"Did you remember your Mother? Lady Iri. You really like her."
—"What are you saying?"
"She's a stubborn woman like you. She didn't listen to me. She's always acting tough even she's weak inside. She is soft hearted person I ever met. She deeply cares about the innocent people than I do."
Saber turns her face towards Illya.
"Same goes to your Father...
He is most complex person I can't define. To attain his goal, he killed his opponents. But inside, I know he done that thing to save people that he loves. Not thinking of the sacrifices he had to take.
I understand now... Your Father thought of you. To save you."
—"But he didn't keep his promises. He left me."
"Maybe he did. But you knew that he loves you. Master Shirou was the proof of that. He never leave you. Because he wanted to fulfill his Father's wish."
At the Storage room...
Shirou Emiya took his Night repairing the broken Equipment given to him by Issei. He uses Magecraft to detect the defects of the Equipment.
"This can't be done."
He noticed that the thing has no potential for repairs. But, he don't want to lose the trust of a friend.
"The circuits is completely done. If I am just a regular Technician, It's hopeless..."
He took out all the broken circuits and examined it.
"Trace On."
By touching the equipment, He cast a spell "Trace On" and projected a copy of a fixed broken circuits.
"This might be okay."
He drops the equipment on the floor.
Closing his eyes, Shirou felt someone entering.
"Ohaiyoo, Senpai."
He turned around and found out a bloody Sakura.
Suddenly, Sakura fell down unconscious. As fast as he could, Shirou caught Sakura in his Arms.
"What happened?"
He called out Saber who is with Illya.
"Saber, I need your help."
Saber teleported to him. She saw a bloody Girl on Shirou's Arms.
"Who is she Master?"
Meanwhile at her room, Illyasveil stood up and rushed her way towards where Shirou is after sensing an Aura of a Magus.
Suddenly, she entered the Storehouse after Saber.
"Shirou. There's..."
She doesn't continue what she is about to say after seeing a girl on Shirou's arms.
"Who is she?"
"Saber, could you heal her?"
Illya steps forward.
"I could."
"Don't worry, I can heal her in just seconds."
She sat on the floor and reach Sakura's hand.
"She's just exhausted, There are scratches on her body. Nonetheless, She's going to be okay."
On the other side...
At the Ryudou Temple.
"Thank you for helping me, Caster."
Exhausted from Battle, Lancer got his knees down on the floor.
"What was that Servant you had fought?"
"I don't know. I just received an order from my Master to take it down."
(Kuzuki) "I witnessed the same monster before on the Previous Grail War. Even I haven't participated that time, I secretly investigate the movements of my Rival Kiritsugu.
There was a Caster Servant took form of a monster after gathering huge amount of Mana from children he slaughtered."
After listening the story of Kuzuki, Caster suddenly reacts.
"Do I have capability of becoming that monster, Master Kuzuki? Do you think of me being like that?"
"No, My lady. You are the prettiest woman I've ever met."
With a smile on her face, She steps a bit closer to Lancer. She touched Lancer's face while taking a knife on her waist and stabbed Lancer with it.
"You!!"
"We need your help Lancer. To fortify our defenses, we need a Servant like you. From now on, You are under my control."
At the Church...
"Lancer betrayed Us."
Sitting at the top of the bench. A Young Blondie said.
"Your Servant sided with another Master. What would you do now?"
The Priest passes through the Blonde man.
"Have you forgotten that I only have a single Servant?
...and that is you, Gilgamesh."
6 a.m of the Morning. Sakura wakes up on Emiya's House.
"Where am I?"
Shirou is busy cooking at the kitchen. Sakura went in.
"Ohaiyoo, Senpai"
"Ohaiyoo, Sakura"
Suddenly, Illyasveil forced the door open. Miss Fujimura caught in surprise and almost drop her soup she eat.
"Shirou, you should get rid of that girl! She's a Master."
"Hey! Watch your manners young lady!
Shirou Emiya came between them.
"Calm down, Nee-san. I'm sorry, Taiga-san for her rude behavior."
Shirou Emiya pushed Illya outside and talk privately.
"What's the matter with you, Nee-san?"
Sakura followed Shirou outside after seeing Illya.
"Your friend is participating the Grail War."
"Actually, I'm no longer participating the Grail War. I forfeited my entry and give way to my brother."
"You're lying."
Illya took Sakura's hand and search for the command seal, but found nothing.
"See! I trust her. Don't think so much."
After recalling Sakura says, that her brother participating the Grail War;
"Shinji joined the War too? You gotta be kidding me, Sakura."
"No, I'm not."
Suddenly, Miss Fujimura caught eavesdropping.
"What's the Grail War?"
Illya cast a magic spell on Miss Taiga to forget everything she heard.
Later on the school...
Shirou encounters Rin Tohsaka after class ended.
"Is Sakura with you?"
"Why are you asking?"
"I just want to know if she's okay. But, don't forget our Battle starts tomorrow."
Suddenly, Shirou and Rin felt a presence of an enemy nearby. All students are falling down on the floor. Rin is trying to follow the source of an Aura. She called Archer to take a look of the culprit. At the 2nd floor, Teacher Kuzuki grab all the unconscious students one by one and put them inside the room. Issei also helped him.
"Uncle, are the Masters responsible of this?"
"The Matous."
At the rooftop, Shirou and Shinji are facing each other.
"Hello, Emiya! I didn't thought of you as a capable Mage to be qualified in this Grail War. Why does ever since we were kids, you always my Rival. This time, I will end our rivalry for sure...
RIDER!!"
A Servant appeared in front of him as he called her name.
Saber then appeared before Shirou.
"Let me now be the one fighting for you, Master."
At the Ground floor, Rin found Illyasveil at the Schoolyard.
"Illyasveil, What are you doing here? Are you responsible of this?"
"No, I came here because of my stupid brother. He's in danger right now.
Something is not right. Many Masters here are present right now."
.....210 years ago...
Fuyuki Grail War began after a young lad encountered a mysterious Old Man that taught him Magecraft by chance.
Nagato Tohsaka...
"Mister, you left your bill!"
The Old man stops, and found a young man chasing him.
"Huh! I'm glad I found you, sir."
"You chase me for this Bill?"
"I doubt, It's might be important for you."
After giving the bill, Nagato diverts his attention towards the luggage of an Old Man.
"Sir, May I?"
"Sure... but you know, it's heavy."
Nagato carried his luggage and accompany him to his destination.
"Mister... Are you going out of the country?"
"Why you said so?"
"Your looks seem you are going abroad with your get up."
"It's not somewhere actually. I am just returning to my home. And it's not that farther from this place."
While walking, environment changes drastically as they entered the forest where the Old Man lives. Before even knowing, Nagato found themselves outside the Big Mansion at the center of the forest.
"Whoah!!"
Nagato were so amazed.
