A Certain Fateful Night (FSN x Index Crossover)

[Frantic Author]

You know, from time to time I actually do write things. Things that are decent.

...

Yeah, I'm lying. I write a bunch of bullshit then probably abandon it! Thankfully I have 22 volumes and hours of free time to get me back into Index!

(Also an RP on another forum for Railgun. Yeah, I like To Aru. Sue me.)

Whatever. Let's go.

Spoiler:

Index:

• 1-2

?-?-PROLOGUE-?-?

Flames. That was all he can see - everywhere he looks, just burning, searing, flames. No breath emit from his lungs; merely short gasps as he tries to fulfill his desperate need for air.

Who is he, you ask?

A boy.

A possibility.

A chance.

But none of that would matter in minutes. He would be dead, suffocated by the unceasing flames, so bright and vivid in the light. He struggles to stand, just wanting to be able to stand on his feet before he fails to draw breath once more.

Offer.

“?” He emits a small sound, unable to show any other sign that he was alive, and his right arm moves a bit, twitching despite the pain.

Wish.

A wish? He didn’t have any wishes anymore, only a need, a desire, a desperate, powerful, hope that he would live.

Wish.

He just wants to live.

Life?

He is too young to die, too young to know about delusions, hallucinations. But it wouldn’t have mattered anyway, because his entire world is pain and fire, burning make it stop make it stop

Wish.

He just…

Wish.

He just wishes he could live.

Accepted.

He just wishes he could live and protect.

Granted.

Protect people who couldn’t protect themselves – like he couldn’t right now.

Fulfilled.

His right arm twitches again, and this time, the world changes.

Imagine.

He gasps, a breath of air finally entering his lungs. He still cannot move – trapped underneath a large plaster, but he could breathe and that meant he might live.

Break.

The boy doesn’t know what’s going on, he only knows that now he is alive. He doesn’t notice how he survives. He doesn’t notice how the fire around him vanishes when it brushes by his hand. He just knows he is alive.

Magic.

But someone notices. Someone who just wants to save as many people as possible, because the blood of hundreds stains his hands.

Fate.

So he saves the boy.

Shatter.

He encounters the boy later, in a tent, and is distracted from his task by the boy. Not because the boy is all that interesting, far from it in fact. But the boy is sitting up, and he looks so determined that it stops him in his tracks.

Supernatural.

He asks the boy for his name.

Gods.

The boy looks at him with those determined eyes, and holds out his hand, a smile on his face.

Miracles.

“Kamijou. Kamijou Touma.”

?-?-END-?-?

And now a short explanation!

Emiya Shirou does not exist in this universe. Kamijou Touma takes his place.

Everything else is the same. Same friends, same enemies, same people. Except Kami-yan is like 400% cooler than Shirou in any given instance, and he has his "hand that can destroy God's miracles."

I think I'll have something more in an hour or so. I need to figure out whether I want to do UBW or Heaven's Feel. Probably UBW, because I have a scene for it all planned out anyways.

Except Kami-yan is like 400% cooler than Shirou in any given instance,

That's... debatable.

[Lycodrake]

What Epiren said. ^^;

[mangafreak7793]

Agreed.

[gwonbush]

Kamijou touches his left hand when it gets a sharp pain out of nowhere. He loses his command spells before he even summoned his Servant.

can imagine breaker kill servants?

...Avalon is pointless here, too. Extremely powerful magical artifact...put in Touma, the Anti-Magic fighter (I think that's the shortest summary relevant to what I'm meaning).

[Epiren]

Though the two universes are really hard to mesh well, I admit to be interested in how you're gonna pull Heaven's Feel route.

EDIT: I doubt that the right arm's ability could kill servants; even the 40km sword Fiamma used had to take time to be negated. Since in then, size = amount of magic, the massive amount of magic that the servants have might be enough to protect them.

Though his other ability however...

...I don't know Touma very well at all, but I have a seriously difficult time seeing him doing anything similar enough to Shirou that would lead to any of the usual three routes. ^^;;;

[Lyric Rome]

Interesting. Subscribing now.

[Frantic Author]

No I have plans for Touma's left arm. That don't involve command seals.

So many plans.

Plans within plans outside of plans inside of a web.

(stop talking brain you make no sense)

Lyco: The basic characterization of Touma is "Like Shirou, but without the misogyny and inclination to protect people to a point where he would probably die."

[Lycodrake]

Also...if Shirou doesn't exist...are we going to see Archer(EMIYA) here, or not?

Archer: "wtf? who's this kid and where's shirou? is this another dimension with no shirou?"
that's how it would probably go.

is there gona be any accelerator and misaka in this story???

Lyco: The basic characterization of Touma is "Like Shirou, but without the misogyny and inclination to protect people to a point where he would probably die."

My To Aru fu is weak so correct me if I'm wrong, but Touma seems pretty willing to protect/help people to the point where he would probably die like for example when he went up against Accelerator.

"Emiya Shirou does not exist in this universe. Kamijou Touma takes his place."


I remember a certain "EMIYA" being created in an alternate universe.

It really depends on if I can think of a better Archer for Rin - Robin Hood doesn't really mesh well, and famous archers are rather rare. (Vishnu, Krishna, Hercules, and various Greek gods/goddesses come to mind.) I don't want to pull out a God, because Touma's already broken as fuck for FSN as is.

Accelerator duel was completely different though. Touma actually fights to the death for a reason other than "Oh well since you asked..."

And the wiki proves me wrong. Touma = Shirou, but with Anti-Magic.

[Epiren]

Didn't Shirou's inclination to be a superhero originate from the fire? In that he felt incredibly guilty of being one of the few survivors and thus dedicated himself to make up for those who died?

[Lycodrake]

Lyco: The basic characterization of Touma is "Like Shirou, but without the misogyny and inclination to protect people to a point where he would probably die."

...the fact you use the word "misogyny" in that statement to describe Shirou leads me to believe you don't know Shirou anyway...

[Epiren]

^ What Lyco said.

[ItsaRandomUsername]

"Misogny?" Sounds like someone's seen only the animu.

[Frantic Author]

I don't really like Shirou, but the setting is really interesting, and Fate in general is quite awesome. I just hate the protagonist. So much. His dialogue is either bland, generic, or chivalrous to the point where it seems like he hates women.

And now I should probably write.
