Lancer and Saber's fight continued but strangely remained at a stalemate, the conditions for its end had not been met.
𝘗𝘶𝘵𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘢𝘴𝘪𝘥𝘦 𝘰𝘯𝘦'𝘴 𝘰𝘸𝘯 𝘴𝘢𝘧𝘦𝘵𝘺 𝘪𝘧 𝘢 𝘤𝘢𝘭𝘧 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘪𝘯 𝘥𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘦𝘳.
The red-haired man stopped paying attention to the battle as he tried to focus his mind.
𝘉𝘦𝘤𝘢𝘶𝘴𝘦 𝘴𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘵𝘪𝘮𝘦𝘴 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘩𝘢𝘥 𝘵𝘰 𝘭𝘦𝘵 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘵𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘨𝘩𝘵𝘴 𝘨𝘰, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘭𝘦𝘵 𝘪𝘯𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘤𝘵 𝘵𝘢𝘬𝘦 𝘤𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘵.
- Trace On - The words were spoken with earnestness and conviction, sparks flew as his twenty-seven circuits came to life.
He needed to fight, if he wanted to change everything he would start at one of the most important turning points.
𝘐𝘯𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘨𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘤𝘦𝘥𝘶𝘳𝘦𝘴.
For even though Emiya Shirou would not go the way of the hero of justice, he was still someone who would help others.
It was a part of himself that would never go away, not even Archer with all his cynicism and moodiness was exempt from this.
Why? Because it was never wrong to help others.
𝘙𝘦𝘱𝘭𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘰𝘧 𝘯𝘦𝘦𝘥𝘦𝘥 𝘮𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘢𝘭𝘴.
It wasn't altruism or anything so noble, it was the simple desire to keep the people around him from crying.
To protect those smiles on the faces of the innocent? To forge dreams and hopes.
𝘽𝙚𝙘𝙖𝙪𝙨𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙨 𝙡𝙞𝙛𝙚, 𝙣𝙤𝙬 𝙝𝙖𝙙 𝙢𝙚𝙖𝙣𝙞𝙣𝙜.
𝘉𝘦𝘤𝘢𝘶𝘴𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘭𝘪𝘧𝘦, 𝘯𝘰𝘸 𝘩𝘢𝘥 𝘮𝘦𝘢𝘯𝘪𝘯𝘨.
Two mystical codes appeared on each hand, forged within UBW for its master.
Based on the weapons of the Counter Guardian EMIYA Alter, two pistols were there manifested.
The familiar weight caused the boy's mind to drift to a series of memories coming from the guns' original owner.
𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘧𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘥𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘫𝘦𝘤𝘵 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘭𝘢𝘪𝘥.
𝙃𝙞𝙜𝙝 𝙎𝙥𝙖𝙧𝙠𝙨 𝙇𝙞𝙣𝙚𝙧 - 𝘼 𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙢 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙪𝙣𝙧𝙚𝙡𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙩𝙚𝙘𝙝𝙣𝙞𝙦𝙪𝙚, 𝙨𝙖𝙘𝙧𝙞𝙛𝙞𝙘𝙚 𝙞𝙣 𝙚𝙭𝙘𝙝𝙖𝙣𝙜𝙚 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙫𝙞𝙘𝙩𝙤𝙧𝙮.
I would take the technique, make him proud.
𝙈𝙞𝙣𝙙 𝙤𝙛 𝙎𝙩𝙚𝙚𝙡 - 𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙬𝙞𝙡𝙡 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙢𝙞𝙣𝙙 𝙩𝙤 𝙚𝙣𝙙𝙪𝙧𝙚 𝙖𝙣𝙮 𝙙𝙚𝙘𝙞𝙨𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙣 𝙞𝙛 𝙞𝙩 𝙘𝙖𝙢𝙚 𝙩𝙤 𝙨𝙚𝙩𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙖𝙨𝙞𝙙𝙚 𝙖𝙣𝙮 𝙚𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙘𝙨 𝙤𝙧 𝙢𝙤𝙧𝙖𝙡𝙨.
He would take the will, he would not stop going forward.
There were too many people to save.
𝙎𝙥𝙧𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙎𝙤𝙣𝙜 - 𝙉𝙤 𝙡𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙙 𝙤𝙣𝙚 𝙬𝙤𝙪𝙡𝙙 𝙗𝙚 𝙡𝙚𝙛𝙩 𝙗𝙚𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙙, 𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙣 𝙞𝙛 𝙝𝙚 𝙝𝙖𝙙 𝙩𝙤 𝙨𝙖𝙘𝙧𝙞𝙛𝙞𝙘𝙚 𝙝𝙞𝙨 𝙛𝙡𝙚𝙨𝙝. 𝙃𝙞𝙨 𝙪𝙣𝙙𝙮𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙨𝙥𝙞𝙧𝙞𝙩 𝙬𝙤𝙪𝙡𝙙 𝙨𝙩𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙩𝙤 𝙥𝙧𝙤𝙩𝙚𝙘𝙩 𝙩𝙝𝙤𝙨𝙚 𝙞𝙣 𝙣𝙚𝙚𝙙.
He would take his wishes, for no matter what, he was still human.
He could not become a machine without feelings.
𝙊𝙖𝙩𝙝 𝙐𝙣𝙙𝙚𝙧 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙎𝙣𝙤𝙬 - 𝙁𝙤𝙘𝙪𝙨𝙚𝙙, 𝙬𝙞𝙩𝙝 𝙖 𝙘𝙡𝙚𝙖𝙧 𝙢𝙞𝙣𝙙 𝙤𝙣 𝙝𝙞𝙨 𝙜𝙤𝙖𝙡, 𝙝𝙚 𝙬𝙤𝙪𝙡𝙙 𝙨𝙖𝙘𝙧𝙞𝙛𝙞𝙘𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙬𝙤𝙧𝙡𝙙 𝙞𝙛 𝙣𝙚𝙘𝙚𝙨𝙨𝙖𝙧𝙮. 𝘼𝙡𝙡 𝙩𝙤 𝙥𝙧𝙤𝙩𝙚𝙘𝙩 𝙬𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙢𝙖𝙩𝙩𝙚𝙧𝙚𝙙 𝙢𝙤𝙨𝙩 𝙩𝙤 𝙝𝙞𝙢.
He would make that determination, a guardian should not waver in his duty.
𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘣𝘢𝘴𝘦𝘴 𝘸𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘪𝘮𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘥, 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘢𝘯𝘰𝘮𝘢𝘭𝘺 𝘵𝘰𝘰𝘬 𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘪𝘯𝘤𝘢𝘳𝘯𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴 𝘢𝘴 𝘢𝘯 𝘦𝘹𝘢𝘮𝘱𝘭𝘦.
Sometimes to be unique, one had to copy others a little.
And strangely enough, no one was better than him in that respect.
..........
To say she was alarmed was definitely an understatement to what she felt.
Different from Servant Archer's almost exasperated expression. Tohsaka Rin's expression could be summed up in a nutshell as....
Shit, I forgot the beans on the stove.
She had saved a victim from death's door, who curiously had been none other than Sakura's love interest.
That being her main reason for helping him. Emiya Shirou, the boy whose simplicity was known to everyone as the fake janitor and a wimp who did whatever he was asked to do as long as it was in the name of "offering help".
It wasn't unusual for people to take advantage of him and for him to be practically incapable of saying "no" in response to a request, mainly a seaweed-haired idiot.
The girl frowned at the memory of the annoying Matou Shinji but soon put it aside, he wasn't important right now.
She had made a grave mistake by leaving him alone in the school. What if Lancer noticed that the witness was still alive?
The conclusion was so obvious that even a child could have noticed it very easily.
In any case, it would mean that he sacrificed a perfect gem that had been charged with prana for 10 years for nothing. A total waste of resources that could have been put to better use in the war.... Besides, Sakura would be discouraged.
As much as she was a non-present older sister, Rin still wished happiness for her.
Therefore, the next course of action was somewhat obvious. No matter how much Archer protested she wasn't going to change her mind.
Maybe if they were lucky they could catch Lancer off guard and eliminate him, it never hurt to be a little positive despite the bad situation.
A wicked grin adorned her face as she thought about bragging in front of the fake priest that she, despite being as he had called her, an "inexperienced" one, could still get the upper hand in the war.
And by using an Archer instead of a Saber!
Charging her to increase the speed at which they moved. Archer sighed at how childish his Master could be.
...........
A strand of white hair, almost unnoticeable unless you looked closely, appeared in Shirou's hair.
His look was different than it had been at first, he seemed more confident now that he knew what he could and could not use.
The experiences had accumulated, it hadn't taken him long to put them to use.
His reserves were still low, but like Archer he now knew how to put them to good use.
Experiences forged men and their mentality.
It was the difference between a child and an adult.
What was UBW's duty? To forge, create, copy and imitate. And in this case he had used it all, forging new weapons for his master, helping him create a new determination, copying the experiences through the new knowledge he had gained, imitating an adult-like mentality to give him security.
While the boy was not ready, at least now he could defend himself from the start.
Looking at the weapons in his hands, an internal debate raged in the boy's mind, change was necessary to achieve his goal. That was definite, but was it wise at this precise moment.
Tohsaka Rin was surely on her way and Saber's battle was not over yet.
According to how it was originally supposed to be, he would leave after Saber, the guy in blue would reveal his Noble Phantasm and then leave.
He would spend a command seal to stop Saber, chat with Rin and then go to Kotomine's church to meet Berserker.
It was the best course of action to take.... He was also quite curious as to what would happen if he chose one option.
He still wanted to find out who the white haired girl was, she must be someone important to have so many Bad Ends with her.
...........
Wiping the imaginary sweat from his brow, Zelretch smiled, it wasn't his usual teasing smile or one of ill omen, like those that made the Magus in the clock tower tremble.
It was one of genuine joy.
An interesting variant had appeared, and with it, fate had undergone a great change.
The boy was erasing and rewriting the turning points of his timeline... almost as if he were aware of them.
Soon the smile was erased from the old man's face, using the second magic he prepared to reach that world.
He had to secure the boy before it was too late.
........
Chaldea, an organization founded by Marisbury Animusphere, created with the goal of protecting the human order and preserving humanity by eliminating singularities.
It was not uncommon for the halls to be filled with noise and bustle, a side effect of having a large number of Servants summoned.
𝘉𝘶𝘵 𝘵𝘰𝘥𝘢𝘺? 𝘐𝘵 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘥𝘦𝘧𝘪𝘯𝘪𝘵𝘦𝘭𝘺 𝘥𝘪𝘧𝘧𝘦𝘳𝘦𝘯𝘵.
A new singularity had appeared, a bitter memory had returned to the Masters and staff.
𝑺𝒊𝒏𝒈𝒖𝒍𝒂𝒓𝒊𝒕𝒚 𝑭.
Once again, they had to return to Fuyuki.
