Flashback
It had been two weeks since Shirou returned to Chaldea.
One month since he fought alongside the inhabitants of a Prism Dimension world designated as "DxD" against a terrible being that seeked to destroy their world.
A Prism Dimension greatly differs from a Singularity or a Lostbelt in a sense that they are for the most part self-contained parallel worlds that are not related or connected to the Greater History of Man. According to Zelretch, they are parallel worlds farthest away from the center of the Kaleidoscope. Given their greater distance from the center of the Kaleidoscope, they were least or not affected by the Greater History of Man at all, thus they diverged even further away from the main timelines of parallel worlds closest to the center of the Kaleidoscope. Some of these worlds mutated greatly in different directions of development that humans either remained weak, never progressed beyond a certain technological or magical age, died out early, or even never conceptualized in these Prism Dimensions. Sometimes these Prism Dimensions would eventually fade out of existence themselves and when they do, their disappearance does not trigger a ripple effect across the Kaleidoscope much. Hence, it was why in a Prism Dimension world designated "DxD" the Age of Gods never ended and DxD humanity took a backseat to mythological and magical factions such as Heaven, Grigori, and the Underworld. It also explained such baffling things like why DxD Excalibur was weak enough to shatter into seven different pieces while the Excaliburs of Artorias and Arthur were unbreakable NP forged as Last Phantasms to protect the World.
Although Shirou was told that he spent one Chaldea week in DxD, for him it felt like he spent close to a year being there. The people he met and the things he experienced he would never forget about them. It all started when Shirou and his Servant team along with others Masters and Servant teams waged war against the Cyphers. Shirou was just one of six other Masters; the others being Hakuno Kishinami (nicknamed "Hakunon"), Ayaka Sajyou, Sieg, Ritsuka Fujimaru, and lastly a strange somewhat airheaded civilian girl named Gudako who came from who knows where. Some were present at Chaldea and were there from the start; others they picked up along the way. Together with these 5 other Masters, Shirou went and participated in many Singularities and Lostbelts. However, being being sent to investigate a potential Lostbelt world, Shirou ended up Rayshifting to what unknown world that only the Root of Akasha knows without his Servant teams - the Artoria Pendragons who loved him with all their hearts, and his precious Emiya family reunited from across time and space. This was where his adventure into uncharted waters of a Prism Dimension "DxD" would start.
It began with his first meeting with that world's version of God, meeting Xenovia at that fated Church Creek, the Holy Sword Selection Trial that made him recognized as an upcoming Saint. Then his exploratory adventure would sent him to Kuoh Town in Japan would accelerate things further to where he went from being upcoming prodigious Sword Saint of the Church Creek, to the second coming of God, and then being declared the reincarnation of Marbas, the Last Demon of that world and lovelife of Serafall Leviathan. The unusual trinity he represented - Human, God, and Demon - would make him the undisputed leader of the entire Biblical factions of Heaven, Grigori, and Underworld together. Working to unite DxD world's mythical and magical factions for the impending return of Trihexa, Shirou worked to overcome many challenges thrown his way from others who would oppose him and the peace he would bring to that world. Of course, conflicts and battles with other factions were not his only challenge as Shirou amassed a following of women who came to love him, the top two being Xenovia (his Demi-Servant Saber and Heavenly Wife) and Serafall (his Underworld Devil Wife). The two were the most loving and devoted to him compared to the other women whom he unwittingly had them falling for him. Though to be honest, as much as Shirou acknowledged the love those particular two had for him, his heart would always be with his beloved Artoria Pendragons. He had hoped that playing ignorance would get the other women interested in him to lose interest, but sadly his E rank Luck and (according to Issei Hyoudou, his absurdly ridiciously EX rank "Harem Protagonist" Skill) made that impossible. Some of those women even ended up becoming his Demi-Servants over the course of his adventure, including Serafall herself who didn't want to lose out to Xenovia in this particular area.
However, despite all the fun and excitement he seemed to have on his adventure, it would eventually end when Shirou and his coalition, consisting of an alliance between various mythological and magical factions who banned together to fight the Khaos Brigade and later on the Trihexa. Surprisingly enough, some gods and other mythological and magical beings and factions chose to throw their lot in with Khaos Brigade, as they would rather the world burn and humanity incinerated than see the Age of Gods come to an end. By throwing their lot with the Khaos Brigade, they hope to maintain or even expand their power, influence, and dominion over what's left of Earth and humanity after they destroy Shirou and his coalition. The opposition from Khaos Brigade was tremendous, for some of their most powerful fighters were strengthened by fragments of a foreign Grail that Shirou and the other Chaldea Masters often encountered in the Singularities and Lostbelts. Shirou and his side fought well, but in the end not even the mount of firepower they had on their side was enough once Trihexa was fully free from the seals that bind it. His power as God and Demon combined with his Demi-Servants were not enough to defeat Trihexa. Shirou was exhausted and could only watch in despair when Trihexa seemingly unleashed its most powerful attack against him and his Demi-Servants, Xenovia and Serafall rushing to his side to try to protect him.
However, a miracle had manifested in a form of outside intervention, courtesy of Zelretch with the help from Great Red. Great Red had previously used a captured Grail foreign to his world to open a link to Chaldea. The link was weak but with Zelretch's help, Great Red was able to connect to Chaldea. Shirou's disappearance back in his world prompted Chaldea to seek the aid of Zelretch to help locate Shirou among the endless Kaleidoscopic seas of parallel worlds. Chaldea's machines got a lock on Shirou's signal on a parallel world designated Prism Dimension "DxD", but Rayshifting would be uncertain as it was a long way in the dimensional rift between Chaldea and DxD world where Shirou was at. Zelretch with the help of Great Red would help open a gap in the dimensional trail to allow Chaldea to Rayshift Masters and Servants to DxD. As they were being Rayshifted through the dimensional rift, they were in danger of being thrown off the path and scattering to different parallel worlds. They got to DxD thanks to the subtle and hidden help of Dr. Romani Archaman (aka Solomon the King of Magic from their own world) who hides himself the distance helping to guide the Masters and Servants to DxD.
Shirou closed his eyes, ready to meet his demise as he wrapped his arms around Xenovia and Serafall, hoping to at least shield them somehow as Trihexa unleashed its ultimate attack. His hopes to rise ever so slightly when he saw two figures stepped in front of him and his Demi-Servants, the backs of their silhouettes familiar to him as they invoke their Noble Phantasm.
"The place that cures all the wound and dissolves all the hatred, our home, sits here! Manifest, Lord Camelot!"
"Defend my brethren, my banner! God is here with me...Luminosité Eternelle!"
Shirou and his Demi-Servants had survived Trihexa's ultimate attack unscathed. They didn't understand what just happened until Shirou pointed to the sky. There was a dimensional hole opened up a strangely yet seemingly familair ring of light commonly seen in Singularities as Heroic Spirits poured out into the DxD world led by the Chaldea Masters into battle. Shirou finally understood its implications when he hears the voice of a certain Saint who resembled his beloved Saber.
"Hear me! O' Heroic Spirits! Almighty Warriors whom have gathered upon here!Even if we were in strange worlds, even if our timeline and history don't align with this world's, now is when you entrust your backs to one another! We are not here to prevent the incineration of this offshoot of humanity, but to open a path for our one of our contractors! My true name is Jeanne D'Arc! In the name of the Lord, I shall become your shield!"
Shirou's courage and resolve was fired up seeing an army of Servants and his fellow Masters showing up to his aid. The Jeanne of DxD world could only look at the Heroic Spirit version of her ancestor, fully mesmerised as she took in all her eyes the majestic image of the Maid of Orleans and with her Holy Banner raised high. Alongside her, another person who seems to resemble a darker version of Jeanne d'Arc with her Unholy Banner too raised high and a seemingly smaller and younger version of the darker counterpart at the center with her own simple banner. The Saint, the mini Santa, and the Dragon Witch rallying their Master and lover, Sieg, and the rest of his Servant team to their position. She would never have a chance to meet and talk to her ancestor nor will she ever have a chance at redemption, for the Dragon Witch looked upon her with dismissive yet hateful scorn and decided her fate then and there.
"This is the howl of my soul filled with hatred! La Grondement du Haine!"
And thus, DxD Jeanne was no more as she was incinerated by the unholy flames and stabbed through with multiple spears.
The arrival of Chaldea Masters and Servants turned the tide of battle in favor of Shirou's side. It was a sight to remember. The Hero Faction was getting decimated by Servant counterparts while Altera unleashed her Photon Ray against enemy gods while screaming about this entire world being "bad civilization". Some of the enemy gods that sided with Khaos Brigade also got their decimated by their Nasuverse Divine Spirits such as Artemis, Ishtar and Ereshkigal, Parvati, Scathach, Skaði, and other Heroic Spirits with demigod attribute. Enemy youkai got utterly wrecked by Ibaraki-douji, Shuten-douji, Minamoto no Raikou, and Sakata Kintoki. All versions of Gilgamesh were having a field day unleashing their Noble Phantasms on "mongrels" as Avenger Servants were tearing to the ranks of enemy Fallen Angels and Foreigners tore apart enemy Devils. Some of the more powerful and high-tier Servants even went to attack Trihexa to keep it off balance and at bay away from Shirou and his collapsed group of Demi-Servants. Hakunon quickly assumes command of Shirou's DxD alliance, issuing orders and helping them to reorganize and regroup with help from her Servants.
"Ah, there you are Shirou. I finally found you. You look utterly exhausted. Here, consume some CEs to regain your strength."
Shirou could only look at Gudako with a weak smile as she picked him up and feed him CEs to fill him up with more prana. Shirou was rushed to his side by his Servants and his family. He was finally happy to be reunited with those he loved at long last. Xenovia, Serafall, and the rest of Shirou's Demi-Servants were briefly introduced to Shirous' family and his true loves, all the Artoria Pendragons, while they were healed by Irisviel's NP and fed CEs by Gudako to replenish their strength and prana. Both Xenovia and Serafall were at a loss for words as they were meeting Shirou's family for the first time. They also meet their premier rivals in the form of the Artoria Pendragon Servants who proclaimed that they were married to Shirou a long time ago. Serafall was also shocked to find that Shirou's little sisters, Prisma Illya and Miyu, were genuine Mahou Shoujos.
The Khaos Brigade as a whole started to collapse in battle under the onslaught of Servants. But the danger was far from over as Trihexa still posed a threat to everyone. Then another surprise showed itself in the form of Dr. Romani Archaman who suddenly manifested before them in his King Solomon form. While most of Chaldea were surprised, some like Ritsuka, Gudako, Mashu, and Da Vinci were crying tears seeing him back. Solomon reveals that it was he who helped keep the Chaldea Masters and Servants together during the turbulent Rayshifting from Chaldea to DxD world. Solomon then unleashed some insanely powerful attacks that sent the Trihexa staggering back, but he was soon hit with the True Longinus attack by Cao Cao who managed to break off from his vicious fight with Berserker Lu Bu. Cao Cao managed to injure Solomon as he wasn't at full power without his rings. That would be Cao Cao's last mistake in his life as he was suddenly faced with an erriely enraged and scary Gudako who dropped her mask to reveal her true colors.
"You DARE Hurt Dr. Romani?! YOU WILL PAY WITH YOUR LIFE! Gut Fist Punch of the Beast!"
Faster than Cao Cao can blink in confusion, he was brought low from a single punch by Gudako as it felt like every organ in his body was ruptured and he was in extreme pain, the attack piercing through all of his Magic Resistance protection spells and charms he had equipped on himself. It was a miracle that Cao Cao did not die, faint, or go into shock right then and there. Then to Shirou and the other Chaldea Masters' shock, Gudako's head grew bigger as she opened her mouth which too grew big. Holding Cao Cao in place with her hands on his shoulders to prevent any escape attempt, Gudako then bit off Cao Cao's head with a sickening crunch. Spitting out Cao Cao's head, Gudako then uttered a revelation to the rest of Chaldea Masters as they looked at her stunned.
"You guys know me as Gudako. But my true form and existence is that of Beast V. You guys probably wonder why I am not your enemy, nor am I an enemy of mankind despite being a Beast-class entity. It's simple. I love gacha. I love rolling the gacha. Humanity created gacha and gacha is what gives Humanity meaning to me. If Human Order is destroyed and Humanity becomes extinct, then gacha will cease to exist. No new gacha will be created for me to roll. It is an outcome that I CANNOT ACCEPT. Hence, it is why I have decided to take this form of a strange quirky air-headed girl known as Gudako. Not only to preserve Human Order, but for the sake of preserving gacha at all cost."
Gudako then looks on at Trihexa as the DxD world's Beast of 666 continued to fight on as it was even giving Servants trouble. The Masters all dread what they were about to hear next.
"But this world on the other hand, there exists no gacha here in this Prism Dimension. This world...and this version of humanity...IS COMPLETE GARBAGE TO ME. Nothing much of value or worth to me here. These small token Grail fragments are not enough. There is nothing here for me to roll. THIS WORLD DOESN'T EVEN GIVE ME FREE SAINT QUARTZS! And then they dare hurt Romani! HOW DARE THEY!? Masters and Servants, take Shirou and start pulling back. Get ready to leave this world. When I am through with this world, there will be nothing left. All living things of this worthless world shall die, so I, Gudako, the Beast V have decree it. Leave the Trihexa to me. It takes a Beast to beat another Beast. The Trihexa is nothing compared to a real Beast like me.
Gudako then transformed into her true Beast V form and charged at Trihexa. Both opposing sides paused for a brief moment as the two Beasts battled each other, as every hit they threw at each other and every step they took made the very earth shutter and the sky sounding as though it was starting cracking under pressure. Gudako was even choking Trihexa at some point in their brawl before it broke free from her grip to bite onto her shoulder. While it seemed like Gudako could take on Trihexa and actually win on her own, it would be at the cost of this world being destroyed. In fact, Trihexa had used up half of its energy in previous fights with Shirou and his Demi-Servants and some of the most powerful beings in Shirou's DxD alliance. The unexpected emergence and challenge from Gudako in her Beast VI form caught the Trihexa off guard and by surprise, their fight was taxing all of its strength and reserve magical energy. The Masters begged Gudako to stop, lest her fight with Trihexa destroy this very world they are in. Gudako became irritated enough when some elements of Khaos Brigade attacked her too during her fight with Trihexa that she was about to use her Noble Phantasm to incinerate everything and eradicate the entire world of DxD. That was when Great Red and Ophis intervened to grab Gudako and teleport her away to the Dimension Gap to prevent her Noble Phantasm from destroying DxD world. Trihexa paused for a moment to recuperate as its strength and magical power was greatly depleted from its fight with Gudako. Chaldea and the rest of Shirou's alliance would take the time to regroup. Through Shirou, DxD God then gives Solomon the DxD version of his ten rings which allowed him to recover from the True Lonius's attack and invalidated the magic utilized by the Khaos Brigade Magicians and other human magic users to further neutralize the threat they posed; this would force most of Khaos Brigade human members to either surrender or abandon the fight entirely. Without Khaos Brigade human factions to interfere, Chaldea would take this only opportunity to kill Trihexa. Both normal and Void Shiki Ryougi would sever Trihexa' Lines of Death to weaken Trihexa as other other Heroic Spirits unleashed their Noble Phantasms upon it. The inhabitants of DxD world would witness a holy light show never seen before and one that would never be rivaled as the final killing blow would be delivered to Trihexa.
Arthur: "Seal Thirteen... Decision Start!"
Merlin (Prototype): "...Approved. Bedivere, Gareth, Lancelot, Mordred, Galahad."
Arthur: "This is a battle to save the world."
Merlin (Prototype):"Arthur."
Arthur: "Excalibur!"
Saber: "The breath of the planet gathers. The torrent of life shines. Take this! Excalibur"! "
Saber Lily: "Sword of Selection, grant me power! Cleave the wicked! Caliburn"!
Saber Alter: "Hammer of the Vile King. Overturn the aurora. Swallow the light! Excalibur Morgan"!
Santa Rider: "This is something from Santa. Drown in Christmas! Excalibur Morgan!" [Humming Jingle Bells]
Maid Alter: "A maid is a perfect being. I leave no room for the slightest flaw. Heartbreak Morgan'!"
Summer Arthuria: "It's swimming time. The light shining among the waves, the sword of victory! Excalibur Vivian!"
MHX: "O', Sword of Starlight. Red, White, Black, thou shalt obliterate! Keep this a secret everyone! 'X(Ex)... calibur'!"
MHXA: "Altereactor, critical limits exceeded. Through my darkness's brilliance, return to elementary particles! ...Cross-Calibur!"
MHXX: "The Dazzling Azure Galaxy, namely, Cosmos, Order of the Aether Universe. Here I go! Twinmyniad Disaster!"
LArtoria: "Releasing light from the end of the world... That which pierces the sky and connects with the earth! Anchor of the storm! 'Spear Shining at the End of the World' (Rhongomyniad)!"
Lancer SAlter: "Pierce, devour! The thirteen fangs! Rhongomyniad!"
Richard the Lionheart: "Shine o' Imagined Sword of Forever Distant Victory, Excalibur!"
For that moment, all everyone could see was light and was blinded by its intense brightness. When it was all over, Trihexa was no longer there. DxD's Beast of 666 was gone. No trace of it was left. If there was one word that describe what just happened, Issei said it best: "Holy Fuck...Talk about beyond overkill!". Kiba could only look at the aftermath and ask, "Just how many Excalibur swords does your side have Shirou?". DxD Arthur could only collapse to his knees and looked at where the Trihexa once stood in shock as he was a witness to a miracle that showed this world what a REAL Excalibur sword can do. Xenovia and Serafall then looked at the holy sword and lancer users with wide eyes. Just how powerful were all these lovers of Shirou? Xenovia and Serafall looked at the Artorias and then turned to Arthur and Richard. Both male Servants getting the idea of what they were thinking quickly stated that their Master was Ayaka Sajyou, not Shirou, to dispel any yaoi based imagery the two (and other DxD females) could have imagined with them and Shirou.
Afterwards, Gudako came back along with Great Red and Ophis, both dragons looking worse off as they bore the huge brunt of the Noble Phantom of Beast VI which resulted in the near destruction of the Dimension Gap. The two Dragons who were lucky enough to survive somehow muttered something about "Gacha", "Salt", "Hell", and "staring into the abyss of the end". Gudako, now returned to human form, rushed up to Solomon and gave him the tightest hug she ever gave him. Da Vinci even gave Solomon a long passionate kiss as she tearfully and happily welcomed him back. In the aftermath of the battle, Gudako and the rest of the Masters quickly gathered up all the drop mats felled from Khaos Brigade forces and Trihexa, including all the Grail fragments. Solomon used the DxD ten rings and with the help of other powerful Caster Servants was able to seperate Shirou, DxD God, and DxD Angra Mainyu into three different beings, with DxD God being granted his own human-like body thanks to Irisviel invoking the Third Magic: Heaven's Feel. With the complete death of Trihexa and Khaos Brigade completely defeated, Shirou's DxD alliance then formally announced the end of their world's Age of Gods and the beginning of their own Age of Man. Eventually, it was time for everyone from Chaldea to go back home and that sadly included Shirou. Xenovia and Serafall would cry their hearts out as they didn't want Shirou to go. But he must leave as Zelretch stated that Shirou's presence already derailed the natural progression of this world's timeline before the quantum time-lock kicked in, and that his staying might cause further instability with the existence of this world. Eventually the two DxD lovers of Shirou would tearfully accept his departure, as Shirou said that he would not forget them and that he would continue to love them even after he had left to return home with his family friends, comrades, and his Arthurian lovers at Chaldea. Should Fate ever allow it again, he might come back...but only if the Human Order was endangered.
Present-day - Location: Chaldea HQ
It had been two week long since Shirou had returned to Chaldea.
One month since he fought alongside the inhabitants of "DxD" world against the Trihexa. While he had been gone for a week, he had spent close to a year in DxD world. He was making up for a lot of lost time with his precious Artoria Pendragons while taking care to also share some of his lover time with Okita and her Alter. He also made time to spend with his family as well. After all, he must preserve the smiles of his adorable little imoutos. Anyhow, Shirou was now relaxing quietly in the Summoning Chamber alone with Hakuno after a brief spar with Archer in the Training Simulation Room, his head on her lap as she petted his head. He enjoyed their conversations alone with each other as they were theapetic for him. Hakunon was the only Master who understood his very being, even more so than Tohsaka Rin, Sakura, or Illyasviel during the 5th Fuyuki HGW. There was no romantic or sensual feelings between Shirou and Hakunon despite what others may think, just genuine close friendship. Oh how her head tilts were so adorable whenever she asked him questions as they were talking about his time in DxD and his interesting position in it. Shirou concluded that Hakunon would have been a better leader for the Biblical Faction as he never truly led nor governed the Biblical Faction, for that task was divided amongst the Mahous and Seraphims. Hakunon would have never gotten pulled only into many of the events that did happen and would have been more strategic with how to lead a faction given her experience in the Moon Cell Grail Wars. Nor would she have made the mistakes that he made. No matter how you cut it, Shirou was never the leader type to begin with; he was only someone who can rally people to his side and be more skilled in fighting on the frontlines.
A moment later, Gudako entered the Summoning Chamber carrying 666 Saint Quarts given to her by Solomon, or Romani as he insisted everyone called him by nowadays, to assist Kirei Kotomine in some test runs with the Gacha RNG system. An experimental test banner was set in place with some 5* Servants and rare 5* CEs to entice and encourage Gudako to participate in the gacha roll testing. In typical fashion, she spent all the Saint Quarts given to her, gaining so few good rolls while mostly suffering the bitter taste of salt and despair as Kirei softly laughed on. Then Gudako turned to Shirou and demanded that he give her his Saint Quarts. Shirou refused as he was saving his Saint Quarts in anticipation of a future event banner where he would have the chance to roll for Morgan le Fay (the real one, not that blond reincarnate from DxD world) and Guinevere to complete the entire cast of Arthurian legend. Lancelot would surely be overjoyed being reunited with Guinevere. Shirou softly chuckled to himself imagining how Guinevere would adopt Mashu as her daughter since she is the Demi-Servant of Galahad who is Lancelot's son.
Plus, he felt that he owed Morgan le Fay something. During the Camelot Singularity, it was Morgan who got Shirou separated from his Servant team and brought him before Lancer Artoria. The sheath of Avalon inside reacted to the divinity of Goddess Rhongomyniad and so too did the goddess version of his beloved Saber to him. He was under the influence of Avalon that made him deeply in love with the Lancer that resembled Saber. Before he could utter any words, the Goddess seizes him and with one look declares that Shirou will have the honor and privilege of marrying her. The Goddess then kisses Shirou and because of resonance with Avalon and her partial Divine Spirit status, a connection was formed between them, one that overwhelmed Shirou's mind, body, and soul. Shirou was confused...but falls into a trance. He embraces the Goddess and returns her kiss as Avalon inside him resonates with her. He accepted his Goddess, his lover, his king. He would be her Queen as she decreed and he would obey her without question. The state of mind he is in now won't be of much help to his team nor the rest of Chaldea when they eventually showed up in force after Shirou didn't respond to their communications and went MIA in the Camelot Singularity. A new side of Shirou is born as the result of being influenced by Avalon, SHIROU LILY. LArtoria and the then born Shirou Lily would have tried to get married near the end of the Camelot Singularity, with Morgan le Fay helping to officiate their marriage even going as far as to live-broadcast the wedding across the realm for all to see. The live magic projection recording of LArtoria in her royal majesty form paired with a seemingly feminine-like Shirou Lily in a beautiful wedding dress and gown would forever cement his title in Chaldea as the "Queen of Camelot". Morgan's plan was to have LArtoria married with Shirou Lily as her Queen and lover before Lancer Artoria used the structure of Camelot Castle to seal the "chosen few" in her spear forever. The wedding would never be completed as once Chaldea got word of Shirou's impending marriage to LArtoria , the Artorias plus Okita would push Chaldea ahead of schedule to storm the walls of Camelot so they could confront Lancer Artoria and stop the wedding. Arthur Pendragon would end up battling Mordred while Okita would fight Gawain.
As the Saberfaces storm the castle they hear the announcement of the wedding ceremony and see from the projected images of Shirou and LArtoria at the wedding altar. They get more anxious as both LArtoria and Shirou exchange wedding vows - and they get all shy and embarrassed as Shirou recites his wedding vows that sounded like one a soon-to-be newly wedded bride who is romantically in love would give. Shirou Lily seems to enjoy it as he giggled like a teenage girl living out her fantasies with her prince charming, given that Avalon has made Shirou much more feminine at heart; he even refers to himself in a feminine manner. The last straw broken that causes the Artorias to go into overdrive - and causes Saber to turn completely insane - was they heard Shirou Lily telling the LArtoria in his wedding vow that he couldn't wait for their honeymoon night together as a bride ready to give "her" everything and anything to please "her husband", though he asked that the Goddess be gentle with "her" as it would be "her" first wedding night. Shirou Lily is getting way too much into the role of a bride soon to be a wedded wife. When Morgan gives the old classic wedding line, "If any of you has reasons why these two should not be married, speak now or forever hold your peace", the Artorias burst through the large chamber doors into the wedding ceremony taking place in the throne room and as one they together shouted out their objections.
The Artorias would battle LArtoria and Shirou Lily while Morgan stood on the sidelines. It frustrated the Artorias greatly how this King and Queen duo of Camelot would fight together in sync, with Shirou Lily actually dual-wielding Excalibur Vivian and Excalibur Morgan in place of Kanshou and Bakuya and using Avalon to protect LArtoria every time they try to use their Noble Phantasms against her. It did make the Artorias slightly jealous seeing how beautiful, affectionate, in tune the royal couple of Camelot were with each other as they fought together as "husband" and "wife". Eventually the Artorias decided to separate the couple and defeat Shirou Lily first so they could have a better chance at beating LArtoria . Saber manages to remove her Avalon from Shirou Lily, causing him to faint and lose consciousness, making LArtoria mad and reckless in her attacks seeing her beloved "queen" defeated. The big shocking finale would come when Bedivere used his Noble Phantasm Switch On - Airgetlám to land a decisive blow on LArtoria, as the previously unconscious Shirou actually rushed out and stood in front of LArtoria hoping to shield her from the attack. There was still a bit of Shirou Lily left in him to move his body to protect LArtoria. It doesn't work as both Shirou and LArtoria were struck down. LAtoria actually expressed her human emotions seeing Shirou struck down trying to protect him that even gravely wounded she held Shirou in her arms as she cried and pleaded with him to not die. Morgan then intervened, revealing the Avalon that previously belonged to LArtoria before she stole it from her. Morgan was about to merge Avalon with LArtoria when LArtoria asked Morgan to give her Avalon to Shirou instead so that he might live, surprising the other Artorias. Morgan refused at first and uttered a tearful confession at how she wanted this Singularity to be a second chance not only for LArtoria and the Knights of Round, but for herself as well. Morgan wanted to close sisters with Artoria this time and for the two to be family instead of enemies like in the past. LArtoria smiled as she said she understands but she still pleads with Morgan to accept her one only selfishly human request to save Shirou's life. Moved by LArtoria's first ever genuinely selfish and yet human wish, Morgan would place LArtoria's Avalon into Shirou. Being in range with many Artorias at once accelerated Avalon's healing ability to help heal Shirou much faster, though he would remain unconscious until the Masters and Servants got back to Chaldea. LArtoria would tell the Artorias to take care of Shirou in her place, a promise they all agreed instinctively. Morgan's departing words to them before Camelot Singularity was erased was that she and her sister would be waiting eventually reunite with the one true Queen of Camelot (AN: *hint hint* it's Shirou himself duh).
With LArtoria's Avalon inside him, Shirou was finally able to summon LArtoria as his Servant at Chaldea. Afterwards, all of the Artoria Pendragons plus Okita got married to Shirou, with MHXA, MHXX, and Okita Alter being the last three to joined in the polygamous marriage. Needless to say, they were the most anxious among the people of Chaldea when Shirou disappeared into "DxD" and oh boy were they not happy finding out that Shirou unwittingly got married to Xenovia and Serafall. The eyes of LArtoria in particular looked like she wanted to kill Serafall and in her possessive rage she would have proceeded to run her spear through the female Maou if Shirou hadn't stopped and calmed her down. Saber was not happy with this arrangement herself, though she seemed to be accepting of Xenovia after getting to know her.
Anyhow, Shirou was not gonna give Gudako any of his Saint Quartz or Summon Tickets since he's saving the for Morgan le Fay and Guinevere. Gudako wrestled with Shirou to take his Quartz, but the thirty Saint Quartzs Shirou had in his hands slipped and ended up on the summoning floor, activating the Summoning Ritual and the gacha system.
"NOOOOO! Not Shirou's Quarts!"
Gudako collapsed to her knees in despair as she uttered, "What a waste."
Not missing a chance, Kirei then uttered the dreaded words, "Yorokobe Shounen."
"Don't you dare curse the gacha roll you damn mapo tofu-loving muscle priest."
Gudako punches Kirei in the gut, catching him off guard and making him kneel over holding his stomach. But it was too late. It looked like Kirei has cursed Shirou's gacha roll. Gudako could only watch in dread anticipating Black Keys, Mapo Tofus, Spell Tomes, Azoth Dagger, Matou Shinjis, and other crappy 3* CEs and Servants. However, the residual holy power of DxD God that still remained inside Shirou would work a miracle to override the cursed Kirei spook. Out of ten shots, five of them were gold. Five Gold Servant Saber cards to be exact. At the same time, more people came in to take a look at the results of Shirou's pull.
Gudako: "Whaa….? This ridiculous roll…the bitter taste of gacha salt is just too much."
Ritsuka: "It's a miracle. Shirou actually countered Kirei's curse and he rarely rolls anything on the gacha."
Romani: "That's right. He only rolls for Artoria Servants for the most part, with exceptions for reuniting the Emiya family. Never anything else especially on a random gacha roll."
Da Vinci: "Classic Shirou, you're a magnet for Artoria-faces. you're the ultimate catalyst for them."
Ayaka Sajyou: "By the Root, just how many female King of Knights are there in the Throne of Heroes?"
Hakuno: "If it's Saber Venus, can you give her to me Shirou?"
Sieg: "If it's Saber Jeanne, give her to me. All the Jeannes belong to me."
Shirou: "Sure thing Hakuno and Sieg."
Saber: "Why five gold Saber cards? I'm sure me, Lilly, and Alter have already maxed out our Noble Phantasms."
Okita: "I also maxed out my Noble Phantasm too. Could it be the rumored Galactica Saber those future Artorias always talk about? Maybe Saber Lion? Or your earlier version, Devil Saber?"
Okita Alter: "It can't be either of those three. Shirou would sooner summon Arcueid Brunestud than any of those three ridiculous parodies."
MHXX: "That's impossible. Saber Lion is just too much of a joke character to fit into the gacha. Furthermore, DW made no mention of a plan for a Galactica Saber and there's no Tsukihime anime to justify Arcueid in FGO. Plus, Arcueid isn't considered a Saberface."
MHXA then nonchalantly holds up Shingetsutan Tsukihime DVD and newer art renditions of Arcueid as she said, "You guys sure about that? Could it also be that cute blonde Saber wannabe named Alice from some faraway virtual world called Underworld, MHX? You must have known her since you wish to defeat all Sabers."
MHX: "We don't talk about THAT Tsukihime anime! The only real Tsukihime anime out there is Carnival Phantasm. And who the hell is this Alice person you keep alleging that I know of? Just who do you think I am? I am not the Black Swordsman and I certainly don't have a childhood friend named Alice. This so-called Alice person isn't even a Saberface."
Yu Miaoyi: "Is it possible that the Counter Force side of Gaia is at work here? Maybe Gaia rigged the gacha to have Shirou summon Arcueid as a Saber-class perhaps?"
Saber Lily: "But that makes no sense. Her Marble Phantasm is a castle, not a sword. She doesn't fit the mold of a Saber-class Servant at all"
Saber Alter: "That's correct. The True Ancestor is better suited for Ruler or Berserker class. Maybe Caster and Foreigner if we're pushing it."
Mordred: "One of the five gold Saber cards better be a damn fifth copy of me. I need one more copy of me to fully max out my Noble Phantasm."
Gawain and Saberlot: "We need fifth copies of ourselves too."
Arthur: "Please be Alter me. Please be Alter me. Please be Alter me. Please be Alter me."
Sitonai: "Any chance it's another version of Shirou whose a pseudo-Servant vessel of Sengo Muramasa, onii-chan?"
Archer EMIYA: "Please no. After seeing my so-called Alter self, I can't take another version of "Shirou Emiya" running around loose in Chaldea."
Gilgamesh: "The first time I agree with you mongrel. There's just too many damn fakers in the Throne and Chaldea as it is."
Eventually, all five gold Saber cards revealed the stage 1 ascension image of the mysterious Saber. The Saber's image shocks everyone, but none more that Shirou himself as the five gold Saber cards then merged into a singular gold Saber card of the mysterious Saber, maxing the unknown Saber's Noble Phantasm to Level 5.
"How…? How is this even possible?", uttered Shirou.
The unknown Saber then materialized in full form as another set of Command Spells appeared on Shirou's body somewhere. This particular Saber had chin-length blue hair with a dyed green fringe on the right side, with brown and dark yellow colored eyes as she opened them to take in the sight in front of her. Everyone quickly recognized who this Saber Servant is as she then spoke.
"Servant Saber and Dual Wielder of Durandals, Xenovia Quarta. Pseudo-Servant vessel to one of the legendary 12 Paladins of Charlemagne, Roland."
Xenovia then looks at Shirou and smiles happily as she sees who could have possibly miraculously summoned her. Shirou couldn't help but have a reminiscent feeling when he saw Xenovia striking a pose mirroring Saber Arturia when Shirou summoned her for the first time.
"I have been waiting for this very moment."
Looking at Shirou, Xenovia then uttered the fateful words of every Servant upon their summons.
"I ask of you. Are you my Master, Shirou?
Silence reigned in the Summoning Chamber for a moment as everyone was shocked seeing such an impossible Servant Summoning happen before their eyes. This particular Servant Saber of Shirou's wasn't supposed to be possible. Then Jaguar Man broke the silence.
"SHHHIIIIIRRRRROUUUUUUUUU! You just broke the gacha!"

Dialogue:
Summoned - Servant Saber and Dual Wielder of Durandals, Xenovia Quarta. Pseudo-Servant vessel to one of the legendary 12 Paladins of Charlemagne, Roland. *looks at Master (Shirou) and smiles* I have been waiting for this very moment. I ask of you, are you Master, Shirou?
Dialogue 1 - C'mon Master (Shirou), it's time for us to train. I want to see how I fare well against my fellow Saber-class Servants.
Dialogue 2 - I'm still not used to his whole Servant deal Master (Shirou). It still feels strange to me. But as long as I am with you by your side, I can overcome anything that comes our way.
Dialogue 3 - Let's us fight together Master (Shirou). As Husband and Wife. With both our dual blades together, there is nothing we can't overcome.
Dialogue 4 (Mashu Kyrielite) - I know you, you're Chaldea's very first Demi-Servant! I guess that makes you my senpai despite my strong Servant stats. Heh, we're pretty similar to each other inheriting our Noble Phantasms from chiverious knights and paladins of God. You're truly brave and remarkable to wield a Shield over any other weapon. I look forward to fighting alongside you, Shielder.
Dialogue 5 (Serafall) - Serafall, how...how are you even here in Chaldea and materialized as a Servant no less? Last I check, only Humans can enter the Throne of Heroes and be recorded as Heroic Spirits to be summoned as Servants. Wait a minute...your light dark tanned skin color, your now rusted white hair, your aura presence, your red and black outfit...it's just like Archer EMIYA's. No... don't tell me...you became one of Alaya's Counter Guardian for Master (Shirou)'s sake. Or is it for Sona's sake? Why are you refusing to look at me and Master (Shirou) in the eyes? Why are you remaining silent Serafall? Answer me Serafall! WHAT DID YOU DO?!
Dialogue 6 (Irisviel & Kiritsugu) - Mother...Father in laws. I ask of you. Please give me your blessings to marry your son! I hope you accept me into your happy family. I hope as your daughter-in-law I can live up to the Emiya name and legacy.
Dialogue 7 (Miyu) - So you're Miyu, Shirou precious little sister. You're so cute and adorable. You're lucky to have a big brother like Shirou. Having met you, I now understand why Shirou would even be willing to give up his ideals and choose you over the world and humanity. Because Miyu...your love and smile are so worth protecting and fighting for.
Dialogue 8 (Prisma Illya, Kuro, Sitonai) - You have so many adorable imoutos Master (Shirou). No Kuro! You can't kiss me. You all can call me Xenovia onee-san since I'm gonna be married to your brother as the main wife. Wait Sitonai...is that Hercules carrying you on his shoulder? Why is he staring at me like that? And why are you giving me such a creepy scary smiley look, Sitonai?
Dialogue 9 (Arthuria Pendragon) - So you were Master (Shirou)'s beloved Saber Servant, the legendary King of Knights who fought in Master (Shirou)'s Holy Grail War. I am highly honored to have finally met you. Master (Shirou)'s love for you is strong, far stronger than any love he has for other girls. Admittingly even his love for me pales in comparison to the love he has for you. I admit that if Master (Shirou) chose some other girl over me to be his main wife, I don't mind if it is you Saber.
Dialogue 10 (Heroic Spirits with "Saint" trait) - Praise the Lord, I am in the presence of legendary Heroic Spirit Saints. I am extremely honored to meet you all. It's nice to find those who fight under the Lord's cause and banner, even if our versions of the Biblical God differs from our worlds. I can't wait to fight alongside each other. Team Brave Saints is a GO!
Dialogue 11 (Jeanne d'Arc) - Oh my God...you're the Maid of Orleans, the legendary Jeanne d'Arc. A true saint and hero at your core. I am so glad to meet you. It's just a shame that in my world, your counterpart failed to live up to even a tiny miniscule of your legend. She does not deserve to call herself Jeanne or her claims to being your descendant and heir-holder of Jeanne's soul. I really hope to see you and your Alter counterparts kicking her ass. I would love to see it happen.
Dialogue 12 (Sumenai) - So you're the Norse dragon-slaying Siegfried, Hero of the Völsunga saga and wielder of Balmung. You're very different from the Siegfried I knew of in my world. You are a kind gentle soul with the heart of a true Hero of Justice. But...why does Gudako keep dissing you? Disrespecting your pride and honor as a Saber-class Servant with that mean moniker "Sumenai-san". You really need to stand up to that weirdo Chaldea Master for your own sake.
Dialogue 13 (Archer EMIYA) - So you are the alternate future version of my Master (Shirou). I honestly don't know what to say. I'm mad that you tried to kill Master (Shirou) many times in his Holy Grail War. But knowing how you faithfully followed through with your ideals of being a Hero of Justice, only to be condemned, betrayed, and broken by it...it just all sounds so sad and tragic that I can't help but pity you. But I also thank you from the bottom of my heart EMIYA, for helping to push my Master (Shirou) in the right direction. Because of that...a miracle was possible. Because Master (Shirou) is alive, I was able to meet and fell in love with him. So thank you, Archer.
Dialogue 14 (Astolfo) - It's nice to meet a fellow Paladin of Charlemagne, especially since I inherited the soul and will of the Paladin Roland. I shouldn't be surprised that you're a female warrior like me since history books tend to mess up some people's genders….WAIT! What do you mean you're not a girl? What do you mean you're a guy? You don't look like a male at all. Why are you lifting your skirt? GAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!
Dialogue 15 (Lancer Artoria) - So you're the Lancer version of Saber. Your Divinity puts you in par with the Gods, Buddhas, and highest class of Angels, Fallen Angels, and Devils from my world. With your spear, I bet you could kick even the ass of that ecchi hentai Odin from my world. Wait, what do you mean I can't be Master (Shirou)'s main wife? You're saying that Master (Shirou) is actually YOUR WIFE and he is THE QUEEN OF CAMELOT? Heheheh, I wonder how Michael and Gabriel would react to this shocking revelation. If Shirou is the reincarnated Biblical God and is your wife, does this mean that Heaven and all of Angel-kind is subservient to you by default? I'm confused here. Hey Saber Arthuria, explain all of this for me.
Dialogue 16 (other versions of Artoria Pendragon) - So you're all different versions of the same King of Knights whom Master (Shirou) loves. The competition for Master (Shirou)'s heart may be fierce, but I will not fall short on my own efforts. Whether it be love or battle, I will fight to show that I belong side by side with Master (Shirou).
Dialogue 17 (Arthur Pendragon) - There's something familiar about you...and your sword. Are you Arthuria's twin brother? Wait, you're not? So you're an alternative version of King Arthur? The only male among a flock of female King of Knights. So your Chaldea Master is...that's right, Ayaka Sajyou. That shy megane girl whom an alternate King of Heroes is flirting with and wanting to make her his queen. Wait, where are you going?! Where are you running off to? Was it something I said about Gilgamesh (Prototype)?
Dialogue 18 (Ishtar) - BE GONE THOT! I know what you did to poor Enkidu in your attempts to spite Gilgamesh and I will not allow you to sink your claws into my Master (Shirou) and make him suffer a similarly cruel fate. A fickle, whimsical, whoreish, useless goddess such as yourself should stay away from my Master (Shirou). Seriously, why can't you be more like your sister Ereshkigal? She is probably one of the few Divine Spirits outside of the Biblical patheon worthy of my respect and is a nice pleasant person to be around.
Dialogue 19 ("canon" counterpart) - So you're a version of me who was forsaken, betrayed, and abandoned by the Church only to become a Knight Piece for Rias's Peerage. Even becoming a corrupted Alter version of myself would have been a better outcome than being reduced to becoming another girl to be added to the Harem King's collection and left forgotten. Just like how some people can't really accept or understand certain alternate versions of themselves, neither can I with you. I sympathize with Master (Shirou)'s and Archer EMIYA's feelings now. What? You want to fight? You think that by crossing blades we'll somehow come to better understanding each other? Don't joke with me! You think a mere Devil like you can win against me, a Servant?! I really am mad now! Don't blame me for not holding back the slightest! I don't mind losing to anyone else, but I won't be beaten by myself! I refuse to lose to you!
Dialogue 20 (Angra Mainyu) - There is something familiar about that Avenger. He give off the similar aura when you channeled your Devil side as Marbas, Master (Shirou). Nay, it's the same except he's not a Devil. Wait? So he's actually the Zoroastrian dark god, Angra Mainyu. The one who embodies the concept of "All The Evil In The World". How the hell did Serafall and the rest of the Maous got Angra Mainyu's presence mixed up with that of a Demon's?
Dialogue 21 (Bradamante) - Bradamante, eh? As a Demi-Servant vessel of Paladin Roland, it is a great honor to meet another fellow Paladin of Charlemagne like you. Though I can't help but feel like I have seen you somewhere before. Twintail-haired...Tsundere...Osananajimi...Light novel? It can't be! There's no way! Is that really you Irina? Have you become a Demi-Servant vessel too? Or is it Pseudo-Servant? (AN: a joke on Bradamante meme as her appearance is that if a generic twintail-osananajimi-tsundere-light novel character)
Dialogue 22 (Charlemagne) - So you're Charlemagne, leader of the legendary 12 Paladins. The fabled King of France whose legend is comparable to that of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table. Wait a minute...chotto matte kudasai! Why do you look like Ritsuka Fujimaru? Astolfo, Bradamante, Hakunon, are you guys sure he's actually Charlemagne? He looks too much like Ritsuka. Hey Hakunon, explain all of this to me.
Dialogue 23 (Merlin) - Buster meme is righteous. Buster meme is truth. Buster meme is justice. Even Maou-class Devils stand no chance against my Master's (Shirou's) Servant team when we have the greatest support Caster Servant on the team. Sorry Serafall, but your Arts-based Noble Phantasm stands no chance against my Buster Noble Phantasm that is massively boosted by someone who is a great court mage of King Arthur and the next Grand Caster candidate after Solomon.
Something I Like: Isn't it obvious Master (Shirou)? *kisses Master (Shirou)* It's being with you dearest. Just being with you warms my heart.
Something I Dislike: Master (Shirou), you really need to nerf down your EX-rank Harem Protagonist Skill. I don't want you to risk ending up like that degenerate hentai Harem King. The Artorias and Okitas are fine since we're friends and we have made arrangements, but anymore girls would be chaos and mean less time for us to be together.
About the Holy Grail: My wish is to be with you always. No matter what Holy Grail War scenario you end up in, I will always be by your side. My heart, my devotion, my faith, and blades are only for you Master (Shirou) and no one else.
During an Event: An event is underway Master (Shirou). It's settled. Let's fight strong foes while we enjoy this event.
Birthday: Happy Birthday Master (Shirou). Even if you have forgotten your own birthday and can only remember the Flames of Fuyuki, I will always remember your birthday for you. Because you being born has made me and countless others happy, and you deserve to be happy too.
NP activation: My lone single Durandal alone is powerful enough! But let's how you fare against a second Durandal given to me by my dearest friend and love! Double Durandal Destruction!
