Saber:
Did you hate me… did you hate me so much… that you became this?
Berserker:
AAAUUURRR!!!
[Kiritsugu vs. Kirei]
Kiritsugu:
“Origin Rounds (??? sounds more like 'relents' here...???)”… they cause the target’s Mana to go out of control. Causing their body to rip itself apart…
[Kirei defends the shot of Origin Round]
Kiritsugu:
What?!
[Kirei attacks]
Kiritsugu:
Time Alter… Double Axel!
[Kirei defends Kiritsugu’s attack]
Kiritsugu:
The Origin Rounds aren’t working… No… I understand… He is using Command Seals as his Mana source. By the time the Round strikes and takes effect, the Command Seal Mana source is already vanished. Since he doesn’t use his own magic circuit for attacks, the Origin Round’s magic won’t work. But if I can land a solid hit, it’ll be still strong enough to kill him.
Kirei:
Don’t think you’ll escape next time. Now that I know you are moving at double speed, I simply need to adjust the distant to compensate for it.
[Kirei attacks Kiritsugu]
Kiritsugu:
He is fast!
[Kiritsugu collapsed]
Saber:
The depth of your violent madness… Is that my fault as well? Is it… is it my fault?!
[Gunshot]
Kiritsugu:
Time Alter… Double Axel!
[Origin Round pierced through Kirei’s right arm]
Kiritsugu:
I’m in a disadvantage (???at a massive disadvantage???) in closer range… I’ve lost my Calico… My Contender needs reloading. However… Avalon…
Kirei:
He has healing ability that allows him to instantly regenerate the demolished heart? Then, I’ll have to destroy the brain. But… I can’t use my right arm.
Kiritsugu:
Avalon will even work on self-inflicted wounds. I have a knife I can use, and two grenades left.
Kirei:
I have twelve blades remaining, and eight spare Command Seals.
Kirei:
Time Alter… Triple Axel!
[Kiritsugu attacks]
Kirei:
Guuuh…!
[The Holy Grail gets filled with mad]
[Kiritsugu vs. Kirei]
Kiritsugu:
Time Alter… Square Axel!
[Mad fall upon Kiritsugu and Kirei]
[Saber stabbed Berserker]
Saber:
But, even so… I will win the Grail. If I do not… there will be nothing I can do… to atone to you…
Sir Lancelot:
Even after all of this happened, you would still take up your sword… for a reason such as that? What a difficult person you are…
[Sir Lancelot collapsed]
Kiritsugu:
Where am I?
Irisviel:
I knew you would come, Kiritsugu. I had faith that you would be the one to reach this place.
Kiritsugu:
Iri…
Irisviel:
This is where the wish you have lived for will granted. We are inside the Grail that you have been seeking. That is the Holy Grail. It has yet to take form, but the vessel itself is more than filled. All you need to do now is to offer it your prayer. Only then, will it be able to go out into the physical world. Now, please. Hurry and give the Grail its form. Kiritsugu, you have proven yourself more than worthy to define its existence.
Kiritsugu:
Who are you… really?
Irisviel:
I am Irisviel as you see.
Kiritsugu:
No… if the Grail is prepared to receive a wish, and she is already… Answer me!
Irisviel:
It’s true… I will not that this is no more than a mask. You see? Unless I use a preexisting personality as a shell, I cannot communicate with others. However, the personality of Irisviel thatI recorded is undeniably the real thing. And so, I have inherited the last wish that Irisviel held in her heart.
Kiritsugu:
Are you the will of the Holy Grail?
Irisviel:
I am. Guide interpretation is not incorrect. I have my own will, and my own wish. I have the will to be born into the world.
Kiritsugu:
No way. If that’s the case, than how does the Grail intend to totally fulfill my wish?!
Irisviel:
Well, Kiritsugu. That is something… that you should know far better… than anyone else could possibly know.
Kiritsugu:
What?
Irisviel:
You learned exactly how to save the world, a long, long time ago. So I will do exactly as you always did. To carry out your will and to ultimately answer your prayer…
Kiritsugu:
What are you talking about?!
Irisviel:
I have no choice. The only way is to have you go and explore that same question to your inner self.
[Kiritsugu awakes]
Kiritsugu:
Huh?! This is…
Angra Mainyu:
Three hundred on one ship, two hundred on another…
Kiritsugu:
What the…
Angra Mainyu:
Five hundred total passengers and crew. Plus Kiritsugu Emiya. Let’s assume that these five hundred and one people are humanity’s last survivors. Giant holes simultaneously open up in the both ships crippling them. Kiritsugu alone has the skills needed to repair a ship. Now then, Which one of the ships would you choose to fix?
Kiritsugu:
Simple… the one holding three hundred people.
Angra Mainyu:
As soon as you make that decision, the two hundred passengers on the other ship, kidnap you and take you prisoner. They demand you fix there ship first, what will you do?
Kiritsugu:
I will…
[Gunshot]
Kiritsugu:
Uh…
[Two hundred people dyed]
Angra Mainyu:
You will kill all two hundred passengers… that is correct. That is the Kiritsugu Emiya we know.
[Phone call]
Angra Mainyu:
Next, the surviving three hundred passengers abandon their damaged craft they split themselves between two new ships. They continue their journey This time, there are two hundred on one, and one hundred on the other. But again, holes open the howls of both ships at exactly the same time…
Kiritsugu:
Wait...
Angra Mainyu:
The hundred in the smaller ship take you prisoner. And like the other, demand you to fix their ship first. Now, what will you do?
Kiritsugu:
You already know… aren’t you?
[Bomb]
Angra Mainyu:
Yes. You’ve made the right decision.
Kiritsugu:
No! that’s impossible! How can that be the right decision?! Two hundred survived, but three hundred died so they could live! The scales are tipped the wrong way!
Angra Mainyu:
No. Your calculations were correct. You made a choice to sacrifice the few to save the many. Isn’t that right? Kiritsugu Emiya? You have consistently chosen to kill those on the lighter side of the scales. Even if it meant to leave a long trail of the bodies behind you in your wake, if it save lives, the lives that you've saved, must have been worth more than you destroyed.
Kiritsugu:
This… this is what you wanted to show me?
Angra Mainyu:
Yes. This is your truth. The answer that lies within Kiritsugu Emiya. The course of action that should be taken by the Grail as an all-powerful wish granter.
Kiritsugu:
No! No this is not what I want! I want that there would be another way to save the world! That’s why I believed… the miracle was my only hope.
Angra Mainyu:
Your wish cannot include a method you yourself don’t already know. If your wish is to save the world, it must be done in a manner that you can fully comprehend.
Kiritsugu:
Like hell! How in the hell… can you call that a miracle?!
Angra Mainyu:
The deed you try so hard to accomplish and fail to do on your own, can be accomplished in a scale beyond the power of any man. If that is not a miracle, what is?
Kiritsugu:
Father…
[Gunshot]
Kiritsugu:
Natalia…
[Gunshot]
Angra Mainyu:
Kiritsugu Emiya, you are truly “Angra Mainyu”. The one worthy to bear all the evil in the world. Now, the final question… three remain… Will you save two? Or choose one?
[Kiritsugu stabs Maiya]
Illyasviel:
Welcome home, daddy! Oh, I’m so happy that you finally back!
Irisviel:
You understand now, right? This is all the Holy Grail. Granting your heart's fervent prayer. All you need to do now, is to wish for it. To bring back your wife. To take back your daughter.
Kiritsugu:
I won’t… be able to go looking for Chesnut with you any more…
Illyasviel:
It’s okay. Don’t worry about it. I’ll be happy, just as you and mother are with me from now on.
Kiritsugu:
Thank you… Daddy loves you… My precious Illya… If nothing else… I swear that’s true.
[Kiritsugu points a gun at Illyasviel]
Kiritsugu:
Good bye… Illya…
[Gunshot]
Irisviel:
Illya!!! Illya! Illya!... But why?! Why did you do this?! My love, you killed our Illya!
[Kiritsugu chokes Irisviel’s neck]
Irisviel:
My love… why? Why do you… refuse us… and the Grail…Ugh…
Kiritsugu:
Six billion people… on the earth…
Irisviel:
I… curse you… Kiritsugu… Emiya…
Kiritsugu:
Versus you two…
Irisviel:
“Angra Mainyu”… curses you…
Kiritsugu:
That’s why…
Irisviel:
Suffer…
Kiritsugu:
That’s why…
Irisviel:
Till the day…
Kiritsugu:
I have to kill you…
Irisviel:
You die… I will…
Kiritsugu:
And I will save… the world…
Irisviel:
Never forgive…
[Kiritsugu kills Irisviel(Angra Mainyu)]
[Kiritsugu and Kirei awake]
Kirei:
What a boring conclusion to this fight… why did you refuse it?
Kiritsugu:
You were able to see all that?
Kirei:
I thought you sacrificed everything you had including your family, in order to make at to this point. How can you simply deny the worth of something you work so hard to attain? It’s so foolish I cannot understand it.
Kiritsugu:
A tremendous toll it demands… is far greater than anything it can offer. That’s the simple truth. That thing… is no omnipotent wish granter.
Kirei:
Then, give that damn thing to me! You may not think you need it, but I most certainly do. If it… if it is given the life it is seeking, than it can surly answer my every doubt! And finally bring everything the clarity. The Grail wants for its life of its own! Wants for its own birth! Please… don’t kill it… It’s…
[Gunshot]
Kiritsugu:
No…you are the fool… I can’t understand…
[Saber found the Holy Grail]
Saber:
Iris… viel…
Archer:
You are late Saber. I realize you were enjoying yourself with your old mad dog. But it is imprudent to the extreme to keep me waiting like you did.
Saber:
Archer…
Archer:
Look at that delightful expression. Like that of a ravenous wild dog.
Saber:
Get out of my way… you haven’t won… the Holy Grail belongs to me!
[Saber was stabbed]
Saber:
Agh!
Archer:
Dear Saber. It is when you are delusional and crawling in the dirt… that you are at your most beautiful.
Saber:
Ugghh…
Archer:
Lay down your blade and be my wife.
Saber:
Uh?!
Archer:
A Grail that grants miracles? Where is the sense in totally obsessing over something so dubious? Abandon these foolish ideal and childish vows of yours. From now on, seek only me and devote yourself to me alone. If you do, I swear as king of all creation, I shall give you every pleasure the world has to offer.
Saber:
You would steel the Holy Grail from me?! For such utter nonsense?!
[Saber was stabbed]
Saber
Uh!
Archer:
I was not asking for your opinion. I am informing you of my decision. Now, let us hear your response.
Saber:
I refuse… I would never…
[Saber was stabbed]
Saber:
Ugh!
Archer:
Shyness has left you at loss for words I see. That’s fine. You may answer wrongly as many times as you like. If you would learn the joy of serving me, you must first learn the exquisite pain of it as well.
[Kiritsugu appears]
Saber:
Kiritsugu…
Archer:
Uh, then you finally made your decision.
Kiritsugu:
In the name of Kiritsugu Emiya, and by my Command Seal…
Saber:
Give me… the Holy Grail…
Kiritsugu:
I order you… use your Noble Phantasm… Destroy the Grail…
Saber:
Huh?
Archer:
Impossible! What are you doing, Saber?!
Saber:
No!
Kiritsugu:
By my third Command Seal, I order you again…
Saber:
But why Kiritsugu?! You of all people… why this?!
Archer:
Damn you to hell! You dare interrupt my nuptial?! Mongrel!
Kiritsugu:
Saber, destroy…
Saber:
STOOOOOOP!!!
Kiritsugu:
The Holy Grail.
[Saber releases the power of Excalibur]

Shirou:
I remember the look on his face. The tears in his eyes. A man filled with joy from the bottom of his heart. I felt jealous of him. He said… “Thank you”.
