Unlimited Shirou Works

A/N: I wrote Shirou's Aria from scratch. With help from Tiger3rd and Zephyr F. Hope you like it! Thanks!!

Previously...

You know what you have to do. You grimace as you begin the all-too-familiar Aria, "I am the bone of my sword." Gilgamesh scoffs, "Whatever trick you have up your sleeve Mongrel, it won't work. But go ahead and try. Let's see what you got."

"Steel is my body, and fire is my blood." Upon completion of the second verse, pain shoots through your body as thousands of swords knit your wound. "You think your pathetic magecraft can help you now? You really just are an idiot." Gilgamesh mocks.

His words strike a chord.. and make your remember. All the times you were called that very name for trying to be a hero. You speak the next lines of your incantation as if you're talking to both Gilgamesh and yourself. "Many consider me an idiot/For pursuing foolish ideals."

More of your circuits activate as an image of Illya, Rin, Rider, and Taiga appears next to you. A gentle smile forms on your lips as you think of them. "But I am a hero to those I protect."

A vivid scene of countless swords. Illya cheering you on in the background as all her Mana is linked into yours. "I have withstood pain to create countless weapons."

Finally, the fully formed image of Rider.. and the love you feel. "So these hands can hold what's precious." All your circuits activate as Rin's crest flares, drawing more circuit lines along your face. It's here. It's time. You open your eyes to see an inpatient Gilgamesh.

Now come forth, Unlimited Blade Works!" You exclaim.
