They all watched Shirou Amakusa step out of the Greater Grail. His hair had gotten longer and his clothes resembled that of a rebel "Of course." Rin said "What?" Shirou asked "He is THE Shirou Tokisada Amakusa. He led the Shinmabara Rebellion, it was a revolt against the Shogunate. I had my suspicions but this and Ruler proved them right. He was executed at 17 and his head put on display as a warning to the Christians. That maybe understands his motive." "You are quite right Rin Tohsaka." Amakusa said as he stepped down the spectral stairs, a his side rested a Japanese katana "The war, the massacre I witnessed. It is the very reason I wish for humanity's salvation." "Humanity doesn't need salvation just handed to them." Shirou followed "On the contrary Shirou Emiya. That is exactly what it needs. And I, Shirou Tokisada Amakusa will rule over them." "You really are crazy." Rin said "I cannot allow you to proceed any further with you plan. Shirou Amakusa." Ruler stepped forward "If you stand in my way then you are my enemy. The Third Magic is already active. You've lost already." "Gilles, my flag." Ruler handed Gilles her flag "Of course Jeanne." He accepted the flag, Shirou Amakusa rose his sword and three giant monsters rose from the ground, everyone watched as the monsters approached them, Ruler materialized her sword. Out of curiosity, Shirou traced the sword and learned her Noble Phantasm's True Nature, his eyes widened and stopped her before you could draw "What are you doing?" She asked "I'm not letting you throw your life away. Please take Rin and get her out of here." "What?" Ruler looked confused "You idiot! You think I'm gonna leave you here when you just came back to me?" Rin grabbed Shirou's arm "It's alright. I'll be fine." Shirou rested his hand on hers "I'll stay also." Sieg said "No, you cannot!" Ruler said and Sieg shook his head "My life is all but spent as it is." Sieg said and brought up his hand, it was fading to black "You're becoming a dragon kin?" Rin asked and Sieg nodded "I will be alright Ruler." Sieg said and Ruler backed down "Saber." Shirou turned to Saber "Go with them. Make sure you get Rin out safe." He told her "No, I will stay here with you." "Saber, please." Shirou said and Saber sighed "Very well." Saber said "We're leaving this to you." Ruler said and Shirou nodded, he reached into his pocket and grabbed the pendant and placed it around Rin's neck "I'll come back. Until then keep this safe for me." Shirou said and Rin nodded "I won't forgive you if you die." She says and they begin to leave. The monsters began to shoot beams at them "Go!" Shirou put up his arm.
I am the bone of my sword
"Rho Aias!" The spectral flower bloomed, the shields manifested one by one. The beams collided with the shield, Shirou reinforced it to make it stronger, he brought his free hand up and began to trace "I need a weapon. One that'll take them out." Shirou thought and then a red spear blinked across his mind, a familiar face held that spear and Shirou smiled "Trace... ON!" The spear began to take shape, the crimson lance shined in the light of the Aias, it fell into Shirou's hand completed "Alright." He said and closed his eyes, focusing his Magic Circuits into the spear, the spear hardened and surged with power, red lightning crackled around it. In an instant Shirou let go of the Aias, the combined beams raced forward and Shirou got ready to throw as the spear began to eminate a crimson light "Gae Bulg!" Shirou threw the spear and it piereced through the blasts and raced towards the monsters, the shockwave caused the blasts to dissipate. Once it hit the middle monster the area exploded in crimson light. The shockwave sent Shirou and Sieg flying backwards.

From outside the ground shook causing Rin and the others to turn around "Shirou." Rin whispered "Let's go." Ruler said "Wait." Rin spoke up and everyone came to a stop "What is it." Saber asked "Ruler. I have a favor I'd like to ask." "What is it?" "I want to summon a Servant of my own." She said "But you-" "I was a Master, in the Holy Grail War two years ago. From what I can sense. Both Archers are already gone. So I'd like to summon an Archer of my own." "Rin, you don't mean him do you?" Saber asked and Rin nodded "He'll help. I know it."

Shirou and Sieg began to recover, across from them stood Shirou Amakusa and Assassin of Red, who was badly injured "Saber of Red did a number on you." Amakusa said "That doesn't matter. What do we do with these two." "Shirou. I'll take on Shirou Amakusa, you take on Assassin." Sieg said and drew his sword "Are you sure?" Shirou asked and brushed off his clothes "Yes." Sieg readied his sword "Alright. Trace on." Shirou materialized his two swords "A homunculus and a failure of a mage. How pathetic." "Do not underestimate them Sermiramis." Amakusa said and drew his katana "Your efforts are futile." Shirou Amakusa said "Even if they are it doesn't matter." "We'll keep fighting." "Because we have people to protect!" Sieg and Shirou shouted in unison. Assassin conjured up her spectral chains and launched them forward, Shirou parried them and launched forward. He manuvered his way around the chains as they attempted to follow him, Shirou got in close ready to strike but Assassin was ahead of him. She dispersed a green smoke "Poison." Shirou thought and traced on a gas mask inside the smoke "I can use this to my advantage." Shirou thought "That was too easy." Assassin said but spoke a little too soon, Kansho and Bakuya flew from the smoke towards her "What?" She exclaimed and deflected them, they flew behind her then arched around, Shirou leaped from the smoke with a bow. The arrow notched onto the bow was no arrow, the head was spiral down to the hilt, it almost mimiced Excalibur, red energy pulsated off of it as Shirou pulled it "Caladbolg!" Shirou yelled and let the sword loose. Red lightning followed the sword as it sailed towards Assassin "Impossible!" Assassin yelled as the sword hit the ground in front of her. Like Gae Bolg, the area around the sword exploded in red light, only the shockwave wasn't as intense. Shirou landed and watched as the light faded away "You're right. Too easy." Shirou said and turned to watch Sieg and Shirou Amakusa. Amakusa had stabbed Sieg through thr chest "Sieg!" Shirou began to rush forward but stopped once Sieg began to move, he grabbed Amakusa by his kamono and green electricity crackled off him, they exploded into a green light that formed a giant tree "Woah." Shirou said. The tree exploded and sent Shirou backwards. Shirou recovered immediately and waved away the smoke "Sieg!" Shirou yelled, the smoke cleared and Sieg stood there, his clothes were in tatters and his left arm had grown scales "I'm alright. For now." He said and turned to the Greater Grail "We need a way to stop the Third Magic." Sieg said "There's no need. The Third Magic was never in effect." A voice echoed, the two turned to see a man with long black hair wearing a formal white suit with gold trim "Darnic Preston Yggdmillennia." Sieg whispered
