Chapter One: Archer Class Card -Include!

Shirou POV

It was a just another Monday I had woken up an hour early to cook breakfast before Sella could "morning big brother" came the tired voice of my little sister with a smile I turned "morning Illya did you have a good sleep?" I asked absentmindedly placing the last egg omelet and placing it in front of her.

Illya nodded "yeah it was good until Sella had to wake me up from it," she moaned in anguish taking small bites from the omelet.

Sella and Liz of course came to the dining table a couple of minutes later "...morning Shirou," Liz greeted taking a seat next to Illya while Sella glared placing her hands onto her hips "mou Shirou what did I tell you about cooking on the weekday's you know those are day's when I cook," she said with a tone of indignation.

I shrug with a smirk "well you know what they say Sella first come first serve," Sella turns beet red with anger until Liz sighs "just let it go Sella getting angry about it won't do you any good.." she commented before going back to her breakfast.

Sella sighs very reluctantly and took a seat making me smile I had won this time "alright then I'll see you all when I get back from school," I announced swinging my bag over my shoulder "be sure to watch the street both way's before you cross the street!" came the quick reply of Sella which caused my eye to twitch.

"I am not five years old Sella you don't need to keep telling me to watch the streets or watch out for strange men!" I shouted before closing the door.

First class of the day started at eight so I should be able to make it to school with a good couple of minutes to spare.

"Good morning senpai!" came the voice of my kouhai Sakura I turned around greeting her back with a smile "morning Sakura how are you doing?" I asked as we walked alongside each other.

She simply smiled "I am fine how about you senpai?" she replied, "Ah well I am feeling okay today tad bit annoyed with Sella but you know how it is with her," I reply back with an annoyed tone.

Sakura giggles a bit at that "hehehe maybe you shouldn't be stealing the kitchen from her when you know it's her turn to cook," she retorted I turned giving her a mock glare "just who's side are you on Sakura?" I questioned.

"Oh, you know I am only just teasing you senpai don't take what I say so seriously," she replied gently dabbing my shoulder "anyways I wanted to ask if you were going to do anything after school?" she continued.

I shake my head "unfortunately not your brother forgot to clean up and restring the archery club's bows why are you asking anyway?" I asked.

She bowed her head a bit "I see...well I just wanted to see if you wanted to hang out later that's all?" she meekly replied which made me feel bad.

"....if you want, we can hang out tomorrow since it's Saturday?" I offered which seemed to have done the trick as she perked her head up with a smile "really?" she asked with a bit of hope I nod "of course what kind of friend would I be if I lied" I replied with a wide smile.

Our conversation came to end when we finally arrived "well I guess I'll see you tomorrow Sakura," I said as Sakura bowed her heard "of course see you tomorrow senpai!" she replied before hurrying off to her class while I went to mine.

The day soon passed by quick, as it always did the blue skies of the morning vanished into the red of the afternoon. The school's bell rang several times causing students to pack away their things and begin walking home.

I was packing my things away when I heard someone coming behind me I looked up "oh hey what's up Issei," I greeted the monk in training.

The other boy nodded his head "Emiya," he greeted back before continuing "so are you heading home now?" he asked I shake my head "nah I have to stay back and fix the bows for the Archery club Shinji was supposed to do it, but you know him," I reply with a sigh at the end.

"That guy again seriously your just too nice for your own good Emiya you should really say no to him next time let him do some actual work for once," Issei said with a frown of distaste on his face.

"Yeah, well how can I say no to a friend in need much less to a person that doesn't even know how to restring their bow correctly," I said swinging my bag over onto shoulder "that I can't deny from what the rumor's say Shinji has supposedly costed the club quite a lot of bows not to mention the heater that he also broke during his tantrum fight with Ayako," he replied as we walked out of the classroom.

I chuckle "truly that heater was the real victim of that fight," I replied back as we left the school building "anyways I'll see you later Issei got to get to the club otherwise Mitsuzuri will have my head," I said bidding a quick farewell to the other boy.

When I made it to the archery range, I was greeted to the sight of Mitsuzuri dressed in her gear practicing her shots before placing her bow down when she spotted me.

"Hey Emiya, I see you finally made it," she greeted I scratched the back of my head "yup sorry if I was a bit late, I was talking to Issei before I came by," I replied "you know the club could still use you Emiya why don't you come back?" Mitsuzuri asked trying to convince me to join back for the umpteenth time this month.

I sighed placing my bag down "..I just don't really have the passion for it anymore really it was more like a hobby for me nothing really competitive," I said feeling a bit annoyed while grabbing the crates containing the bows.

Mitsuzuri rose a brow "you sure it has nothing do with that seaweed Shinji?" I shake my head "no it has nothing do with him," was my quick response "are you sure-" she tries to reply but I snapped a bit "I am sure! Now if you would just leave me be so that I can fix these bows," she winced back with a look of pain before nodding.

Once she was gone, I sighed feeling guilt "damn it Emiya you and your stupid mouth," I scolded while restringing the bows.

It took me nearly the rest of the day by the time I was done it was already six "I'll apologize to Mitsuzuri first chance I get on Monday," I said out loud to myself.

I walked down my usual route that I take when I needed to get home quickly when something caught my eye a gold and black tarot card on it was the picture of an Archer slowly I walked towards the card looking at it intently.

For some reason when I held the card, I felt complete with it the card grew warm in my grip and before I even realize it the world changed.

I looked left and right completely bewildered "what in the? Where am I?!" I shouted out with panic everything looked practically the same except everything in the world was colored with indigo like colors.

-Swish!!-

I narrowly managed to dodge that attack when I looked up, I am greeted by the sight of a man dressed in some kind of knight like clothing while dual wielding a red and yellow blade.

"Who are you and why are you attacking me I haven't even done anything to you?!" I tried to ask but am ignored as the man charges trying to bisect me.

It was only through sheer dumb luck that I was able to escape from the first few strikes and run for my life just what the hell was going on one moment I was admiring a card the next I find myself here I thought coming to a near stop in a near alleyway.

"I should be safe here right," I said looking around me expecting to be attacked when I looked up my eyes widen "shit!" I cursed stumbling back until I fell flat on my ass the man raises his blade ready to strike me down.

All I could do was desperately close my eyes damn it this isn't fair! I didn't even get a chance to at least say goodbye to mom, dad, Illya, Liz, Sella, Sakura, Issei, or Mitszuri much less even apologize for when I yelled at her.

No, I won't die here I shouted in my mind unknowingly the tarot card in my pocket started glowing before it levitated itself up to my eye level.

Subconsciously my hand grasps the card out mid air I feel an intense burning sensation traveling down from my hands to my spine "Class card-INCLUDE!"

My body is engulfed in a bright light for a few moments I see another man standing upon a bloodied hill of swords with great rusted gears chained together in the sky he looks like he's about to fall apart without the gold lines holding him together the man then turns to me with a glare.

"I am the bone of my sword..." the man whispered but the phrase echoed out through my mind swords begin to pop everywhere underneath me before I find myself back in front of the swordsman that's about to kill me.

My mouth moves "Trace on!" a pair of blades appear in my hand using them I redirected the other man's red blade while giving him a hard kick to the stomach the amount of power I added in the kick generated a large gust of wind.

The man jumps back granting me a moment to inspect myself a black like jacket enveloped my upper torso with gold lines going down the arms, equipped onto my wrists were a pair of silver bands, while my lower waist sported a black and gold schemed cloak along with a pair of pants and steel toed boots the only thing that was left exposed was my chest.

The blades in my grip were a pair of twin black and white swords both were simple blades yet at the same time in my eyes they looked beautiful yet elegant.

"What did that card do to me did it turn me into some kind of cosplayer?" I muttered when I looked back at the man I asked, "you're not going to let me go are you?" the man did not respond only brandishing his differently colored blades.

Moralltach and Beaglltach a pair of swords gifted to the Irish hero Diarmuid Ua Dabine gifted to him by the god of the sea and underworld Manannán my mind informed.

"Wait how did I know that?" I questioned but there was no time to even think as the man begins to charge.

I crossed the two blades together blocking his attack I would have to be careful should he land an attack on me using Moralltach then I am toast I thought gritting my teeth from the pressure behind the man's blade.

Somewhere deep inside of me I knew I could defeat him but the way I am now won't do so if I can't beat him with just these two swords then I'll just use more "Trace on: Bullet Fire!" I chanted shooting a bunch of different blades directly at the other man.

The man had no time to prepare for the sudden barrage of swords and there was no way I was going to let him recover.

Swinging both of the married blades in my hand I threw them before tracing another pair hoping that the blades combined with the one's I threw would do something, but the man dug his feet into the ground using only his own blades to cut down each of the one's I launched at him.

"Damn bastard doesn't know when to quit," I cursed as I rushed forward colliding blades together Kanshou shatters, but another takes its place I spun around spin thrusting Bakuya forward into the only opening I could reach.

The blade went right through his abdomen but he still stood kicking me back with great strength I flew in the air dismissing the blades in my hands instead a blue print for a bow appeared in my mind.

An arrow belonging to a knight appeared in my hand slipping it into the bow I pulled back before releasing it unleashing a hail of crimson arrows.

Thankfully a couple of them landed across his body mainly his torso blood leaked down the man's lips as he stared me down with hatred in his eyes.

Dismissing the bow I walked a bit closer while summoning the twin blades back into my grasps and threw them forward Kanshou would rip apart his throat while Bakuya would tear his stomach in half.

The man took Beagalltach slashing the twin blades apart "tch persisten aren't ya," I commented spreading my arms apart my hands began to glow electric blue.

"Trace Alter!" I chanted feeling my arms burn even more still I continued the process of trying to create no not create alter I realize seeing the new weapons within my hands.

The married blades had been transformed into a pair of guns the sight for some reason sparked a sense of nostalgia in me looking back at the man who had removed the arrows from his chest I brought the Kanshou gun up.

My mind focuses on the world of blades that I saw the other man standing on

"I am the bone of my sword tch-" I grunted at the chant th-this wasn't mine this was his world if i kept using it then I would be invaded by him...but who is him? I questioned gritting my teeth together.

Swords begin to grow out of my body I screamed but even, so I continued maintaining the image of that world "s-so a-as I pray unlimited lo-lost works!" I chanted through the pain the bullet was formed and loaded into the gun using the little amount of strength I had left I fired it right at him.

His swords continued to invade my body until they retracted themselves, I gasped releasing a small puddle of blood from my mouth.

When I looked up it was to the sight of the swordsmen himself being pierced by a combustion of blades until he exploded the last thing I saw in the man's eyes was my own reflection a cold blankness expression like that of steel.

I felt startled seeing my face looking like that but then the world started collapsing in on its own taking me back to the real world.

My clothes returned back to normal with the Archer card back in my hand while on the ground laid a Saber tarot card "no way another card," I muttered to myself.

I picked up the card with a wince noticing the slight blood stains that leaked through from the arm sleeves of my uniform I remembered it was because of having that man's world invading me.

I shivered a bit with fear just...just what in the hell did I go through and who is the man in the Archer card I thought to myself.

My mind of course chose this moment to remind me that I needed to get home "shit..I really hope I am not late otherwise Sella won't let me hear the end of it," I muttered I could only hope that I could make a good excuse as to why I was bleeding out from my arms.
