Kiritsugu's Hopeless Wish

"So you want to form an alliance? Why?" Kiritsugu asked looking towards Ezra with his stone-cold demeanor. Currently, Ezra and Kritsugu were sitting in the main conference room. Kariya meanwhile, was in a guest room taking care of Sakura. Irisviel and Saber were with Maiya, as they were making sure she was alright. Berserker currently stood outside far away from Saber, so he doesn't go mental.

As Kiritsugu stared at Ezra his mind was racing at an incredible pace. In his mind, many questions started to form about the believably of Ezra's claims in the past and what his true motives were. Ezra in Kiritsugu's eyes was an odd anomaly. Even as a servent, he seems more in charge than his master. There was also the fact he's one extra servent that shouldn't exist. Even his story about being from the future was highly suspect. As his mind tried to piece together all the clues, Ezra begone to speak saying, "It's pretty simple, My Master, Kayira only participated in this war to save that little girl you saw earlier. Now that she's safe, he has no reason to participate in the war. So considering your working for the Einzberns' and I am an Einzben. I thought, why not join you and help my family."

Kiritsugu, for the most part, got the reasoning behind Ezra's logic. But, something in the back of his mind told him to be careful around Ezra. Wanting to get more of a confirmation, Kiritsugu asked. "How can I be sure you're not going to betray us when you get an opportunity?" giving out a sign, Ezra started to think. "hmm, I know, I will transfer my comment seals over to Irisviel." Kiritsugu at this point was somewhat taken back, he never expected him to give up his command seals. The most he expected was Ezra to from a temporary contract between masters. Taking a deep breath, Kiritsugu regained his composer as he replied "Sounds acceptable, I will call Irisviel here so you can transfer them" he says getting up from the chair, as he was about to leave the room. Ezra calls out to him, "before you leave, I need to tell you something."

Turning his attention, Kiritsugu looked towards Ezra, "What is that?" Meeting his glare, Ezra looked at him with a series expression. "Give up on the grail, it can't grant your wish. Its destruction is the only way of saving his world." Slamming close the door he opened, Kiritsugu glared at Ezra so telling him to give up on his ideals. "What!" he said in a louder tone, "I shouldn't necessarily tell you this, but the grails broke. Any wish it grants can only be achieved through the method the person knows. if you wished for peace, the grail will only grant it through the method you kno....." Kiritsugu slams his hand down on the table interruption Ezra. His eyes filled with confusion and anger, "Are you saying my wish is hopeless, that not even a miracle can make it happen" "Yes, The only method that you knew is to sacrifice/kill the small number who are causing problems to others and thereby let the larger population survive. Obviously, that doesn't work all the time especially looking at the way people change. the Grail understands, so in its calculation, the only way to bring peace is to kill everything. So nothing is alive to disturb the peace."

Kitsune couldn't comprehend was Ezra said. he only sought out the grail to make his dreams come true, but know. he's just told his way of thinking and ideas where wrong. how could he accept this, everything he fought for up until know was useless. All the sacrifices he has made were pointless. falling over onto his knees, he simply started tearing up. Even though he didn't know anything about Ezra, that he told him now. he could tell he wasn't lying. "I'm asking you, give up on your wish. Instead of trying to chase after a hopeless ideal. Spend your remaining life with your wife and child. You deserve a peaceful life, even if you don't believe it yourself." Ezra says, getting up from his seat. giving out a sigh, he steps out of the room giving Kiritsugu time to think.

Walking through the hallway, Ezra simply yawned as he rubbed his eyes. he honestly hasn't slept in days, even if he's a servent. His body is still used to being human, his mind isn't very used to being active for days. Thinking back, a small smirk formed on his face as he starts remembering the time he was alive. As he stayed up late in the night with his friends, playing games and watching movies. He never really had many friends, but those he had where honestly like family. As more memories started to uncover themselves, his eyes slowly started to tear up. "Are you alright Ezra?" As the voice reached his ears, his attention got pulled back into reality. looking behind him, he started wiping the tears from his face. "oh yeah, I'm fine" he said cracking a smile to mask his previews emotions. Looking at Saber, he started to bring back his composer asking "need something king of knights." not wanting to push Ezra with questions about his look from before. "I just wanted to thank you." she says as she tilts her head down, "as Irisviel's knight, I was unable to protect her," she said in a self-disappointment manner.

Ezra just gives out a sigh at her display, "Don't beat yourself up for what happened, you are a single knight. you can't be everywhere and do everything. You are as human-like anyone of use. Even a king isn't perfect and everyone makes mistakes." he says patting her head, "Berserker is honestly a perfect example," Looking up, Saber started pounding what Ezra just said. Everything he said wants against what she was taught when becoming king. Everything she did was to be a perfect king to her people, but she failed, instead only brought chaos to Britain. from her ineptitude Mordred caused a rebellion, and Lancelot betrayed her. In the end, it was all her fault, she never blamed anyone but herself.

Flicking her on her forehead, Ezra nocked her out of her trance of self-blame. "Earth to Saber, you back yet," he said jokingly trying to bring her attention back to there conversation. "Oh, I'm sorry. I was thinking about what you said." She said in an apologetic tone, but before they could continue talking. a loud rouble started to erupt from the front entrance. Turning their attention away, both of them rocketed forward sprinting towards the front. Within seconds, they appear on the top balcony looking over towards the entrance. soon, Irisviel arrived behind them. As the three looked down towards the massive hole in the entrance. A chariot starts rolling in pulled by two bulls, stand on top, was Iskandar and Waver. "HELLO, King of knights!" he yells with a joyful grin on his face. "Rider, for what purpose are you doing here!" Saber yelled back. Iskandar just looked confused saying "well isn't it obvious." he then proceeded to lift a large Barral. "To drink of course! say does this castle contain a courtyard we can start our mighty banquet?" "oh yeah, there is, not too far down actually" Ezra commented, since both saber and Irisviel were just taken back by Iskander's Request. "Perfect, let us go and start our banquet!" He yelled in excitedly following with waver close behind.
