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

———————————————————————

As Shirou, Saber and Lancer arrive at Illya's villa, they are met by EMYIA, who mocks Shirou's ideals. While Lancer runs off to retrieve Rin, Saber demands to know why EMYIA is so intent on killing Shirou. EMYIA fulfilled her aspiring ideals to becoming hero of justice, but she became disillusioned by it and chose to become a Servant so she could rectify it.

Saber is forced to reveal her true identity as King Arthur, who hoped to use the Holy Grail to undo her decision to become the king of Britain, as she believes it was her rule that eventually resulted in the country's destruction. Although Saber remarks she is different from EMYIA in terms of living up to their ideals, EMYIA elaborates that she was dissatisfied when she was a Guardian, being forced to take lives in order to save many more. She concludes that her ideals were shallow and that it was impossible to save everyone as she envisioned. Archer then reveals her true identity as Shirou's future self from an alternate universe, the Counter-Guardian Heroic Spirit EMYIA.

Meanwhile Lancer had arrived and before he could free her. Kirei suddenly appears and unveils himself to be Lancer's Master. He further discloses that he killed Rin's father in the previous Holy Grail War, and therefore was the Master with dark intentions. Kirei orders Lancer to kill Rin, intending to use her body as a vessel for the Holy Grail. When Lancer refuses, Kirei uses one of his many Command Seals and orders Lancer to commit suicide.

Back at the main entrance, EMYIA tosses Shirou one of her swords and orders her to kill herself with it. However, Shirou declines, proclaiming that she will do all he can to avoid becoming EMYIA. As a result, Shirou and EMYIA prepare to engage each other in battle.

During the battle, Shirou finds that while she is only barely able to hold off EMYIA's attacks, she is slowly becoming stronger the longer she clashes with Archer.

Meanwhile, Kirei prepares to take Rin's heart against her protests. However, Lancer, mortally wounded but still alive, fatally stabs Kirei. After freeing Rin, Lancer collapses to the ground and laments how he would have liked for Rin to be his Master. Both Rin and Lancer bid farewell to each other. As Rin leaves, Lancer sets a fire to destroy both himself and Kirei's corpse.

Back at the main entrance, Shirou and EMYIA continue to battle, with EMYIA activating her Unlimited Blade Works and slowly gaining the upper hand. As their swords clash, Shirou begins to see EMYIA's memories and becomes aware of what her future holds in store for her. With her belief shaken, Shirou is quickly defeated by EMYIA and left on the verge of death. As she lies on the ground, Shirou begins to reflect on the memories he gained from EMYIA, as well as the memories of Kiritsugu saving her ten years ago. From this, EMYIA concludes her ideals are not wrong, and she decides to continue fighting. At that moment, Saber's scabbard Avalon, which Kiritsugu had placed inside Shirou to heal the injuries she sustained from the fire, activates and heals Shirou's wounds. With her confidence in her ideals restored, Shirou prepares to battle EMYIA again, with the declaration that she will defeat Archer.

With Gilgamesh we can see move away from the group towards the woods, we can see a hulking black figure(Blackened Berserker) "now how did you end up like this" I quickly use Sha Naqbe Imuru to see what happened "I see so the grail had so much extra energy that it used Illya's body to make you meaning that Illya's dead and you got summoned and turned into this because of the mud.… well let's get right to the point the grail wanted to speed this war up so let's speed things up" immediately Gilgamesh had cut Berserkers arms of with Enki before shooting a sword into berserkers head. With a combination of observation haki and instinct he was dominating the fight. Sensing it's defeat approaching berserker quickly escapes leaving Gil by himself. As berserker escapes in the direction of where Shirou and EMYIA were fighting, seeing this Gil quickly runs after berserker firing from Bab-li to quickly try and kill berserker.

Meanwhile, as the battle continues, EMYIA chastises Shirou for continuing to pursue her ideals, declaring she will wipe out every trace of Shirou's existence. However, EMYIA begins to realize that Shirou will never give up and that it is pointless to defeat her now. Finally, as Shirou explains the beauty she saw in her ideals, her spirit begins to overwhelm EMYIA's Unlimited Blade Works. Shirou rushes towards EMYIA, who becomes distracted by a flashback of Kiritsugu's last moments. EMYIA is wounded by Shirou just as Rin arrives. Suddenly, EMYIA is impaled by three swords fired by Gilgamesh. Then Berserker comes crashing down as EMYIA pushes Shirou out of the way and seemingly dies after taking the full force of the attack. Berserker keeps running past all of them, as Gil shows up and watches as berserker leaves. When questioned on why berserker was back and in that form, Gilgamesh explains that during one of the Holy Grail War, true function of the Holy Grail was switched to a wish granting device to a container for thousands of curses, before announcing that berserker took on that form after using Illya's body as a way to come back and was turned that way are entering the grail.
