Chapter 2: Faker vs Counterfeit

"Trace…On!" Shirou muttered as he projects the married twin swords [Kanshou] and [Bakuya] in both of his hands to deflect the incoming projectiles coming at him.

"Trace… It can't be." Gilgamesh muttered as her widens in realization as she summons more swords from the golden ripples, "That fighting style!"

"Possessed by the embodiment of that heroic ideal, a future different path…." Shirou stated as the two blades crumble and turn back into motes of blue while projecting more blades to use, "…having faced many battles, I perfected my future skills and magic circuits…. And even inherited his origin. No… It might be better to say that every time this body fought it was being invaded by the Heroic Spirit EMIYA!"

"So, what was that about a mere flesh and blood human? You're slow on the uptake, King of Heroes." Shirou shouted as he projects the twin swords again, "What you're facing…. is a true imitation of a Heroic Spirit!"

"Lowly Faker!" Gilgamesh shouted angrily as she launches another wave of swords directly at Shirou.

In retaliation of this Shirou also charges in with his own projections to counter this attack. "UHHH!" Shirou grunted as he deflects and destroy the projectile in his path using his own floating projections. Wave after wave of attacks from Gilgamesh, Shirou stood his ground and charges steadfast as he projects swords after swords after swords, until finally reaching Gilgamesh.

With a huge leap Shirou brings up both of his sword and strike down onto Gilgamesh. Gilgamesh seeing this action narrows her eyes and bring out a sword to block Shirou's attack. The sound of metal can be still heard as they both try to get the upper hand from the attack. Unfortunately to Shirou's Luck he lost the clash as Gilgamesh breaks both of his swords and manages to push him back while she opens up a portal on top of him launching her swords in incredible speeds destroying the ground Shirou stood in causing dust to envelope the area.

Gilgamesh couldn't help but smirk from this, but as the dust clears up she can spot a figure lying in the ground with swords impaled in the ground around him. This figure was Shirou with tattered bloody clothing and his red-hair have strands of white, while some of his tan skin starts darkening from the extensive use of his projections.

"You should be dead on your feet…" Gilgamesh scorned, "Yet the speed and strength of your projection is increasing. I don't know what trick you are using, but it's useless."

"The only thing that awaits you… is certain ruin." Gilgamesh arrogantly smirked.

"I know." Shirou muttered as he struggles to get up still with determination on his eyes, "The reason I was able to survive those battles.. ugh… what you labeled as a 'useless trick' is my connection with her. I only lasted until now is because of Miyu's support."

"I'm such a pathetic big brother, aren't I? But, that's precisely why…" Shirou said as he is finally standing up readying for combat again, "I'm standing here and now to use up what's left of my life!"

With all of those said Shirou suddenly rips his coat off then stretches his left hand outwards while his other hand claps his left. Pushing his prana to the limit Shirou finally chants his aria while strands of his red hair whitens and his skin darkens:

"I am the bone of my sword.

Steel is my body, and fire is my blood.

I have created over a thousand blades."

Gilgamesh sensing that the Faker was about to do something shoots out projectiles to interfere his chant but was blocked by a purple flowered shield protecting Shirou in the process while the extensive use of his magecraft takes its toll in Shirou.

"Unaware of beginning,

Nor aware of the end.

Withstood pain with inconsistent weapons,

my hands will never hold anything."

With [Rho Aias] disintegrating from the countless attack from Gilgamesh. Seeing this Gilgamesh sends out his chains [Enkidu] to try to stop Shirou from continuing his aria. But to no avail as Shirous pushes through it and forces himself to finish it leaving Gilgames's attempt to stop him to be fruitless.

"Yet, my flames never ends.

My whole body was still…"

Seeing that her attempts thwarted, in a fit of rage she charges in with a big sword in her hand trying to cut off his head.

"UNLIMITED BLADE WORKS"

As Shirou finish his chant, him and Gilgamesh were suddenly enveloped by a heavy fog. Seeing Shirou missing in front of her and finding herself in the middle of a heavy blizzard at night where the moon can be seen, she was confused, until she finally hears crunching of snow behind her, turning around Gilgamesh widens her eyes as she sees snowy hills with different swords impaled in the ground around her.

"The collective with the individual… Reality with fantasy… Switching Outside with the inside…. Overwriting the world with one's own mind." Shirou stated as he emerges from the heavy blizzard while lifting an impaled sword from the ground, "The Innermost Magecraft, Reality Marble."

"Hey, what do you think of it?" Shirou asked as he points a sword at Gilgamesh with resolve in his eyes, "It's a world encompassing an infinite of swords. But to me… they look more like graves. Sorry, but please keep me company until my blade runs out."

"As you wish, a puppet like you who mimics the dead, I shall sink you to the bottom of those graves." She accepted as she opens up a several portals behind her.

Hearing this Shirou smirked and charges at her. Seeing this, Gilgamesh shoots out her weapons aiming at Shirou. Using [Structural Analysis] at the swords being launched at him, he then projects and commands the same swords that Gilgamesh uses to deflect her projectiles while he also defends from the ground from the rest of the swords that couldn't be deflected. Gilgamesh suddenly ups the speed of her projectiles as she can see Shirou getting close to her. Shirou destroying the last waves sees Gilgamesh opening up new ones but before she can launch them Shirou launches his set of swords neutralizing them before they can launch.

"He was a step ahead of me?" Gilgamesh mumbled in surprise as she tilts her behind her seeing her weapons destroyed.

"Too slow!" Shirou shouted as he slashes at a bewildered Gilgamesh trying to end the battle, but to no avail as he passes through her instead startling him.

"Don't make light of the Ainswoths." Gilgamesh said in anger before opening up a portal beneath Shirou. Feeling the displacement around him, Shirou finds himself above the spot where he was standing.

'Spatial Displacement!'Shirou exclaimed with his eyes wide with realization.

"Playtime is over." Gilgamesh said as she opens a giant golden portal on top of Shirou as two Divine Construct appears, "Come forth, [Ig-Alima], [Sul-Sagana] !"

Shirou was astonished by the two giant swords but he soon collected his bearings as his sister is depending on him, so he grits his teeth and used [Structural Analysis] on them and put his circuits in overdrive to project his own constructs to counter them causing Shirou to be hurled quickly away from the force of the blast impact between the weapons. This caused Shirou to crashed down while flaming debris comes down around him which turned his Reality Marble ablaze. When Shirou gets up he couldn't help but huff from the exhaustion.

"Your very existence is flawed." Said the blond beauty emerging from the flames and smoke around him, "To the last legend we have written and put into motion for humanity, you may prove to be a hindrance. Your irksome ability… your strange use of Magecraft… and your abhorrent self-destructive conviction… They will all turn to pieces."

As Gilgamesh finishes her monologue, a strange red 'sword' bursting with power suddenly appears on her hand from one of the portals she opened. As she lifts it up for Shirou to see he couldn't help but felt a sense of dread as he knows there are no weapon in his arsenal that couldn't compare to this sword. The atmosphere around them starts to crackle and tremble from the very presence of this sword while the clouds rotates around it.

"Along with your world." She continued with arrogance in her voice.

"Yeah…" Said Shirou with a hint of defeat in his voice, as swords drop from the sky one by one, "There's no sword in this world that could stand equal to that one sword."

Closing his eyes, Shirou starts reminiscing about his life, his journey and his reason which was for to save his younger sibling. Remembering his sibling's smile, his wavering resolve finally solidifies and now stood stronger than ever.

"So… uncouth as this may be… I'll have to…" Shirou said with new vigor in his voice as he commands an infinite number of swords in the horizon to counter the weapon, "pay you back with ALL THE SWORDS I HAVE IN STOCK!"

And with this command Shirou launches his full arsenal on to Gilgamesh. Seeing the wave of blades in front of her, her confidence still has not wavered as she begins to chant her ultimate trump card.

"Return to the Beginning-"She yelled as she thrusts the sword forward and a huge red beam shoots out of the sword, "ENUMA ELISH!"

When the red beam met the wave of blades it didn't move any further as the wave of blades keeps on coming instantly before it could be destroyed causing the beam to be halted in its path. All that could be heard where the war cry of both members and the clashing and destruction of metal.

"It's futile! Even if you pile all of your blades together…" Gilgamesh yelled as she pours more of her magical energy into the sword, "THEY ARE NO MATCH FOR THE GREATEST SWORD!" ================================================

As the clash of power is still happening, outside the Reality Marble you can see the Holy Grail finishing its process as the young girl who is seen sleeping wished deep in her heart for the safety of her big brother.

'Onii-chan please be safe. So we can meet again.' The girl wished deep in her before being swallowed by a pillar of blue light. Fortunately for her someone or something heard the wished in her heart and granted it without hesitation. ===============================================

Back to the clashing of power before they can continue with their clash of power, Shioru could feel the fluctuation of his Od reserves causing it to drain faster than usual there he knew that his wish is almost complete.

"It's as you say… there are times when just one thing can outweigh everything else." Shirou smiled confidently as his reserves finally hits zero and his Reality Marble wavers, instead of the beam killing him, he was instead propelled from his Reality Marble back into the real world.

'Ah, this is bad...' Shirou thought as he remembers the promised that he and his sister made together, 'Our promise to see the ocean together…. I forgot all about it… I… failed to be a hero who could save others… but…'

While lying in the rubbles as his visions starts to darken from exhaustion Shirou stretched out his arm and clenches fingers into a fist.

"I won…" Shirou muttered weakly with a huge smile plastered on his face as he finally succumbs to the darkness.

Gilgamesh seeing the Holy Grail missing she couldn't help but scowl from this defeat, Looking over at the unconscious teen for a while an idea pop into her head. She could use Shirou's prana signatures to track the Holy Grail. But before she can grab the unconscious Shirou, he was suddenly swallowed by a black portal. This enraged the Blond beauty as her plans was just ruined by some third party.

"FAAAKKKEEERRR!"
