FATE/Probability

"Still this doesn't mean that I would not help anyone who needs it, I would try my very best to aid someone suffering in front of me as I don't want others to face pain like me. So don't worry Dad, you might have grown up but I am still young so let me carry on and dream for you."

"Well I might not be able to achieve grand goals like you but my 1st aim is to unite our family. Don't you think that trying to take away sorrow and pain should begin with those close to you, like your friends and family?"

Shirou`s face slowly morphed into a brilliant smile filled with passion which dazzled the worn heart of the man. Pondering over the words he smiled a little as he digested them and then rubbed his son`s hair slowly and said 

"You might succeed where this old man failed, this path could prove to be the correct one wherein my path was deemed as a failure and a road to ruins."

"So shirou fight on! And prove me wrong. May you succeed in your journey, and remember me as a warning of falling to the path that shouldn't be taken.>

Kiritsugu`s hand slowly slid down from the boy`s head and rested on the polished wooden floor. Shirou immersed himself in the warm emotion for an instant and enjoyed this comfortable breeze and beautiful scenery in the cozy company. He felt his father`s breathing calm down and assumed that he was going to sleep until it abruptly stopped.

Suddenly Shirou's mind paused in shock and he opened his circuits just to verify but that was all just denial as he could clearly feel his father kiritsugu Emiya`s heart was not beating. Magical energy just confirmed the truth, the man was dead Kiritsugu Emiya the magus killer, the winner of the holy grail war and a defeated man had taken his final breath and that too with a smile.

The boy looked at the corpse and the potent cocktail of emotions ranging from, grief, rage, betrayal, disbelief, understanding, pity, sympathy, relief, sorrow, etc left him frozen in the spot as drop-by-drop tears slid down his cheeks. He sat there stunned like a statue for who knows how long until his eyes suddenly lost light and he fell asleep.

Normally, this would have kept him awake all night easily, but he fell asleep as if a supernatural force was driving him to the embrace of unconsciousness. It was proven true when shirou didn't fall into the comfortable darkness but rather awakened in the familiar swirl of colours. He didn't look around himself in his state of mind still trapped in his own mind. This led to him to missing the turbulence in the world around him, the world was not a void anymore as the colours of burning fire were spreading over the horizon.

Time passed and he was whisked away from the transforming void of his soul space and in the swirl of rainbow of colours, he was thrown into the body of his future self. this broke the boy out of his stupor as his future self's body brought change to his emotions. He looked around and took in his surroundings. He finds that he and adult Rin are walking on the road in the dead of night. The surroundings sent alarm bells ringing in his mind as the hairs on his body stood up. This was the same surroundings where he was attacked by the giant servant and his sister.

Mentally preparing himself he watched his future self move without a care for the surroundings and no sense of danger. As he lamented the lack of training this version of him exhibited not knowing that it was his dear father who had sabotaged him, the shadows moved and Rin pushed him behind her. Saber blurred past them and her invisible sword blocked a giant stone sword that looked like a club. As he had expected Iliya and Berserker did attack them.

Sabre fought Berserker but was being suppressed and thrown around like a ragdoll. It didn't look like she could win against this monster as her body had already suffered wounds. In his mind, the broken and battered figure coincided with the figure of the king of knights that was slaying wyrens like they were made up of paper. 

He couldn't understand how she was being pushed around like this when she was supposed to be a dragon-given flesh. As the fight went on shirou remembered the information he collected from the visions over the past months. He had heard it from the sage Merlin himself what artoria was, she was the incarnation of the red dragon. Conceptually she was a dragon one of the highest-ranked phantasmal species, who are considered nature-given forms. Her body was an artificial one made by Merlin, it was a homunculus as a normal human body can't tolerate being born as a dragon as it would be like shoving the soul of a dragon in a mortal.

She had the core in her heart instead of channels for mana like other humans, she was a walking magical furnace a reactor that constantly produced mana in a totally different way from modern-day magus who converted od to magical energy. Within this confusion, he saw Saber badly losing the battle and was thrown onto the wall as blood leaked from the webbing of her fingers.

"Tohsaka, this way…!" 

Said his future self as he pulled the confused as well as nervous Rin`s hand and started running. Looking at this action the emotionally unstable boy screamed 

In his state of confusion, chances of it being a tactical retreat or being bait were thrown out of the window. He only interpreted this as letting Saber to die and running away, as he calmed down a little he found no magecraft was activated on his body so he thought it might be a decoy strategy as he had the beige that even the worse version of him would use reinforcement when running away.

As they ran he felt Rin`s hand slip away from him as she pulled herself away from him and juped towards his defenceless back as if covering it with her body and said 

"Hey you can't turn your back to him–"

His future self had the audacity to emit a confused "huh?" as he watched the giant sword pierced through her chest. The sword was as thick as a club so he understood that her heart, lungs and liver were bisected and her spleen was ruptured which meant instant death.

As his body called her name shirou was pulled out of the shock by her voice. She coughed up blood and turning her head up in wishful wonder she said 

"gods—-what was I doing?"

Looking into her eyes he understood that she likely knew this was useless from the start and even then she did this for the dead weight that he calls himself. She said 

"Run to the church. Go to Kirei." 

As this line echoed the servant swung his sword and threw her body away like it was trash. Looking at this all the emotions rushing through him calmed down, in his life, he was close to 3 people and out of them he had seen 2 of them die back to back. As his body ran away driven by survival instincts his mind closed itself, he knew the results before the chase began and confirming his thoughts the little menace said 

"Oh, he ran aways. Heeeeee how~ cute onii-chan~ you think you can run away from bersker?"

As the strom razed inside his mind the back of his head was hit by a unch from the gain and as if hit by a sledge hammer his body was thrown forward with a broken back and cracked skull and unable to breath due to shredded lungs.Looking at this the little girl huffed at the servant

"Geez, you're useless…! I told you not to kill him easily, but you can't even do that simple thing…!? You good-for-nothing, I'll kill you to your last one if you disobey my orders again…!"

As he withered on the ground he was found by the girl who exclaimed in a glee 

"Huh…? He's alive…? He's still alive even though he was thrown all the way over here…?"

Looking at him from the top the doll like sister of his said with an angelic smile 

"I see, You're alive. Onii-chan~ You can't use any magic, but I guess there was still a reason you were chosen as a Master."

"Good. There'd be no point in me coming to Japan if it wasn't for this"
