66--Summoning the Lesser Grail (Sayonara Disposable Pawn A)

--Well ladies and gentleman, the Fifth War for the Holy Grail of Fuyuki City - Japan is officially over, Tohsaka Rin is the winner, however due to the damage present within the Grail itself, it will be delivered at a later date . Heiress of the Will of the Einzberg I wait for you at the Ryuudoji temple with the Heaven Vest to restart the Grail in a few hours, Rider and Sakura you are coming too. Regarding His Highness Arthuria and his wish, I should talk to his sponsor Merlin if he hopes to fulfill it in some way, regarding Emiya Shirou, if you want to fight, wait for the Grail to reset, then I can play with you all you want.

After taking out my anger on everyone, I finished my speech in a cold and blunt manner, entering my "Rakshasa" form, I left the Emiya residence in the blink of an eye.

--Master~ Welcome~

I flew straight to the temple where I was greeted by the cute lamia girl Hebi who was waiting for me along with Medea, though for some reason both of them were wearing suggestive maid-san outfits.

--Huh? Hebi, Caster... I won't ask but they look good~

I caressed the hair of the tender and young lamia before giving my beloved queen a hug.

--Welcome~

--Master is somewhat anxious~

--I want to end all this before some thief steals my prize.

--Calm down Master, everything will go according to plan.

--The chimera was not used in the final~ we have one Ace left.

--Always thinking of any eventuality, right Master?

--I'm paranoid~ this is a cruel and ruthless world, only the strongest can walk freely~

--Master is so cruel~

Caster and I flirted for a while in the doorway, dragging Hebi into our silly games; after a while we leave the games and enter the main theme.

--Caster, what is the condition of the sacrifice?

--That garbage is ready to be recycled, the fragment of the Makiri has already digested the existence of Gilgamehs, we can start at any time.

--Perfect~ the chimera can serve as a buffer in the worst case scenario anyway that bastard is going to die in the worst possible way~

--Master is so cool~

Hebi's small voice was heard in the room, the cute lamia blushed making Caster and me laugh.

--Hebi-chan will be a good older sister, don't you think master?

--I can't argue with that logic~ you'll be a great big sister Hebi~

We continue to have a fun and joyous family reunion, until the clock strikes the start of the final arc.

Ryūdoji Temple

--I see you arrived early~

I am currently wearing my holy clothes, the combat suit supplied by the burial agency, in front of me the surviving participants of my war for the holy grail.

--Kurama-Kun I'm~ very, very upset with you~

, yes Rin- Ojou-sama~ I know but later~ I have more important things to attend to~ if you'll excuse me~

Ignoring the bandaged Shiro who was being supported by Saber and Sakura I walked towards the trio of Homunculi.

"Illya, are you ready?"

--Have you prepared the container?

The empty eyes of the Einzbergs looked at me, I smiled.

--It's ready, you just have to turn it on~ Would you like to come in?

Pointing to the back of time we all moved towards the lake, where a half-naked man with a censored face floated bound in bone chains and silver pedestals engraved with sacred writings.

--I had to put up a holy barrier and bless the lake water for safety, for the next three hours this lake is a holy water font~

--A pretty dedicated alchemist~ purifying this amount of fluid is not something a human can do and I doubt your lover can perform miracles from the bible. Did you work a miracle, executor?

--Indeed~ manipulate the symbolism a bit and create a temporary blessing matrix, 33 silver pillars engraved with 33 different psalms, even if the mud overflows it shouldn't explode like it did more than 10 years ago.

I remembered the big fire and couldn't hide my annoyance, making Shiro, Saber and Rin cringe.

--Whatever, Caster~ let's start~

--Yes, master~

At my words Caster who was carrying the Makiri fragment which shone with black light and gold, levitated above the water and reached the sacrifice and embedded the grail fragment in his chest.

--GYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!

A sharp, screeching scream came from the man's mouth even when we had sewn it up the sound was still loud, the body began to convulse and writhe, to swell and move, hundreds of lumps, pustules and abscesses appeared on its surface destroying the human anatomy , turning her into no more than a misshapen ball of quivering, pulsing flesh.

--That voice?...Kurama-Kun!

--Yes, yes... it's that guy~ don't worry, I'm being merciful~ he deserves this and much more~

Rin paled as Rider covered Sakura's eyes and ears, Shiro was glaring at me while Saber tried to hold him back.

--Akatsuki!

"What, Shirou?"

--You're using Shinji as a sacrifice.

--Sins like that will barely be paid for with this~ Rape, murder, robbery, extortion~ I can spend three days and nights recounting the crimes of that bastard~ let it be, he's finally doing something useful for society~

I smiled, as I brought my hands in front of me and recited a short prayer.

--By the true God, by the holy God, by the God who can do everything, I order you to make Water a holy vehicle of mercy and forgiveness in the name of Jesus, my Savior and Lord. Amen.

Spreading my hands apart and placing them on the dark water, a silver-white glow illuminated the lake purifying it and repressing the contamination of the grail.

--Perfect~ Illya please open the connection to the lesser grail.

--Understand~ Seat-Onii-sama~

Illya took off the purple sweater that covered her revealing the immaculate and elegant dress, Sella and Liz proceeded to put on the headdress and the final accessories, as soon as these were equipped the little priestess of the frozen forests of Germany was dragged towards the grail, floating on the lake. The lump of meat began to turn black and change its shape, stabilizing and shrinking, first cubic, then rectangular, little by little it contorted its shape until it became a circle.

--Ha~ Shirou remember, 10 years ago the black sun shone over our heads while we crawled in the middle of hell~ eh here that same sun~

Primordial slime began to flow from within the grail, the contents emptying out, countless groans heard from beyond the reddish-black darkness. Caster was collecting and refining all the surplus mana by harvesting it for his own reincarnation.

--Rider, Sakura go to Caster for his wish, your revival and healing can be arranged now.

I spoke in a soft voice as I continued to purify the water, the bluish-silver light maintaining a slight perimeter in contrast to the tide of mud, Shirou could only watch my plan unfold as he bit his lips.

++++++

--Shirou, Akatsuki-dono, you have your reasons for all this... we can't intervene.

"Know... are you on his side?"

Shirou questioned his former Servant but the one who interrupted his talk was Rin.

--I think this is my fault...I...I think I put too much pressure on Kurama?

--Tohsaka?

--Rhine?

--I met this guy years ago... although it pains me to admit it, he was my first love and I was his, he's doing all this for me, to give me the best victory, the best trophy, he's right... I'm just a clumsy and soft Ojou-sama~ What is a Magus but a murderer? Did I make him kill too much? Did he change so much but still keep his word? I am a lousy mistress.

The trio looked at the back of the young man only a few years older than them, on the broad shoulders of the young priest could be seen the shadows of all the vicissitudes he had to face to get to this moment.

--Rin, that guy isn't as noble as he thinks... but if it's true that he loves you, he unilaterally shared a part of his memories with me so I know a little about his life, he certainly has suffered but he voluntarily walked the path of thorns, it may be twisted and deviated but its goal remains the same.

--And what is that Saber?

--Free yourself from the curse of the Grail and live a peaceful life. That guy just wants to rest.

--Rest?

--A soul that crawled from the abyss and fell into hell, struggled to rediscover a meaning through Thaumaturgy, in the end he just wants to rest, he's just a very kind egoist.

Saber commented with a slight hint of sympathy towards the man who humiliated her and made her accept her reality.

--You're right Saber, he's just a selfish bastard, a very kind bastard.

+++++++

Illya remained floating in front of the portal while her lips and eyelids trembled, she must be singing the chants for the reset, Caster was busy with the resurrections, the homunculus duo were vigilant to the situation of their teacher, the cabal of the protagonists only watched. My actions, for my part, I was busy beyond power.

--Will of the Einzbergs! How much left?

I yelled at Illya but there were no answers, just a small pause in the pronunciation of the verses before continuing.

--Escaño-dono shouldn't be long until the restart.

--Tell him to hurry up, Avenger must be about to appear... that guy won't lose the opportunity to manifest himself after 80 years.

As if my words started the race of chance, a tremor shook the earth, opening the final act.

--Welcome~ Avenger!

--I~CHILD~!

A screeching and annoyed voice coming from the other side of the grail was heard throughout the place.

I see you didn't waste your time~

--Ha hahahaha~ You threw a useful body to this side~ Of course I'll take advantage of it~

A half-naked young man with curly hair came out from the mud, his body was covered by an infinity of tattoos, each one was a curse, an insult, a blasphemy, Matou Shinji returned from the dead as the incarnation of "All the Evils of the World - Angria Maiyu"

--I thought I had placed enough blessed silver in his body so that he couldn't be possessed. How did you do it?

--It was difficult~ it was difficult~ I spent a lot of my energy but managed to separate all that holiness from this body~ If I wasn't a god I would have died~

--Damn bastard~

--Same here~ boy~
