Chapter Eight: Lost Man's Warning

Shirou POV

I am standing in a black and red void with gears of great sizes stretched over the skies the land in front of me extends beyond the horizon with an infinite number of weapons planted into the ground each one I passed reminded me of a grave. 

This world was broken its only purpose was to create weapon in order to kill one after another I climbed up to the hill where I meet the lost man once more, he stands staring into the distance. 

 When I look at this man no rather this machine I feel a rage so deep that I was almost tempted to try and project the married blades to kill him.

 He turns around facing me eye to eye his black cloak dances in the wind "well we finally meet at last...Emiya Shirou," the lost man said his voice sending goosebumps all over me. 

"I am not going to go into all the details here Emiya Shirou so listen up do not trust that nun she is a being of pure evil should you pursue her you will only fall to your doom," he said taking a few steps closer to me. 

A glitch covers my mind for a second "you don't even realize what it is that you've done hero by the time you realize it you'll lose yourself further then you already have ufufufuf such a shame that I won't be there to see what becomes of you mister superhero of justice," came the voice of the witch. 

'I' point the pistol directly at the witch's heart after a long day of slaughter 'I' had finally managed to catch up to her on top of the roof top "there's nowhere for you to run witch! it is time you repent for your sins," the younger version of the lost man declared ready to end her life. 

"Is that what you think," the witch responded taking a step back just what exactly was she planning a smile spread itself across her face "at the end of the day I always win hero," the witch suddenly declared before falling back 'my' eyes widen "NO!" 'I' shouted running to grab her. 

'My' fingers barely grasp her own if it was possible the smile of the witch grew more sinister as she plummeted down to her death the sound of a crack echoed in 'my' ears. 

The lost man dropped to his knees his eyes wide all the people he just killed was for no reason at all the justice he was about to deliver never happened something breaks inside of him "ha...haha...ahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!" finally, the man broke down his eyes looking straight out at the sky. 

'He' remembers something 'his' father told him so long ago "saving someone means not saving someone else," at the time 'he' had been a young boy who had just declared that 'he' wanted to be a superhero that wanted to save people just like E##ya Kir####gu. 

What a joke the lost man's thoughts echo through my head 'I' couldn't save everyone these hands of 'mine' only killed to protect humanity. 

It didn't matter if a couple hundred or so thousand people had to die just as long as the rest of humanity lived from the actions, 'I' took in the name of justice then it was fine their deaths would have been avenged by 'me' taking out the threat. 

Here in this moment 'I' stood with endless tears running down my cheeks understanding now that it was all a fucking lie justice was a lie for a moment, I thought of turning back from the path 'I' was on. 

Then 'I' thought about everything I had done up and till that point all of the sacrifices I made for nothing no even if 'I' hate this path of mine, 'I' must continue to be a superhero to repent for what I had done here today E##ya must turn his mind further into that of steel. 

The younger version of the broken hero was replaced by the lost man in front of me now golden cracks cover his entire body "heed my warning Shirou Emiya the witch Kiara Sessiyon cannot be trusted! You must kill her at all costs!" the man exclaimed with eyes of pure fury. 

Swords burst out from my body "u҉n҉l҉i҉m҉i҉t҉e҉d҉ ҉l҉o҉s҉t҉ ҉w҉o҉r҉k҉s҉" his world invaded my entirety more blueprints filled my mind then I awoke screaming in agony "ahhhhhhhh!!!!" 

"Shirou calm down your safe," came a familiar melodious voice my eyes turn meeting the nun I had met earlier. 

Kiara Sessiyoin the same women that the lost man had informed me of I groan clutching my head he whispers, 'kill her now!' 

Kanshou and Bakuya are projected by instinct "S-shirou what are you doing?" the nun questions with a bit of fear in her eyes as she sees me coming closer to her with the married blades in hand "silence witch!" my mouth spoke. 

Golden lines covered my neck, arms, and face "you're not fooling anyone with that facade of yours's nun! This time I'll be sure to end you once in for all those needless sacrifices will be avenged before you have the last laugh again," the lost man spoke through me. 

Kiara backs away "I-I don't know what you're talking about Shirou I am not a witch just what is wrong with you!" the poor nun exclaimed in confusion. 

I stop the lost man taking a hold of myself 'what are you doing boy have you forgotten what I showed you!!!' he mentally raged. 

'I don't know about you but your wrong even though I just met her I believe that she isn't a witch for crying out loud look at her does a witch cry? Does a witch feel fear as she does right now?' I mentally communicated back causing him to enter a moment of silence until he lets out a loud 'tch! For all you know this could be an act Shirou Emiya or maybe she already has you in her clutches!' he replied. 

'Trust me I know when someone is lying and when someone isn't and from what I am seeing she's being sincere now do me a favor and get the hell out!' I exclaimed taking full control back over my body. 

I collapse down on the ground but was caught by Kiara my eyes were all spotty "I-I am sorry Kiara I-I was confused for a moment I d-didn't mean to do that I was being di-dilussional from m-my injuries," I softly apologized in a guilty tone. 

"I-it's fine Shirou I understand why don't you rest for now then tomorrow we can talk," Kiara hesitantly replied dragging my barely conscious body back to the bed I was resting on earlier "y-yeah I'd like that," I replied with a half-tired smile. 

I didn't see it at the time, but the young nun's cheeks had dusted themselves red from my smile.
