A/N: Hey, all! Welcome to this new story I'm starting! You know, I'm really not sure how I came up with the idea for these two series crossing over. I just know I thought, 'Shirou in the MHA world... BOOM!'. And then I went to see if there were any crossovers. Sadly, none of them were exactly what I wanted. Nothing against the authors, it's just that they didn't use the Shirou I wanted in this world. I wanted to see Miyuverse Shirou here instead of the versions they decided to go with.
Also, just a heads up, I've only seen the anime of My Hero, and I've only seen the anime of Fate/Kaleid. I read some of the manga with Shirou's flashback story, although, it was really only the last couple chapters of his story. I'll definitely read all of the chapters of his flashback story after I watch the movie!
And, the title is a work in progress. If any of you can think of something better, it would be much appreciated.
Disclaimer: I don't own My Hero Academia or the Fate/Series. I really only write these disclaimers for fun, as I'm quite certain they are unnecessary.
"I wish upon the Holy Grail."
"Allow me to pay you back... with all the swords I have in stock!"
"I pray you find a world where you won't have to suffer any longer."
"Return to the beginning... Enuma Elish!"
"I pray you find kind people."
"It's futile! Even if you pile all of your blades together, they are no match for the strongest sword!
"I pray you find friends you can laugh with."
"Yeah... you got that right."
"I pray you find a warm, small...
"There are times when just one thing can outweigh everything else."
"Share of happiness."
Then, it happened. He felt a very important connection had been cut. It was always a mystery to him. He never understood how he survived those seven battles, nor where all his prana came from, but now... now he finally understood. The one who kept him going... the one who provided him with strength... was Miyu.
In that moment, right when the connection was severed, right before the blast from EA hit him, as his inner world began to shatter, everything went black.
Footsteps. He heard footsteps coming from above. If they were coming from above, that meant he was lying down. The feel of a surface pressed against his back would seem to confirm that. The steps were quiet, and the vibrations transmitted through the ground were small, someone was trying to sneak up on him.
He immediately jumped up, projecting Bakuya in his right hand. As he got on his feet, he threw the blade toward the one approaching him. He threw it down near the person's feet, warning them not to come any closer. He quickly projected Kanshou in his left hand, and with a scowl, he faced the stranger.
He scanned the area, no one was around. When he looked down at his thrown Bakuya, he realized what the footsteps were. Next to the blade impaled in the ground, a small mouse stood, seemingly shocked by the sudden actions. Within several seconds, the mouse let out a panicked squeak and ran away.
Realizing he wasn't in danger, his expression softened. He sighed, allowing his projected weapons to fade from existence.
'Where am I?' he wondered. He looked around, taking in his surroundings. Brick wall... brick wall... garbage... 'I'm in an alleyway...?'
That was strange. He was in the middle of... well, last thing he remembered, he was not in the city. He was kind of around a mountain and all... Indeed, this was strange.
He reached his hand up to scratch his head, but when his hand reached it, he felt a familiar cloth wrapped around it.
"What the...?" he muttered.
He brought both his arms up, examining them. His right arm was bare, but a red sleeve ran down his left arm. He quickly lowered his arms, examining his body next. His upper and lower half were dressed in primarily black clothing. His outfit... it was the same as the one he wore when he installed the archer class card.
"But why?" As far as he knew, the card was no longer with him, yet he was dressed in this outfit?
He wasn't given much time to ponder on this, as the earth shook at the sound of a thud. He lifted his head, staring out of the alley. Many children were running pass the two buildings he stood between. Projecting Kanshou and Bakuya, he ran out to face the threat the children were running from.
Upon exiting the alleyway, he looked around for this threat. When his eyes found it, though, he was left in complete shock.
"What the... what is that!?" A large mechanical creature stood in the distance. It's height was greater than most of the buildings around.
He looked down at the two swords he held.
"I don't think these will be very effective in this situation..." he muttered.
He released his grip on the twin swords, allowing them to vanish as they left his hand. Calling forth his bow, he raised his right hand, ready to project a certain item. But before he projected it, he realized something.
'Tch... I can't use something like that in the middle of a city. There would be too much collateral damage, and the loss of innocent life would be unavoidable.'
Then, he would have to see how well it could hold up against his regular arrows. Though they may be weaker compared to that other thing, they were still very strong in their own right.
He lifted his left arm, preparing his bow. He reached over to the string with his right hand, drawing the bow. Aiming at the large creature, he released the string, allowing an arrow to fly. Testing the effect his normal arrows would have against the creature, he only shot out one.
The arrow pierced through the metal, the force of the attack leaving a decent sized hole through the beast. The size of the hole wasn't much in comparison to the size of the creature, but his arrows were still strong enough to damage this thing. If he could focus his arrows at the creature's head, he should be able destroy the thing. However, his attack on it seemed to get him noticed by it, causing it to target him. It wouldn't matter though, he would end this before it could do anything.
He pulled back the string again, letting fly over a dozen arrows at the metal beast. Each arrow struck its head, close enough to each other that the holes of each arrow combined with each other to make a much larger hole. Yet, even with all that damage done to the thing, even as a large hole went through its head, it remained standing, still capable of movement.
Seeing as his attacks hardly fazed the thing, he decided to abandon the plan of pelting it with arrows. It looked like it was time for plan B.
He ran closer to the metallic beast, staying far enough out of its reach. Then again, if it had some sort of long distance attack, then he wasn't out of its reach... He ignored that thought. If it could hit him from a distance, it would have done so by now.
He jumped up, landing atop a building. He took off running, leaping onto another building. He jumped from building to building, getting himself closer to the thing. With his speed it didn't take him long to reach it. Once he reached the appropriate distance, still not giving the thing time to act, he launched himself up into the air, high above the large creature.
A long sword. He needed a really long sword. He searched through his inner world, looking for one he could use without causing much destruction to the city around him. He passed by many, many swords. Some holy, some demonic, some extraordinary, some just ordinary, then... he found it. He found the right sword.
He raised his hand. "Trace on!" A long blade, one well over ten times his height, appeared above his head. He grabbed on to the handle of that blade with both his hands.
Gravity began to pull him down, bringing him closer and closer to the beast. As his body rapidly approached the thing, he readied himself to swing the sword.
The thing began to lift its head, finally realizing where he had disappeared to, but... it was too late.
Once he was close enough for the attack, he used his whole body to swing the sword down. The length of the blade was just long enough that it could reach from one side of the thing to the other. In other words, it was a sword just long enough for him to slice this creature in half. He and the sword were continually pulled closer to the ground, causing the blade to slice through the beast from head to... metaphorical toe.
His feet reaching the ground, he bent his knees as he landed. He looked up at the creature from his crouched position, releasing the sword and allowing it to disappear.
The creature stayed still, making no movements. He and the creature stayed in silence for a few moments, before the two halves of the thing split apart and fell onto the roads to its sides.
Seeing the creature defeated, he let out a sigh, falling out of his crouched position and taking a seat on a piece of rubble behind him.
With the battle over, he took a look around him. The kids that had been running from the thing were now standing off in the distance, staring upon him with wide eyes. He couldn't blame them, if he was an ordinary person, witnessing all of this would be a little overwhelming. Luckily, no one would likely believe these kids if they claimed a man brought a large sword out of nowhere and destroyed the machine. Keeping magecraft a secret from the world was still possible. Now, he just needed to figure out why the heck something like this was rampaging in the city...
However, before he could do anything else, multiple people dressed in very... strange clothing, appeared before him. Some had seemingly appeared out of nowhere, others had come running from some of the roads. The one standing directly in front of him was a tall, muscular, blonde man with a large grin adorning his face. Looking back at each person surrounding him, he realized each and every one of them were ready to fight should he attack them.
"Don't move." the blonde man ordered him.
Without much else he could do, he simply raised his hands to surrender. Perhaps they could shed some light on what was going on. After all, one more thing he realized now that the threat was gone... he didn't recognize this city at all.
A/N: Alright, let's end it here. I hope you all enjoyed this prologue.
So, I'm going to need a few things from you readers, that is, if you want to help. I'm going to need you all to help me decide some things.
/
First, let's start with Shirou's appearance. I was thinking his skin and hair would be their normal color. But do you guys think I should leave his skin and hair the same as it was after his fight with Angelica, or have his skin completely tan and his hair completely white, or have his skin and hair be the normal color like I had planned?
Second, let's talk about what will happen to him in this world. I'm only talking about short term, nothing he'll be doing in the long term. I can't decide whether or not I want him to become a pseudo-student at UA, become a teacher of sorts at UA, or have him escape and become some sort of wandering vigilante guy. The wandering vigilante guy thing seems like the most unlikely, but you guys let me know your thoughts on which route I should have him pursue. To be clear, in the Shirou student route, Shirou will still involve himself in acts of vigilantism.
Edit: I would like to thank everyone for all the feedback on these things. Thanks to you all, I've come to a decision as to what I should do. I hope that I can write a story that will be enjoyable to all of you.

Third, if any of you are really into the Fate series, you have all the need to know knowledge on all the workings of the series and such, be sure to let me know. I may need to message you to enlighten me as I write this, as I'm pretty much just a casual Fate fan. Not an easy task being a casual fan of this series...
Finally, this isn't me asking for help, this is me informing you about the updating of this story. I don't know how often updates for this story will come, I currently have a couple other ongoing stories posted on this site, and then I have several stories I haven't posted yet that I want to focus on, so this will probably be pushed onto the back burner. I'll be writing this when I feel like it, is pretty much what I'm saying. But that gives me time to work some things out, and it gives you guys time to help me decide the things I asked for help on :)
With that all said, I'll see you guys next time!
