Prologue
The ritual known as Heavens Feel, a ceremony designed for the purpose of reaching the Root. The three families each contributed their part of the ritual and made it into what it is today, though it has long since stopped being what it was once intended to be. Only one family still uses the ritual for its intended purpose, the Tohsaka's, while the other two simply wish for the resurrection of the third sorcery.
The fifth Holy Grail War, the fifth Heavens Feel, came to a close when the Great Grail, the piece that opened the gate to the Root, was destroyed by Emiya Shirou, his life being lost in the process. However, rather than ending the Holy Grail Wars once and for all, this only created a bigger problem. Without the Great Grail to control the Throne of Heroes, there was no filter to control the cycle. There was a rip and Epic Spirits, both Good and Evil alike, took advantage of this. Hundreds of Servants emerged from the tear and quickly spread across the globe, causing the Holy Grail War's existence to become known to the public.
The Holy Grail War was no longer simply about reaching the root. This time, there were many goals, varying with the side involved. However, because of the system created long ago for the Holy Grail War, Servants still formed contracts with masters and Command Spells were wide spread. Magi from all over the world have heard the news and are summoning servants of their very own.
Both the Mage's Association and the Church decided to intervene with the outburst of Servants, allying themselves with the heads of the three families that created the Holy Grail War in order to try and settle the issue. Tohsaka Rin took charge as the head of the Tohsaka family, Matou Sakura took over the Matou family due to all the other members of the family having passed on, and Illyasviel von Einzbern works as the public representative of the Einzbern family. All of them are now working to create a new Great Grail to control the Throne of Heroes once more.
It’s been two weeks since the incident with the 5th Holy Grail war. The catalyst for the Grail was lost and the creators no longer seek to make its container. The three family’s have scattered to different parts of the globe. Tohsaka Rin staying in Fuyuki City, Matou Sakura has gone to London, and Illyasviel von Einzbern has taken a spot in the United States. The three family’s have stationed themselves where the highest outbreak of servants has been in hopes of stopping a catastrophe that is yet to come.
It’s been a few weeks since the event had happened. Night fall had come faster than she anticipated. It was a quiet night in Fuyuki City. Tohsaka Rin was making her final preparations for her patrol of the city. Lately it has been difficult to keep the number of servants in line. Many magi use the power of their servants to commit crimes and reward them by allowing them to kill any civilians around the area. Tohsaka Rin Being in charge of this area has the responsibility to take care of those who misuse the power of their servants for their own personal gain. “Archer we’re leaving” Rin said with a stern voice that demanded respect. Archer, her servant, appeared behind her and transferred to spirit form. Rin had made her way to the city. This is where most of the activity normally occurred. Nothing about the war against servants had reached the ears of normal humans but the reports of unexplainable murders are appearing more and more on the news. There is a serial killer magi in the city. Most likely using a servant to carry out the murders.
Tohsaka Rin stood atop a skyscraper building and stared down at the city. Using magic to increase the distance she was able to see Tohsaka Rin searched the city for signs of a servant. Archer had come out of spirit from and searched as well, taking the position directly opposite of his master. Tohsaka Rin took a look downward only to see a male about her age staring directly up at her, stopped in the middle of the sidewalk. “There’s no possible way for someone to see me all the way up here” She thought “He must be admiring the building, probably just a visitor to the city”. Her thoughts made her lose track of what she was doing for a moment. A familiar sensation ran through her body, a similar event had happened a while ago and she only got a bad feeling from this. “Rin, is there something wrong” Archer asked. Rin pauses for a second then regains her composure. “Just keep watch, we can’t afford to miss him if he decides to make a move” rin responded with a nasty tongue. “It’s a good thing that because of the massive amounts of spirits that were released and the Holy Grail being destroyed that a servant can only be summoned from spirit form at night, makes things much simpler” Archer announced.
It wasn’t long until archer caught sight of the servant that had been committing the crimes of late. Both Rin and Archer leapt from the building tops. “Archer where did you see the servant?” Rin asked as they made their way to the enemy. “They seem to be near the church” archer uttered in response. It wasn’t long before they made it to the church and what they saw wasn’t something that was pleasant to see. About ten dead bodies had littered the holy grounds of the church and a man with jet black hair and a crooked smile. The man’s servant was standing next to him. He wore black armor which covered every inch of his armor. He held a sword in his hands, he was most obviously a saber category.
“Well, Well, it seems the guardian of this area has come to stop me” the man said with his crooked smile. His evil grin seemed to light a fire within Tohsaka. The look of absolute hatred had filled her face. She stared him down with a stare filled with killing intent. “I know you didn’t come all the way down here just to stare me down, prepare for battle!” said the man with an evil smirk. “Saber Attack, don’t give them time to retaliate!!!” The master bellowed as the black knight like servant charge after Rin and archer. “Trace On” Archer traced two dagger like blade. One black and the other white, both were baring the symbol for Yin Yang on their hilt. Saber swung its sword down upon Archer as he block with the weapons of his own. Archer parried sabers attack and spun to add strength to his slash. He lunged at Saber who stepped to the side and brought his sword down once again. Archer was able to block the attack with the white blade. The strength of sabers blow was immense. Saber was a powerful enemy and it wasn’t easy to fight someone with such over bearing strength.
Meanwhile Tohsaka couldn’t get close to the enemy master. In between them were the two servant do battle. One wrong step and she would have been in bad shape. The only thing she could do was watch as the scene continued. “What’s the matter Tohsaka-san? Isn’t it your duty to take care of me? You shouldn’t let your servant do all the work can you?” the opposing master taunted Rin knowing that at the moment there was nothing she could do.
The blades of the servants clashed at amazing speeds. Servants capabilities are far beyond that of humans. Their swings and movements looked like blurs of color. The intensity of the battle could be felt easily in the surrounding area. The crashing of the blades echoed in the area. Blow upon blow the servants exchanged. Then suddenly “CRASH!!!” the blades in Archers hands had been destroyed. “That’s some Noble Phantasm you got there, blown to pieces already huh!? HAHAHAHAHAHAHA” Archer jumped back. The blades that had just disappeared had reappeared once again in his hands. “Huh!?” The opposing master seemed confused for a second then his crooked smile came back once again. “I see this might be more fun than I thought” The master seemed to be out of his mind with delight.
This time the one to charge was Archer. “It looks like I’m going have to get a little more serious with you” Archer said as he came down with a mighty slash with the black blade. The black knight servant retaliated with a powerful swing of his very own. This one being more powerful than any of his other swings and with just one swing he destroyed the black blade. Archer came up with the white blade and the black knight parried. Without giving Archer time to create a new blade or respond to the attack Saber rose up his blade and sliced across his chest. Archer doubled back holding the wound.
Saber didn’t hesistate he charged directly for Toshaka Rin.
“I am the bone of my sword.”
Rin pulled out some of her magic infused jewels
“Steel is my body, and fire is my blood.”
Archer turned around and tried to stop him but the wound had held him back.
“I have created over a thousand blades.”
Rin threw the jewels directly at saber. It was able to slow him down but the servant didn’t stop it’s charge.
“Unaware of loss, Nor aware of gain.”
Saber came down with his swing but Rin was able to dodge.
“Withstood pain to create weapons, waiting for one’s arrival.”
Rin fired more magic infused jewels at Saber but to no avail.
“I have no regrets. This is the only path.
Rin had fallen to her knees shaking in fear.
My whole life was “Unlimited Blade Works”.
In the blink of an eye Saber was impaled by many different Noble Phantasms. Stabbed in every direction. “AHHHHHHHHHHH” The servant bellowed in agony. The servant fell to the ground and soon disappeared. Rin was in shock for a moment. Currently there should only be two people who could use that kind of attack. Gilgamesh and her own servant Archer. However Archer had been badly wounded and Gilgamesh was a ruthless killer who wouldn’t have any reason to help them. But if neither of them had initiated the attack who could it be.
The twisted master had escaped in the mix of the confusion and Rin remained on the ground. “Are you ok Tohsaka-san?” A man walked out of the woods near the church and walked over to Rin. Archer watched from where he was attacked. The man didn’t seem dangerous. However, even though they had never met he seemed to have a familiar aura around him. The man had extended his hand to help Tohsaka up. The sight of his smile nearly made Rin’s mind turn to mush. “E-e-e-e-emiya-kun……..”
The ritual known as Heavens Feel, a ceremony designed for the purpose of reaching the Root. The three families each contributed their part of the ritual and made it into what it is today, though it has long since stopped being what it was once intended to be. Only one family still uses the ritual for its intended purpose, the Tohsaka's, while the other two simply wish for the resurrection of the third sorcery.
