Beta read by someone.
"So basically, you two are servants from an organization from Chaldea which is designed to protect humanity from another universe, you're Leonardo Da Vinci, the boy over there is an alternate future self of him, and you two got here from a vortex of unknown means?" Medea asked.
"Yes." Da Vinci replied.
Medea let out a sigh. "What the hell is this? I have never seen something like this before…" she said in disbelief. "Not to mention Archer passed out for no reason…"
"Neither do I. Seriously, two versions of the kid? And one of them is a servant from an alternate future? That is something I would have never expected to see today." Cu said as he looked at the alternate Shirou. "Speaking of which, how strong is he?"
At that moment, everyone turned to Da Vinci for the answer. "Well…I'm not one to brag…but to put it in simple terms…he surpassed the King of Heroes…including his noble phantasm." she said with a smirk on her face.
At that moment, everyone's mouths dropped, including the normal Shirou. "EEEHHH?!"
"Yeah. You heard me."
That moment, everyone in the room including the alternate Shirou turned to Shirou in shock. For a moment, nobody did not say anything until Rin broke the silence in the room. "So…you're saying that…in the future…Emiya-kun goes from a magus that does only projection…into a servant who surpassed the King of Heroes and his noble phantasms?!" she asked in disbelief.
"Yup."
For a moment, nobody said anything in the room…until Medea broke the silence with a ridiculous question. "Hey Da Vinci, can I borrow him for a few days as my servant?"
"ABSOLUTELY NOT! THAT'S NOT HOW IT WORKS! YOU CAN'T TAKE SERVANTS THAT EASILY!" Arturia, Rin, Sakura, and Illya yelled while the others covered their ears.
"Pfffff. Rule Breaker." Medea said with a scoff.
Da Vinci let out a groan. "Looks like the Medea here acts like the one in Chaldea too…"
"Eh? The one in Chaldea?"
"Oh yeah. Now that you two, or rather three are here, I suppose I should tell all of you this. All of you are in Chaldea as well, with counterparts."
"Eh? We're there as well? And with counterparts?" Cu asked with curiosity.
"Yes. For example, you have a Caster and Berserker version of yourself there along with your younger self as well."
Cu whistled at Da Vinci words. "Wow. Three versions of me. And one of them is a Caster…sounds odd to me."
"You're telling me. You as a Caster? That sounds unlike you." Medea said before her attention went towards Da Vinci. "So, what about me?"
"Well, your younger self is there, and that's it."
"Ehhhh, my younger self is there…wait, by any chance, is…he…there?" Medea asked as her mood began to darken upon the last three words of her sentence.
Da Vinci gulped before answering her. "Yes."
At that moment, a black aura appeared around Medea, making everyone around her move away from her. "Uh oh, guess I shouldn't answer that question…hope somebody figures out a way to diffuse this situation. Otherwise things will get ugly…"
Luckily for Da Vinci, the tension was cut short when the smell of food came into the living room along with the Shirous carrying them. At the same time, Medea's dark aura disappeared. Immediately, everyone turned to the food that was being presented in front of them, which was in a large pot. "Alright. Today's dinner is hot pot." Shirou said. "Hope all of you enjoy it."
As everyone looked at the hot pot in front of them, they couldn't help but wait in anticipation over eating it, especially Arturia. "Wow! This looks good! Which one of the kids made it?" Cu asked.
"Well…considering this a joint work…between me and my alternate future self." the alternate Shirou replied.
"Eh…two onii-chans cooking together…I wonder which onii-chan's cooking tastes better…" Illya said.
"That…I am interested in that…" Arturia reluctantly said with embarrassment on her face.
Da Vinci let out a chuckle before realizing something. "Hey, what do we do about Archer? He's still knocked out, isn't he?"
"Well…we'll tell him about this later. Anyways, let's dig in because I am starving!" Cu said.
Soon, everyone in the living room began to eat the assorted meat, fish, and veggies out of the hot pot, and they were having a good time.
(Later…)
"Phew! Man, I am stuffed!" Da Vinci thought to herself as she sipped on a cup of tea. "Looks like this world's Shirou's cooking is the same as ours. I wonder if that's going to be a constant thing for each Shirou…maybe not. The same could be said about this world's Arturia though. I mean, her reaction was the same as the ones from Chaldea as well." As she continued to sip on her tea, she was approached by Arturia, Rin, Sakura, Illya, Medusa, and Medea. "Hm? Is there something you want to know?"
"Considering what you said earlier…who else is there in Chaldea?" Arturia asked with curiosity.
"Well, for starters, Irisviel and Kiritsugu are there…well, alternate versions of themselves that is."
"Eh?! Mama and papa are there?!" Illya asked with shock in her voice. "How are they?!"
"Well…your mother is quite energetic. She always drags Kiritsugu to whatever shenanigans she comes up with, along with her entire family as well."
"That sounds like her." Arturia said with Illya nodding in agreement. "Anyone else?"
"Well, the Knights of the Round and Merlin are there as well…and Morgan too."
This time, it was Arturia's turn to be surprised. "Eh?! My knights are there as well?! Merlin too?! And that witch, Morgan?!" she asked in surprise. "Please don't tell me she is up to no good over there!"
"Relax. She's not doing anything dangerous over there. Funny thing is…the Morgan over at Chaldea is not the Morgan you knew."
"Eh? What do you mean?"
"Well, long story short, the Morgan at Chaldea is one from a completely different timeline. Not to mention that…she has her own set of knights as well. In fact, she even calls them her fairy knights of the round."
Arturia was stunned at the information she was just given. "Morgan…has her own set of knights? What kind of madness is this?"
"Believe me, I'm as shocked as you are when I found out about it too."
It was then Rin entered into the conversation. "Hey, is my Archer there as well?"
"Yes. He's there as well…along with his counterpart as well."
"He has a counterpart as well? What class? Saber?"
"Well…it's Archer…but altered I might say."
"Eh? Altered?"
It was at this point Da Vinci pulled out a tablet, fiddled with it for a few seconds, and handed it to Rin. "Look and you will understand."
Rin looked at the tablet for a moment before her eyes widened with shock. The others soon looked at the tablet and their reaction became the same as Rin's. "What the heck?! That's what Archer's counterpart looks like?! What's with the gold lines all over him?! And why did his skin get darker?! I can't even recognize him! Especially with that haircut!" Rin exclaimed.
"Wow. Something must have happened to him…" Medea said.
"You have no idea…" Da Vinci muttered.
"Um…sorry to interrupt…but how's senpai doing there?" Sakura asked. "Is he doing well over there?"
Da Vinci let out a chuckle. "Well…depends on how you interpret it. I mean, he is doing well in Chaldea, but…he does have a certain problem to deal with."
Arturia was slightly alarmed at that point. "What is it?"
Da Vinci sighed, knowing what she was going to say next could spark flames. "The King of Heroes."
Arturia groaned after hearing that name. "Explain."
"Well…remember when I said that Shirou surpassed the King of Heroes? Yeah, ever since then, the King of Heroes has been…quite bitter about his defeat against Shirou, and has hated him ever since. Not to mention the fact that…well…" Da Vinci said as she was struggling to say the last part of her sentence.
"Well what? Get on with it!" Rin said.
"Alright, but promise me that all of you won't go out on a rampage after I say this. Especially Saber, Rin, Sakura, and Illya."
The four girls gulped, wanting to know.
"Not to mention the fact that he tried to kill Shirou…twice."
At that moment, Arturia, Rin, Sakura, and Illya let out a collective groan. "Yup, that sounds like him…" Rin muttered with the others agreeing with her.
"Explain." Medusa and Medea said in unison.
Da Vinci let out a small groan. "Well, to sum things up, the first time Gilgamesh tried to kill Shirou was when he was showing his reality marble for the first time in Chaldea. Apparently, what happened was that a fight between Shirou and Gilgamesh happened, and he attempted to kill Shirou by using his greatest noble phantasm because he could not stand the idea of losing to him. The second time he tried to kill him was because he could not accept the fact that he possessed a weapon he doesn't have. Not to mention the fact that said weapon happens to beat one of his treasures."
Rin groaned again. "Pettiness and jealousy…why am I not surprised?"
"Nobody hurts senpai…NOBODY HURTS SENPAI!" Sakura muttered with anger in her voice.
"That's it! I'm getting Berserker and murdering that King of Heroes immediately!" Illya yelled.
"Nobody hurts my master! You will pay, King of Heroes!" Arturia yelled as she was tempted to pull out Excalibur.
"Everyone, calm down!" Da Vinci yelled, making everyone shut up for a moment. She then cleared her voice before continuing the conversation. "Don't worry, Shirou's fine despite those attempts. In fact, those attempts did not end well for Gilgamesh…in the form of him getting his noble phantasm beaten along with his arm cut off in the process and…a stomach punch from his ancestor that was so hard, it made him go across a distance."
"Eh? Shirou actually cut his arm off with his reality marble? Is that even possible?" Medusa asked.
"No, his second noble phantasm did that. As for what it is…it's a recreation of the Kusanagi no Tsurugi from his ancestor himself, also known as the Tsumugari Muramasa. With that second noble phantasm, he was able to surpass Gilgamesh. Heck, he even managed to beat his most precious treasure!"
For a moment, nobody did not say anything until Illya broke the silence as she raised a fist into the air. "Hah! Take that King of Heroes! Onii-chan is too strong for you! His noble phantasms are stronger than yours!"
"As expected from my master." Arturia said with pride in her voice.
"Phew. I'm glad that senpai is safe from that…" Sakura said with a smile. "And that King of Heroes deserves what he gets. That scumbag should die from hurting senpai."
"Well, I underestimated Emiya-kun. A recreation of a divine construct…maybe I should teach him later…" Rin said.
Da Vinci let out a small smirk from seeing their reactions. "It's the same here as well…well then, either Shirou is a master casanova in his past…or he's really that dense." She then turned to Medea and Medusa, who were looking at the scene as well. "Are you thinking what I am thinking?"
"Yes. It seems the boy has quite the love interests. I wonder, is it the same from there as well?"
"Yes, but on a bigger scale."
"How so?"
"Well…let's just say…their counterparts are involved…and a few other people as well."
At that moment, everyone's eyes turned to Da Vinci. "What?" they asked.
"Oh…yeah, you see, I'm not sure if it was on purpose or not, but a bunch of other female servants are interested in Shirou."
Arturia's, Rin's, Sakura's, and Illya's eyes nearly popped from the revelation. "Who are they?!"
"Well…Nero Claudius and her counterparts, Jeanne D'Arc Alter, Okita Souji and her counterpart, Miyamoto Musashi, and Astraea. Funny thing is that some of those people have the same face as Saber."
"Huh?! They have my face?! All of them?!" Arturia exclaimed.
"Most of them! For example, Nero Claudius and her Caster and Bride counterparts, Jeanne D'Arc Alter, and finally, Okita Souji and her counterpart, Okita Souji Alter!" she said as she took the tablet and fiddled with it again before showing the images to the girls. "See?"
Everyone's eyes widened upon looking at the Arturia look-alikes. "You have got to be kidding me…" Arturia muttered. "All of those servants…are interested in my master…"
"Huh?! Luvia is interested in him?! What the hell?!" Rin exclaimed, noticing Astraea.
"Eh? You know her, nee-san?" Sakura asked while trying to hold back her jealousy of the other female servants.
"It's a long story, and I don't want to talk about it." Rin immediately replied.
"What the heck?! Is onii-chan a casanova?! And what's with the genderbending?!" Illya exclaimed.
"Oh my…this is bigger than I expected." Medea said. "How did the boy fancy the love of a goddess?"
"I have no idea." Medusa replied.
(Meanwhile…)
"Mmmgh…ggrgmh…" EMIYA groaned as he was waking up from his earlier pass out. As he did, he remembered the thing that made him pass out earlier. "Well…shit. There's two copies of my younger self, and I'm pretty sure that one of them is a servant…just what the hell is going on here?!"
"So, you're finally awake." Cu said.
EMIYA turned around to see Cu, who was sitting next to him. "How long were you sitting there? You have a thing for watching over other people?"
"Hey, someone has to make sure you are still alive. Believe me, watching over you would be the last thing that crossed my mind, considering your master went off with the other girls." Cu replied with a groan. "So, why did you pass out earlier?"
"It's none of your business." EMIYA denied. "Anyways, what's with them? Are they enemies?"
"Well no. From what I heard, they're from an organization called Chaldea, which is from an alternate universe. Apparently, Chaldea is an organization designed to protect humanity."
EMIYA was slightly surprised by this. "An organization designed to protect humanity? That's new."
"And get this, all of us are there as well, with counterparts to boot. Heck, you even have one there too."
"What? I'm there as well? With a counterpart? What the hell?"
"Hey, if you think that's crazy, the King of Knights has 14 versions of her in Chaldea, and your master has three versions of her as well."
At that point, EMIYA felt like his eyes were going to pop out of their eye sockets upon hearing Cu's words. "What the-14 versions of the King of Knights?! 3 versions of Rin?! What the hell is this?!" he thought to himself as his mind was panicking. "Please tell me this is a dream…"
"Sadly, it's not."
Both Cu and EMIYA turned to see the source of the voice, which was the Shirou from Chaldea. "Ah, it's you." Cu said.
"Yeah." Shirou said as he sat down next to EMIYA.
For a moment, nobody did not say anything, creating a moment of awkward silence between the three servants. Eventually, Cu had enough of it and decided to leave. "So…this is getting awkward. I'm getting some beer." he said as he left.
Soon, only Shirou and EMIYA were left, and the silence between the two continued until Shirou started the conversation. "So…I take it Cu told you most of the details…me?"
EMIYA let out a groan. "You already knew who I am, Emiya Shirou?"
"Yes. You're me from an alternate timeline from the one I came from and the one here as well."
"So you knew that much as well…now that is out of the question, let me ask you this." he asked as he cleared his throat. "Emiya Shirou, the path and ideals you have chosen to walk upon…do you regret it?"
"No. I did not regret it."
"Even though those ideals may contradict your entire existence?"
Shirou let out a small sigh. "Even if those ideals may be a contradiction, or may break me down…I will still move on with them."
EMIYA was slightly amused at this version of Shirou's answer. "Oh?"
"Yeah. To be honest, I've accepted that saving people is not as easy as I thought a long time ago. There are moments where in order to save one life, you would have to sacrifice another. I've accepted that, but it doesn't mean that I can just give up on that. Even if those ideals may not be my own…for the people that believed in me, I'll keep moving forward."
At that moment, it was clear to EMIYA that this Shirou took a different path from the one he took, but he was not sure about a certain issue, and had to ask him. "So…I take it you did not take Alaya's offer?"
"No."
EMIYA let out a small sigh of relief.
"Although…I did fuse with the soul of my ancestor, and he's currently in my reality marble now."
EMIYA's eyes widened and nearly did a spit take upon hearing those words. "Okay, I did not expect that…but at least it's not Alaya." he thought to himself as he got up. "Anyways, I got to check up on Rin, so I'll leave you here."
EMIYA then left, leaving Shirou alone on the porch under the stars. "Wow, it's been a long time since I've done this…" he thought as memories came back flowing through him. As he was sitting, he noticed someone else was coming in.
Or rather…himself.
"Hey there…me." the alternate Shirou said as he sat down. "Looking at the stars?"
"Yeah." the other Shirou replied.
For a moment, nothing happened between the two until the alternate Shirou asked the other Shirou a question. "So…what happened?"
"What do you mean?"
"Well…you know, since you are from an alternate future after all."
Shirou let out a small sigh. "Well…honestly, I'm not sure if I should tell you or not, aside from us being related to Sengo Muramasa. It seems that the events here are really different from what I remember in my timeline, so telling the events from my timeline may not work here. In fact, this could lead to a future different from mine."
"I see…"
"However, let me give you a word of advice. No matter what happens in life, or what life throws at you, just follow your heart and remember the ones who have supported you on the way."
The alternate Shirou's eyes widened upon hearing his counterpart's words. After a short while, he let out a small smile. "I will do that."
"Good. Oh, that reminds me. How are we going to explain this to Fuji-nee?"
At that moment, both Shirou realized that they have no solution to that question.
(Back at Chaldea…)
"Alright! I found their coordinates!" Mashu said with a sigh of relief.
"Great! The sooner we find them, the chaos at Chaldea will come to an end quicker…" Ritsuka said as he turned to the chaos behind…in the form of a bunch of Arturias on a rampage followed by various unconscious bodies on the floor. Ritsuka shivered at the sight in front of him. "We need to find Shirou soon, or else Chaldea will be annihilated by Arturia and her counterparts…"
"WHERE…IS…SHIROU?!" they exclaimed in unison.
Ritsuka gulped before looking back at the coffins. "Mashu, are the coordinates inputted in?"
"Yes! We should be able to go where they went, senpai!"
"Well then…here goes nothing!"
And then, Ritsuka and Mashu headed towards the coffins, and rayshifted to the world Shirou and Da Vinci were. "Shirou! Da Vinci! We're coming!"
Ritsuka then closed his eyes…and then opened up to see himself at a certain temple. "This place…it looks familiar."
"Senpai? This place…it looks like the first singularity we were at before." Mashu said.
"Yeah." It was then Ritsuka noticed that he was not alone. "And I think we are not alone."
"You are right, young man."
Instantly, Mashu moved in front of Ritsuka protectively and brought out her shield. At the same time, the source of the voice revealed itself, who was this world's Sasaki Kojiro. "What are you doing on my master's property? Answer me." he calmly asked as he was about to unsheath his katana.
Ritsuka gulped at the situation he was in. "Well…this is bad…"
