Hi, guys! It's me! Okay, so this Shirou is not the same one from my crossover fics. This is plain Counter Guardian EMIYA (I'm going to write his name as Emiya because it going to get so old).

Alaya was not happy. Humanity was in great danger. A new Holy Grail War had begun and this one was more dangerous than any before. It had fourteen official Servants and 2 non-official Servants, a Ruler class Servant and a reincarnated Servant. Not to mention that one of the Servants has an Anti-World Noble Phantasm. This will not stand.

Unfortunately, when the Holy Grail is involved, it is difficult for both Alaya and Gaia to intervene. The grail can interfere with both of them, weakening their manipulations. Alaya can't even use its ultimate weapons, the Counter Guardians, because of two reasons. One, the grail weakens Alaya so it can't summon an infinite amount of Counter Guardians, and two, a Servant could potentially match the power of a Guardian. Sure Alaya could manipulate the Grail to summon a Counter Guardian for her, but these mages were using catalysts to summon specific Servants so that was a big no.

Alaya looked into the Throne of Heroes, where her most loyal and deadly Counter Guardian. He was an extremely powerful hero, though he was young compared to other Heroic Spirits. He also was a useful Servant with an infinite amount of Noble Phantasms.

Noticing Alaya, Emiya awoke. He stood in his Reality Marble, Unlimited Blade Works. It was a barren wasteland where an infinite amount of swords are protruding from the ground. In the sky, enormous gears floated in the sky.

"What do you want, Alaya?" Emiya said.

Alaya appeared in front of him, taking on the appearance of the Saber Servant, Artoria Pendragon.

"A threat has appeared. You are needed to stop it."

Emiya scoffed. "I don't have a choice do I?"

Alaya appeared behind him in the form of Rin Tohsaka. She put her arms around Emiya and hugged him.

"No," she whispered, "and you won't be able to kill yourself this time."

Emiya blinked. "Freaking 'scuse me?"

This time, Sakura Matou appeared, smiling at Emiya. "Sempai, there isn't a Shirou Emiya in this world. It's in a parallel universe."

Emiya narrowed his eyes. "Wouldn't you need the Kaleidoscope to do something like that?"

Alaya appeared as Illyasviel von Einzbern, who sat on a larger sword. "Stupid Oni-chan! Only humans would need the Kaleidoscope. I don't have such weakness."

Emiya sighed. "Is it necessary to take on those appearances?"

Alaya, as the Rider Medusa appeared, relaxing in the shadow of an extremely large sword. "Of course. I have no true form so it's necessary. Anyways, I need to inform you of something extremely important. I will provide you the power to summon Servants."

Emiya stared at Alaya. "You want me to summon Servants? Why? Couldn't you just summon more Counter Guardians?"

Bazett Fraga McRemitz appeared beside him. "The threat is extreme. There are sixteen Servants involved, one with an EX Anti-World Noble Phantasm."

Emiya shuddered. He remembered the EX Anti-World Noble Phantasm, Ea. That was a terrifying sword. If another Noble Phantasm like that existed, that terrified him.

"Fine," Emiya said. "I'll do my best."

This time, Caren Hortensia appeared in front of him, wearing a terrifying, teasing smirk. "Good. Good luck."

So I've already planned on the Servants I'm going to give EMIYA. I hope you all really like the choices I've made.
