Fate/Last Light

Chapter 20

The four of them stood there in silence while Angelica laid unconscious on the ground. Shirou didn't know what to think, to him it was almost like looking in a mirror "I know this might seem crazy to you two but-" "How exactly did the two of you get here?" Archer cut Alter Shirou off before he could finish and he nodded "Four of us actually. We got here the same way they did. Though we still don't know how they did it or probably how to get back." He said and Shirou still looked baffled at the whole thing "You said there was four of you. Where are the other two?" Archer asked and Alter Shirou turned back to the mansion "On their way to help your friends. Beatrice is quite the handful so a little extra back up would definitely help." He said and turned back to Archer and Shirou. Shirou averted his gaze to Miyu, thinking back to the memories he recieved of his counterpart "I can't believe I have a sister." He thought "So why is it you're here? You saved both worlds haven't you?" Archer asked and Alter Shirou nodded "We have but Miyu was having nightmares, saying she saw this world being destroyed because of what Julian wishes for. After that I couldn't stand by and let him do that." He said and Archer looked down to Miyu, who immediately looked away, Shirou's heart felt warm but he knew they were wasting time

"We can't sit here and wait." Shirou said and Archer nodded "Right. If you're here to help. Then help us rescue Rin Tohsaka." Archer said and Alter Shirou nodded "Sure thing. Miyu, do you think you can use Sapphire to find her?" He turned to Miyu, who looked down at her hand "Sapphire?" She said and the wand wiggled as if it were shaking it's head "This Tohsaka is different from the one who know. I can't track her off of her mana." A voice said and Shirou stepped back in shock "That thing can talk?!" He yelled and Archer smacked Shirou across the back of the head "Ow!  Hey what the hell was that for?" Shirou asked and Archer sighed "Like I said, that thing is a Mystic Code. It can do things beyond your level of thinking." "My level of thinking? What's that supposed to mean?" "It means after being Rin's apprentice for so long you still don't know the in's and out's of Magecraft." The two argued while Alter Shirou and Miyu watched in confusion "My, they are a rowdy bunch aren't they?" Sapphire said and the two nodded "Oh whatever. If we can't track Tohsaka then we'll just have to search." Shirou said and Alter Shirou rose his hand "I know my way around the manor so I could guide us through." He volunteered "Then let's not waste any time." Archer said and everyone nodded and made their way towards the manor.

In the dining hall, Sieg, Ruler and Saber clashed with Beatrice. Sieg's clothes were torn, and he had bruises scattered across his face, Saber's armor had been cracked and her dress torn little, her breathing was heavy and her hair had come undone revealing her shoulder length golden hair. Ruler's dress was also tattered and her breathing heavy, showing that she was also exhausted, while Beatrice remained unharmed "Is this all you've got?" Beatrice laughed and Sieg grunted "We can't give up." Sieg said, before he could move he fell to the ground "Sieg!" Ruler yelled and immediately rushed over, she could see the dragon scales through the holes in his sleeves "You're progressing further into a dragon-kin." Ruler pointed out, above them, Beatrice leaped into the air "Don't look away! We aren't done having fun yet!" Beatrice bellowed and brought down her hammer "Ruler, Sieg!" Saber yelled as she took off in a sprint, she managed to step in front of the two and block the hammer.

The impact undid the enchantment on the blade, revealing Excalibur, Saber struggled under the weight of the hammer, her arms shaking as she tried to keep up the hammer "Julian will finally notice me after I beat you. I know he will!" Beatrice yelled with joy and Saber began to buckle. A projectile shot from the entrance and slammed into Beatrice, the projectile exploded into red light knocking her back, Saber fell to her knees, her breathing was heavy "What the?" Saber turned to see a familiar little girl with another girl standing next to her, the two looked almost identical except the girl on the right wore an outfit similar to Archer's attire with the matching skintone and hair, Saber's vision focused and immediately recognized the little girl as Illyasviel von Eizenbern. Illya wore a pink outfit that resembled that of one of those magical girls on television and she held a pink wand with a star at the top "You!" Beatrice yelled in anger "Who are they?" Sieg managed to say "Kuro." Illya said, the girl next to Illya nodded and materialized Archer's swords and rushed Beatrice.
