Guardian of Light(Fate/Zero Fanfic)

Ch. 16: The Final Battle

Saber dodged a blow from Berserker, her bangs covering her eyes as she blocked the barrage of attacks from the crazed male. 'Did my leadership lead you to this?' She questioned herself, blocking more attacks from the knight.

Lancelot let out a crazed roar as he continued to attack the blonde King of Knight's. She moved to the side, sweat dripping down her face from the heat of the flames. She bit her lip as she dodged the insane knight's attacks. 'Is what he said true?' She thought back towards the banquet between the kings of the war. Specifically, what Rider, the King of Conqueror's, had said about kingship.

One single year slid down her cheek before she impaled one of her most trusted knight's in the chest. "Even so...I will win the Grail and reverse what has happened..." Arturia Pendragon declared.

Lancelot slumped onto the Saber's body before finally speaking the first clear words since the war began. "Even after everything that has happened, you will still take up your sword for such a foolish reason?" The long purple haired man asked, his crazed look and the black mist that covered his body leaving him. "You truly are a difficult person to understand..." he whispered before falling to the side off of the King. Saber stared blankly ahead, the grip on her sword shaking slightly.

'Almost there...' Jean thought running to the other side of the building. She didn't dare stop, her Servant was fighting hard and if her plan doesn't work it would all be for nothing.

"Tohsaka!"

The young girl turned her head slightly to see Edward, part of his outfit was bloody but other than that he looked fine. "Sorry I can't stop right now!" She called out towards him before she kept running. She heard footsteps behind her and could only assume that it was the blue-haired Mage.

"What are you running for?"

"I have a plan to destroy the Grail but Lancer is fighting off Gilgamesh right now and I'm not sure how long he can hold him off for," she explained jumping down a set of stairs that they were near. She stopped in front of a door and breathed heavily. "Where's Kiritsugu?" She asked between breathes.

"I'm not sure, we got split up trying to find Irisviel."

"He's probably fighting Kotomine," when she was finally able to catch her breath, she snuck into the room that held Lancer and Archer. Being careful not to make a sound. The two were engaged in a battle, both sides not wavering. Jean and Lancer locked eyes for a second, which was all the female needed to continue her plan. She was now on the ground floor and her eyes looked up to the Grail. "Allura, are you here?" She questioned somewhat quietly. When the older female didn't respond she sighed in slight annoyance.

Lancer dodged a few weapons, keeping an eye on the Archer as well as the mages behind him. 'What is she doing?' He thought, deflecting a sword as he slowly got closer to the blonde.

Jean crept closer to the Grail, her sword in her hand as she walked. "Edward, I need a lift," she said looking towards him. The male nodded before getting on a knee. The young Tohsaka took a step back before running full speed at the slightly older Mage. She stepped on his back back and pushed mana through her legs to jump. Jean brought down her diamond bladed sword, the blade hitting the Grail only for it to rebound back. She let out a small Yelp as she was blast back to the ground. "Master!"

"Stupid protection spell," she stated rubbing her head slightly.

"Tohsaka! Are you alright?" Edward asked, worry in his lilac eyes.
