And you are?"

Zeltrech let out a smirk. "My name is Kischur Zelretch Schweinorg, master of the second magic."

While Ritsuka was confused, Mashu was ecstatic to meet him. "K-K-K-Kischur Zelretch Schweinorg?! I-I-I-I-I-It's a pleasure to meet you!" she said nervously.

"Ah, you must be Mashu Kirelight, Chaldea's first demi-servant. It's nice to see you too."

"Y-Yes! T-Thank you very much!"

Zelretch chuckled at Mashu's behavior and then turned to Ishtar and Astraea. "Ah, Rin, Luvia, it's been a while since I've seen you two, although it seems that things between you two haven't changed."

Ishtar let out a sigh. "What are you doing here?"

"Isn't it obvious? I'm here to watch how young Shirou became a heroic spirit," Zelretch replied as he continued to munch on popcorn.

"Eh? You're interested in how Sherou became a heroic spirit too?" Astraea asked.

"Well yeah. I mean, he is my favorite entertainer after all."

Everyone was stunned with what Zelretch said. For a moment, nobody said anything. Then Arturia muttered a few words.

"Did you say Shirou is your favorite entertainer?" she said as she was almost about to unleash Excalibur on Zelretch.

"Yeah. I mean, have you seen the stuff he has done? I've seen him do so much crazy shit that impressed me, and that's saying something."

"You mean the stuff he went through that makes the fourth and fifth Fuyuki Grail Wars pale in comparison?" Parvati asked.

"Exactly. In fact, when I overheard the servants Merlin and Da Vinci creating a device that allows to view Shirou's memories in the Kaleidoscope, I invited myself in."

Everyone was dumbfounded at what Zelretch said. "Since when did you get here?" EMIYA asked.

"Ever since the first scene."

Everyone's mouths dropped. "Really?! How come we didn't see you then?! We could have noticed you earlier!" Ritsuka said.

"Because of two things. One was that all of you were focused on the screen in front of all of you, and the other was that I was in the back while all of you were in the front. Simple as that."

Again, everyone was dumbfounded over Zelretch's explaination and they realized he was right.

"Anyways, the next scene is coming, so be quiet. I want to see this."

Everyone quickly shut up and turned to the screen.

-Scene change-

Shirou was walking in a forest, heavily clouded by fog. As he walked in the forest, he saw a few people passed out, sitting on trunk of a tree or lying down on the ground. Shirou looked at the people in worry and examined him. As he did, he noticed that they were alive, just barely. "This many people here...just what happened here that caused this many people to be in this condition? Is this the work of a bounded field? Well, guess I'll have to find it and release it."

Shirou then moved on to explore the forest, hoping to find the source of all the unconscious people. As he did, it was then that he heard a small sound in his ears.

"What the heck? What is this sound in my ears?"

As Shirou continued to explore the forest, the sound in his mind kept getting louder and more accurate at the same time. It was then Shirou realized what the sound was.

It was the clinging of metal, and he exactly knew where that sound came from.

His reality marble.

"The swords in my reality marble...I haven't heard this type of sound from them. Are they resonating to what is in this forest? Well, guess I'll find out soon. It looks like I'm getting closer to the source."

Shirou then kept walking, using the sound in his ears as a guide to find the source of all the unconscious people. As the sound got louder, he realized he was getting closer.

When he found the source, he let out a chuckle as he felt that fate was toying with him.

Because in front of him was a katana that was wedged into a stone upside down. The katana itself looked simple. The handle and hilt was in black, and the blade itself were the size of a regular katana.

However, despite its looks, Shirou felt so much power radiating from the katana itself.

"This katana...this is no ordinary katana. This may be the source of all those unconscious people earlier, although how though? And how is it that this sword itself was able to affect my reality marble? Well, no time to ask questions later. I need to pull it in order to wake those people up."

Shirou then walked up to the katana wedged in the stone and proceeded to pull it out. However, when he did, he felt that something expanded and connected inside of him.

And then Shirou passed out.

-Inside Shirou's reality marble-

When Shirou opened his eyes, he realized he was in his reality marble. As he looked at his reality marble, he let out a small smile at how it looked. It resembled a grassy landscape with multiple flowers and weapons. The sky itself was blue and there was a sun over there.

As Shirou continued to look at his reality marble, he saw his copy of Caliburn, which was embedded on a stone and was near his copy of the Emiya Residence. As he continued to look at it, memories of his time in the Fifth Fuyuki Grail and Arturia came into his head, and he let out a small smile because of it.

However, it was then he heard a voice.

And in his shock, the voice sounded like his, but older.

"Well, I'll be damned," the voice said.

Shirou quickly turned around to see where the voice came from. As he did, he dropped his mouth at the sight in front of him.

In front of him was Sengo Muramasa, the demonic blacksmith. And he looked like Shirou, but he was a little bit older than him.

"W-Who are you? And why do you look like me? And how did you get here?" Shirou asked.

"My name is Sengo Muramasa." Shirou let out a gasp, making Muramasa smirk. "I take it that you know me."

"Well yes. You are the famed blacksmith within Ise Province, the one who forged the Muramasa blades that brought down the Tokugawa Clan."

Muramasa nodded at Shirou's answer.

"What are you doing here in my reality marble? And why do you look like me? Is that sword over there the cause of the many unconscious people I saw earlier?" Shirou asked.

Muramasa sighed at Shirou's impatience. "Kid, calm down. One question at a time. Jeez, impatience is not a trait of a blacksmith."

"I'm not a blacksmith though..." Shirou said.

"Really? Even with all of those weapons in front of you?"

"Well...all of those weapons you see in front of you are weapons I traced earlier..."

Muramasa was confused. "Trace? What the hell is that?"

Shirou let out a small sigh. "This," he said as he raised his hand as he began to project a sword. In an instant, a sword suddenly appeared in his hand, surprising Muramasa.

"What the hell?! What is that?!" Muramasa yelled.

"That's tracing. What tracing does is that it not only does it reproduce the shape and substance of an object, but also its entire history as well just by looking at the object itself. However, the object's rank itself goes down by one."

For a moment, Muramasa did not say anything, and Shirou was wondering if he made him mad. "Are you mad?" Shirou asked.

Muramasa let out a sigh. "Let me check something for a moment kid," he said as he checked the weapon Shirou traced earlier. As Muramasa examined the traced weapon, he was baffled by the high quality the weapon was despite being a copy. "Hmm...hmm..." Muramasa then handed the traced weapon back to Shirou. "Damn, I'm impressed."

Shirou was surprised. "Really? You're not mad?"

"Well, to be fair, I am a bit ticked that you're able to make swords out of thin air without any materials or some sort. However, at the same time, I'm impressed that you were able to make a sword of excellent quality," Muramasa replied.

Shirou felt relieved now he known he did not make the blacksmith mad.

"Anyways, you got questions to ask, right?" Muramasa said.

"Y-Yeah. What are you doing here in my reality marble? And why do you look like me? Is that sword over there the cause of the many unconscious people I saw earlier?"

"So that's the name of the place we're in huh? What is your name kid?"

"Emiya Shirou."

"Emiya Shirou huh? That is a nice name. Well then Emiya Shirou, let me answer both your first question and second question. The reason I am here is because the sword you held on to dragged me out from the afterlife and put me here."

Shirou was confused. "How though?"

Muramasa let out a smirk. "It's because you're my descendant."

Shirou was baffled. "Huh?"

"What? You did not hear me for the first time? You're my descendant."

"I-I'm your descendant?"

"That's right. And the blade you touched was a Muramasa blade."

Shirou was silent. For a moment, he recomposed himself of his mind and emotions, trying to put the pieces together. "Well then...that explains why you look like me. Well, a bit older."

"I know right? Imagine my surprise seeing something that has my face, well, younger that is. I swear, it's like looking in a mirror. Speaking of which, you did take this well," Muramasa said with laughter in his voice.

"I've been through so much stuff that finding out that you're my ancestor seems to be a breeze. Anyways, is that sword over there the cause of the many unconscious people I saw earlier?"

Muramasa let out a sigh. "Sadly, yes. And let me tell you something about that Muramasa blade. A long time ago, that blade was wielded by a swordsman from the Edo period. Over time however, that swordsman became obsessed with blood and went on a murder spree in this area. He was stopped later on, though the blade was later cursed because of my legend and the amount of blood the sword has tasted, thus creating the situation in front of you."

Shirou was surprised. "I see...just one question."

"What is it?"

"Did you have any regrets creating the Muramasa blades?"

Muramasa let out a smirk. "Nah. I didn't have any regret creating the Muramasa blades."

"I see."

"Anyways, now that I have answered your questions, it is my turn to ask you a question."

"Sure. Ask away."

"Just what were you planning to do with all of those weapons here? Are you planning to start a war or something?"

Shirou let out a chuckle. "Nope. The weapons you see here are the results of my journey."

"Journey? For what? Power? Fame? Wealth?"

Shirou let out a small sigh. "To search for a certain person, in hopes of meeting her again."

Muramasa let out a smirk. "And I suppose said person happened to be related to that sword over there?" he asked as he pointed to Shirou's copy of Caliburn, which was embedded on a stone.

Shirou was slightly shocked. "How did you know?"

"Easy. Before we had this conversation, you were looking at that sword in the stone for quite some time. I figured you might have either a connection with the sword, or rather, the user itself."

"I see..."

For a moment, none of them said anything as both Shirou and Muramasa were trying to figure out how to continue the conversation. Then Muramasa had a few words to say.

"Let me ask you this kid, just how important is that person of yours that you are trying to search?"

Shirou let out a smile. "She is the most important person to me in my entire life. After we were separated from each other, I made a promise to myself to see her again and live in her honor."

Muramasa was intrigued for a moment. "Even if you have to risk your life to see her?"

"Yes."

For a moment, Muramasa was silent. Then after a few minutes, he started to laugh and gave Shirou a slap on the back, making Shirou confused from his sudden action. "What?" Shirou asked.

"Kid, that is one of the craziest dreams I have ever heard of!" Muramasa said with laughter. "You would actually risk your own life to search for a girl? That's something I have not ever heard in a while! Not in this era that is!" Muramasa continued laughing while Shirou let out a small sigh. After a while, Muramasa was done laughing and spoke to Shirou again.

"You know, you and I are a lot similar."

"How so?"

"Well, I've spent my life trying to create the ultimate blade, and you spent your life searching for the girl you were looking for."

"Yeah. Both of our dreams may be impossible for us, but I will never give up. No matter what happens later on, I won't waver. As long as I live, I will continue to search for her, as this path is the one I chose without any regrets," Shirou said as he raised his hand into the sky.

"Even if it ends in your death?"

"Yes."

Muramasa was impressed with Shirou's conviction and did not sense any hesitation in his words.

Which led to a certain conclusion.

"Okay then kid, I have decided."

Shirou was confused for a moment.

"I've decided that I'm staying here in your reality marble," he said as he sat on the porch of the copied Emiya Residence.

Shirou was baffled for a moment. "Huh?"

"Yeah. You heard me, I'm staying here in your reality marble."

"Why though?"

"Because your reality marble is a better place than the afterlife itself. It's gotten quite boring over there. However, with all those swords in front of me...I can't pass on an opportunity like this! I must examine them all!"

Shirou was shocked with Muramasa's outburst. "He sounds like a mad scientist...or magus..." he thought with a shocked face.

Muramasa then turned to Shirou's shocked face. "Don't worry kid, I'm not going to possess your body or haunt your mind. I'm just going to stay here quietly and that's it."

"I see."

"However, in exchange for me residing in your reality marble, I will give you all of the information of the Muramasa blades and the Tsumugari Muramasa, my noble phantasm."

Shirou was shocked about this. "Really? All of the blades you created?"

"Yeah. Think of it as a gift from your ancestor."

Shirou was stunned for a moment, but he accepted the offer. "Very well, I accept."

Muramasa let out a smirk. "All right then. Now all we need to do is to transfer the information about the Muramasa blades into you."

"Yes, but how do we do that?"

"Simple. Come here for a moment."

Shirou then got closer to Muramasa for a moment. It was then Muramasa placed his hand on Shirou's forehead.

"This will hurt for a moment."

And in an instant, Shirou felt a bunch of information coming into his head, feeling like he could pass out...again.

-Back to the real world-

Shirou woke up and realized that he was on the ground. As he came conscious, he noticed that the katana was still there, wedged in the stone.

However, that was not the only thing that he noticed.

Because when he checked himself, he realized that the attire he was wearing was completely different now. Instead of clothes he was wearing before, he was wearing Muramasa's outfit. Not only that, but his body also went through some changes as well. His body now has a definite build and his was taller.

However, the biggest change was the amount of mana that was in his body now.

"So, this is what it feels like to fuse with a spirit...wait, why did my clothes change to the ones Muramasa was wearing?" Shirou then turned to the Muramasa blade that was still wedged in the stone. "Well, I've a cursed sword to pull out..."

Shirou then went up to the Muramasa blade and pulled it out of the stone. As he did, he then raised it in the air, symbolizing the fusion between him and Sengo Muramasa.

-Scene end-

"So that was the full story between Shirou and gramps..." Ritsuka said with interest.

"Yeah," Zelretch said. "Although in my opinion, I think young Shirou's luck got a lot worse after picking up that blade," he said jokingly.

"What do you mean by that?" Mashu asked.

"Well...as I mentioned earlier, he encountered so much crazy shit afterwards."

"What kind of crazy shit are you talking about?" Ishtar asked impatiently.

"Now, now, be patient Rin. That will come up soon."

"Fine..."

"Hey Arturia, isn't that scene familar to you?" Sitonai asked.

"Yes. That scene reminded me of the time I drew Caliburn from the stone. For some reason, it feels funny to me," Arturia said with a chuckle at the end.

"How so?"

"Well, I never expected Shirou to go through something like this..."

"Me neither. It's almost a reenactment of what you went through," EMIYA said as he did not expect the meeting to go like this.

Meanwhile, Astraea was looking at the scene with confusion.

"Is there something wrong Astraea?" Parvati asked.

"That outfit...isn't Sherou cold when wearing that wherever he goes?"

Everyone nearly sweatdropped upon hearing Astraea's question. "Really?"

-Scene change: Unknown reality marble-

There were flames everywhere. In fact, the entire space was in flames expect the floor.

Shirou was panting as he was nearly exhausted from all the dodging he had to do. "Hah...hah...man, this is going to be harder than I thought...and these flames are making things worse..." He then looked at the enemy in front of him.

And his enemy was Zephyranthes El Silique, a former magus turned dead apostle ancestor who has gone rogue a long time ago.

In an instant, Zephyranthes raised his hands and slammed them on the ground. As he did so, a pillar of flame was about to appear below Shirou. Shirou felt the heat below him growing and barely dodged the upcoming pillar of flame that came out from the ground.

However, it wasn't the only pillar of flame he had to dodge as another pillar came up below him. Shirou barely dodged that one as well.

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Dance I say! Dance in the palm of my hand!" Zephyranthes yelled.

"Tch! I don't have time for this! I need to get closer..." he thought as he continued dodging the pillars of flames Zephyranthes kept summoning. As Shirou kept dodging the pillars, he got closer to where Zephyranthes was, bit by bit.

EVentually, he finally reached to where Zephyranthes was. Using his Muramasa blade, he then slashed one of Zephyranthes's arm.

"Damn you!" Angered by Shirou's action, Zephyranthes then created a wall of flames around, forcing Shirou to move back.

Zephyranthes looked at the stump where his arm used to be and became angry. "How dare you...how dare you cut my arm off and ruin my fun!"

"Fun? You mean killing innocent people and draining them of their blood?" Shirou asked angrily.

"Yes! Killing people and taking their blood gives me pleasure and joy! After all, it is what a dead apostle ancestor lives for! Blood! I love the taste of blood and human flesh as I bit into them! Especially the ones that are still alive and struggle against my whim! It makes it more interesting! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"

At that moment, Shirou knew that this Dead Apostle Ancestor was too dangerous to be left alive, which meant Shirou only had one way to solve this problem.

To kill him.

Shirou then got up, still breathing for air and using his Muramasa blade for support. "Looks like there's no other to talk you out of this huh?"

Zephyranthes stopped laughing for a moment. "Sadly, yes. There is only one end to this. Either you...or I die," he said sarcastically. "Anyways, let's finish this."

"Agreed," Shirou said as he put his Muramasa blade back into its scabbard. As he did, he then raised his arm. "Trace on."

In an instant, a weapon appeared in his hands.

It was Gáe Bolg, the barbed spear of death.

Shirou twirled the spear like how Cu would and was in a position similar to how Cu would use his spear. For a moment, nothing happened between the two as they were waiting for who would make the first move.

Then Shirou made the first move and lunged towards him. Zephyranthes then shot blasts of fire at him, but Shirou dodged some of the blasts while deflecting them at the same time.

Zephyranthes was getting tired of this and decided to end the battle a bit quicker. He then gathered up his mana and then proceeded to summon a giant pillar of flame at Shirou who didn't have time to dodge it and was hit with it.

Looking at the event, Zephyranthes let out a sigh as the flames engulfed around Shirou. "Well, looks like my fun is over. Oh well, might as well to wait for the next unlucky victim..." he thought as he looked at the pillar of flame.

However, to his surprise, Shirou suddenly came out from the pillar flame, catching him off guard. In an instant, Shirou stabbed him with Gáe Bolg.

And he felt the pain.

"D-Damn...you..." Zephyranthes muttered before he died. Shirou pulled Gáe Bolg from his lifeless body, making him fall forward to the ground.

Shirou looked at Zephyranthes's lifeless body. "Well, it's over now..."

-Scene end-

Everyone was confused with what just happened while Zelretch let out a sigh.

"Um...Zelretch, who that person that Shirou killed?" Ritsuka asked.

Zelretch let out a sigh. "That person was Zephyranthes El Silique, a former magus who turned into a dead apostle ancestor who has gone rogue a long time ago."

Ishtar, Astraea, Sitonai, and Mashu were shocked at what Zelretch said. "What?!" they all exclaimed.

"Yes. You heard me," Zelretch said with a smirk on his face.

"Emiya-kun went up against a dead apostle ancestor?! All by himself?!" Ishtar yelled.

"Exactly. And this was the first time he's done it. Later, he would encounter more to my surprise."

"Why though?! Why did Sherou had to fight against a dead apostle ancestor?!" Astraea asked.

"Apparently, he heard reports of him terrorizing a few villages in the north. So, like the hero of justice he is, he went there and killed the dead apostle ancestor, causing his rampage to end."

Ishtar, Astraea, Sitonai, Mashu, Jaguar-man, and Irisviel were amazed with what Shirou did. "Wow...so that's how Shirou-san became a heroic spirit..." Mashu said.

"Well, that's one part of it in his story," Zelretch said with a smirk.

"Of course, there's more after all," Sitonai said.

"Exactly."

"Um...what's a dead apostle ancestor?" Jaguar-man asked.

"It's something that you don't need to know Jaguar-man," EMIYA said as he forced the hood of her pajamas on her head.

"Hey!"

-Scene change: Unknown Laboratory-

Shirou was running in a hallway, searching for a certain room. "Come on...hope I'm not too late!" he thought as he kept running. Eventually, he eventually found the room he was searching for and busted the door open. In the room revealed a certain magus Mashu would never think to see again.

Beryl Gut.

Ritsuka and Mashu were surprised upon seeing Beryl Gut's face. "Beryl?!"

"Beryl Gut! Stop what you are doing!" Shirou yelled.

Beryl let out a maniacal grin. "Stop? This piece of work that I am creating? Oh no Emiya Shirou! This is only the beginning!" he yelled as he added the final object he needed for the ritual he was conducting.

As he did, a huge bright light suddenly appeared from the ritual itself, making both Shirou and Beryl cover their eyes over how bright it was. Soon, the light disappeared, revealing what Beryl was making.

A red stone. However, it wasn't any normal red stone as Shirou felt a twisted power coming from it.

Meanwhile, Beryl let out a maniacal grin. "Finally...I have done it! I have created the Philosopher's stone!" he yelled in glee.

Shirou was nearly shocked. "The Philosopher's stone?! You mean that legendary stone?!" he yelled as he remembered it from a book he read.

"Yes! After many years, it is now mine!"

"What do you plan on doing with the philosopher's stone?!"

Beryl went silent for a moment upon hearing Shirou's question. "Well...if I were to give you an answer...I would say that I would use it to kill people."

Shirou was baffled with Beryl's answer. "You would use it...to kill people...?!" he muttered angrily.

"Well yes. See, I'd like to remain exactly the piece of shit that I am. — becoming my best self is the sort of nonsense that I'd never want. And my best self...is killing people, no matter what. And with the philosopher's stone in my hand, killing people will be a lot easier."

"Is that why you killed all of those people at the village?"

"Yes. And I would have killed more, if it wasn't for you, Emiya Shirou," he said with a sadistic grin. "Anyways, it was nice chatting with you, but I've got so many people to kill after this..."

Beryl gripped the stone in his hand tightly, and it grew brighter.

"So, I'm going to ask you to die now."

And in an instant, multiple balls of energy appeared in front of Beryl. Beryl waved his hand and they immediately headed towards Shirou. Shirou dodged them barely and as he did, he noticed the damage the balls of energy caused.

Which left giant holes on the walls.

"So that's the power of the Philosopher's Stone...it's more powerful than the books ever said..."

Beryl let out a laugh. "So, this is the power of the Philosopher's stone! It's even more powerful than I could ever imagined! With this, I could kill anyone that I would ever meet!" he said with laughter.

"Not on my watch!" Shirou yelled as he projected his bow along with a sword and shot the sword at Beryl. However, Beryl broke it as he used the Philosopher's stone's power. Realizing that did not work, Shirou began to use a different tactic as he began to rush towards Beryl while dodging the blasts of energy Beryl was shooting at him at the same time.

Soon, Shirou got closer to Beryl. "At this range...I got him!" he thought as he projected Kanshou and Bakuya and was about to slash him down.

However, to his surprised, Beryl erected a barrier out of nowhere, blocking Shirou's attack and forcing him to go backwards.

"Hahahahahaha! You can't beat me Emiya Shirou! Not when I have the Philosopher's Stone in my hands!" he yelled in madness.

Shirou was panting. "As much as I don't want to admit it, he's right. If this keeps going any longer, I'll be the one who goes down first. I need to finish it fast, but how though?"

As Shirou was thinking, it was then he remembered EMIYA's words.

"If it's an opponent you cannot defeat in reality, visualize something that will allow you to defeat him in your imagination."

Shirou then began to image a weapon in his mind. "A weapon...I need a weapon...a weapon that can cut through anything..."

Meanwhile, Beryl saw a chance as Shirou was just standing there, his eyes closed. He let out a smirk, thinking that he already won. "Well then, looks like I win! Goodbye Emiya Shirou!" he yelled as he shot a lethal blast of energy at Shirou.

And that blast was undodgeable.

Beryl let out a smirk as the blast was getting closer to Shirou, knowing that he was going to win.

However, before the blast hit Shirou, he said two words.

"Trace on."

In a surprise turn of events, the blast was deflected, surprising Beryl. The blast hit the celling, creating some debris and dust around him. As the dust cleared, Beryl was surprised with what was in Shirou's hands.

In Shirou's hands were two katanas that had the designs of Kanshou and Bakuya.

"W-W-What are those swords?! How were they able to block that blast?!" Beryl yelled.

Shirou was silent for a moment before answering his question.

"Myoujingiri Muramasa: Version Kanshou and Bakuya."

Beryl was surprised for a moment. "Huh?! I never heard of those weapons before!"

Shirou let out a small sigh. "Well of course, they're something I created after all."

"Huh?! What are you?! A blacksmith?!"

"Well...I fused with one if that counts..."

Beryl was confused with Shirou's answer. "Never mind that!" he yelled as he shot another blast of energy at Shirou. However, Shirou saw the blast coming and dodged it. Beryl continued to shoot at Shirou, but Shirou kept dodging while deflecting some of the blasts at the same time.

"Damn you!" Beryl then used stone to lift himself by using the floor under him to lift himself up, creating a pillar under him. However, Shirou the sliced the pillar down, forcing Beryl to jump down to the ground. Shirou then rushed at him, forcing Beryl to use the Philosopher's Stone to create a barrier of energy around him.

However, Shirou slashed the barrier down with Myoujingiri Muramasa: Version Kanshou and Bakuya, scaring Beryl.

"I-Impossible!" he yelled in an outburst. Worring that Shirou was getting closer, Beryl then gathered all his mana for a last resort. As he did, he then released all of it at Shirou, creating a giant beam that Shirou wasn't able to dodge. "Take this!"

However, Shirou didn't need to dodge.

Because at that moment, Shirou brought out his hand and said a few words.

"Rho Aias! Version Avalon!"

In an instant, a golden seven-petaled flower appeared in front of Shirou, protecting him from the blast. Soon, the blast disappeared, revealing Shirou protected by the golden seven-petaled flower.

Beryl was stunned at what just happened and couldn't figure out what to do next. As he was going into a mind frenzy, Shirou was getting closer to where Beryl was, and it was freaking Beryl out by the second.

"S-Stay back!" he yelled as he raised his arm. However, that action proved to be a mistake for Beryl as Shirou saw a chance and knocked the Philosopher's stone out of Beryl's hand. After that happened, he raised his fist.

"It's over."

And Shirou punched Beryl in the face with an reinforced fist, knocking him out.

"D-Damn you..." Beryl muttered as he dropped to the ground. Shirou then moved away from the dead body and headed towards where the stone was. He then picked the stone up. As he did, he examined the stone and concluded one thing.

"This stone...it shouldn't be here. Not in these hands or in this world."

Shirou then threw the stone and in an instant, he sliced the stone into pieces.

-Scene end-

Everybody was shocked at what just happened, especially Ritsuka and Mashu.

Because they did not expect to see Beryl Gut to be a part of Shirou's journey.

"Wow...I did not expect to see Beryl here," Ritsuka said.

"Me neither. And the way he was acting...it scares me. I know that he was a criminal at the clock tower, but this...this is new," Mashu said.

"Yeah. And the way he was saying...it sickens me."

"Agreed. He sounds like an enemy of women as well," Jaguar-man said.

"Indeed. It's a good thing Shirou knocked him out," Irisviel said with a smile.

Meanwhile, Ishtar was shocked for a different reason. "What the hell?! The Philosopher's Stone exists?! And Emiya-kun destroyed it?!" she yelled.

"It seems so," Sitonai said.

"Isn't that a shame? I mean, it is noble of Sherou to not let it fall into the wrong hands, but why did he destroy it?"

"Well, he just didn't want anyone to misuse its power, especially people like him," Zelretch said.

"Exactly," Arturia said.

"True...still though, he could have shown it to us at least..." Astraea said.

EMIYA let out a sigh. "Like he would. To be fair, he's me after all, and I don't carelessly show stuff around to other people."

-Scene change: Unknown battlefield-

Sword clashed against sword. A red blade versus a silver blade. The landscape itself looked torn from the clash between the two. There were craters and swords everywhere.

And in the middle of all of that was Emiya Shirou fighting a mysterious person. The mysterious person had long black hair, red eyes, and was wearing a long black robe.

That person was known as Asakim Dowen.

As Shirou and Asakim were clashing swords, the mysterious person moved back for a moment. As he did, he brought out his hand.

"Raster Edge!" Asakim yelled.

Upon hearing those words, Ritsuka was shocked. "No way..."

In an instant, a beam of green light came out of Asakim's hand and went towards to where Shirou was, forcing him to dodge. Seeing an opportunity, the mysterious person rushed towards Shirou and proceeded to strike him down. However, Shirou saw that coming that blocked his attack. Shirou kicked Asakim back, gaining some distance from him.

"Sword Barrel: Full Open!" Shirou yelled.

In an instant, multiple blades appeared behind Shirou. Shirou then went forward at Asakim with the floating swords behind him. In an instant, the swords behind Shirou immediately launched themselves at Asakim who blocked them with ease.

Despite that, Shirou pressed forward towards Asakim, clashing with him once again. As he did, they kept swinging their swords at each other. As the swinging of swords continued, Shirou then projected another sword to try to get an advantage on him. Soon, Shirou began swinging two swords at him, but it didn't make any difference as Asakim was handling it normally.

As they locked swords at each other, they then went back to their corners, gaining some distance from each other. It was then that Asakim then raised his hand in the air.

"Gokuen No Goyo: Embrace the Inferno!"

Suddenly, a dark aura appeared around Asakim and then he released a black shockwave around the entire area.

Noticing the danger from the shockwave, Shirou raised his hand. "Rho Aias: Version Avalon!"

In an instant, a golden seven-petaled flower appeared in front of Shirou, protecting him from the shockwave. However, even Rho Aias: Version Avalon was having a hard time defending against the black shockwave. At the end of the shockwave, Rho Aias: Version Avalon broke into pieces, making Shirou exhausted from the attack it handled.

Asakim was surprised with what just happened. "Not bad...but let's see how you can handle this," he said as he raised his sword...and used his other hand to grab the blade, moving his hand sideways. As he did that, his hand was bleeding.

However, he didn't mind as in an instant, he lunged himself at Shirou in high speed, catching him off guard. "Rumbling DisCalibur!"

And then he stabbed Shirou. However, he wasn't done yet as he grabbed him with his hand that was bleeding and went up into the air with him. He then let go of him and then started to slash him continuously while creating a magic circle around him.

While letting out a haunting laugh.

Everyone's eyes widen upon seeing Shirou getting stabbed, and they were getting worried.

As Asakim finished the magic circle, the magic circle suddenly blew up, forcing Shirou to go down to the ground. Miraculously, Shirou survived, but barely.

"Hah...hah...hah...that was close. If it wasn't for me reinforcing my body, I would have been dead already..." he thought as he struggled to get up. As he was getting up, Asakim landed on the ground in front of him.

"Well then, you seem to be quite the interesting person here. You managed to survive Rumbling DisCalibur. Quite the feat here," Asakim said.

"Well...I'll take that as a complement," Shirou said as he was panting for breath.

Asakim smirked. "You know, you are quite the enigma to me. Why is it that you keep living and fighting despite the pain you are in? We have been at this for a few times and you are still here. Just what is that drives you? How are you able to be still here?"

Shirou was silent for a moment before saying his answer. "There is...a promise I made to myself that I need to keep..." he said.

"Really now?"

"Yeah. And until I fulfill my promise...I will continue to live. No matter how painful life can be...or how much I suffer...I will live...until I meet her again."

Asakim was silent for a moment before he continued to talk. "I see...then let me ask you this."

Shirou stayed silent for a moment.

"Would you give me the pleasure of taking that away from you?"

For a moment, Shirou felt his anger rising from the mysterious person's question. However, he calmed himself down and replied, "I'll die before I'll let that happen."

Asakim let out a smile. "Well then. Try and stop me from doing so."

"I will."

Shirou then sheathed his Muramasa blade and raised one of his arms while placing the other on the raised arm. As he did, he then began to chant.

"My body is made out of swords."

In an instant, swords appeared around him.

"My blood is of iron and my heart of glass."

As Shirou continued his chant, his magical circuits began to flare up in his body, making them visible to see.

"I have created over a thousand blades."
"Unaware of loss, nor aware of gain in every battle."
"Withstood pain to create weapons, striving for that utopia."
"This body is made out of infinite swords!"

And at that moment, everything was encased in a bright light, causing Asakim to close his eyes.

-In Shirou's reality marble-

Asakim opened his eyes to see that he along with Shirou were in a different battlefield. As he looked at Shirou's reality marble, he noticed the many weapons that were around.

"Surprised, aren't you?"

Asakim turned around to see Shirou in the distance.

"Switching individual and collective, fantasy and reality, inside and outside...overwriting the world with one's mind," Shirou said as walked towards Asakim. "The innermost thaumaturgy, reality marble."

Shirou unsheathed his Muramasa blade. "This is the place...that both he and I saw. Hey...what do you think?"

Asakim didn't say anything.

"It's a word encompassing an infinite number of swords. But to me, they're more like graves," Shirou said as he pointed his Muramasa blade at Asakim. "Sorry, but please keep me company until my blades run out."

Asakim let out a smirk. "Very well. I hope you can keep things interesting for me as well," he said as he also pointed his sword at Shirou.

Soon, Shirou and Asakim ran towards each other and started clashing once more. Sword swing met sword swing, block met block, neither of them were giving up an inch.

Shirou then ran towards Asakim while summoning swords to attack him. However, Asakim was dodging them easily while swinging his sword at the falling swords. He then raised his hand and then floated in the air. "Tragic Genocider!"

In an instant, small black birds appeared from Asakim's hand and went for Shirou. However, Shirou saw the black birds coming and proceeded to dodge them while fending off some of them at the same time.

However, that was all a distraction as Asakim appeared from the air and tried to slash Shirou. However, Shirou managed to see that coming and blocked his attack head on. He then pushed him back and proceeded to charge at him.

As he did, he then summoned Caliburn out from its stone, grasped it in his hands, and swung at him. "Sword of Selection, grant me power! Cleave the wicked! Caliburn!"

In an instant, a giant beam of light appeared from the tip of the sword and was fired at Asakim. He barely had time to dodge at the distance between him and Caliburn was close and was hit with the blast.

However, the onslaught continued as Shirou then projected a bow and Caladbolg. He then placed the sword on the bow and then started to prop it.

"My core is twisted in madness! Caladbolg!"

And in an instant, Shirou shot Caladbolg at the mysterious stranger, creating a giant explosion upon impact. Shirou let out a sigh as he saw the explosion. "Phew. Hope that did it. But then again, this is an evil immortal interdimensional space god that can control the Akashic Records from another universe we're talking about here, so I wouldn't be surprised if he survived that." he thought.

Everyone beside Ritsuka had their eyes widen upon hearing that. "Wait, what?" they thought.

And just as Shirou thought that, Asakim came out of the blast, although not unscathed.

"Well now, shooting a sword with a bow...that's quite unheard of."

Shirou let out a sigh. "You aren't the first one to say that you know..."

Asakim let out a chuckle. "True. Anyways, as much as I want this to continue...I think it's about time that we end this."

"Agreed," Shirou said as he unsheathed his Muramasa blade and held it up. Meanwhile, Asakim then grabbed DisCalibur and used it to create a wound on his hand. As he did that, he then raised his hand.

"Embrace the darkness and break the light!" he yelled as he jumped. "Evil Divinity!"

In an instant, three dark magic circles appeared in front of him and flew through the three magic circles. As he did, he was surrounded by a black aura.

Meanwhile, Shirou was preparing to unleash his noble phantasm.

"I'm not the King of Knights, Arturia.
I'm not the one praised as the Hound of Ireland, Cu.
I'm not the Witch of Betrayal, Medea.
I'm not the great hero, Hercules.
I'm not the wandering swordsman, Sasaki.
I'm not the fallen goddess, Medusa.
And I'm not the counter guardian of humanity, EMIYA.
Why, out of all people, I, a magus, was summoned.
For being unable to foresee that, this is your defeat."

"Once seeking for the ultimate blade.
A blade of steel cutting no flesh, nor bones and neither life.
What I seek for is the clearance of resentment.
The cutting of bonds, fate and destiny."

Shirou's Muramasa blade soon began to glow. At the same time however, every sword that was in Shirou's reality marble started to light up and there was a red aura around him that was swirling around him like a harsh wind.

"That is, to free oneself from Karma."

"Upon one's arrival are countless tools.
Carved over a thousand blades, forming a pile of swords.
This is the place where all paths cross.
This is the place where all desires flow.
This is the place where all deaths await.
My whole life was for this single swing."

Soon, Asakim was getting closer to Shirou. "Fall into the infinite prison! Ley Buster!" he yelled.

However, it was then that Shirou swung his sword.

"The heart of the blade is right here!
Take this, this is my Tsumugari Muramasa!"

Shirou then swung Tsumugari Muramasa at Asakim. As he did, a few pillars of fire suddenly came out of the ground. Afterwards, the pillars disappeared, revealing the two.

For a moment, nothing happened. Then Asakim stood up and said a few words.

"Well then...looks like I lost."

And then, a bunch of blood splurted out from Asakim as he fell to the ground. Shirou did the same but caught himself at the last moment and instead was kneeling on the ground.

"So...this is what death feels like..." Asakim then started laughing.

"What's so funny?" Shirou asked.

"Well, throughout my life, I've been trying to find a way to die. However, this cursed body of mine wouldn't allow it. I thought I would be cursed to wander forever, not being able to die...until I met you that is."

"I see...how does it feel?"

"Honestly, it feels...refreshing."

"I see...rest...for all of eternity...in the afterlife..." Shirou said while breathing air at the same time.

Shurouga let out a smile. "Yeah. Maybe...I'll will..."

"Goodbye...Asakim Dowen..."

"Yeah. Goodbye...Emiya Shirou..."

Asakim started to disappear, not before saying his last words.

"The wind is calling me, that voice I heard once before."

And then Asakim Dowen disappeared as his body faded away, leaving his blade behind...

-Scene end-

Everyone was completely speechless at the scene while Zelretch let out a smirk.

After all, they just saw Shirou kill an evil immortal interdimensional space god that can control the Akashic Records from another universe.

For a moment, nobody said anything. Then Arturia decided to break the silence.

"Um...Zelretch...are my eyes deceiving me or did we just witness Shirou-?" Arturia asked but was cut off from Zelretch.

Zelretch's smirk grew even bigger. "Your eyes aren't deceiving you, young Arturia. Shirou killed an evil immortal space god."

At that moment, everyone exploded. "What?! Shirou/Emiya-kun/Senpai/Onii-chan/Sherou killed an evil immortal space god?!"

"Yup."

As soon as EMIYA heard Zelretch's answer, he was freaking out on the inside. "OKAY! THIS IS RIDICULOUS! HOW DID MY YOUNGER SELF MANAGED TO GET INTO A FIGHT WITH AN EVIL IMMORTAL SPACE GOD!? AND FURTHERMORE, AN EVIL IMMORTAL SPACE GOD THAT CAN CONTROL THE AKASHIC RECORDS FROM ANOTHER UNIVERSE?! WHAT IS THIS BULLSHIT ZELRETCH?!"

"How though?! How is that even possible?! He may have Tsumugari Muramasa and a reality marble, but this is crazy! Even for that idiot! Plus, if word about this spread, he would have gotten himself a sealing designation immediately! Or from any of the other stunts!" Ishtar yelled.

"Exactly! And why did Sherou had to go and fight him?!" Astraea said.

"It's because I asked him to do it."

Everyone was stunned for a moment. "You asked him to do that?!" they said in unison.

"Yeah."

"But why though?! Why did you ask Shirou to kill an evil immortal interdimensional space god that can control the Akashic Records from another universe?! Are you trying to kill him or something?!" Irisviel ranted.

"Yeah! Wasn't there anyone else?!" Sitonai asked.

"And plus, who is Asakim Dowen?! I've never heard of him!" Mashu said.

"One question at a time people, one question at a time," Zelretch said with a sigh. Soon, everyone got quiet, allowing Zelretch to explain his reasons. "Okay. As I mentioned earlier, Asakim Dowen is an evil interdimensional space god who was cursed with immortality and has went through the cycle of destruction and rebirth many times, causing the destruction of many universes."

Everyone besides Ritsuka was dumbfounded over Zelretch's explaination.

"It was then Asakim had his sights on Shirou's world, which worried me a lot. So, I had to ask him because well...he was the only one nearby at the same time."

"Really?"

"Yeah. Don't get me wrong, I did tell him that he can reject the fight, but he actually accepted it and went headfirst into it."

Ishtar let out a sigh. "That idiot..." she muttered. "Well then again, that's expected from Emiya-kun."

"Still though, I'm surprised. To think that Sherou would go up against a god, and win...that's amazing!" Astraea said in glee.

"Exactly. I'm relieved that Shirou managed to beat an evil god and save the world," Arturia said with pride.

Meanwhile, Ritsuka was silent for the whole time. "Um senpai...are you okay?"

"Yeah...yeah, I'll be fine..." Ritsuka muttered.

However, Ritsuka's mind was having different thoughts.

"Okay, how the hell did Shirou manage to meet an antagonist of the entirety of the Super Robot Wars Z series?! Not only that, but he managed to defeat him as well! What the heck?! I thought only the main protagonists of the series could beat him with the spheres! And furthermore, why was he human instead in a mech unleashing those attacks?! Plus, he wasn't in the Shurouga Sin mech!"

"Anyways, since we already saw this scene, we're almost to the end," Zelretch said.

-Scene change: Emiya Residence-

Emiya Shirou, who was in his old age, was getting out of the futon he was sleeping in and went out to the porch of the Emiya residence. As he did, he then sat down on the porch.

"Looks like the moon is full today...reminds me of the last conversation I had with the old man..." he thought as he looked at the moon.

For a while, Shirou continued to look at the moon. As he did, a few thoughts came into him.

"Wow. Time goes by fast. I mean, I went from surviving a great fire to getting myself caught into a deadly war between heroic spirits over a cursed holy grail to finding out that I'm directly related to the Muramasa family to fighting corrupt magi, rogue dead apostle ancestors, and even an evil immortal interdimensional space god that can control the Akashic Records from another dimension. By the root, Tohsaka and Luvia would yell at me for eternity if they find out about the last part."

"Yeah, we would," Ishtar and Astraea thought in unison.

Shirou let out a chuckle before he continued to look at the moon. "Still though...the many things that I have done in my life...I have no regrets with any of them."

Shirou then raised his hand at the full moon.

"Old man, I've done it. I've became the hero of justice you wanted to be. It wasn't easy, but I managed to fulfill your dream. And you were right about a few things. Being a hero of justice isn't that easy. There are times that would require a hard decision to make, and you may regret some of those decisions. But despite all of that, I did it. I fulfilled the promise I made for you."

Shirou then grasped his hand. As he did, his eyesight was getting worse and he felt his heart slowly beating.

"Well...it's about time huh? Looks like I'll be seeing you now...Saber..."

Shirou closed his eyes and dropped his arm. His heart stopped.

And just like that, Emiya Shirou died.

Just like how Emiya Kiritsugu did, under the full moon in the Emiya Residence.

With a smile on his face.

-Scene end-

As the scene ended, nearly everyone wanted to cry from how Shirou died. Even EMIYA let out a small tear as he now knew how his younger self died.

Not on a hill of swords, or being betrayed, but rather in the comfort of his own home, the same way Emiya Kiritsugu died.

And he felt relieved.

"So...you avoided the end I have come to..." EMIYA thought as he remembered how he died.

Irisviel felt like crying. "So that's how Shirou died...the same way that world's Kiritsugu died..."

"Shirou..." Jaguar-man said as she shed a tear.

"Yeah...it's quite ironic...and to think he spent the entirety of his life searching for someone..." Zelretch said.

"Who?" Arturia asked.

Zelretch let out a smirk. "You, young Arturia."

Arturia was shocked and blushed for a moment. "Me?"

"Yeah. After he graduated from the Clock Tower, he left on a journey to find you. During that journey, he met many new things and friends and fought enemies he has never seen before. Heck, he even went up against an evil space god for root's sake! All because he wanted to see you again!"

Arturia was shocked at the reason why Shirou became a heroic spirit. "Shirou...you spent all that time...searching for me?"

Mashu was amazed with what Zelretch said. "Wow...so Shirou-san endured all of that to meet you again Arturia-san...that's amazing."

"Yeah..." Arturia said as she felt happy.

Ishtar let out a sigh. As she did, she noticed Parvati who looked a little depressed. "Something wrong Parvati?"

"Hm? Oh, nothing. Nothing's wrong," Parvati said with a sigh.

Ishtar was confused for a moment, but she shrugged the feeling off.

Meanwhile, Irisviel had a few thoughts going in her head. "So, that's how my son became a heroic spirit...all to meet Arturia again...well then, looks like we have a winner here," she thought with a smile on her face.

"So, the King of Knights has the upper hand...that doesn't matter! The war is not over yet!" Astraea thought.

"Well then, now I know what Shirou's been up to, and while that explains some answers, he's still not going to escape my wrath! I'm going to have a serious talk with him later!" Jaguar-man yelled as she soon left the movie theater.

Arturia, Ishtar, Parvati, Sitonai, Astraea, Irisviel, and EMIYA let out a sigh. "Ah well, here she goes..."

Zelretch got out from his seat. "Well then, looks like the event is over, which marks my time to leave now. Hope to see all of you again!" he said with a smug grin.

And in an instant, Zelretch teleported back to the Kaleidoscope. As he disappeared, Ishtar and Astraea had a grim look on their faces.

"Something tells me he's going to return later..." they thought in unison.

(Meanwhile...)

"Well then, this was unexpected..." Merlin said.

"No kidding. Who would have ever though that Shirou became a heroic spirit by fighting dead apostle ancestors, corrupt magi, and an evil immortal interdimensional space god who can control the Akashic Records from another universe! And he was just searching for Arturia! That's amazing, even for me," Da Vinci said.

"Well, that's love for you. It can help people surpass their boundaries."

"Exactly. Also, did you expect to see Zelretch here?"

"Nope. His surprise arrival even shocked me. I can't believe he actually came out of the Kaleidoscope to watch the scenes. And with a bag of popcorn netherless."

"Me too."

The two were silent for a moment before Merlin came up with an idea in his head.

"Hey Da Vinci, can I borrow the footage for a moment?"

"Well...sure, but why?"

Merlin let out a sinister smirk. "Oh, you'll see..."

Thanks to Merlin's idea, news about Shirou's feat of killing an evil immortal interdimensional space god who can control the Akashic Records from another universe spread throughout Chaldea.

And the reactions were crazy.

In Arturia's case, when she told her counterparts about the feat, they were amazed at how Shirou managed to take a task like that on himself. However, upon mentioning that he was searching for Arturia, Arturia and her counterparts got into a fight over who gets Shirou.

In Ishtar's case, when she told her counterparts about the feat, they were in disbelief over how Shirou managed to kill an evil space god. This disbelief even grew when she told them that Zelretch was there as well.

In Parvati's case, when she told her counterparts about the feat, they were shocked and scared that he managed to take on a god. However, when Parvati mentioned that he was searching for Arturia, they were a bit sad.

In Sitonai's case, when she told her counterparts about the feat, they had their mouths dropped at what he just did.

In EMIYA's case, when he told his counterpart about the feat, he was dumbfounded over what his younger self did.

In Cu and his counterparts' case, they were shocked and interested in the feat and wanted to ask Shirou what it felt like to kill an evil space god.

In Medusa's case, she was stunned to find out that Shirou killed an evil space god. And for some reason, she felt a bit of satisfaction.

In Medea's case, she was shocked to hear that Shirou killed an evil space god.

In Sasaki's case, he was interested and wanted to know what it felt like to kill an evil space god.

In Hercules's case, he didn't care.

However, in Gilgamesh's case, he was not amused over the fact that Shirou killed an evil space god. Furthermore, his counterparts even scolded him when he attacked Shirou and Arturia out of jealously, annoying him even further.

In Nero and her counterparts' case, they were excited and amazed over how Shirou managed to kill an evil space god by himself and wanted to ask him about the details.

In Jeanne D'Arc and her counterparts' case, Jeanne D'Arc and her Alter Santa Lily counterpart were amazed while Jeanne D'Arc Alter laughed at how Shirou managed to kill an evil space god.

In Okita and her counterparts' case, they were shocked at what Shirou just did.

In Musashi's case, she was amazed, excited, and wanted to know how the fight went.

In the Knights of the Round's case, they were amazed about Shirou's feat. Especially Mordred.

In Hakuno's case, she was shocked that Shirou killed an evil space god. Not only that, but after seeing the scene of Gilgamesh attacking Shirou and Arturia, she decided to give him a punishment worse than a restraining order.

In Sieg's case, he was amazed with Shirou's feat.

In Scathach and her counterpart's case, they were amused with Shirou's feat. Especially Scathach since she never met an evil space god before.

In Waver's case, he was completely dumbfounded over the fact that Shirou killed an evil space god and had his mouth dropped to the ground, making Reines amused by his reaction while Gray was surprised.

In both Amakusa Shirou and Arthur's case, they were surprised that Shirou killed an evil space god.

In Jack, Paul, Nursery, and Abigail's case, they were amazed and a little bit sad that they didn't get to see it in the movie theater.

All and all, everyone in Chaldea was having a field day.

However, it led to one simple question.

Which side was the true side of Emiya Shirou?

The one who works in the kitchen, helps everyone, and is Da Vinci's favorite guinea pig? Or the one who fights against dead apostle ancestors, corrupt magi, and an evil immortal interdimensional space god that can control the Akashic Records from another universe?

Omake

Shirou let out a moan as he woke up from his sleep. "Mnnnnh...what happened? The last thing that I remembered was that I was walking in the hallway and suddenly passed...out..." After a moment of quick thinking, he realized what happened. "Merlin. This was Merlin's doing...well, guess I'll talk to him later and get an explanation," he thought as he let out a sigh. Shirou then proceeded to get out of bed. However, it was then he realized something.

He couldn't move.

As he tried to move his arms and legs, he saw that they were held on by something. "What the heck?! Why can't I move?! Who's holding onto me?!"

However, it was then that he got his answer. In the form of many voices.

"Shirou..." the voices muttered.

Shirou immediately knew the voices. It was Arturia and her counterparts.

And that was when Shirou realized that he was in a den of lions, and there was no escape...

Author's note: I do not own Asakim, the many attacks he unleashed, and Super Robot Wars Z. Bandai Namco Games does. Also, I do not own Beryl Gut. FGO does.
