Shirou pov
I wasn't sure how to complete my reality marble, but I soon figured the best person to talk with was Rin. She summoned an archer who was an alternate version of myself and seemed to use a power that felt like him, at the same time I was saving sex with Saber. But that moment was too blurry for me to remember it exactly. Remembering the fact I had dreams of Saber's past, in figured Rin would likely have had dreams of archer and that could connect to what I needed to complete my new power. It was after school; I went to her house to talk with her and trade a bottle of phoenix tears and a rare jewel if need be.
When I made it to Rin's place, I said to her "would you be willing to make a trade? I will give you something if you can help me." Rin replied with "what do you have that I want?" I said, "phoenix tears just for info and a tear gem of a snow maiden yokai for helpful info." I knew both were more than enough to bait Rin into helping me and neither cost me anything at all. She said, "okay I will help you what do you need to know." I replied "I need to know how Archer completed his reality marble. I know you saw some of his dreams." She then told me "I need to compare your life so far to what I saw of Archer's life." With that, we talked about my life and the visions she saw of Archer and then she said "from what I can tell at this point, you and archer are completely different people event at the point in which he won the fifth holy grail war. the man had very little to live for at that point and less after Illya died, but you have so much more. You have several girlfriends and most have given you children. From what I can tell the you that became Archer never completed his reality marble in life. But the you now has made leaps and bound beyond what he could have ever hoped to reach. Emiya, to complete it you need to know who exactly your parents are. Even before you became a devil. You clearly weren't a first-generation magus. But the why is the problem. You need to learn more about yourself and your lineage first."
Then Merlin popped into the house and said "I can give you a hint on your family. he's in the middle of the holy grail war in America right now." both the strange man that was Merlin and the fact somebody has created another holy grail war and before either of us could ask the wizard vanished before our eyes and Rin asked me "who was that and what did he mean about a holy grail war in America?" I replied "that was Merlin, and I don't know all the details myself. What I can tell you is that the Greek demigods are at war and Gaia is on the rise and so is the serpent of shadow Apophis and the original Excalibur was split into seven separate swords."
Rin then temporarily spasmed likely from information overload and then said to me "the best help I can offer is to find out about your birth parents. I will keep all you told me to myself. I heard Merlin was trapped in Avalon. I to that "I think he's here in person. He goes to strip clubs and brothels with Halsin. As for your reality marble, until you can meet this brother, I would suggest trying to extend the use of your partial reality marble for now. Just train with like a muscle training over and over again should help." with that, would have to hope to meet my brother someday. It was when I arrived home, I found a note from Merlin saying "children of the same god tend to be drawn together so don't worry it will happen, its just a matter of when. Your brother also met Mordred's and Jan's niece by their family line and the relative of another enemy you faced."
Issei pov
It was after our recent battle, Issei and I started to do stage shows for underworld tv, but the end of the first show ended up with me failing to have harem fun due to Rias and Shirou having a quicky with Mordred. But after that we made a kid's day. After the show both families were happy, we made them lots of money and fame. I also learned my dragon was pleased with the new reputation I had given him.
After that I visited with the family of the man I would soon face to see if we could help and the best way to help the woman was to use my ability to dive into her soul and help her. I did promise to help, after that I talked to him and promised the man a good fight no matter what. After that Shirou and I trained together in our training, I learned the field he made was a pocket dimension under his complete control. Inside said space, I got to see the dragon that was his partner and learned that said dragon preferred to take on a human form but could also switch to dragon form. He didn't take much else, but I guess there was stuff, neither wanted to reveal.
After that, Xenobia trained with Mordred and learned that the blond knight had more skill and power than my blue-haired teammate. But after the battle was done, we had to prepare to be on tv. But Shirou was hoping it could be on a tv channel that could reach his brother. After hearing that, I asked my friend "what do you mean by brother?" he replied with "one of my parents is a god and said god also had my brother, I don't know all the details or even much else besides the fact they looked similar, and his brother is currently fighting in the holy grail war."
After that there was a press conference for the coming matches of team Rias against team Sairaorg and team Ravel against team Sona. But in the middle of said conference, questions were asked to both me and Shirou that made us both go red. With said questions I learned Shirou had four different children with one parent being one of the current campione.
After that I had a bath with Rias and learned from her "another campione was born recently learned in another part of Japan. After that I knew Rias was about to hook up with me, but I said the wrong thing and killed the mood. I said president instead of her name and with that she left me alone. After that came another meeting and I learned Azazel would be our advisor and Riser would advise his sister's party. I knew that was between having to take care of the four babies. I learned that Ravel's party was still missing a few pieces but so was Sona's peerage so it would be a pretty even match.
Shirou pov
After the meeting, I talked with Ravel's mother and learned that she and I would end up having a wedding right after the rating game. After that I saw her doating over my son with Ravel. She told me about my power and how hard it was figure out the parents of demigods born after Olympic games but if Merlin said so it would likely happen soon enough.
Issei pov
After that I talked to Rias about what happened and said something again that was clearly the wrong thing to say, but I didn't know exactly what I said wrong. Xenobia Just that I said the wrong thing I could talk to her until I learned what I said wrong. I then went to see Shirou and he told me "Having multiple girlfriends is a balance and you aren't balancing things right. that's all I can tell you."
After thinking it over, I started to figure out she loves me and wanted to be addressed as a woman. After that Akeno and Koneko helped drain my pent-up power while Asia healed me with her sacred gear. It was then I figured out what my issue with intimacy was, that was the fallen angel that nearly killed me and how she used my lust and feelings to do so.
As I thought about that, Asia talked to me to help me get over that pain and block. But before I could do anything with the three girls. The other two girls came in and broke up the mood, in the end I think I ended up having sex with each of the girls but wasn't completely sure. After that, I came on the day of the battle. we did meet a strange skeleton man that I knew as Orcus the roman god of punishment and he said, "normally major gods like lord hades would be here but most of them are too busy in a war between their two sides. So, I had to come. My legacy is about to cause some problems in the states in this war soon. but that coming close to the doors of death and that holy grail war is about to close."
I then talked with our fallen angel advisor, and he said "yeah due to that war the major Greek gods are out of the picture but some of the minor roman and Greek gods are showing up in their place. sadly, the Egyptian faction is busy as well with the shadow serpent. I have a feeling Merlin will show up and to the match." After that we met Ravel, Shirou and Riser who were preparing for his battle against Sona and her peerage. Ravel told me to be ready for the battle while her battle would be the opening act. After that Shirou said to me "these matches will be both are doors to the pro leagues. I expect you to get stronger and get another peerage member soon enough."
With that we got to seats and prepared to see what Shirou and Ravel could do in the coming battle. we started to see the rules discussed for each match as Sona stood before her underclassman. The two soon learned the rules and figured the point value for each round would be decided with two twenty-sided dice for this match with that they rolled dice and we learned it would be a match between rooks and knights.
