[Action; Everywhere BUT Ecruteak City]

Why did this have to happen before I challenged Morty? Figures now that it's sending me everywhere except where I want to go.

[A bit later, Shirou can be found attacking a post with a pair of short swords. He throws the white sword past the post...then it arcs around and slices the post, and he catches it.

[Ceiling Gil's watching yer back. Literally. And doesn't seem to be amused.]

Hoo... Is that what you're capable of?

[wontdieifkilled]

Wha--!

[Shirou spins around and leaps back.]

You're back?!

[usedbabylon]

What are you mongrel speaking about? I was never gone in the first place.

[wontdieifkilled]

No, but you were here as a kid.

[oxidegreen]

[Hey, it's that one Rocket chick!

With a wicked looking red sword.]

[wontdieifkilled]

...Huh?

[Shirou just stands there and looks at her, then the sword.]

[oxidegreen]

[She looks a little confused to be there herself, but the fact that Shirou is armed seems to pique her interest.]

...A warrior?

[wontdieifkilled]

Uh...not trained or anything.

[puppyofulster]

Oh, wow. Those are strange-looking swords.

[Does this seven-year-old look familiar, Shirou? He should.]

[wontdieifkilled]

[What is this Shirou doesn't even.]

Uh...well, um...they're definitely...unique?

[puppyofulster]

How did you make them come back? I don't think I've ever seen a trick like that before.

[Here is a curious and somewhat oblivious kid looking at Kanshou and Bakuya instead of paying attention to how very confused Shirou is.]

...Actually, I don't know of anyone that uses blades like that.

[wontdieifkilled]

It's just...something they do.

[What's that looming behind you? Why, it's your best friend and his current partner, Darkrai.]

[He would get the only Pokemon even remotely half as creepy as him.]

Shirou Emiya. A familiar sight in an unfamiliar land.

[wontdieifkilled]

[Like hell Shirou would be forgetting that voice any time soon. He's had to sit through one too many expositions -- i.e., one, since he's from UBW. He spins around and assumes a defensive stance.]

Kirei Kotomine...?! And...

[He doesn't know what to make of the Darkrai.]

[sancta_pravus]

[Oh, Shirou, you poor thing. This is the tl;dr-iest of tl;dr priests. Welcome to Heaven's Feel route.]

The very same. Though like you I am at a loss for how to describe this particular creature.

[Darkrai seemed to be just as good at looming ominously as its new trainer was.]

[wontdieifkilled]

...That's...that's one I've never seen before...
