3 "Team members"

In a desert wasteland you could see a hill full of swords, at the top of the hill you could see the only vegetation that was grass and on it a sword, which with a simple glance you could see that it was a work of art,So perfect that you can't see that it wasn't made by human hands.

Next to the sword could be seen a man wearing a red coat along with black load pants along with combat boots and chest armor of the same color.

The brown-skinned man was tall, since he was 1.87 cm tall, his hair color was a whitish silver, you could see that his eyes were similar in color to his hair, he seemed to look towards the void with a look of tiredness and boredom, but if you looked very well you could see loneliness, sadness and regret deep inside his eyes.

As the man looked into the void, his eyes suddenly shifted from staring to the void to focus on something that it seems he could only see he.

"What is this?"

The man's voice was youthful, perhaps a young adult, although he seemed to have wisdom beyond his age, like a veteran of some conflict that went through hell.

"Is this a joke on Alaya's part?"

The man asked as he looked at what appeared in front of him.

[YOU HAVE BEEN SELECTED TO COMPLY WITH THE DESIRE OF "### $$ #% $ #"% "TO FIX THE INCORRECT IN THE MEGA-VERSE]

A translucent screen was formed in front of the man with the message of what seemed like a joke to the man, as if making fun of him for his past mistakes.

"If this is a way of making tease you of my past actions for choosing your agreement or a form of punishment for trying to correct my mistake, I must say I expected better from you alaya"

The man commented sarcastically as he spoke out loud waiting for a response but after a moment and no response he concentrated again on the screen waiting for some change and the screen did not disappoint him by changing the message.

[THE ENTITY CALLED "ALAYA" HAS BEEN BLOCKED FROM THIS PLAN OF EXISTENCE AND DOES NOT HAVE A VOICE OR VOTE, FOR THE SELECTION OF PERSONNEL WHO "### $$ #% $ #"% ",FIND QUALIFIED TO DO ITS TASKS]

The screen shown the message as an answer to the silver-haired man's not formulated question.

"..."

The man simply looked at the screen after reading the message, even without believing what the screen said, he decided to play along and ask questions regarding this "job offer" that appeared before him.

"Hmmm, let's say I believe you, tell me ¿why me?"

The man asked, waiting for any answer that the screen would give, even though he already expected the answer he would find.

[THE PERSON DESIGNATED "EMIYA SHIROU" MEETS THE REQUIREMENTS THAT THE JOB REQUIRES FOR THE MAXIMUM PERFORMANCE EXPECTED BY THE SELECTED, IN HIS CASE, THE ABILITY TO ADAPT TO DIFFERENT SITUATIONS THAT COULD OCCUR IN THE MISSIONS, IN WHICH COULD BE SELECTED,IT IS VITAL IMPORTANCE FOR THE EXPECTED MAXIMUM PERFORMANCE OF THOSE SELECTED FOR THE JOB]

He finished the screen explaining why the now known as Emiya Shirou was selected for the fulfillment of what could be a more complicated job that he was part of as a counter guardian.

"Hmmm, I see although this could be interesting for anyone hungry for adventure or battle, I am not one of them so it does not interest me in the least, besides that with my current 'employer' I already have enough with superior beings that they want to use me as a tool for their own selfish goals and I would be very foolish if I made the same mistakes that once condemned me to a path of murder and genocide "

Emiya finished saying as he turned his back to the screen and slowly walked away after a few steps he stopped and over his shoulder he saw the screen again with his silver eyes that now instead of bored were full of hatred and fury while commenting.

"AND NEVER CALL ME AGAIN 'EMIYA SHIROU' I AM NOT THAT IMMATURE AND INGENUOUS CHILD, IF YOU CALL ME AGAIN BY THAT NAME, MESSENGER OF GOD OR NOT, I PROMISE THAT I WILL I'M GOING TO ATTACK WITH EVERY WEAPON IN MY ARSENAL TO ERASE YOU"

Emiya said with the greatest hostility possible while every sword, spear, knife, ax ..... etc, in the wasteland vibrated and began to float while pointing where the screen It's located is showing how seriously Emiya spoke.

[I UNDERSTAND 'AGAINST GUARDIAN' I DID NOT UNDERSTAND THAT YOU REPUDED THAT NAME FOR WHICH I APOLOGIZE, AS FOR THE REJECTION OF THE APPLICATION I FEAR THAT IT WILL IT'S NOT POSSIBLE]

I comment on the screen after a moment of witnessing Emiya's actions.

"Hoo, then what will it be, you will force me to accept your 'kind offer', because if so I am afraid that I will have to resist with every ounce of will and power that I have"

Emiya commented after seeing that the screen, this 'messenger' of some god refused to accept his rejection.

Emiya instantly enters a fighting stance while projecting her favorite swords, a pair of swords with a each one a different engraving, the one held by in his right hand was completely black with red hexagonal engravings on its blade, while the left was totally White.

These swords had the name of "kanshou and bakuya" being the favorite swords of counter guardian emiya, although they do not seem much these swords are special being both "noble ghosts" of rank "c-" they have this rank due to wha the magic resistance and The wielder's physical resistance improves when handled together, in addition to having an anti-beast attribute and its low tracking cost are perfect for a magician like him, since with its low reserves of od due to its low quality magic circuits it notcan do a lot, in addition to its origin and affinity being unique, which does not allow it to do much more than the magic in which it is specialized.

'Seriously, only my luck makes this happen to me', thinks Emiya as she prepares to fight with the closest thing to an angel she has ever had to face.

'I don't think kanshou and bakuya can hurt this thing, but the increase in physical and magical resistance should help me to be able to defend myself from whatever he throws at me, I also think I have the advantage, we are in my world which means that the cost of my projections is almost nil, also if the situation requires it, I could have to use excalibur and avalon multiple times, I hope those two can help me with the thing in front of me, 'thought Emiya as he squeeze the handles of his swords. .

[I RECOMMEND THAT THE USER HOSTILITIES STOP, SINCE AT NO TIME HAVE I INTENDED TO FORCESS YOU TO ACCEPT THE OFFER THAT WAS BROUGHT ABOVE, THE PROCEDURE TO FOLLOW IN CASE YOU REFUSE, IS TO RAISE THE FOLLOWING QUESTION]

Despite the clear sign that Emiya would face the screen with everything she has, the screen calmly responded, it is as if Emiya's refusal and agitation was already foreseen by the screen.

On the part of Emiya, he did not relax his posture, the only visible change in him was the raising of one of his eyebrows, showing his confusion and curiosity.

["EMIYA SHIROU"]

The screen spoke the name of the countra guardian, much to the annoyance of the aforementioned, as he prepared to respond in retaliation with the largest number of weapons he had not used since his fight with a certain servant in golden armor and the largest ego you will ever find through of the mega-verse the screen interrupted him with the next sentence, leaving it the most surprised that he had been a long time ago and that is something to considerin that the countra guardians are outside of time and space, similar to the throne of heroes.

[DO YOU WANT TO BE FREE?]

With those simple question, the entire wasteland fell silent, all the weapons that floated threateningly to impale the screen began to fall one by one until there were no more weapons that threatened to impale the screen.

The same emiya seemed that he still could not believe what the screen offered him, it is as if he refused to believe that the question was asked in the first place, after a few moments that seemed like hours for the counter guardian he finally seemed to assimilate the question.

"hahaha, HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA"

What started with a simple laugh quickly turned into a full-blown laugh.

"Haaaaaa, what an incredible joke, I really hadn't laughed like that in a long time, that's why I thank you, I have not heard such a stupid thing in a long time really thanks for making me laugh"

Emiya clearly refused to believe the veracity of the offer that was presented to him but who can blame him has been at the service of the collective unconscious of humanity as his executioner, his murde, his hunting dog,on his missions has always seen. seen a constant, there is nothing or no one powerful enough to snatch it alaya, although he may believe that the screen is a messenger of some god he does but not believe that he can be powerful enough to take him out of alaya's control, as As far as he is concerned, the creator of the screen is simply some arrogant god who refuses to leave the earth and be sent to the back of the world, although in the time when he was alive from now on that can be an incredible fact and it showed that he could once To see been some renowned god or a being with the ability to eliminate concepts or even crimson moon and types, now at this moment he does not believe that he can go against the collective unconscious of humanity nity.

[IF YOU WANT PROOF OF MY CREATOR'S ABILITY TO COMPLY WITH ITS OFFERS MY SINGLE PRESENCE ON THIS PLANE OF EXISTENCE IS THE BEST PROOF OF IT, THE ENTITY KNOWN AS "ALAYASHIKI" HAS BEEN EXPELLED AND UNABLE TO INTERACT WITH AGAIN YOU, EVEN YOUR CONNECTION WITH "ALAYASHIKI" HAS BEEN CUT OFF]

"Hmm, is this so"

Emiya answered and posed as if reflecting on the information that was just delivered, while inside his head he was quickly reviewing his connection with Alaya.

'It can't be that I'm really serious, it can't be possible, it's impossible for a god of yesteryear to have enough strength to cut my connection with Alaya', Emiya thought inwardly as she desperately searched for her connection with her and after a for a while he could not find it, when he knew that his connection was broken he began to nod something that long ago he had forgotten, great joy and hope began to invade him like water escaping from a broken dam.

"You were serious, I can't believe you really cut my connection with alaya"

Emiya said with perceptible joy in her voice, but after a while she calmed down and analyzed the situation carefully and realized that this might not be as good as it seemed, if she thought about it carefully, she was simply changing jailer, she could actually continue to be a prisoner. of an entity with unimaginable powers.

"Although this proves your point but who tells me that your creator could not be the same as alaya or even worse?"

Emiya asked with doubt and uncertainty

[YOUR MISTRUST IS UNDERSTOOD BUT I ASSURE YOU THAT MY CREATOR DOES NOT LOOK FOR SLAVES, HE SIMPLY LOOKS FOR THE BEST FOR THE TASKS THAT HE HAS PLANS TO MAKE THEM COMPLETE, IN ADDITION THAT YOU WILL HAVE NOT ONLY YOUR FREEDOM BUT YOU WILL ALSO SUPPORT IN DURING YOUR TIME SERVING UNDER MY CREATOR, IN ADDITION TO OTHER DIFFERENT BENEFITS, IN ADDITION THAT YOU WILL BE ALLOWED CERTAIN FREEDOMS AT THE MOMENT OF COMPLETING THE MISSIONS FOR EXAMPLE YOU WILL HAVE DIFFERENT METHODS TO COMPLY WITH THE OBJECTIVES WHICH WILL BE EXCEEDED, FROM THE APPREHENSION TO THE EXTERMINATION IN CERTAIN CASES BUT PLEASE NOTE THAT SOMETIMES YOU WILL NOT HAVE THIS POSSIBILITY, IF AFTER LISTENING TO THIS YOU STILL FIND THAT IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO ACCEPT THE OFFER THAT WAS BEEN MADE, WE WILL NOT INSIST ANY MORE AND WE WILL LEAVE YOU IN PEACE]

I finish say the screen and then the screen remained silent waiting for Emiya's response.

"I see, ... well I guess he's better than my current employer so you have a deal but first I want you to answer my questions"

Emiya commented after reflecting on her current situation, although it seems that her job change is decided, she still had certain doubts that she had since she began to dialogue with the screen.

[I WILL ANSWER ALL I CAN, BUT I MAY NOT BE ABLE TO ANSWER CERTAIN QUESTIONS SINCE IT IS NOT MY PLACE DOIT]

I answer the screen after Emiya's question.

"Ok that may pose a problem but I hope you can clear up some of my doubts,

1.-When I asked why I was selected from the many that exist, you mentioned 'selected' in the plural, in addition to the fact that when you spoke of the missions you referred to me as if I were a team, that means that I will be in a team?

2.-If it will really be a team, how many members will this team have?

3.-You commented that I will be supported in various ways during my time at my work for your creator, what other benefits will I have apart from my freedom?

4.-Can I refuse to fulfill certain missions if they are not to my liking? "

I finish asking Emiya, although all the questions are of the utmost importance, for him he the most relevant are the third and fourth questions.

[REGARDING YOUR FIRST QUESTION IS IF, AS YOU COULD DETERMINE YOU WILL WORK TOGETHER WITH OTHER PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN SELECTED FOR THEIR INDIVIDUAL SKILLS AND THEY ARE ASKED TO WORK TOGETHER TO BE ABLE TO MEET THE EXPECTATIONS OF PERSON´S OF ITS CALIBER, AS WITH RESPECT TO THE FOLLOWING QUESTION IT IS FROM 5 PEOPLE, YOU AND 4 OTHER PEOPLE HAVE BEEN SELECTED TO BE PART OF THIS GROUP, AT THE THIRD QUESTION THAT I AM NOT THE RIGHT ENTITY TO ANSWER IT BUT DO NOT WORRY ALREADY A PERSON WAS SELECTED FOR EXPLAIN AND ANSWER CERTAIN QUESTIONS THAT THE MEMBERS MAY HAVE, AND THE ANSWER TO THE LAST QUESTION IS, YES, THERE WILL BE MISSIONS THAT DO NOT REQUEST THE ENTIRE GROUP, FROM INDIVIDUALS,TO MISSIONS THAT WILL REQUIRE YOU TO BE A COUPLE, SO YOU WILL NOT HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT NOT WANTING TO PARTICIPATE IN A MISSION THAT IS NOT TO YOUR PLEASURE AND HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT REPRESSIONS FOR REFUSING TO COMPLY WITH THEM, BUT PLEASE DO NOT CONSIDER THEM ALL MISSIONS MAY BE SKIPPED]

I finish the screen by answering and explaining each of the counter guardian's questions.

"Ok, so I guess I'll wait for the last of the answers until I meet the person in charge of answering me."

Emiya replied after some of his doubts have been answered calming his worries and curiosity about his new job.

"So what now?"

Emiya asked after a moment

[THE PERSON SELECTED TO JOIN ACCEPTED THE OFFER PROCEEDING WITH THE RELEASE AND ANALYSIS OF THE USER.

%15

%34

% 89

% 100 ...

PROCESS COMPLETED PLEASE DETERMINE YOUR NICKNAME SO THAT THE DIMENSIONAL CHAT CAN GENERATE A COMMUNICATION METHOD WITH YOUR COMPANIONS.]

The system proceeded to do a process similar to the one I did with reinhard to emiya, unlike reinhard, emiya was a spirit 'so I can feel as if it was scanned by an unknown entity, as if its greatest secrets were exposed in front of him after the analysis finished he read the last message and had to blink twice to make sure he read correctly

'If, I'm right, I didn't read wrong there, says chat', Emiya, unlike the 'traditional' magicians, was aware of the technological improvements that his world had with the passing of the years before dying, an invention saw with the arrival of the 'internet' were the messages through satellite connection,whereby you can know why you are surprised by the communication method selected by a deity to communicate with his new companions.

'I have to select a nickname, hmmmmm, well go for a classic.'

thought Emiya after a moment of analyzing the curious request of his new employer.

"I choose 'ARCHER' ​​as my nickname."

Emiya said.

["ARCHER" HAS BEEN SELECTED AS A NAME, CONFIGURATION COMPLETED, PROCEEDING TO BRING THE USER THE BEST PLACE FOR THEIR PRODUCTIVITY TO INCREASE AFTER A DELICATE CONSIDERATION.]

He answered the screen after accepting Emiya's nickname and proceeded again to surprise Emiya with his next comment.

"Transport? What do you mean by that, wait where are you taking me TELL MEEEEE!"

Emiya started commenting as he was quickly covered by a pillar of white light that began to swallow Emiya's entire inner world along with it.

Emiya who had been consumed by the pillar began to feel that it was moving through different layers as if it were going through one wall followed by another, each one more resistant than the last, after what seemed like hours it finally ended.

Emiya after such a trip felt very dizzy and ill but quickly that feeling disappeared as if it was magically cured.

'Than? All the discomfort magically disappeared, dont, wait, it feels like when I had avalon in my body but it is impossible I´ no longer have avalon or physical body, what happened 'thought Emiya while adjusting to the new sensations and the rapid change in her state physical, finally after a while he was able to calm down and open his eyes to look where he was, all the time ready to project kanshou and bakuya to defend himself from whatever it was.

when he opened them what he found left him speechless, green, green everywhere, grasslands, meadows, trees with fruits, all kinds of vegetation appeared before his eyes, unlike his inner world this place was full of life. gave the feeling that no matter what happened, none hurt may come to you being here, emiya in addition to feeling that also felt a lot of nostalgia, so much that unknowingly the tears began to fall from her eyes, when she realized it she quickly wiped her eyes and put a confused face and he tried to remember if he had seen this place before or why this place made him feel these feelings.

his reflections did not get very far as he was quickly interrupted of his reflections thoughts when a voice came from behind.

"Shirou?"

Asked a brittle voice, despite the brittle tone of the voice you could tell that the voice belonged to a young woman.

Emiya quickly turned around to confront the voice for calling him by that name, when he turned around he could see it,When he saw her he was speechless and all his replicas that he was ready to say were trapped in his mouth without being able to get outsince he finally saw her I can remember everything that he had previously forgotten due to his work as a counter guardian, Well saying that he were speechless might not be correct as a word, a name might come out of you his mouth.

"A..... Arturia?"

It was more of a question than a name but this did not stop the she now named Arturia from quickly nodding with a smile along with tearful eyes.

without wasting time they both began to run like that the other one, when finally the distance became short enough arturia jumped like this the arms of emiya, who already had her arms open to receive her in a big hug, once he caught her, he couldn't resist the urge turn as he held her in his arms.

While they spun they laughed between tears, the great happiness that I felt at the finally of being together once again was so much that they did not need words to express it, just being together was more than enough, after a few laps they both fell to the ground full of grass, with emiya face up looking at the sky with a tearful but happy smile on her face and arturia on top of him with her head buried in her breast as her own tears trickled down Emiya's chest not caring about the discomfort that emiya's armor could bring to her her face.

after a few moments in silence Emiya finally spoke.

"Tadaima"

I speak emiya looking at the sky.

"Okaerinasai shirou"

Arturia spoke with her head still on her chest.

"I missed you so much"

I speak emiya with a tearful voice

"And I to you 'baka' "

Arturia said also with tearful voice

"I have a lot to tell you"

Emiya finally said after a while.

"Don't worry we have all the time in the world now"

Arturia said in response to Emiya as she looked Shirou in the face with a big smile with her eyes closed, to which Emiya responded with a similar smile.

And so emiya told her so many things for a long time from stories, to talking about irrelevant topics but nevertheless the smiles on their faces never disappeared without knowing that in other universes the same screen appeared before three different people, one of them was:

A very beautiful woman who seemed to be in a drunken state while walking towards a casino followed by another woman who had a pig in her arms.

Another was:

A man in a very expensive looking black suit while relaxing in an armchair, outside could see a large city that seemed to always be in trouble due to the multiple sirens that were heard in the background.

And finally:

A man who appeared to be in an underground crypt or tomb as he relaxed in a Victorian era chair with his legs crossed one over the other as he leaned on his right fist and in his left he held a glass that appeared to be filled with a wine very red, the only distinguishing feature of the man that could be seen were red eyes that seemed to glow in the darkness of the crypt.

What the three of them had in common was that suddenly a translucent screen appeared before them thus attracting their attention.

"WHAT THE HELL IS THIS"

"What could this be?"

"Hoho, but how interesting"

The three people commented.
