There are always fewer seats called "happiness"

than there are people to fill them.

-EMIYA, Wrought Iron Hero

----------------------------------------------------------

Izayoi reached The Matou residence,which is located on the southern end (where the western style houses are) of Miyama Town.

The mansion contains a bas.e.m.e.nt used as a training ground for the magi of the Matou family. However, the bas.e.m.e.nt is actually the breeding ground for Zouken Matou's Crest Worms.The place where Sakura was tortured.

Izayoi break destroyed the door and entered the house it was a fairly normal house,if normal means filled with crest worms.Gil behind him also entered there.

Gil: Wait! i understand that you want to kill him but aren't you too angry.

Izayoi: It's personal!

Before Gil could ask anything further,an old man who was completely bald and hunched over, making him short in size and looked like a corpse appeared before them out of nowhere.He was wearing plain robes and is often depicted with a walking stick.

Old man: Who are you?And what are you doing?

His voice was downright creepy.

Izayoi: "Are you the current Matou family head?",Izayoi asked with an angry voice.

Old man: Well you break into my HOUSE and ask me this.I am Zouken Matou,the current head of Matou family.

Gil: Zouken Matou,or should i say Zolgen Makiri.

Gil had the research of Matou family and it wasn't hard for him using his Noble Phantasm to know who Zouken really was.

Zouken was shocked and then he looked at Gil more carefully and said in shock.

Zouken: How is it possible?How are still here Archer?

Izayoi: Those questions for later.First tell me,WHY THE HELL DID YOU DO THAT TO SAKURA?

Zouken: Sakura,my dear grand-daughter.Where is she?

Gil: Away from a mongrel like you.

Izayoi: Why the hell did you do that to her?

Zouken: It's because i own her!Her father gave her to me.

Izayoi: You..... son of a bitch,do you have idea,how much that girl had to suffer through?WHY DID YOU DO THAT?

Zouken: Why?Why?I don't know,i just want live longer and achieve immortality by Heavens feel.

Gil: Immortality!Why the hell would you want that?

What Gilgamesh learned in his life that immortality wasn't as great as people thought of it.Limitation of life is what makes it so meaningful.

Zouken: I don't know!Just die.....

Giant worms around the size of a car came out beneath breaking the floor.these creatures were giant, chitinous, spider-like and the size of a car.

Gil: Seriously this is it.Gate of Babylon.

Golden portals appeared behind Gilgamesh and numerous weapon were shot of them.Each weapons completely obliterated the worms.

Izayoi: That's it?That's all you got?

Zouken: Take this.

Numerous flying insects like came of Zouken and attacked Izayoi and Gil.

An evolution of Crest Worms, Blade Wing Worms are carnivorous flying insects with sharp teeth and bladed tails and legs. They can be hatched from regular Crest Worms after entering a short cocoon period, where they discard their old bodies and become Blade Wing Worms, ready to fight.

Izayoi: Disappointing as f.u.c.k.

Izayoi waved his hand and the pressure of wind was enough to crush those bugs.

Izayoi kicked A Zougen creating a hole the size of soccer ball in him.

Izayoi: Now,tell me why you did this?Why do you want immortality so much?

Zouken looked at Izayoi and answered, "Ha,ha,ha,ha i forgot about all that I was the patriarch of the Zolgen family five hundred years ago. We were a noble family that originated from Russia and were driven out of our homeland. The family later became known as Makiri when i changed his name to Zouken Makiri. The family gained ties to both the Einzbern and Tohsaka families through his friendship with Justeaze Lizrich von Einzbern and Nagato Tohsaka, and i had enough of a relationship with Kischur Zelretch Schweinorg to be considered a potential inheritor of the Jeweled Sword of Zelretch if not for Zelretch appraising the family as fundamentally evil.

I am remembering it a bit...,i had the dream of creating a utopia, having pursued it since i was around two hundred years old.I wanted to eliminate and cure all hatred and suffering.I felt grief upon finding that 'paradise' did not exist in the world and its creation was impossible with a human body, and i instead wished to go to a place where it could be accomplished. Humanity has set limits, so i wished to go outside the spiral of the brain and the limits of the body to reach the infinity called the soul.Obtaining all creation and knowledge where no human can reach, it was not to make a new world, but to change my human life.

I sought the Holy Grail to be reborn and reach the ideal utopia, the unimaginable land. With a miracle beyond human reach,i sought to eliminate all of the evils of the world, risking my life for an ideal that could not be fulfilled.Though my enemies died, he kept seeking it despite knowing it was meaningless.I believed it was my reason to exist, all while hoping that his existence would bring about a successor. In order to overthrow my youthful anguish,i came up with that answer for which even if my life should not be compensated.

I was around three hundred years old during the establishment of the Holy Grail War to fulfill my dream along with the Tohsaka and Einzbern families.My family moved to Japan under the name Matou, and while it was to hide the family's identity,we needed something tying into their real name and used a play on words.I proposed the system of 'Master' and 'Servant', while Nagato provided his property Fuyuki City and Justeaze developed the Heaven's Feel system, offered to be homunculi vessels for the Grail, and became the core of the Great Grail. Justeaze utilized her own body to become the magic circuit of the Grail.

At the time,I admired and loved her deeply, and was devastated to see her sacrifice.I had decided to ensure that her sacrifice would not be in vain by keeping himself alive long enough to witness the moment the Grail becomes completed and reaches the gate. However, as the time went on, the frustration due to the incomplete Grail and the deterioration of my body over such long period had slowly caused him to forget his original intention, and had left him only the abnormal obsession about obtaining immortality."

Gilgamesh started laughing at this and said, "Zelrecth was right.You were evil all along.You created the command seal to make the last Heroic spirit standing commit suicide.They accept being summoned and fight again for their wishes and you destroy all their effort for some kind of fake immortality."

Zouken: You are not real.Just a copy of the real one.

Gil: I experienced everything.I felt the pain the pain, sadness and everything else and those aren't fake.Burn....

Gil launched a lightning bolt from Gate of Babylon,which was an A rank attack anti-unit capable of destroying the soul of the victim....

Izayoi: Time changes people,sometime in a sad way.
