Chapter 12 I’m getting ready sick of this shit

Disclaimer: I don't own TYPE-MOON or One Piece

———————————————————————

Ten years ago, in the aftermath of the Fourth Holy Grail War, Illya had a vision of her mother Irisviel von Einzbern, who claimed her husband and Illya's father, a participant in the war, betrayed them by refusing to accept the Holy Grail when it presented itself to him. At first, she refused to believe it, but realized the truth when her father did not return home. As time passed, she stumbled upon a pool in her home, containing numerous homunculi that were created to serve Illya's purpose, only to fail in their missions. Realizing she is also a homunculus from their dying messages, Illya became disillusioned with her life. Later on, she met Leysritt and Sella, who assisted her in summoning Berserker. However, she initially did not want him, resolving to participate and win the Holy Grail War by herself. During the final test of her link ritual, she was separated from Berserker and lost her way in the nearby snowy woods. A pack of wolves attacked her, but she was rescued by Berserker. She realized that he protected her of his own free will afterwards.

In the present day, Illya and Berserker continue their battle against Archer as Shirou and Rin arrive to witness the event. Gilgamesh reveals Berserker's God Hand gives him twelve lives, one for each of the Labours of Heracles, and steadily depletes them with his countless Noble Phantasms from Gate of Babylon. As the battle reaches the main entrance, Gilgamesh eventually restrains Berserker using another Noble Phantasm, Enkidu, a set of unbreakable binding chains. Gilgamesh impales Berserker with a large spear, Archer restraints Illya and is about to leave. As she try's to get to Berserker's side, he breaks the chains and makes one last attempt to strike Gilgamesh, only to be killed. Shirou tries to intervene, but Illya is taken away by Archer, as Gil makes a silent vow to protect Illya.

As Gilgamesh knocks Illya out, Shirou and Rin confront Gilgamesh. Gilgamesh and Shirou stare at each other for a moment, but Shirou understood Gil at that moment, if given the chance he will fight for her again. After Gil leaves Rin confronts Shirou about her ideals and tells her that she needs to value herself over others, otherwise she will break. Shirou refutes this by the example of being rescued by Kiritsugu Emiya ten years ago, something Shirou admires. However, Rin cites that Shirou will not truly understand happiness unless she lives for herself. Despite her argument, Shirou remains committed to her ideals.

Later on, as they evaluate the power of Gilgamesh and conclude that Caster is still their priority, the two are approached by Lancer, who offers his assistance, which they accept.

Meanwhile, Archer learns that Kuzuki is helping Caster return to her original era using the Holy Grail. Archer later confronts Shirou, Rin and Lancer as they arrive at the church. Lancer engages Archer to give Shirou and Rin time to breach the church. As they do so, Rin informs Shirou that there is only one red jewel pendant that exists in the world, which she had already collected such a item from her home.

In the church, Caster questions Kuzuki about the fact that he has no desires, yet he has an objective. Shirou and Rin soon come to confront and combat Kuzuki and Caster. Meanwhile, Lancer is overwhelmed by Archer as a result, Lancer tries to use his Gáe Bolg to strike him down, but Archer uses his Armament Haki to the max turning his chest pitch black as well as both of his hands. Gae Bolg strikes his chest but doesn't break through it, using both of his hand he grabbed the spear and tried to pull it away while slowly covering his whole body with Armament Haki as a explosion over takes Gilgamesh. After the explosion was over you could see the top part of his armor was gone and his hands and chest burned a bit. After praising Lancer's power, Archer reveals that he staged his capture so he could take advantage of Caster when she had her guard down, prompting Lancer to leave.

Back at the church, Shirou and Rin are both overwhelmed by their opponents, but Archer suddenly appears and ambushes Kuzuki, firing several swords at him. Caster shields Kuzuki from the swords and is impaled herself. As she dies, she confesses to Kuzuki that her wish has already been granted. Kuzuki then tries to fight Archer, explaining that since he had participated in disrupting the usual proceedings of the Holy Grail War, he had to finish what he had started. He is then stabbed by Archer and crushed by a collapsing pillar. Shirou sprints to Gil and quickly starts to look him over worrying over his injuries. Rin is suddenly trapped in a cage of swords, and a female EMYIA declares her intention as a Guardian to kill Shirou. Which wasn't really surprising as the Grail is still corrupted and EMYIA is a counter guardian.

Saber risks her existence without a Master, but still swearing an oath to protect Rin. However, she is overwhelmed by EMYIA, forcing Gil to intervene and take over in the fight. Rin takes advantage of this distraction to form a pact with Saber as Master and Servant again. Fully restored, Saber subdues EMYIA, who mocks her for her wish of rectifying her legacy. Archer then uses her Noble Phantasm, Unlimited Blade Works, revealed as a Reality Marble, a spell that manifests an alternate reality, which consists of a barren wasteland filled with swords and floating gears that traps Shirou, Saber and Rin with her and leaving Gil out side.

After EMYIA creates and aims several swords at Saber, Shirou summons a sword of her own and destroys them, thereby dissipating EMYIA's Unlimited Blade Works. A weakened EMYIA grabs Rin, intending to use her as an "insurance policy" against Shirou and Saber while she recuperates for one day. Before she flees, Shirou tells her to meet with her at Illya's villa. Later on, a restrained Rin wakes up in the basement of Illya's villa after having yet another dream about Saber, and confronts her about why a counter guardian was here.

Back at her house, Shirou tells Saber and Gil to let her battle EMYIA while they save Rin, also implying that she knows Archer's true identity. As they make their way to Illya's villa, they are joined by Lancer, who is also determined to rescue Rin.

'I'm getting ready sick of this shit' a annoyed Gil thought as he noticed a giant black figure a ways away
