Just then they find Caster holding Taiga Fujimura hostage. When Shirou tries to follow her demands, Caster releases Taiga and strikes Saber with the Rule Breaker, transferring Shirou's Command Spells to her. At Saber's urging, Shirou leave. Just the Rin arrives with Archer to aid Shirou. However with his Command Spells gone, Rin declares that she will fight Kuzuki and Caster with only Archer. And tells Shirou leave and go to Kotomine Church. Meanwhile, Caster tortures Saber in an effort to break her and make her submit completely. However, Saber's magic resistance proves to be an obstacle for Caster's Command Spell.
After the dissolve in their alliance, Rin moves back to her home and Shirou goes to the Church for shelter after the loss of his servent. Rin begins to have dreams about a hero who was betrayed by his ideals. She begins to suspects that there was another Master in the school, one other than Shinji. she suspects, Issei Ryuudou at first, but it turns out that the Master is their teacher Soichiro Kuzuki, who controls Caster. When Rin and Archer ambush them, Kuzuki surprises them with his innate fighting abilities, enhanced by Caster's enchantment spells, which are able to cripple Rin and hold off Archer. To make things harder Caster calls forth Saber who seems to have given in to Caster. Archer growing weaker and unable to mach both Saber and Caster, decides to unleash his ultimate noble phantasm "Unlimited Blade Works". However before he could finish chanting Kuzuki shows up with a beaten Rin. Caster blackmails, Archer into joining their team or see Rin tourtured to death. Archer unwillingly allows Caster to stab him with Rule Breaker and Break the contract between him and Rin. But Caster double crosses Archer and orders Saber to kill Rin. Just then Shirou arrives to save Rin. After seeing Shirou again Saber's will is restored and she begins to snap out of Caster's control. Following the loss of Archer, Rin begins to go in despair until Lancer suddenly emerges and offers his help to them, which they accept.
They return to the Kotomine Church, where Lancer fights Archer again. Meanwhile Caster who has discovered that Saber's will has returned, tortures Saber again to fully make her submit completely, Shirou and Rin team up to fight Kuzuki and Caster, ending in a stalemate. Caster turns the tables and use a spell to completely dominate Saber and send her against Shirou and Rin. But Saber, resists and tries to stab herself before she kills Rin and Shirou. Just then shirou leaps in and stops Saber before she can stab herself, but he ends up being badly but not fully fatally impaled by Excalibur. Just then Archer admits defeat and retreats into the church. He arrives and attacks Caster with a Storm of Blades. Kuzuki protects Caster but she is badly wonded, her hand which was holding Shirou's comand seals has been severed and The Kuzuki starts dying. A wounded, despaired and crying Caster tries to save her beloved master, just then Archer comes and hacks Caster to death with his sword as pay back for what she did to everyone. He then turns his attention to a wounded Shirou and attempts to finish Shirou just then Rin arrives and convinces Archer to stop from harming Shirou. It is revealed that Archer is really a future version of Shirou Emiya who failed to become the Hero of Justice he desired to become and who offered his soul to the world becoming a Counter Guardian. He suffered a painful end and wanted to be free from suffering, and thus came back to the past to kill his younger self and erasing his existance. Rin who looks up to both Shirou and the Epic Hero manages to convince Archer not to kill his younger self. After passing out both Shirou and Rin remake their contracts with Saber and Archer and their command seals and positions as masters are restore.
A short time later, Shirou again encounters Ilya and attempts to befriend her. Instead, he is kidnapped and taken to her castle there Illya reveals that Shirou's Father, Emiya Kiritsugu was a master of the 4th Grail War and that he was her father. He had betrayed the von Einzbern family who had took him in during the previous war leading to the current war and caused the von Einzbern family a lot of suffering. She offers to spare Shirou's life should he agree to become her personal slave; fortunately for Shirou, Saber, Rin, and Archer quickly come to his rescue. During the rescue, Berserker and Ilya confront them; Archer opts to fight the pair in order to allow the others to escape. He unleashes the full power of Unlimited Blade Works on Beserker. Reducing his many lives before beserker kills Archer. Meanwhile, the trio manage to make it to a rundown shack, where (at Rin's urging) Shirou and Saber have sex in order to replenish Saber's low prana. Rejuvenated somewhat, Saber then confronts and attacks Berserker on a more equal footing; despite this, she is not able to inflict much damage upon him. However, while Saber distracts him, Rin attacks Berserker with a surprise attack which decapitates him. Surprisingly, Berserker regenerates. It is then revealed that Berserker's own body is his Noble Phantasm, God Hand, which grants him near-immortality and the capability to rise from death up to 12 times. Unfortunately for Berserker, it is at this time that Shirou's true magic skills awaken, allowing him to trace a copy of Caliburn, Saber's original sword from her past, the use of which ultimately leads to Berserker's demise. With Berserker gone, Ilya is now out of the War; feeling somewhat responsible, Shirou decides to let her stay at his house.
Soon afterward, the Emiya residence is attacked again by a revived and now insane and vengeful Caster. She had been fully healed/revived thanks to the help of Kirei Kotomine (who turned out to be alive surviving his attack by Caster). Deranged, crazed, angry and filled with hatred for what Archer had done to her Master Kuzuki, she attacks the Emiya residence again to take revenge on Shirou, Saber and Rin. The three along with Illya go outside to fight her, but Caster is killed by someone wearing golden armor before a battle can begin. Saber identifies the killer as an Archer-class Servant. She remembers him as an individual from the previous Grail War, which was ended before its completion because the Holy Grail had been destroyed. Shirou learns that Saber was a combatant in the previous war as well; furthermore, she had been the Servant of his adoptive father and had, under his father's orders, destroyed the Grail. It is also revealed that she became a Servant shortly before her death and that her greatest desire remains to return to her life and relive it. These revelations bother Shirou, as he doesn't like the idea of her dying and redoing her life.
Shirou returns to the church and asks Kirei Kotomine if a way exists to allow Saber a normal life. Kotomine explains that there is no such way, and sarcastically implies that not even the "mighty" Grail could do such a thing and depicting it as less than omnipotent, as the stories state. Dejected by this information, Shirou decides to take Saber out on a date in order to try to cheer her up. During the date, however, the two are attacked by the Archer in golden armor. Saber and Shirou soon find out he is the legendary Gilgamesh, the "King of Heroes". Shirou shields Saber from Gilgamesh's initial attack, barely surviving the blow.
