"The truth is right in front of you and yet you choose to ignore it," Kirie said with his hand scuffing his hair.
Before Shiro could utter a word, Saber interrupted with a question of her own and didn't bother waiting to ask.
"How much do you know about this holy Grail?" She asked.
Kirie switched his focus to Saber, "You also know nothing about this holy grail? I must say I'm disappointed, didn't expect this from the king of knights"
Saber glared at him but she didn't make any move that would hint she wanted to start a fight.
Kirie sighed before taking a few steps back, "I'll make this clear and simple, this holy grail does not sacrifice servants, masters are the ones that are sacrificed, I'm surprised no one knew about this" Kirie voiced out.
Saber was stunned since she was the only one of Shiro's servants that still remembers all her previous summonings.
Saber never made it to the throne of heroes hence the reason why she was still trapped in a forever circle of holy Grail battles.
Unlike the rest of the servants who were just mere clones of the real heroes, Saber herself was the real deal.
"What nonsense are you saying?" Saber asked.
They all skimmed at her in confusion, wondering why Saber would question what Kirie just said.
"Do you know something we don't, Saber?" Gilgamesh asked.
"Oh, I see now…" Shinji, who was standing beside Frank voiced out, "You had an idea of your own, didn't you?" He asked.
Frank immediately used her hands to cover Shinji's mouth, "You shouldn't speak damn it" She whispered.
Shiro suddenly caught sight of something, some of the people he had thought were servants were actually masters.
And standing a bit far away from him was Kooya, 'The hell is going on here?' Shiro thought to himself before looking at Kirie.
Kirie sighed before twisting to Shinji, "I thought I told you not to say anything until I was done".
"Look, I get you want to be all secretive and all that but I have something to say to that punk there?" Shinji yelled.
'How did I not see this the first time? Dad is here too? And who's that?' Questions kept popping up in Shiro's head.
"Be careful" Rider whispered to Shiro, "A spell just broke, whatever you do, don't act rash".
"Spell?" Shiro asked.
"Shiro!"
Kirie called out, "I'm going to ask you again, will you join me?" He asked.
Shiro looked around and saw that the servants were moving closer but that didn't seem to phase him.
He looked Kirie in the eyes, "I already said no, I could say it in Spanish too if you want… NO!".
At this point, Kirie was getting frustrated but he tried his hardest to keep it in, "You foolish wanna-" He suddenly stopped.
He pinched the tip of his nose before letting out a sigh, "Head to the warehouse," Kirie ordered Shinji, "And I want you to follow him to Kooya".
"Warehouse? Why do I have to be the one"
"Go.." Kirie instructed again.
Shinji groaned before vanishing with his servant Frank while Kooya were lost to sight with Shakespeare.
Once that was settled, Kirie began to walk away but before he left he muttered.
"Make sure to take care of his servant, but Shiro must be brought to me alive".
"As you wish," Morgana replied, Kirie then smiled before walking away.
"If Masters are the sacrifice then Shiro isn't safe here" Saber voiced out.
Rider grabbed Shiro's hand and was about to dematerialize, "Don't worry we'll get you out of here first,-"
Shiro pulled his hand away from Rider's grip, "like hell!" He yelled.
He whooshed out of the barrier and charged toward Kirie at full speed, dodging three of the servants in front of him.
"Shiro!"
Saber yelled, she moved out of the barrier only for her path to be blocked by Karna, a lancer servant that belonged to Rachel of the black faction.
All of Shiro's servants were surrounded by these Servants, blocking them from advancing toward Shiro.
Gilgamesh flew to the sky to catch up with Shiro and instead met Goldy levitating in front of her.
"We finally meet again," Goldy uttered.
Gilgamesh smiled with her hands on her waist, "What? You came here for another beating?" She asked.
"Don't get a swollen head over one lucky win!" Goldy summoned his lance and took a battle position.
"You never learn do you?" Gilgamesh sighed before multiple golden portals showed on her two sides.
Meanwhile, Shiro had already caught up to Kirie, he drove his body straight into Kirie's back causing them to crash on the ground.
Shiro stood up from the ground before Kirie, "What are you doing with my father?"He asked.
"Give it a rest already" Kirie grunted before standing on his feet, "Father never cared, you fool!".
"Father?" Shiro questioned.
"You had a choice, I wanted to saved you but you are just too stupid to realize that!" Kirie yelled.
"Save me? The hell are you talking about, I know about every damn thing you did, from the orphanage to the black scouts everything was your doing!" Shiro yelled.
Kirie sighed, "If words won't get through to your head" Kirie began pulling his top off.
Once he was done he tossed it to the side, "Then I'll beat it right into you" He uttered.
Kirie's body tattoos began to glow, he dashed toward Shiro sending a forceful punch that was accompanied by his speed.
Shiro blocked the punch with his arm and sent a punch of his own that Kirie blocked using his knees.
Shiro wanted to leap back but Kirie caught his leg and slammed him to the ground while Shiro let out a groan.
The ground shattered and Shiro was covered in dust from the impact that was made.
"I heard you never lost a match during the selection, this can't be all you've got" Kirie uttered.
Three fast-moving knives rushed out of the dust and headed straight for Kirie, although Kirie was able to block the two knives, the last one still stabbed his shoulder.
'Did he just make these?' Kirie thought to himself before pulling the knife from his left shoulder.
Shiro walked slowly out of the dust and on his right hand was a flaming sword, "Who said I was done? I'm just getting started".
Kirie looked at the flaming sword for a bit before opening his palm, "Alter!".
A copy of the sword Shiro was holding appeared in Kirie's hand, "Wouldn't be a fair fight if I didn't have one,".
'He copied my blade?... I knew this guy was a villain' Shiro grinned, "So you copy uhh? Can't say I'm surprised".
"You should be, I'm about to kick your ass with your own creation" Kirie uttered before whooshing toward Shiro.
"Bring it on then,!"Shiro grinned before slashing his blade, letting out a huge surge of fire.
