Shirou was pacing back and forth while Angelica was sitting watching over miyu who was comforting a crying Illya who had just lost her sister.

Shirou grits his teeth thinking what he can do he's at a loss for options he sits at the table placing his hands in his hands"no no no this can't happen she was way to young to Even be fighting a war like this and now she's gone Shirou mumbled while scratching his head in agitation.

Angelica breaks her silence"i heard something from Master before about a god who holds power over spirits and all.... you might be able to contact them and make a deal somehow"she says sipping some tea with her usual blank face.

Shirou looks at her before looking at the red puffy eyed illya and the miyu who seems conflicted on what to do"... this God or whatever... what is there name"shirou asked looking at Angelica
.
.
.

"Her Name is Alaya"

Shirou felt as if he knew this name somehow but shook it off"do you know how we can Contact them"he asked

Angelica thought about it before shaking her head"i think all you can do is pray."she says

Shirou looks down at his feet and nods"Alright"he says before making his way to the roof to get some fresh air.

Shirou looks up at the snowing sky his eyes that were once bright and full of hope and joy for the world were now dull and void like that of his late father Kiritsugu.

Emiya closed his eyes and took a deep breath"oh God who hold the power for spirits alaya I wish to make a deal with you"he calmly says.

Alaya found this interesting since she dealt with many variations of Shirou emiya but this one he was different he gave up the dream he had being a hero of justice, putting his world on the line for his sister.

Alaya connects to shirous mind"hello there young man I couldn't help but notice you wished to make a deal"said a voice

Shirous head immediate darts around before realizing there was nobody here but him"i uhm... is this Alaya?"he timidly asked

"Yes my child and I know what you have called me for, you wish to give yourself up in place of that einsbern clone girl am I right?"they asked

Shirou seemed shocked but nodded"yes she didn't deserve this she was to young"he says

"Then you will lose your humanity and the einzbern will gain it becoming a real girl you understand"

Shirou closed his eyes thinking for a moment"yes I understand I'm fine with this..."He says lookin at the ground

Alaya smiles shed encountered many Shirou Emiya but this one seemed different from the usual Archer or alter counterpart he strayed away from the hero of justice path.

"Actually... on second thought I'll change it up I'll bring her back as a real girl if you become a counter gaurdian I've been needing a new one for a mission that the others couldn't seem to handle"she says.

Shirou looks up raising an eyebrow"what type of mission?"he asked.

"A double sided Grail War something happened and more than 7 Servants were summoned I will send you there to even out the numbers of course you will receive your powers back and a large sum of mana to aid you"she hummed.

Shirou thought about it for a moment was he really about to leave one Grail War for another, and then images of miyu and illya flood his head"Heh... alright fine I'll do your mission"he mumbled.

"Perfect!"Alaya said with a clap as shirous body began glowing and he was put in his Archer clothing and in a small pouch he held the other class cards.

Shirou seemed surprised"what but why the other class cards?"he asked confused.

"Think of it like a helping hand instead of installing them you will simply summon them for a short time but I'll warn you they aren't the spirits you know"she says

Shirou places time cards back"Hm alright I'm ready I guess"he says.

The door to the roof flew open and miyu steps out huffing heavily catching her breath"oneechan what are you doing!?"she yelled

Shirou freezes up for a moment but looks back at her with a smile but his eyes held sadness"something that is necessary... but don't worry miyu we will see each other again"he said to the young crying girl as his body began fading away into spirit form being taken away by alaya and in his place dropped the body of kuro einzbern with the curse crest being replaced by a mage crest.
