This actually seems like a good idea to me. I must be crazy.

Seems like a good enough idea to me. After all, things turned out fine last time my write-in won, right?

Mordred's eyes widened in shock at the sight of the blade. She had never seen it herself- It had been shattered, long before her time- But she knew enough of it to recognize it.

Gripping the sword so that the blade faced downward, Shirou thrust it toward the ground. Just before it struck, he Traced a large rock around it, the same size and shape as the one Caliburn had been in originally.

There was silence for a moment, as Shirou stepped back, and Mordred took in what the scene was.

And then, she screamed.

It was not a scream of fear, or despair, but one of hate, and rage. Shirou did not even have time to process it, before Mordred threw Clarent in his face, it's travel time reduced by Prana Burst.

Saber screamed his name, and came charging in, but the distance between Mordred and he was shorter. As Shirou parried Clarent with his bare hand, receiving a wound that would have taken him out of the fight if he didn't have Avalon as he did so, Mordred charged.

As she approached, she passed Caliburn, in its stony sheath. She picked it up as she passed, lifting the rock with the blade, and swung it at Shirou.

She's out of prana, so what's the worst that could happen?
...I'm not sorry.

    -[X] Shirou went to go get ice cream for Mordred.

    Saber stepped forward, reaching Mordred as the dust cloud faded.

    Shirou took a moment to note Mordred's height. She was taller as a kid then he had expected.

    Maybe she's just older then most of the other Heroic Spirits who had been restored to youth?

    As Shirou watched, Mordred said something to Saber.
    ​
    Saber looked vaguely uncomfortable, but came within arms reach of Mordred anyway.

    ...Well, Shirou had practiced this old song and dance many times before. He knew what to do next.

    Turning around, Shirou went to go fetch the most important factor in this delicate stage of dealing with a new Servant. Something that Illya had discovered to be the most potent weapon, that would force each and every single one of the childish Heroic Spirits into submission.

    Ice Cream.

    As Shirou reached the edge of the park, he came to the border patrol of Einzbern Homunculi.

    "Shirou." Said Sella. "Where is Saber?"

    "With the kid." Shirou replied. "There was a few... Complications... But they've been dealt with. Mostly."

    "Mostly?" Asked Sella, an eyebrow raised.

    "The Heroic Spirit was Mordred." Shirou explained. "You know, the Knight who killed Saber?"

    "Ah." Said Sella, understanding. "I can see why that could be a problem."

    "Which is why I'm here." Shirou said. "To pick up Ice Cream."

    "Of course." Replied Sella, before calling out to the distance. "Leysritt! Ice Cream!"

    A few seconds later, the Homunculus maid ran over, holding a tub of Ice Cream, and multiple Ice Cream cones.

    "Here, Sella." She replied. "Chocolate, Vanilla or Strawberry?"

    "All three." Sella replied. "And it's not for me. Give it to Emiya."

    The maid turned to him. "Ah. For the Heroic Spirit? Shall I prepare Saber's usual order as well?"

    Shirou looked at his right hand for a moment. "Well, I broke my arm in that fight, so I can only really carry one cone..."

    Leysritt nodded, before handing him a cone of Ice Cream.

    "Thank you." Said Shirou, taking the cone in his left hand. "We'll be back soon."

    "Shall I alert Mistress Illyasviel that you will be returning soon?" Asked Leysritt.

    "Go ahead." Said Shirou. "Make sure to mention that it's Mordred, while you're at it, and suggest keeping Gawain occupied."

    Leysritt nodded, before picking a phone out of her pocket. As she began pushing buttons, Shirou turned around, and began walking back towards Saber and Mordred.

    It took him a while to get back to the clearing, and the sight that met him wasn't one he was expecting.

    Mordred was sitting on the ground, weeping. Saber was behind her, on her knees to match Mordred's height, and at a complete loss for words.

    As Shirou drew closer, he heard Mordred speak up.

    "I-I just..." She trailed off as she continued sobbing. "I wanted t-to be like you, f-father. W-why..."

    "I've said it before." Saber replied. "You didn't have the capacity of a King."

    Mordred started crying louder, and Saber realized that what she said wasn't the right thing to say.

    Closing her eyes, Saber continued.

    "To become King, I sacrificed everything for my people. I ignored my own desires, and ceased to be human. For you, who was driven by so much passion... The burden of given that up, to become King, would have destroyed you."

    Mordred, still with tears rolling down her face, turned to Saber in surprise.

    "You were one of my Knights, Mordred." Saber said. "To allow you to have hurt yourself, by allowing you to become King and cut away your passion, that which made you who you are... You did not deserve such a fate. Not even after Camlann."

    Mordred looked at her King, still crying, but no longer weeping. "F-father..." She whispered, before wrapping her arms around Saber's neck, pulling her 'Father' into a hug.

    Saber seemed shocked at this, and as Mordred continued to cry, she looked even more surprised.

    After a moment, Shirou stepped forward.

    "Mordred?" He asked. The girl ignored him.

    "I have something for you." Shirou continued. Mordred looked up at Shirou for a second, before Saber spoke up.

    "I-I think we ought to go home, Mordred." Saber said. "You can eat Shirou's Ice Cream on the way.

    Mordred paused for a moment, before pulling out of the hug. As soon as Saber stood up, Mordred attached herself to Arturia's hand, and reluctantly accepted the Ice Cream with the other.

    As Saber pulled Mordred's hand forward, leading the girl out of the park, she licked the Ice Cream, testing the flavour.

    As soon as she decided she liked it, she consumed it at a rate comparable to how Saber consumes every meal.
