Decisions made, paths taken and mediums that stimulate change.
-F/D-
Inside the Emiya's resident storage, gold meets red as the gold haired servant faces the red haired magus; an ephemeral scene that lasted forever in the mind of the knight as actions are made and done and words exchange from one to another.
"I ask of you, are you my master?"
"Welcome home, Caster,"
"Eh?"
"Huh?"
The servant stared at her master and the master whose eyes were closed earlier stared back at the servant with shock.
It sure was a meeting set by fate that didn't end well.
-F/D-
"HELP ME!"
"DON'T LEAVE US!"
In the middle of the night, the red haired magus named Shirou Emiya wakes from a familiar and recurring dream. The dream of the fire that engulf the city ten years ago.
"…those dream again..."
Shirou rose from the floor to see that he once again slept inside the storage room.
"Better head back to my room or I'll never hear the end of it with Fuji-nee..."
Tough sleeps allude Shirou earlier on as he is being reminded one again of that nightmarish experience he once again fall asleep and dream its continuation, the time where he is save and adopted by his now deceased father.
"Hmmm... eeek!"
Waking up on a somewhat bitter sweet dream, Shirou shrieks like a little girl being thrown into a tiger's den. Scratch that. He woke up IN a tiger's den.
"Good morning, Shirou,"
His guardian Fujimura Taiga greeted him with an aura of doom enveloping her and both hands holding a sinister looking shinai. Said shinai's tip is planted on the tatami floor while its other end being hold and ready to strike.
That being said, it is fairly peaceful in the Emiya household.
"Seriously, Shirou," Taiga grumbled as she chow down the breakfast that was left behind by a certain violet haired kohai.
"I know Fuji-nee, I swear it won't happen again." Shirou replied apologetically across the dining table.
"You better wake up early or we're leaving you behind tomorrow."
"Speaking of being late," Shirou replied. "Don't you need to go to school early in the morning?"
"Oh crap!"
Taiga looked at the clock and quickly devours her meal with furiously before dashing off the house.
Divergence Path:
The next day, Shirou woke up early as promised. Cook their breakfast and prepares his bento for the school trip.
Homurahara Academy students left for a three day and two nights.
The same day, a woman in her early twenties with short magenta hair and wears a two piece black business suit book in a hotel in Fuyuki city.
After the trip, days passed by with no major incident happening minus the small encounter with a white haired foreigner and a customer that dropped an earring from the shop he work at.
Homurahara schoold ground
That however suddenly changes after witnessing the clash of blue and red. Shirou saw a blue haired man in blue tight suit wielding a sinister red lance and a white haired man in red outfit holding two identical short swords. The fight rage on as the spear-man swiftly dash, trust and strike while the white haired dual wielder who continue to recreate the very same sword he wields after the blue spear-man destroys them. For some reason the way the white swordsman project its weapon is similar to his experiments back in the storage room.
"Who's there?"
The fight came to a halt when the blue spear-man in blue tights look at Shirou's way.
Instinct of impending doom far greater than the time with Fuji-nee made Shirou took a step back before running inside the school building of all things.
"Huff...gasp...wheeze..." Shirou gasp for air after running with all his at his back to see if the dangerous person is there.
Am I safe now?
"Hey, you run pretty far but you can't escape a servant that easily."
Shirou paused and looked at the man at his front. Noticing he is not holding his red spear, his mind goes into overdrive to use this little opportunity to find a way out.
But alas! His last remaining luck runs out.
*swish*
"You saw us, so die."
In a split second, the person vanishes from his sight only for him to reapper a few feet from him just as he was pierced by the very same red spear made that came out of nowhere.
"You were just unlucky kid."
He struggle with few weak movements before everything went black.
"Ack!"
"Haaah…. Haaaah…."
Somewhere inside one of the building of the school, 1st floor
How can I be careless?!
Rin Tohsaka, a woman 16 of age with a black wavy hairstyle, wearing a twin tail using two black ribbons, a slender body lacking any remarkable chest-
"What did you just said?"
And her trademark red coat, contemplates on the event that had happen thus far.
"Archer, have you found Lancer already?"
"They are at the second floor,"
Please let me make it in time… damn it! I'm a failure as a master.
Upon reaching their destination, Rin saw Archer blocking her path.
"Archer?" Rin asked only for the red serant to step aside for Rin to have a realization of her life.
"No… nononono! Why does it have to be you?" Rin cried as she slump to the floor beside a certain carcas.
Looking at the unfortunate bystander who is now soaked with his own blood, lying on his chest where he has been stabbed, Rin curse her own helplessness.
This is not part of the plan. Why does it have to be you of all the idot out there?
"Eh?"
Turning him up, and gently touching the stab wounds on his chest, she noticed that his heart is still breathing, albeit weakly.
"He's still alive!"
It's such a waste but I have to do this.
Taking the gem in her left pocket, the one that she used to summon Archer, she placed it on his chest. and starts chanting
A few minutes later,
"A dream... no..."
The moment Shirou regain consciousness, his initiate response was to jolt back up and touch his chest where he just got stabbed only to find it fully healed up and a red gem lay beside him.
Seeing the pool of blood that gives the vibe of a crime scene.
"Better clean this up first," Shirou said in monotone. "Otherwise they would think that someone was killed here... scratch that someone was killed here..."
I was killed here that's for certain but how did I survive?
Earlier that night, just as Shirou witness two superhuman fought, a man in his mid thirties arrived at Fuyuki City while riding a limo. Next to him is a servant clad in armor from head to toe.
"So this is the city where father participated before," the servant said with voice full of confidence and anticipation. "This war is good as won with me by your side master."
"Do not be over confident, Mordred. Based on Lord El Meloi's statements the participants of the war include Iskandar, Diarmun, Lancelot and even Gilgamesh."
"Yet he still won," Mordered replied as a matter of fact. "Anything he can do, I can do better, Just watch me."
Somehwere in Fuyuki residential area
"Hmm?"
While continuing his search once more for other servants to fight, Lancer saw someone that should be dead by now. Said individual has red hair with blood stained shirt. Landing at the top of an electric pole, Lancer survey the area monitor the lad as he enters an old Japanese estate.
"C'mon now, my image as a heroic spirit would be tarnish by this."
Lancer scratch the back of his head with an irritated look
This is definitely not my day…
Emiya residence.
"Just what was that?
Shirou sank into the sofa of the living room remembering and making sense of the event that just happened. He was deep in thought until the sound of the door bell rings was heard.
"Who could be it this late at night? Fuji-nee? Sakura? No..."
Shirou's danger sense is telling him not to go so he took the closes possible weapon he could use as the situation turns from bad to worse when the house's bounded field went off.
"Trace on, basic quality analyze."
Shirou reinforced the poster he receive from Taiga to the sturdiness of baseball bat hoping this is enough.
"I never thought I'd kill you twice in the same in a day."
Shirou can only curse his luck and like the cornered mouse that he is, he swings his sword to the blue spearman only for it to be parried effortlessly.
"Ho? A magus without a servant, huh?"
*thud*
*swoosh*
He kicks the soon to be dead magus on his stomach followed by a slash from his spear which the victim manages to evade.
The fight or should we say game of cat and mouse continues until the red head magus is cornered in the estate's storage room.
"Give it up kid,"he said seriously. "There's no way a normal human like you can fight a servant."
Servant?
"Considering you are also a magus, I better end it for you before you summon your own servant."
Servant? Summon? What is he talking about?
Shirou, who's at the other end of the storage looked at this weird spearman or servant that is blocking his exit, with wrench in hand, he had no choice but to use that.
"Your eyes tell me that you're still willing to fight." The blue servant sighted. "Very well I'll give you a proper end for a foolish brave man like you. C'mon."
This is it
Shirou took something from his left pocket and throws it to the servant in front before charging in with his right firmly grasping a wrench.
"Eh?"
The thing in question that Shirou threw is a piece of earring that was left by a customer in one of his part time job. Seriously though, he didn't actually expect for it to have an effect.
Clinging on that small glimpse of hope, Shirou swung his wrench in to the servant only to be head butted by a clearly pissed spear-man.
"YOU!"
"Ack!"
*BAM*
Shirou staggers backward by the force of the head-butts before having his arm slashed and his body to be forcefully pushed in to the wall.
With the tip of the spear touching the floor, not noticing that they are inside the magic circle. He look at the magus with eyes mad with fury.
"WHERE DID YOU GET THAT?!"
Before Shirou could answer, a drop of his blood fell and the floor they are standing glow.
*swoosh*
"Oh you've gotta be kidding me!" the blue spear-man exclaim. "You?!"
The appearance of a new individual and the sudden attack the blue servant forced him to withdraw out of the storage.
Shirou slumped onto the floor and look at the person who save his life only to be mesmerized be her long purple hair and red eyes that reflects a strong will and deep sorrow.
*doki*
"Boy, are you my master?"
"Huh?"
"Fair enough," The woman holding a mage staff as tall as her looked at his dumbfounded expression and slowly reddening face before looking at his right hand. The symbol on the back of his hand is enough of an answer for her.
"Stay there, master as I handle that insolent pup."
*dadadadada*
The woman dash out of the shed and confront the blue servant.
"Of the entire servant that can be summoned, that boy had to summon you! Is that even possible?!"
"What would you do now, Lancer?"
*swish*
*thud*
*bam*
The woman fought evenly with the blue spearman as Shirou watch their skirmish while leaning on the edge of the door.
"I would like to continue our fight but my coward of a master is telling me to go, you're lucky old hag."
The lancer servant jump backwards and landed at the estate wall before he copletely leaves the premise.
"Who are you?"
Shirou asked a soon as the mysterious woman turned his way.
"I'm the servant you've summoned." The woman said as she quickly supports his body, much to his embarrassment as her bountiful chest touches his right shoulder blade. "You can call me Caster, Master."
"Master as in me?"
"Yes,"
"Can you call me by my name instead?"
"No problem. So what should I call you from now on?"
"I'm Shirou Emiya, you can just call me Shirou instead."
"Vey well Mas... er, Shirou"
At a certain hotel the same time Shirou summoned his servant.
"What do we have here?" the woman said devoid of emotions. "Did I drop it elsewhere?"
Searching from drawers to closet, the woman with long silver hair wearing a nun's dress keep her search while the real unconscious occupant of the room lay with pained expression
"Oh well, not that the earring would be of use anyway."

Aaaaaaaannnd cut!
So that's for the first chapter of Fate/Divergence path C-S.
As events of Zero are canonical, in this grail war, under normal circumstances, Shirou is likely to summon variation of Arthuria (minus the joke versions) for the Saber and Lancer class. Rider class also possible considering Arthuria Lancer rides a horse and they have B rank Riding skill. For the Caster Class it is possible for him to summon Merlin, the Lady of the Lake and Morgan le Fay considering the grail is corrupted.
Divergence point is thus introduced to circumvent the inevitable for him to summon a different servant. For this case, the Saber, Lancer and Rider Class have already been taken.
For instances where Caster = Not Medea, a different master would take the place of Atrum Galliasta.
The identity of the servant, some might already have a guess on who she is given the color of her hair and eyes and the comment Lancer, the hound of Chulainn is a dead give a way but for the story's sake, her servant profile would be as such.
As for the first part with Saber Arthuria, let's leave it like that for the time being.
