Intertwined Fates: Prologue

.

The last thing I could remember was a bright light that engulfed me. It followed with the sound of a million voices, whispering or screaming. It was then I felt a huge impulse of gravity and fell down, until I dropped on the ground with a huge thud.

"Hmm…not what I have expected, but this will do." I heard a familiar voice.

I opened my eyes and the first thing I notice was the hard pavement I seemed to have fallen to and was now lying down. I moved my hand and felt it for a little bit, and it was rough, like sand paper. The next thing I notice was the familiar figure standing in front of me. His back was facing me and his prideful figure was looking out beyond whatever was out there. He was blocking my view.

"You look worn out. Has the journey perhaps tired you out?"

He turned around and just by gazing upon his being, I now remember who he is. He had blonde hair, with his red eyes looking down at me. He was half naked with his chest decorated in red tattoos and only the lower half of his body is clad in his golden armor. It's Gilgamesh, my servant that I have contracted with in the Holy Grail War and…wait...what, what the heck happened?! I remember that I won the Holy Grail War, entered the Moon Cell, dissolved into nothingness and then…and then…

"Where the heck am I?!" were the first words that I had to burst out.

Gilgamesh chuckled, "This place, here? It's another planet, many light years away from Earth. The Moon Cell said that it would not accept you and it would delete you no matter what. So I took you, abandoned the Moon Cell, and transported myself out of that miserable place.

"Well, I did not expect to end up in such a depressing environment, but it has the necessities for our survival. So this would do."

I looked around, and noticed how he was right about what he said. The place was dark and most of the it covered with the fog. There were small townhouses at the sides with trees and small benches. A road paved it's way up to what seemed to be a mysterious-looking church. The dim streetlights lit up in the night. I noted on how the place was quiet…a little too quiet.

I took a deep sigh, "I…have no idea what to say, but, thank you…and you're crazy, you know."

The king laughs, "Hahaha! Crazy, me? Oh no, I am doing what I think I should. I was not satisfied with what bestowed before me back at the Moon Cell, so I decided to take you with me. And, I want you to experience one thing you lacked, 'pleasure'."

He extends his hand to me and grins, "Even in such a meek place, we must experience the wonders this place has to offer us. Now, Hakuno, my Master, let us journey through the darkness and shower it with radiance!"

I swear, from listening to his speech, that his entire being was glowing like he was the sun. But, he does have a point, I am curious on what this place is and I am feeling quite excited to find out what I can do here. I reach out to him and hold onto his hand with a smile on my face. I nod and he grins, and we start running down the hill together.

.

Okay, so perhaps the first few hours did not go well, as the dark bored Gilgamesh to death. But he tried his best to not take heed on such matters, and tried to explore at every nook and cranny this place has. We cross the big red bridge to another area that seems to be an even quieter place than the one we were in. But, we journey onwards to wherever we might go to.

The place is now filled with small houses, either Western styled or Japanese styled. I walk a little further to the direction of the Japanese-styled houses. Just when we take our first step, came a loud yet indistinct scream. I cover my ears at the pain the scream seemed to have given me. Beside me, I notice Gilgamesh's expression changed the moment he heard the scream.

The scream stopped, I uncover my ears, and run to Gilgamesh's side. He is now completely clad in his signature golden armor, with his blonde hair spiked up, and looking at the horizon. I turn to see what he is looking at and I see the back of two figures, one small and one big. The big figure was humungous and tall. He almost looked…inhumane.

"I must have misinterpreted my departure from the Moon Cell, Hakuno. We must run, because I sense the presence of a Servant."

.

"Oh! What is this?" I hear a voice and the small figure turn to look at us. It was a little girl with white hair and crimson eyes. She was wearing a purple coat, a light purple scarf, purple boots and completed with a small purple winter hat at the top of her head. "Another Master has appeared, hm? But aren't there already seven servants?"

She giggled and bowed down, "Well, it is nice to meet you. I am Illyasviel von Einzbern, the Einzbern representative of the Fifth Holy Grail War. And, Berserker, kill them now."

F-Fifth Holy Grail War…?! Didn't I just go through that War hours ago, won, nearly disappeared from existence, and let my Servant whip me up in this unknown world? Before I could question what she meant, I felt something heavy grab on hold to me and started to run while holding me. I found myself on Gilgamesh's back, my arms wrapped around his neck and my legs wrapped on his waist. It took me awhile to realize that Gilgamesh was heading straight for the little girl and her Servant. He summoned his Gate of Babylon and many different weapons from swords to axes to spears appeared from the golden circles.

"Hakuno, why didn't you react when the mongrel ordered her Servant to attack us!? We need to escape immediately and leave!"

It was then I watched as a huge axe fell onto his path and he paused for a mere second from running. He changed his direction to the right and sprinted once more. His gaze fell upon to the huge Servant, who was chasing them. With a flick of his finger and a grin, the swords rained down on the Servant. Berserker screams as each sword pierced to his skin, but he kept running after us.

He turns away and makes a dash once more, but this time, away from the Einzbern girl and her Servant. His movements were more faster and abrupt right now. In a few minutes, we seemed that we have finally escaped from them...for now. I shiver in fright from looking and even thinking of the Servant, Berserker. Odd, I thought the Holy Grail War was over, could it be it takes place everywhere?

"G-Gilgamesh, aren't the Grail Wars supposed to be over?" I ask, a little worried that more 'potential' Masters might detect our presence.

"I am sure that the one from the Moon Cell is." Gilgamesh says and stops running. We seem to be near a school, "Let us retire for the night in this place. It bears a slight resemblance from that school you attended, Haku-"

He stopped talking and turned around whilst summoning his Gate of Babylon again. He looks up and I see someone from afar, approaching us, while holding on what seems to be an invisible weapon. As it comes closer, I notice the yellow raincoat that covered the figure flew away. It revealed a blonde-haired woman clad in blue and white armor. Her green eyes lock onto my Servant with anger, gripping her weapon and lunging it forward to his chest.

"Gate of Babylon!" Gilgamesh shouts and swords immediately fly to the direction of the woman. Using her invisible weapon, she swings it around to let the swords fly away in all directions except to her.

"I did not expect to see you after ten years, O King of Heroes. But now, your weapons won't work on me any longer, Archer!" she shouts and jumps up to the sky, raising her weapon to attack Gilgamesh. Before Gilgamesh could summon more weapons and she would swing down her weapon, I heard the voice of a young boy shouting at his servant.

"Saber!"

The woman immediately stops. She falls to the ground on her feet yet she still holds her weapon tightly. The young boy appears, and with him, is a somehow familiar looking girl. The boy has ginger-colored hair and golden-brown eyes while the girl has brown hair tied to pigtails and turquiose eyes. The servant called Saber, glares at the boy with an annoyed expression on her face.

"…Shirou."

A/N: Hello! I'm (not particularly) new here in fanfiction but I have been wondering around the Fate universe for awhile and decided to make an account here to, well, write. I mostly take writing as a hobby and I usually do it during my free time. So anyways, I kinda made this a little after I finished reading through Fate/Extra CCC translations. I adapted some stuff said in the Gil's ending though. Also, I might have made Gil a little OOC? And maybe Hakuno too? I'll improve on it later on, I promise, haha;;;

Also, this takes place in the Unlimited Blade Works route! Well, the third night of it until that part. I'll be blending in stuff from both the visual novel and the anime sooo yeah.

Well, that's it! Do tell me your thoughts on this and see you in the next chapter!

edit: ooh, i kind of forgot to mention but, this entire story will be in Hakuno's POV unless stated otherwise!
